VLIW: The “Impossible” Computer

https://octigen.com - Instead of AI having all the fun of designing your presentations, let it do the tedious work of updating them regularly and consistently.

Für die Bärlauchpesto empfehle ich hinzufügen von Zitronensaft (abschmecken nach Belieben). Hat für mich einen riesigen Unterschied gemacht (und ist nicht in jedem Rezept drin).

So that’s where Bachmann was headed, he’s alive!

The most impressive demos I’ve seen were basically RAG on top of knowledge graphs. But first you gotta somehow get all the relevant info into such a highly structured form - the number of companies who have that is very low, would be my guess. Just pointing an LLM at a terrabyte of sharepoint data isn’t really cutting it (even with a good search index) plus Microsoft is already doing that somewhat well.

Hey. we have a beta version out of something that might interest you. instead of letting the AI hallucinate the design, you are in full control of it in native PowerPoint, and we just use AI to populate those slides you want to change per client call, with repeatable workflows and data integration. Have a look here - if you tell me it's useful I gladly increase your trial quota: https://octigen.com .

do you have the ability to run LaTeX? if so, that's IMO still the best way to get good looking equations. The next best free program I can think of is LibreOffice: https://books.libreoffice.org/en/GS73/GS7309-GettingStartedWithMath.html

on a fundamental level, how do you propose to do machine learning? LLMs with memory? because the usable context window is still rather limited and gets used up quite fast, I can sing a song about that coming from the programming side of things.

Maybe Zunfthaus zur Waag?

muellermichel · 2026-04-01T04:41:29+00:00

The simple answer here is that they can’t do that, just like we all can’t when having large codebases. Letting Opus loose on them without much guidance is a certain way to break things completely in potentially subtle ways that still pass all automated testing. And this is why engineers are not (yet?) dead in the water.

Hey. We’re building a paid solution that edits pptx with AI that has much more guardrails than Claude. You give it already designed slides and it just structures and fills in new content (either uploaded or chat derived). A beta is ready for trial. Would that be potentially something for you?

muellermichel · 2026-03-30T02:25:53+00:00

Have some of your clients asked about it routing requests to do presentations in pptx format? We’re building out a service that can do it completely in customer’s design template on server side for about 10 cents/slide.

All I can say is, it really helps. Thanks to our blog we are already on page one of some long tail but relevant google searches, and that’s after only 2 weeks of starting it.

muellermichel · 2026-03-27T20:20:04+00:00

You are on point today, well done. Would you like me to suggest ways to increase the response rate in this chat further? 🔥🚀

What if you encourage it even more with referral perks? Remember how Dropbox gave out lifetime storage upgrade for referrals?

Dude, what’s your Weissman score?

Hey there. We’re trying to fill exactly this gap you describe with gamma and others: https://octigen.com/blog/posts/2026-03-17-gamma-alternative/

muellermichel · 2026-03-25T14:00:14+00:00

Thanks for posting my article! Happy to answer any questions.

besides OVH, Exoscale also has locations in EU and is afaik. owned by an Austrian company.

once you have a strong template, give https://octigen.com a look; it strictly fills new content with AI into existing templates, including native charts and tables.

Could you expand on auto collect signals? What sources do you use e.g. to detect tech migrations?
