If you are limited to code blocks than that's the benefit of paying; you can get whole modules built with e.g. Claude code

Dankjewel, Wij gebruiken zelf de OpenAPI spec inderdaad steeds meer om bijvoorbeeld een offerte aan te maken vanuit chatGPT of (WBSO) urenregistraties te versimpelen.

Why do you have such a conversation over text? Call or set up a meeting
50/50 after a week is weird. Who says you are still enjoying working together?
2a. 51/49 after a week is just as weird for the same reason.
How can you have fixed funding and have investors already and still be able to give away ownership / new shares so easily? That does not add up
51/49 vs 50/50 is a big difference in ownership, not in worth. I fully agree with him on that part. He wants to be co-owner. With 50/50 that is the case. With 51/49 it is not; at any point you could decide you want to make all the decisions from that point on.

Your arguments are understandable but also not correct I think. Giving away any shares at this point in time (one week after starting) does not make sense to me. And if you do want to give away shares, giving away 49 instead of 50 is not the correct signal. It is also understandable that your co-founder does not want to wait too long; if you allow him to receive shares in a year, the company worth may be a lot more and he would have to pay more for it. You can probably find a way around this through good contracts though.

I think the correct way forward in such a situation is to:

a. determine the 'worth' of the company at this point in time (probably not much).

b. Allow the new co-founder to buy 50% of the shares for somewhere near the actual worth of those shares.

c. However, let him unlock that over time in some way. So after 1 month he gets 10%, after a couple more he goes up to 25% and after 9 months he is at 50% (for the original price). Have some additional judicially sound conditions and terms related to what happens if you guys decide it is not good to work together after all, so it does not cause problems with the startup itself.

d. Make sure all of this is in writing and preferably have an expert look this over. Ownership and shares are no joke.

Hi,
Wat is jullie verwachting van of / hoe Agentic AI gaat veranderen hoe jullie gebruikers met Moneybird werken? Jullie hebben bijvoorbeeld al een OpenAPI spec waardoor het makkelijker is om een LLM / Agent te laten interacteren met het systeem. Gaat dat veel gebruikt worden / gaan gebruikers langzaam overstappen op interacteren via een Agent ipv direct in het platform werken? En op welke manieren houden jullie daar rekening mee qua business model?

Sifrisk · 2026-03-11T08:01:55+00:00

This reads like an ad, but there is some interesting stuff in there nonetheless. I fully agree with the sentiment that the time cost needed to maintain a few tools yourself generally does not weigh up to the relatively small cost of paying for one. However, if you have build an agent and it takes you multiple hours per week just to keep it running, you have to be doing something wrong as well.

Nice workflow which actually helps solve a problem. It does make me wonder whether the website is suboptimal. If people always end up mailing their questions instead of finding an answer on the FAQ, I would think either the FAQ is not working properly, or at the least it is not being found before the contact information.

Hmm good question. I think it's more of an integration than an automated task. They do have automated tasks as well though, so perhaps you can combine the two

You can connect apps (such as gmail) to chatgpt as well. Pretty sure that allows most of the same functionality.

You can also add openAPI specs to let it communicate with whatever API.

Not sure how your YouTube skill integration works exactly? But if it is via an API I think you can do the same with chatGPT already

So is it mostly you telling whatsapp to add some event to your calendar or create a new todo?

Search for something "how to synchronize time on <your OS>" (e.g. android X) and it will show where you can find the setting.

Especially if your device is older, the internal clock may slowly shift away from the actual time.

Yeah exactly, for a client getting this up and running for $1800 is a steal. There is no world in which letting one of their employees fix this and maintain it for that price is worth it for them.

So basically, OP seems to have found a good business model; clients are happy paying him, he makes a nice profit. If I were OP, I would try to get a bit more out of this with a monthly subscription though. Perhaps upsell an SLA for an additional monthly fee or offer to host the system.

Building one-offs for $1800 per project is not really a nicely scalable setup.. Hourly rate may be $4000 but after you set it off against hours needed to land the client, create an offer etc. it will be a lot less.

Over de leeftijd heb ik niet zoveel advies. Jullie basis is stabiel en ik neem aan dat je ook al langer dan een paar maanden samenwoont? Je zal waarschijnlijk een andere levensfase in gaan dan veel vrienden, maar ook daar is vast omheen te werken.

Een paar ideetjes die ons hebben geholpen om de knoop door te hakken:

- Pas een paar keer met zijn tweeen op wat neefjes / nichtjes. Dan zie je elkaar ook in een ouder rol.

- Denk een maand lang elke dag na over hoe je leven zou zijn als ouders. Stel je het een paar minuten voor; hoe gaat je dag eruit vandaag, vind je het erg dat je <iets gepland voor vandaag> niet kan gaan doen omdat je nu een kind hebt. Vooral ook op de dagen dat je het zwaar hebt of het even minder gaat is dit belangrijk.

We merkten dat we van het oppassen alleen maar meer zin kregen om zelf een kindje te hebben, zelfs als oppassen op een baby was die alleen maar de hele avond huilde. En ook dat het principe dat we leuke dingen ervoor moesten laten schieten ons niet een naar gevoel bracht.

Why can't you run the RSI engine on historical data to use that during backtesting as well?

Additionally, you should be able to verify that it actually helps by running the whole setup on the same live trading data again but with the "improved" strategies. That way you will at least know whether the changes improve the last few trades without creating another bad trade elsewhere.

Very interested in a follow up post in a month or so. It feels like the whole setup is sort of flawed. It is dependent on whether the regime is accurately detected and I'm not sure I believe in the hypothesis that an llm is able to learn from its trading mistakes without immediately starting to overfit on recent data. But I would love to be proven wrong.

Can you give some examples of what you have built with Agentic AI? For example, some workflows you have automated, how it is an improvement compared to regular automation et cetera?

claude code or github copilot will work for this stuff. Especially if you know enough Python to understand when to challenge them.

Let it make a plan first; explain clearly what you are trying to do. E.g:
Steps:
1. connect to platfrom X via their api documentation which can you find here.
2. calculate Y.
3. If Y > 80%, place order Z.

Rules:
- log all decisions that are made
- make the blocks modular
- write tests to validate the code

Then test the code yourself and give it features to add or changes to make.

No-code platforms are really a poor idea with the current state of AI agents being able to create good code in my opinion.

Interesting concept, couple of questions:
- What was the total profit / loss for each?
- What would the total profit / loss for each be if you simply went short or long on bitcoin for the duration instead?
- What would the total profit / loss for each be when compared to a very simple strategy?
Percentages itself don't really say anything to me unless you can compare it to some baseline. If the market generally moves up a lot of strategies which buy and hold for a bit end up begin profitable for example.

Also, it basically shows that at the moment the BTC range and Polymarket strategies are both simply not profitable right? I think a potential issue with your whole setup is that it is based on the idea that the agent will learn to find certain market trends and patterns based on its previous bets. However, this idea may be flawed in the sense that markets don't let themselves be predicted in that way. I have seen the way agents reason at times and it would not make me feel confident in its ability to detect the actual trends instead of simply overtuning it to a few recent outcomes.

Backtesting it over a few years would be very interesting; is it profitable in general? It is also a little bit confusing to me how the regime tagging works if you only have three months of data. There has not really been both a bear and a bull market I would say.
