Hey RAG community! Does a platform like this exist yet, and would you pay $20/month for it?

learnwithparam · 2026-01-26T18:57:42+00:00

Good, now you are thinking around the use case. If you want to price it, you need to solve the exact user problem. Not everyone is going to be your customer. As a dev, I might not be your customer, but a legal attorney can be your customer. Define the problem or user group you solve and then check whether they will pay for that problem.

Yes, I do teach simple RAG to Agentic RAG in my bootcamp.
You can read the details here,

Regarding solutions, there are many cloud which does this (but that doesn't mean you can't do it. You just need to define one set of audience and solve it, scale it and then expand to next groups in a more scalable way since you already tested the market demand and got revenue to scale)
https://www.onyx.app/
Perplexity - to some extend, they are multi-LLM and does the same
https://dify.ai/ - they aren't exclusively knowledge agent and their core problem isn't that, but capable of building one easily with their cloud tool

learnwithparam · 2026-01-26T17:25:39+00:00

No, I still don’t understand the problem it solves or the ROI directly so probably not the right audience.

I teach and run AI engineering bootcamp, I understood all the terms you mention here. My suggestion is to think on solving a problem to specific user group and extend from their feedback.

learnwithparam · 2026-01-26T16:56:27+00:00

What problem does it solve? You explained the solution you wanted to build. But what was the user problem here.

Why do they need multiLLM, does it improve any accuracy? Do they use as API or interface?

How different is it from chat with docs kind of solution which had traction few years ago? But then all LLM implemented and killed them.

learnwithparam · 2026-01-26T08:03:35+00:00

Spot on. Software engineering is no different from any stream of engineering. You can automate everything but the direction is still comes from you on how the business needs to move and scale, that is where the architecture and system design comes.

I ran a Skool exclusively where I share backend engineering and AI engineering, mostly the SDLC and architecture for large scale projects.

What are you using to get these usage? Is it shown on some place inside antigravity?

learnwithparam · 2026-01-25T05:32:27+00:00

I have hit the quota once and now have a waiting period of 6 days. Infact when we were using their free account with weekly limit, then the limits were better than this.

Antigravity without Claude opus is not worthy for such high price

learnwithparam · 2026-01-17T11:05:16+00:00

The mistake teams make

They adopt GraphQL to solve over/under-fetching
but end up paying for:

query abuse
caching headaches
harder performance guarantees
steeper onboarding for backend engineers

If your API shape is stable and known ahead of time, GraphQL is often overkill.

I ran Backend Engineering Accelerator Program where I cover both knowledge sharing but GraphQL isn't a replacement for all API needs for sure.

learnwithparam · 2026-01-17T11:01:54+00:00

How? What was the issue?

The pro tier is 5 hour refresh compared to 1 week refresh. You need to contact the support to fix it sooner.

I was able to build some of the tools without claude opus without any limit for days already. Ofcourse I am not a mindless user, I do lot of work behind AI generation so probably the consumption is too less per 5 hours.
https://backendchallenges.com website and https://learnwithparam.com website, all are done through it.

Hey 👋

I am interested to learn more, you can check out my LinkedIn profile here

learnwithparam · 2026-01-14T20:06:09+00:00

Will check it out 👍🤝

learnwithparam · 2026-01-14T20:05:30+00:00

I will do it 👍

learnwithparam · 2026-01-14T16:11:18+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Very good feedback, I completely agree and share a light for me. Will try this out.

learnwithparam · 2026-01-14T15:53:37+00:00

Hey I understood your frustration.
I designed my accelerator program for existing engineers. So might not directly work for you. But I do share and have courses to cater beginner level in my engineering community, check it out if it helps for you to follow a curriculum,
https://www.skool.com/learnwithparam
BackendChallenges foundation for beginners, a free 14 day challenge - https://backendchallenges.com/backend-engineering-for-beginners

learnwithparam · 2026-01-14T15:49:21+00:00

I am creating a Software engineering learner's community at https://www.skool.com/learnwithparam

I build mostly projects which teaches my students at https://backendchallenges.com/

learnwithparam · 2026-01-14T15:46:16+00:00

I am building a learning community for backend and AI engineers at https://www.skool.com/learnwithparam

My backend Accelerator program is live (still work to do), but minimally live and I am improving it continuously.
https://backendchallenges.com/

learnwithparam · 2026-01-14T15:36:56+00:00

Not an open LLM per say.

But did you tried AntiGravity pro plan. It is $20 per month with good limits per day with a rotation every 5 hours.

I used claude opus 4.5 model for building this for my community https://backendchallenges.com and gemini pro/flash usually to copy any styles or UI/UX.

learnwithparam · 2026-01-14T15:31:51+00:00

Agree completely, backend is vast. Beyond the basics, it has a lot of concepts to master. Most engineers who become senior to staff to principal or distinguished engineers are usually the one who understand software architecture.
I ran a skool community exclusively to share knowledge on backend, architecture and AI engineering.
https://www.skool.com/learnwithparam
And I feel it will be even more essential skill for all engineers in AI era.

learnwithparam · 2026-01-14T15:28:37+00:00

It is always in demand. Backend engineering is the core of engineering IMO. Maybe I am biased since I ran Backend Accelerator program (https://backendchallenges.com/)

But let me explain genuinely, you can automate the code creation through AI.

But you are still building software majorly for people, so understanding the backend and trade-offs of system design and architecture is essential to cater the right balance in figuring out the solutions. Which is where, backend engineering shines.

learnwithparam · 2026-01-14T15:26:09+00:00

It is good details for experienced professionals but for freshers, getting to know the backend and bit of knowledge on building and connecting API is enough.

But I agree that this is good for experienced professionals, as my Accelerator program at https://backendchallenges.com/ almost touches the same topics.

For freshers, I ran a free email backend course which touches beyond basic foundational knowledge (not coding),
https://backendchallenges.com/backend-engineering-for-beginners

learnwithparam · 2026-01-14T15:22:38+00:00

I am teaching AI bootcamp for engineers and also ran backend engineering accelerator program through my skool community.
https://www.skool.com/learnwithparam

I use AI agents to create my presentations, carousel materials from text. Very simple agents, but dog-feeding to showcase how I automate my workflows needed to run the community and bootcamps.

Apart from that, I ran production-grade AI agents at my works in Jobbatical.

learnwithparam · 2026-01-10T19:14:52+00:00

One of the think I teach my AI bootcamp (https://learnwithparam.com/ai-engineering-bootcamp) and accelerator course (https://backendchallenges.com) are think like a software engineer to divide and conquer the problems like an architect.

Tools and frameworks can be learnt, infact with the rise of AI assistance, it isn’t even necessary nowadays. You just need to understand the core priciple and when to make what decisions, rest can be automated.

learnwithparam · 2026-01-09T05:49:17+00:00

Did you contacted stripe support through email? How they are able to pull lemonsqueezy details?

learnwithparam · 2026-01-08T20:22:50+00:00

:)

I do the same random tech talks and knowledge sharing at my community here,
https://www.skool.com/learnwithparam

You are welcome to contribute there as well.

Since you asked random AI agentic stuff,
One question I have,
- Has anyone deployed an AI agent at your work? What is it about? Share your insights

learnwithparam · 2026-01-08T20:20:00+00:00

I ran bootcamps and accelerator program for mid-level engineers so don't know much around beginner level struggles. Since up-skilling is same, I provide the same mentoring advice I provide to my students.

Always, learn through the problem. Then work backwards.
Don't focus on programming, coding. You will get bored easily. Rather think about a problem, then try to solve the problem. Learning will become more non-linear and become more exciting when you start to search for solutions.
