After 13 days, I learned that "private AI letters" was too broad to create a clear first action.
I did not turn PrivMuse into an AI companion or therapy bot. I narrowed the entry point to one concrete moment: you have a difficult relationship message after silence, conflict, or mixed signals, and you want to know what could go wrong before sending it.
Let's talk about something nobody in the proxy industry likes to discuss: how easy it is to blow your budget on proxies without even realizing it.
We've been there. Early on, our proxy bill was growing faster than our actual usage, and we couldn't figure out why. After auditing everything and making some changes, we cut costs by roughly 40% while keeping success rates steady. Here's what actually worked:
1. Pick the right pricing model for your usage pattern
If your traffic is spiky and unpredictable (project-based research, periodic audits), pay-as-you-go will almost always be cheaper than a fixed monthly plan. But if you're running steady 24/7 automation, a committed tier usually wins. We were on monthly plans for everything switching our variable workloads to usage-based pricing saved us the most money by far.
I m helping with ProofWrite AI, a web-based writing tool that helps users turn AI-assisted drafts into clearer, more natural-sounding content while preserving the original meaning.
I ve been building a social site called WhispSocio and I m at the awkward bit now: the site works, but it needs real people using it before I can properly see what s good, bad, or confusing.
It s a UK-based social platform with profiles, posts, live streams, replays, hashtags, marketplace tools, and creator/community features. The long-term idea is to give creators and communities somewhere they can post, stream, sell, and build a profile without everything being scattered across five different platforms.
I m not looking for fake hype or people to sign up and disappear. I m looking for a small number of early users who don t mind poking around, making a profile, posting a bit, and telling me honestly what feels off.
Early testers get a Beta Badge on their profile, and I ll be adding extra perks for those users as the platform grows.
Almost every knowledge-work domain now has a decent tool. Harvey and Legora for legal. Rogo for finance. All decent and all narrow and not accessible to everyone.
Coding has something the rest of knowledge work doesn't: harnesses. Cursor CLI, OpenCode, Codex, Claude Code general-purpose agents that turn a model into a real force multiplier.
So where's the equivalent for everyone else? Why is there no publicly available harness that's a genuine upgrade over Claude Code or Codex for the deliverables professionals actually ship Excel models, research reports, decks, PDFs?
I ve always loved the beauty of classical Chinese poetry, but it s hard for most people to write their own. So I built a small tool called PoemForTwo you share a story about you and your partner, and the AI generates a personalised bilingual poem in a classical style.
The toughest part right now is balancing rhythm and emotional authenticity making the output feel genuinely poetic, not just robotic. I ve tried several prompt engineering approaches and the current version is decent, but I know it can be better.
