I’m using the Daimon App for a few weeks now, I downloaded it bc I saw it on Tiktok and figured I’d try it since it’s free I wanted something closer to an accountability companion than a normal AI chatbot, and so far I like that it feels more direct than ChatGPT and keeps track of what I’m working on. I mainly use it when I’m procrastinating, need to organize my thoughts, or want something to push me to actually do what I said I would do. Some conversations can still feel repetitive, and sometimes the advice is generic. I’m also still trying to figure out whether it’ll stay useful long term or if the novelty will wear off. Overall, I’ve found it much more useful for motivation and accountability than for deep conversations. Anyone else who’s tried it, do you agree with me?

Hi, would love to exchange content/followers in the AI Tech/Fintech niche. Dm if you’re looking to grow your visibility online

ChatGPT has retired its canvas (side by side direct editing tool) from its latest models – with older models about to be retired.

Unless I am missing something, Codex just doesn't seem to have the same direct-editing features unless you're happy to use Markdown.

So, I'm trying to find an alternative canvas tool, as this was an incredibly useful for my workflow.

This is what I have so far, although I haven't done any extensive testing:

• Claude has its artifact feature, but it only edits conversationally and not direct,"word processor" style.
• Mistral Vibe has one, but you still need to scroll up the chat to open the panel. It's capacity for English and understanding is a bit behind though.
• Gemini has a Canvas, but you cannot resize the text area – and in my experience, it tends to hallucinate a little too much for my personal field of research.

So, are there any other AI platforms that offer anything similar, and – if you've used it, what are its limitations?

For people who use AI tools like Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, or ChatGPT for real work:

What is frustrating about working with AI today?

Is chat the best interface, or do you wish AI work felt more like a workspace where you can see tasks, files, progress, decisions, context, and agent activity?

What UI/UX would make AI easier to work with every day?

For example: a project dashboard, task timeline, visual workflow, shared workspace, better file/context view, approvals, or something completely different.

I’d love to know:

• What kind of work you use AI for
• What currently feels broken or annoying
• What your ideal AI work interface would look like

I’ve been in contact with a lot of web agencies and web developers, and I personally haven’t found many people who run their agency in a more efficient way than I do. A lot of them have too many meetings, wait too long for client approval, don’t know how to price projects, and spend way too much time on each client instead of finishing the work and moving on to the next one.

I’ve been running my agency for four years, and after a lot of trial and error, I’ve managed to make the process as efficient as possible. I wanted to share some of the steps because I think they could be valuable for anyone just starting out.

Running a web agency alone or with a partner isn’t easy because there are a lot of things to take care of. When it comes to client acquisition, I recommend focusing on either cold calling or email automation. Which one you choose depends on whether you run the agency alone or with someone else.

If you have a partner, one person can handle sales while the other focuses on building websites, connecting domains, setting up emails, and taking care of the technical work. If you’re running the agency alone, or neither of you enjoys cold calling, I highly recommend email automation.

That’s what I’ve been doing for years. It’s powerful because you can send emails at scale, set up automatic follow ups, and wait for businesses interested in a new website to reply. While you’re working on one client, another opportunity can come in without you having to stop everything and search manually.

I don’t do regular email automation where I target businesses with no website. I do the opposite and target businesses that already have one.

I use a tool called Swokei to find businesses with websites, add them to campaigns, analyze each site, score it, and generate personalized outreach emails based on problems it finds with the design, layout, speed, SEO, and mobile optimization.I schedule the campaign, set up follow ups, and wait. 

I think this approach is much better for a few reasons. You’re targeting someone who already understands the value of having a website. You’re also not just asking whether they need a redesign. You’re pointing out real problems with their current site, which makes it clear that you actually took the time to look at it. Selling also becomes easier because they’ve already paid for a website before and understand the process.

Inside Swokei, you can choose the goal of the campaign. You can offer a free draft, try to book a meeting, or simply start a conversation. I always choose the free draft because that has worked best for me.

