... integrations that broke. Checking outputs because you're not sure what the tool actually did. I hit this wall about six months ago. I had five AI tools that were each good at one thing, and I was the glue holding them together. The admin of managing the stack had become its own job. The thing that shifted it for me wasn't switching tools. It was getting more selective about which tools were actually grounded in my real context ... ... versus

... Every team building agents rebuilds the same plumbing: a tool layer, a RAG pipeline, connectors to their data, and some orchestration glue to chain prompts together. It's weeks of undifferentiated work before you ship anything a user sees. We are building to be that layer, managed: Tools give your agent capabilities without writing the harness RAG attach a knowledge base, retrieval handled Connectors plug into the systems your agent needs to read and act on Prompt orchestration chain, branch ...

... stack: Zoom for live lessons Google Classroom / Drive for materials A spreadsheet for payments & attendance A separate app (or nothing) for recordings WhatsApp / Telegram for parent comms The teaching itself isn't the hard part it's the glue work between tools. One tutor told me she loses ~5 hours a week to admin that isn't teaching. Curious what the PH community thinks: If you (or someone you know) teaches online, does this match your experience? Have ...

... accountable when it turns out wrong. Curious what is on your list. Is there something you have kept for yourself, or have you handed the whole thing over? Comment from Alper Tayfur(@alpertayfurr): For me, it s still the glue work between apps: moving data, sending follow-ups, updating CRMs, and checking whether something actually ran. That s actually a big part of why I built Awish, you describe the outcome in natural language and it builds the cross ...

... where seeing it live matters more than describing it. Comment from Anuj(@getosmo): Claude is what stays open here too, but the interesting replacement was not another model so much as the old loop of search, docs, and tiny glue-code detours. The place I still do not trust any of them is the same place users stop trusting phone agents: auth, migrations, billing, identity, anything that changes state with a blast radius. Once a tool is good, the real ...

... created, rescheduled, or cancelled. Deliveries retry when an endpoint is temporarily unavailable, and Account > Webhooks lets you send a test event and review delivery attempts. It is a small feature, but it can cut down on manual glue when you need to update a CRM, start a workflow, or keep an internal system in sync. If you use Retime and webhooks, I would like to hear which booking events or payload fields you need most ...

... side: does the $10k credit apply to actual usage costs, or is it a voucher with typical restrictions (can't stack discounts, expires in 90 days, etc.)? Makes a real difference for someone deciding whether to build something experimental vs. something they'd actually want to run in production. Comment from Alex Goretoy(@alex_goretoy): Ooh nice! I'm working on launching https://ajsondb.com an open-source database. AJSONDB is an open-source database engine being built around JSON ... ... because it hints at where builders are going to be spending most of their time next. What I care about most is whether tighter OpenAI integration helps founders ship faster without adding another dependency headache. If it reduces glue

The routing part is coming next, send each submission to multiple destinations simultaneously based on rules you define. No Zapier, no glue code. Free tier: 1,000 submissions/month, unlimited forms, dashboard included.

... made them succeed or fail? For those who've sold into small/mid-sized businesses, what's usually the biggest blocker to adoption price, integration effort, or something else? Is there a feature here that seems like a "nice to have" versus something that would actually change behavior? Would appreciate any perspective, whether from experience building similar things or just as someone who's dealt with this as a customer or business owner. Comment from Tommy Kang(@sjtkang): What I'm building ... ... about self-hosting tend to be sticky and willing to pay for the peace of mind. Just make sure the UX doesn't feel like a downgrade from what they're used to, that's where most self-hosted alternatives

... beat commissioning 'messy' ones guard that line, it's the one thing a 10-tools listicle can't fake. 2) Index by the WALL, not the tool. I don't want 'Cursor clips,' I want 'watch someone debug the glue between two AI components' or 'someone deciding which model to drop in.' People arrive with a problem, not a tool name organizing by the failure/decision is what nobody else does. 3) Make 'what they threw away' a first-class thing ... ... Henry(@daniel_henry4): Do you think the real gap is access to tools, or lack of seeing how experienced people debug them in real time? Comment from Debra Salt(@debra_salt): I relate to this a lot.

... exactly everyone's already solved this badly with their own custom ntfy/Pushover hacks, but nobody wants to maintain that glue across Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. Are you currently running any custom notification scripts yourself, or still in the manual terminal-watching phase? Trying to gauge how many people have already duct-taped a solution vs

... figure out what to do next. To get good work out of them, I'm the one feeding them all the context. Notice the pattern? In every case, I'm the brain and the glue. The tool waits, I think. The tool executes, I carry the context between GitHub, the App Store, analytics, Slack, Notion... It's powerful, but it's reactive I'm stuck doing the part that actually drains me. So my team is building something to flip ...

... need to talk to each other, things break in ways that unit tests don't catch. That's where I still end up debugging manually, which kinda defeats the speed advantage. Anyone found a good workflow for testing the "glue" between components? Comment from Danny Heng(@dannyheng): We've started using agents to test agents, which sounds recursive but works well for unit and integration tests. The limiting factor isn't the test-writing it's when tests need ...

None of those are deployment exactly but they're deployment-adjacent. Vercel's part is solved; the surrounding integration glue is where I lose hours. Quick question on Helipod, do local payments mean you handle the merchant-of-record side too, or is that still a separate setup?

The tool is really the glue between the analyst/stakeholder and the data. This feature is coming up in KMDS - next week or so. TSEDA is integrated with KMDS. Appreciate the input.

... builder. It can be the engineer working alongside you on whichever stack you trust to scale post-PMF. The lock-in concern @shyunbill raised is real. Stitched tools = own each integration outright = pay for your own glue. All-in-one = faster start but the "can I export clean code if this goes well?" anxiety doesn't go away with marketing copy. For me the real bottleneck wasn't tool choice. It was figuring out where my users actually were after ...

... Most teams building with generative media don t realize this yet: They re not building products. They re building glue code between unstable systems . Every model = different API Every provider = different behavior Every outage = your problem This doesn t scale. We built BabySea to fix this at the infrastructure level. Not another wrapper. Not another SDK. An inference infrastructure for generative media . Instead of choosing a model or provider You define how your workload should run : Route across multiple providers ...

... close, where the demo works, but the real workflow still needs a human holding it together. Comment from Hassan Ismail Rebe(@hassan_ismail_rebe): That last mile of work is usually where systems quietly turn back into human glue. Would be interesting to see what you re building this is exactly where most workflow tools still break in practice. Comment from nandini(@nandinibytes): What stood out to me is how much still depends on someone staying on top of things ...

... latency models, and fragmented APIs. Today, we re changing that. We ve built a way to configure and deploy production-grade voice agents directly from your IDE (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) using the Model Context Protocol. No more manual glue - just one prompt to connect your model, pick a voice, and get a live phone number. We d love your feedback on the launch today: Does an IDE-native workflow for voice actually save you time? What ...
