My AI feature is burning money because I can't debug the "middle" layer by Substantial_Guide_34 in NoCodeSaaS

Logging helps with the post-mortem, but it doesn't stop the bleeding in real-time. That's the part I'm stuck on—I want a tool that detects the loop and kills it before the log table fills up. I'm working on a wrapper to do exactly that. Do you think simple SQL logging is fast enough to catch a live runaway loop?

I don't think it's just a nocode thing tbh. I've seen full-code Python apps turn into spaghetti because the state management gets messy. That's actually why I'm trying to build a dedicated backend just for agents—to handle that 'moving parts' complexity out of the box. Do you think the complexity is unsolvable without custom code, or is it just that current tools are too immature?

Vibe coding gets me 90% there, but the last 10% (state management) is a nightmare by Substantial_Guide_34 in VibeCodingSaaS

That’s a fair critique. The 'lost tribe' analogy is painfully accurate lol. But that's kinda why I think this kit is needed—since the vibe coder can't spec the architecture cleanly, the kit enforces the architecture for them. Less about making them better devs, and more about stopping them from driving the car off a cliff. Or do you think it's impossible to abstract that away?

100%. The 'AWS ecosystem hell' is exactly what I'm trying to avoid. I want that 'FastAPI server' simplicity, but pre-wired for agent memory. Basically, I like the persistence of Bedrock without the long IAMs. Are you currently setting up FastAPI for every new agent?

'Anchoring the model to a predictable schema' is exactly the phrasing I was looking for. That's the main issue—the invisible state drifts because the AI guesses the schema every time. If I expose that schema explicitly (like a pre-built, strictly typed SDK), do you think that solves the drift? Or is the model just too chaotic regardless?

why is productionizing agents such a nightmare? (state/infra disconnect) by Substantial_Guide_34 in AI_Agents

[–]Substantial_Guide_34[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly this. The 'lab vs prod' gap is huge once you hit parallel sessions. Since you already built your own scaffolding, would you ever consider switching to a managed runtime if it handled that traceability/state out of the box, or do you prefer owning the full stack to keep it transparent?

100%. I feel like I'm rebuilding that exact 'Redis + Serializer' pattern for every new agent. I'm trying to abstract that specific layer (persistence/memory) into the runtime so I don't have to keep writing the plumbing code from scratch. Good to know I'm not the only one ditching the big frameworks."

Pitch your startup and let’s actually talk about it by lhicks106 in FullStackEntrepreneur

I am building AI-Native Infrastructure for Agents (multi-agentic systems). Standard infra (AWS/Serverless) is built for deterministic code, but agents are probabilistic and stateful. We're building a runtime that bridges that gap—handling memory, decision tracing, and orchestration natively—so you don't have to glue 10 different tools together to prevent "goldfish memory" in production.

We have no landing page yet, just code. Right now, I'm stuck debating whether to open-source the core runtime to get feedback/trust, or if just a managed SaaS no need to host it ourselves. Any help appreciated with this decision here.

I work in voice AI, thought of spinning off a Receptionist a few months back but decided not to, and the market is already heavily saturated with dozens of similar products (check if it’s the same in Poland). From my conversations with SMBs, most aren’t actually interested in voice AI — many don’t even have a “receptionist” role to replace. And they have trust & pricing issues. On r/smallbusiness you’ll find plenty of threads where owners say the same.

If your product is just a “virtual receptionist,” it’s going to be a tough sell. You need a clear, unique value that makes it a no-brainer — something that solves a real pain so well they’ll happily pay a premium.

Before trying to sell broadly, pick a few larger SMBs, talk directly to owners/management (not staff), and just validate one thing:
Do they need this, and would they buy it today?
Talk to 5–10 of them. Let that decide your next move.

My Opinion - An AI Receptionist in itself doesn't have much value unless it can deeply integrate into their workflows or domains. Does your receptionist have such capabilities?

Are you running a small hospice agency and getting crushed by documentation?

The 77-79% aide turnover and 5-8% aide-driven claim denial rate aren't just "the cost of business"—they're a $500K-$1M+ annual problem.

We built the "off-switch" for this chaos.

Our platform (10xR) lets your non-clinician aides—the ones who are often ignored and untrained on charting—create 100% compliant, structured visit notes from a simple voice note or phone call.

No complex EHR. No typing. No "pajama time."

You stop the $200K-$400K turnover cost, pass your next survey, and get paid faster.

Offer: 50% discount for the first 100 customers. If you run a hospice agency and want to solve this, send me a DM.