Once you’ve figured out how to get clients, the next part is building the website. I recommend using AI because it makes the process much faster. For anyone who still thinks AI can’t build great websites, I think they’re mistaken. You can use Claude, Base44, Lovable, or any other tool that works for you.

When someone replies interested, I call them and say, “Hey, I saw that you replied to my email. I’ve already built you a free draft of your website. Do you want to take a look?”

Then I invite them to a Google Meet.

At that point, it becomes much harder for them to reject the meeting because they already replied interested and now know you’ve built something for them. During the meeting, I present the website, explain why it’s better than their current one, stack the value, answer their questions, and try to close the deal.

These meetings usually go well because the client isn’t trying to imagine what the website might look like. They can already see a better version of their current site. They also took the time to join the meeting, so taking the next step becomes much easier.

I either take payment during the meeting or send them a contract to sign. Any changes and updates come after that, once we already have a deal in place.

Pricing depends on the business. I charge anywhere from $500 to $3,000 depending on the company, the size of the project, and how much value the website can bring them. I also charge a monthly retainer of around $50 for hosting, maintenance, support, SEO, and future changes.

That’s basically the entire process. Smaller steps, faster delivery, less wasted time, and more money made.

Early-stage solo founder looking for an honest reality check, not applause.

A framing I can't shake (treat it as an analogy): a pretrained LLM is basically a "cortex" that read the whole internet, but it has no "hippocampus," the fast, company-specific memory of how your team actually does things. Dropped into a company it improvises, and improvised automation fails in production. The real procedure was never in the doc anyway. It lives in your team's conversations, a few people's heads, and one exception everyone copies.

The idea I'm testing: connect read-only to the communication and document tools a team already uses, mine how work actually happens (including the exceptions nobody wrote down), and consolidate the recurring ones into cited, human-approved, versioned "skills" your existing agents could run, with a human sign-off on anything sensitive. It is not search over your docs, and it is not another agent platform.

Honest status: very early, still validating the problem. No exaggerated claims here, no shipped metrics to show yet. If allowed I can share the private-beta link?

What I actually want to know:

• Does this solve a real, repeated, painful problem for you, or is it a nice-to-have?
• What is the first thing that would make you distrust it?
• Would read-only access to your team's conversations and documents be a dealbreaker?

Tear it apart, that is why I'm here.

The AI automation we depend on every day is nothing fancy.

We receive messages on various platforms and it was taking too much time to respond manually to everyone. So we created an AI-powered reply automation that answers common questions, responds on the spot, and forwards only important conversations to our team.

It saves us hours each day, keeps response times quick, and allows us to focus on work that really needs a human touch.

We don’t even think of it as AI anymore at this point, it’s just baked into our workflow.

What’s one AI automation your business uses daily that you’d hate to go without?

How many full games can I build in a month using Claude Pro? I am thinking of making a simple game like Balatro or Geometry Dash.

Hoping someone can recommend a tool where I can upload pre-recorded audio files (originally recorded on iphone, will upload from laptop), and generate a transcript separated/marked by speaker.

It also needs to be able to accept large files (as I am not allowed to chop the audio up).

I checked about 5 of them, and they don't accept uploaded audio, or my files are too large. Thanks for any help.

Today an AI agent trying to browse the web is like a thief in a balaclava sneaking around a police academy. Site protections block it, challenge it, turn it away.

browser-search flips the script: your agent stops being the thief and becomes the chief of police. No more clumsy access attempts. It walks through every door because it has the right tools. SearXNG for search, Camofox for browsing, CloakBrowser when things get tough.

100% self-hosted, free, no limits, no API keys.

I just released v2.0, whose core logic enforces the exclusive use of deterministic scripts. This eliminates model hallucinations, even with the cheapest models. The skill describes the 3 tools in natural language, but execution is rigid: the model can neither get the command wrong nor misinterpret the output. The result is guaranteed success on every query — the skill and deterministic scripts guide the model to scour the web until it finds the answer.

No more excuses. Your agent has the badge now.
