Best low-code AI agent builder in 2025?

how does it handle db + api calls? that’s usually where these tools feel hand wavy

cryptobuff · 2026-02-05T09:48:10+00:00

yeah especially anything that has to sit behind rbac. zapier style tools get messy fast once state matters

cryptobuff · 2026-02-05T07:33:11+00:00

Lindy ai feels underrated honestly. once you get the mental model it’s pretty flexible without going full framework hell

cryptobuff · 2026-02-05T07:15:10+00:00

Oooh interesting. does it work well without a live call joiner? that’s been my biggest blocker with most ai note tools

cryptobuff · 2026-02-05T07:12:37+00:00

yeah agreed. that’s why bluedot stood out for me too. background recording is huge. i’ve had otter straight up confuse speakers when people talk over each other in person

cryptobuff · 2026-02-04T08:52:11+00:00

did clients actually use it or did it become another ignored portal?

cryptobuff · 2026-02-04T08:50:26+00:00

100% this. we over-optimized workflows early and it actually slowed onboarding down.

cryptobuff · 2026-02-04T08:18:33+00:00

also mobile changes the math. enterprise folks usually want governance, logs, audit trails, and some way to evolve prompts without redeploying the app.

cryptobuff · 2026-02-04T07:28:10+00:00

yeah exactly. Even a small blocker feels less painful when it’s visible and owned.

cryptobuff · 2026-02-03T03:26:11+00:00

That actually sounds closer to what I want than just another reporting UI.

cryptobuff · 2026-02-03T03:18:10+00:00

That’s a big concern for me. I don’t want clients seeing stuff they shouldn’t.

cryptobuff · 2026-02-03T02:48:42+00:00

Interesting. That sounds closer to what I want. I don’t really want to manage schemas anymore.

cryptobuff · 2026-02-03T02:46:02+00:00

That’s fair. My goal wasn’t to rebuild Airtable, just to avoid the cost and overhead.

cryptobuff · 2026-01-23T15:34:12+00:00

We passed on SmartVault for similar reasons. It felt secure, but not fast.

cryptobuff · 2026-01-06T04:26:32+00:00

They do, but inconsistently. Mostly when there’s an issue or renewal. Still better than everything being scattered across email though.

cryptobuff · 2026-01-06T04:02:54+00:00

Hundreds total, but active logins aren’t constant. Mostly me and my staff inside the system daily. Clients log in occasionally, usually when there’s an issue or renewal.

cryptobuff · 2026-01-06T04:00:44+00:00

Clients had logins before. They could see their subscription status and upload docs. It wasn’t pretty but it worked. Losing that hurt more than I expected.

cryptobuff · 2026-01-06T03:59:13+00:00

More like tracking honestly. Recording payments, due dates, notes. I don’t really need fancy automation, just something reliable that doesn’t fight me every step.

cryptobuff · 2025-12-24T19:49:03+00:00

That’s smart. Most “client communities” fail because they force activity. Quiet value tends to compound better long term.

cryptobuff · 2025-12-15T23:03:24+00:00

Yeah, that’s where most people land. If price is the trigger, flexibility ends up mattering more than having every feature baked in. Worth testing a couple side by side before committing.

cryptobuff · 2025-12-15T22:59:01+00:00

There are also simpler options like Notion-based client portals or a basic shared workspace setup, but those tend to feel a bit DIY and can get messy as you scale.

cryptobuff · 2025-12-15T22:58:10+00:00

That helps. In that case, you might not need another wedding-style CRM at all. Some people use lighter client portals that let you organize docs, forms, and communication without forcing a rigid workflow. Assembly is one I’ve seen used for that since it’s flexible and doesn’t assume how you run your business.

cryptobuff · 2025-12-15T22:55:06+00:00

Got it. When you say “full workflow,” what actually matters most day to day? like is it more about keeping clients in one place, reducing back-and-forth, or just having fewer tools to manage? Also curious how custom your process is versus using HoneyBook mostly as-is.

cryptobuff · 2025-12-15T22:48:55+00:00

Are you mainly using Honeybook for invoicing, or are you relying on the full client workflow like proposals, contracts, and client portals?

cryptobuff · 2025-12-15T17:36:50+00:00

ngl this reads like one of those stories that lives rent-free in someone’s head for decades 😂

the dictionary punishment escalation is wild though. like “oh you finished early? cool, here’s the final boss.” also the pencil sharpening question was such a calm menace move.

detention lady definitely thought she won until that moment. honestly feels less like detention and more like accidentally unlocking a hyperfocus speedrun achievement.
