I make vaporware that doesnt do shit reliably and this chinese crap spouts plausible demos and spam calls more cheaply than the competition saaar

Well, it's much more than that. In general everybody's building agents now. You see these things that can help you to do things like adding things like OCR an appointment from a picture of a hand-written paper and add it to your calendar, search things from the internet, find that email with a PDF and add it to your local paperless instance.

Building an agent like this by yourself is really easy. Now, we have Gemini's subscription, OpenAI's ChatGPT subscription and all those, 20 bucks a month right?

What if you can spend that 20 bucks in tokens to do your own. And you pay 15 bucks _a year_ in tokens to run that? And you own the data, you own your code and integrations. It's really easy to do, and these flash models are _more than enough_ for simple agentic tasks.
