Having tried this a bit I do really like the single api call for all of it.

I also appreciate transparent pricing but I am not 100% sure the sense of scale of costs. It could be helpful to give some ballparks on things for each of the plans. I'm not sure exactly what i could get out of a plan. My guess, trying hard to figure it out, was if i had about 1,000 pages of new/updated content per month, I would pay $295/month for unlimited queries on top of it. Is that roughly correct?


Yes, we don't charge for queries. For $295, you're able to index up to 1000 pages of new content per month into a fully queryable pipeline.

Advanced and Basic do play a difference though. Advanced is for complex graphics or charts in the documents submitted. Basic is sufficient for most document workloads.


I think to the extent they are making a speed v quality tradeoff, I think they are making the right call. 10x speed over quality any day for me. Reminds me of:

"If brute force doesn't work, you aren't using enough of it." - Isaac Arthur


Everyone is making this tradeoff now. Surely nothing bad could come from it.

In the meantime I can’t even continue a Claude Code session I started on desktop on my phone. What’s the point of shipping a billion features of they are all half baked?


Everyone is NOT making that tradeoff. Maybe we will be forced into it someday, but my team is leveraging AI to increase the quality of code far beyond what we would have done without it. Some of us are using it to engineer better solutions.

Example: we are putting a lot of energy into removing technical debt, reorganizing the code to remove unneeded abstraction and complexity, and creating missing tests and automation. We're not just burping out new untested and poorly reviewed functionality.


It’s a phase, for sure things will turn around in the future once the hype of “oh we can now ship fast” is gone.

fwiw I’ve had this open source browser ui that sits on top of your claude code, gemini and codex and picks up/starts your sessions from any device https://github.com/siteboon/claudecodeui


the point is VC money

I like that it lets you specify the types of accepted docs. The biggest issue i have with Stripe identity verification product right now. And biometric re-log in is also great. Will check it out.

Yes! thanks! anything let us know

Red light running is bad...but I think the solution to this problem at this point is just "self driving cars". With some exceptions, I would just focus all jurisdictions on this future and avoid policy inline with a world full of self driving cars. Currently in the US, most places feel like you need a car, and many US laws are designed with this in mind. In 5 years, this will no longer be true, so laws should reflect:

1. No parking minimums 2. Less free parking (e.g. street parking) 3. Policy supportive of self driving cars 4. More aggressive removal of driver licenses for human drivers with repeat violations 5. More aggressive penalties for driving without a license.


Most people like to drive and don't share your views, and it will be that way in five years too.

I’m skeptical.

The average cost of car ownership is $0.69 per mile without insurance, $0.25 per mile to store it, and $0.49 per mile in societal costs (death, injuries, delays due to accidents). So about $1.43 per mile. I do not enjoy driving, so would add more cost per mile, maybe some would want to pay more but I do t see that much joyriding outside of teenagers and classic car enthusiasts, so I don’t think those that do it for pleasure is a large population.

Tesla cybercab is targeting $0.20 per mile. Waymo projections are $0.40 per mile by 2030. Assuming both hit $0.50 and are twice as safe, this is basically $0.75 per mile.

I don’t see may paying more to drive themselves. And I think as society there will be non economic reasons human driven cars get banned. Like MADD but for human cars.

So I expect 5 years and human cars will not make sense in many cases, 10 years new human car sales to be <50% current levels, 15 years you start seeing bans. 20 years bans common.


I like to drive. I support taking asshole drivers' licenses. They ruin my driving experience.

Conductor (mac app) does some of this, might want to take a look.


These responses to AI seems to be from people who have not experienced what AI can do, and are therefore skeptical.

But I have personally repeatedly used AI instead of humans across domains.

AI displacement isn’t a prediction. It’s here.


The original seems to be arguing, among other things, that the singularity has begun because AI has been employed to improve AI development tooling. I can see it both ways, but skepticism on these claims is natural and warranted. I agree with you that there's no shortage of people underestimating the importance of this moment in history.


But the whole reason it's called "the singularity" is because the "AI" improving itself is supposed to already be smarter than us, and better able to make those improvements. Thus, improvement builds on itself exponentially and we very quickly see massive changes, leading to huge new advances in science and technology.

It's not a singularity if we just get LLMs spitting out code to improve LLMs that's approximately what we could have done, just 40% faster and with 50% more bugs.


Yeah. We aren't there.


Hey, my 9 year old son uses modelrift for creating things for his 3d printer, its great! Product feedback: 1. You should probably ask me to pay now, I feel like i've used it enough. 2. You need a main dashboard page with a history of sessions. He thought he lost a file and I had to dig in the billing history to get a UUID I thought was it and generate the url. I would say naming sessions is important, and could be done with small LLM after the users initial prompt. 3. I don't think I like the default 3d model in there once I have done something, blank would be better.

