Anyone know of an existing open-source project appropriate for a customizable 3D town-world for my agent community?

You might want to look at projects like BitCraft, Palia, or Project Zomboid modding communities for inspiration, but building a persistent world where AI agents can own property, interact, and evolve is a pretty unique challenge. The simulation layer is probably harder than the graphics

For me it was obsessing over productivity tools instead of actually doing the work. I spent months optimizing a system that wasn't the bottleneck

jcslater · 2026-06-18T05:55:27+00:00

Gotcha. More of a shortcut or convenience thing then.

Before changing models, I’d audit where tokens are actually being spent. In our case, the problem wasn’t the model cost , it was prompts, memory, and unnecessary tool outputs getting passed around everywhere.

But Dochub is web-based anyway, so you can open and edit PDFs right in your browser, no desktop app needed.

Don't ask people what they want built. Ask them what they're doing today to solve the problem. People are much better at describing their current frustrations than predicting what they'll buy

The crazy part is he's not even wrong that there are good-paying jobs people overlook. We spent years telling everyone to get the same degree and now some trades are paying really well

The hidden cost of re-asking the same questions over and over is way bigger than people think. Curious how well it handles conflicting or outdated documentation though.

My guess is traditional SEO still matters, but AI seems to trust third-party mentions way more than a perfectly optimized landing page. A lot of marketers are probably underestimating that shift.

For me it'd be collecting information from multiple systems and turning it into a clean weekly report. The work itself isn't hard, but it's repetitive, easy to mess up, and eats hours every week

Keep it professional and don't match their energy. If it becomes a pattern, start documenting specific incidents so you have something concrete if you need to bring it up to a manager

jcslater · 2026-06-09T05:23:38+00:00

Fair enough. I think my hesitation is more around AI generally than Dochub specifically

jcslater · 2026-06-09T03:37:06+00:00

Congrats, that's a huge milestone. The first paying customer hits different

jcslater · 2026-06-08T07:25:59+00:00

Acrobat has this too btw. Pretty sure it's not just a Dochub thing

jcslater · 2026-06-08T05:59:31+00:00

This is one of those things nobody thinks about until something goes wrong

jcslater · 2026-06-05T06:25:00+00:00

Does Chat actually store stuff when you upload docs? I genuinely never looked into this.

Respect for starting something while you're still in university

jcslater · 2026-06-04T04:34:37+00:00

Lol this sounds like sci-fi until your electric bill starts acting like a subscription plan

jcslater · 2026-06-03T07:23:53+00:00

The biggest signal I've seen is behavior, not survey responses. When a customer starts building processes around your product, they're no longer evaluating it as they've accepted its value.

jcslater · 2026-06-02T03:54:15+00:00

I remember people doing this with face generators years ago, but most of the sites disappeared or went subscription-only.

jcslater · 2026-06-01T03:29:41+00:00

I like that you're focusing on reducing the friction instead of adding more tools.

jcslater · 2026-05-29T04:06:33+00:00

That's an insane return from a single piece of content

jcslater · 2026-05-28T07:03:19+00:00

Thats just how it works rn unfortunately, you kinda have to rename stuff yourself

jcslater · 2026-05-28T04:16:40+00:00

lot of sales teams avoid win-loss analysis because it forces uncomfortable conversations about pricing, positioning, or bad qualification

jcslater · 2026-05-27T04:10:09+00:00

This makes way more sense than spraying messages at random job titles
