But yeah it'll never be perfect. I imagine the grok bot will trigger an agentic pipeline which will have multiple layers of defence rather than just doing whatever the bug report says

something like: 1. is this bug report malicious? 2. can this be reproduced? 3. is this a real bug or intended behaviour? 4. fix the bug 5. review the change (or multiple review agents focused on different factors like correctness, performance, security)

crafting an adversarial prompt to defeat all the layers without an agent realising its building a security vulnerability is probably quite a challenge

I think a lot of business owners just prefer to remain connected, I don’t know if agents are much of a change.

I disagree, enjoy the beautiful hike and give your brain a rest.

For example, I found that two of my favorite software products were built by a single person (I assumed medium-sized team for each). That, if anything, made me appreciate them more. My 2c.

Not saying this distinction is useful, but at least it's a common way of talking about the various forms of "being your own boss".

When I hear “one man startup” I imagine a monthly SaaS product.

Seems like a reasonable distinction to me.

Keeps me in the driver's seat.

Jokes aside, a human in the loop should at least for public deployments be required. Or at least thats what I would want.

All of it is self hosted, models are Ollama Cloud and OpenRouter. You can throw dirt cheap models at a lot of these tasks and they perform very well. It’d be no effort at all to replace inference providers.

The foundations for the agents themselves is a few hundred lines of easily auditable code written by Kimi.

That way you can tell AI 1 to write into it and AI 2 can see where every work you do is currently standing and continue from there.

In my case - about 15,000% ROI this year - I pay OpenAI their $200 a month, and from it I’ve had:

- Tangible revenue boost on one business by having it build tooling and manage pricing

- Entire backlog of scheduling hell sorted out - again by having it build tooling and then using it to automatically route jobs to contractors and schedule them, deal with exceptions, etc. My complaints pipeline has dried up, and now my entire process for a problem is to go “yes, approve” a few times.

- Saved a fortune on legal fees around a complex intercontinental move - don’t need no immigration advisor when you’ve got a bot to dredge up and fill in forms for you - all accepted, I might add.

- Flipped two properties successfully, again by building AI-assisted tooling to sift through tens of thousands of real estate listings and surface the handful that are mispriced.

While I’m at it, I also have it crank out a weekly episode of an adventure game for my daughter, which I tailor to her interests and whatever she’s learning about this week. The value there is intangible but immeasurable. Imagine! A voice acted, scored, engaging game for an audience of one - the economics would have been inconceivable even a year ago.

I can hands down say that none of this would have happened without profligate use of LLMs.
