How Will AI Agents Change Our Investing Habits?

AI agents are already changing how we work. Hard to deny that now.

People are building new habits around digital companions and agents in funny ways.
I even know someone who had a brand-new phone ready, but still delayed switching because their little @OpenClaw lobster was living on the old one.
Many of us now use agents to summarize, draft, search, code, organize tasks, or monitor things in the background.

I think investing is next.

A lot of investing still depends on manual habits: checking prices, reading news, following filings, tracking earnings, reviewing portfolios, and trying not to miss important signals.

Two of us spent weeks building an AI app builder with no credits to sell. Smart or stupid?

Hey PH We're Baptiste & Samuel, and next week we're launching Capacity Desktop a free Mac app that turns plain English into real apps, built and stored on your machine.

The bet everyone tells us is wrong: move away from credits system. You plug in your own Claude / GPT / Open Router key and pay your provider at cost. Our take is that you feel the credits system is unfair, you never know what a failed fix loop just cost you, and you feel the tool profits from your retries.

What’s the first technical decision you lock in when starting a new SaaS product?

For me, I feel like the hardest part isn't choosing between tools like React, Firebase, Railway, etc, it's really deciding which parts of the stack I should commit most of my time and tokens early and which ones may become painful to replace later.

Do you stick with a familiar stack and avoid overthinking it, design around expected scale from day one, let your coding agent influence the architecture, or start with the cheapest setup and migrate later? Also, curious which early technical choice has saved you the most time, and which one you wish you probably shouldn't have overthinked on.