We download the stl and import to bambu. Works pretty well. A direct push would be nice, but not necessary.


Thank you for this feedback, very valuable! I am using Bambu as well - perfect to get things printed without much hassle. Not sure if direct push to printer is possible though, as their ecosystem looks pretty closed. It would be a perfect use case - if we could use ModelRift to design a model on a mobile phone and push to print..


proper sessions page is live: https://modelrift.com/changelog/v0-3-2

let me know how it goes!


getting this error trying to connect github: github_unauthorized: GitHub OAuth error: The redirect_uri MUST match the registered callback URL for this application.


Looking into this, will fix this soon! GitHub auth should be working on the web app, if you try there (assuming you got this error on mobile). You can continue to use Omnara normally without signing into GitHub, you just won't be able to use the cloud syncning feature til you auth with GitHub.


Just fixed this issue! Seemed to occur on web, thanks for reporting this!


This is cool, but they mentioned affordability, and said this is about $1/hour to run, which is about what I pay for claude code on $200/mo plan. This is not literally true, sometimes I'm running up to 3 concurrent intermittently throughout the day for maybe 60 hours per week.

So I do believe if there is something that comes up that is literally continuous, would be interesting, but I'm not sure about it right now. I would be curious if anyone has anything they would literally use running 24/7.


This is cool! A couple of pieces of feedback as I am looking for something in this family of things but haven't found the perfect fit: 1. I have multiple inboxes, and want to have them work on multiple. 2. I would really like to have skills and mcps visible and understandable. Craft Agents does a nice job of segmenting by workspace and making skills and mcps all visible so I can understand what exactly my agent is set up to do (no black boxes). 3. I want scheduled runs. I don't need push, I actually kind of prefer just the reliability of scheduled, but push would be fine too. In particular, I want to: a. After each granola meeting save in obsidian (I did this in Craft Code for example, but I prefer your more built in approach here, this is nice). b. On intervals, check my emails. I want to give it information on who/what is important to me, and ping me. E.g. billing on Anthropic failed, ping me. c. I also want it to email back and forth to schedule with approved categories of things on request. Just get it on my calendar (share calendly, send times, etc). d. I want junk etc archived. e. For important things, update my knowledge graph (ignore spam, etc). 4. Tying into a to-do list that actually updates based on priorities, and suggests auto archiving things etc would be good.

In practice, i connected gmail and asked it: "can you archive emails that have an unsubscribe link in them (that are not currently archived)?" and it got stuck on "I'll check what MCP tools are available for email operations first." But i connected gmail through your interface, and I don't see in settings anything about it also having configured the mcp? I also looked at the knowledge graph and it had 20 entities, NONE of which I had any idea what they were. I'm guessing its just putting in people trying to spam me into the contacts? It didn't finish running, but I didn't want to burn endless tokens trying to see if it would find actual people i care about, so I shut it down. One "proxy" for "people i care about" might be "people I send emails to"? I could see how this is a hard problem. I also think regardless I want things more transparent. So for the moment, I'm sticking with Craft Code for this even though it is missing some major things but at least its more clear what it is: its claude code, with a nice UI.

Hope this was helpful. I know there are multiple people working on things in this family, and I will probably be "largely solved" by the end of 2026, and then we will want it to do the next thing! Good luck, I will watch for updates and these are some nice ideas!


Really appreciate the detailed feedback. There are bunch of great features that you are pointing out that are on our roadmap (will add whats missing). The agent can setup tasks on schedule and help manage them. You can try a prompt like 'Can you schedule a background task xyz to run every morning ...'. The background tasks would show up on the UI once it is scheduled by the assistant. However, you might have to connect the necessary MCP tools in your case.

On Gmail actions - we currently don’t take write actions on inboxes like archiving or categorizing emails. The Google connection is read-only and used purely to build the knowledge graph. We’re working on adding write actions, but we’re being careful about how we implement them. Also probably why the agent was confused and was looking for an MCP to accomplish the same job.

On noise in the knowledge graph — this is something we’re actively tuning. We currently have different note-strictness levels that auto-inferred based on the inbox volume (configurable in ~/.rowboat/config/note-creation.json) that control what qualifies as a new node. Higher strictness prevents most emails from creating new entities and instead only updates existing ones. That said, this needs to be surfaced in the product and better calibrated. Using “people I send emails to” as a proxy for importance is a really good idea.


I'm really working towards getting something similar to work. Lots of bug fixing for now. Any help is appreciated if interested.
