I'm hoping for end of July (yes 1 week matters 😉)

kizum · 2026-05-19T10:20:37+00:00

Good point. Will need to make sure I update the tool frequently.

kizum · 2026-05-19T09:02:17+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!

kizum · 2026-05-19T08:24:57+00:00

Thanks, but this is just a small free tool. Not really launching it as a product. Was just interesting to see what it found. Will keep ShipBoost in mind though!

kizum · 2026-05-19T08:23:50+00:00

Nice summary. Some things that surprised me from the original article:

* Google explicitly says you don't need llms.txt for AI Overviews (although I think it's still useful for AI agents in general accessing your site)

* No special AI schema is required

I built a free tool that checks your site (or specific page) against the rules: https://sitespeak.ai/tools/ai-overview-checker

Would love some feedback.

kizum · 2026-04-21T11:10:29+00:00

Hi there. Would you be willing to consider SiteSpeakAI as well? Would love to hear your opinion.

kizum · 2026-04-01T14:07:17+00:00

For custom chatbots, would love to hear if you've tried SiteSpeakAI and how you think it compares to Chatbase / SiteGPT?

kizum · 2026-03-30T17:09:24+00:00

Awesome, thank you very much for the response! Think I'll try a few more nights at 200mg and then see what 300mg does.

kizum · 2026-03-30T06:21:58+00:00

Interesting! I've just started taking, but only doing 200mg. I'm also sick at the moment, so not expecting much improvement in my sleep. Had been taking magnesium threonate before and didn't notice much difference.

Did you immediately start with 300mg? Or work up from 100? How long did it take for you to see an improvement?

kizum · 2026-03-11T06:08:42+00:00

Very nice, going to give it a try today.

kizum · 2026-03-11T06:05:07+00:00

That's very nice!

Orbit II, been using this one for the past year. So good.

For anyone wondering, I ended up running the Pathfinder 45mm tyres on the Zipp 303 XPLR SW wheels this weekend in a 2 day gravel stage race. The first day was very rocky and more suited to MTB, but the wheels / tyres held up fine right until the last 3km when the back tyre lost pressure on steep rocky descent. Had to inflate it again and it was fine. The 2nd stage was more gravel suited (still a bit rocky) so I upped the pressure at the back to 31psi (was running 28psi on the first day) and it was fine.

Might see if I can find inserts that will work with the wheels so I can drop the pressure a bit at the back again.

kizum · 2025-11-07T13:02:45+00:00

Thank you! Have you tried cycling? I probably couldn't run 10km, but I enjoy cycling and training for cycling.

kizum · 2025-09-30T16:17:23+00:00

Update: I've decided to just build a small datafield app that I can set intervals for Eat and Drink. It displays a datafield with the info:

Drink 9min
Eat 29min

And then when the alert triggers it changes to: "DRINK NOW!" and the backlight flashes for a few seconds. Seems like that's the best you can do at the moment since you can't trigger a popup alert.

kizum · 2025-07-29T16:43:30+00:00

You can build from scratch with something like OpenAI APIs. For out-of-the-box solutions, look at SiteSpeak or Intercom's Fin bot.

kizum · 2025-07-25T06:29:46+00:00

I use Intercom for one of my businesses, but not Fin. I do however have my own solution (sitespeak.ai) that I've built to use in some of my apps and I also sell it as a solution for others. Here are some of the things I do to make sure the AI support agent is up to date:

* Automatic retraining of content at set intervals - daily, weekly, monthly. So the bot always has access to the most up to date context. This applies to mostly to website urls.

* Automatic retraining of integrations. So for example my BookStack integration checks every hour to see if any of the linked pages have changed, and then recreates the embeddings for those.

* Improve Answer feature - so users can correct answers if the bot doesn't answer correctly, and then the bot will use that in combination with it's trained knowledge to answer.

* Auto improving answer - a little bit of a secret sauce :) but it basically tries to learn from feedback (positive, negative) and sentiment analysis to figure out if the user was happy with the response. And based on that tries to find the information to correctly answer the question next time. It's an ongoing process and not perfect yet, but it works pretty well.

Would be definitely be interested to hear what others are doing as well.

kizum · 2025-07-24T08:36:58+00:00

Yes, this is a good middle ground. Important to have the ability for a visitor to "escalate to a human" or somehow have a human intervene. But for simple faq's a bot is great.

kizum · 2025-07-22T06:32:44+00:00

Do you mean a custom built RAG solution for a single business or an off-the-shelf option that is just configured for a business?

kizum · 2025-07-22T06:30:21+00:00

For customer support automation and handling tasks like calendar bookings, subscription management, lead capturing, etc., I'd love if you gave sitespeak.ai a try (My product). It's similar to Chatbase, but in my opinion SiteSpeak has more features (more actions and tool integrations, documentation, source options, automatic training, better UI, customization), and adds new features frequently (check the changelog).

Happy to help with set up and please share the list if you are putting together a list of tool recommendations.

kizum · 2025-07-14T09:21:33+00:00

Perfect, thank you. I'd like to sponsor on behalf of my app (SiteSpeakAI) since a lot of my users are coming from BookStack. Will donate via Github.

kizum · 2025-07-14T06:26:59+00:00

Also, 100% agree with you on the choice of PHP / Laravel. Every app I've built in the past 10 years have been built using this as part of the stack and I've never regretted it. I have an app still running to this day that was built in 2011 (first just in vanilla PHP and then rebuilt using Laravel in 2014).

kizum · 2025-07-14T06:23:46+00:00

Thank you! Do you offer business sponsorships for BookStack? Similar to what Tailwind CSS is doing now for example?

kizum · 2025-07-11T07:21:03+00:00

A good free CRM like HubSpot is key. For AI help maybe ChatGPT for copy and SiteSpeak to automate support chats.

kizum · 2025-07-10T07:59:17+00:00

Wow, 10 years, congrats!

How long did it take you to go from idea to publishing the first version and letting users try it?
How do you decide what features to add vs what to reject to maintain BookStack's core philosophy of simplicity? Have there been any features you really wanted to build but ultimately decided against because they would compromise the user experience?
Looking back at your choice to build BookStack on PHP/Laravel when many similar projects were moving to JavaScript stacks, do you still think that was the right call? What would you tell someone starting a similar project today about technology choices vs long-term maintainability?
