    1. I built a voice agent that calls people who started a signup and never finished, and walks them through completing it, in their own language. Here's how it works and a real call it closed.
    2. I made a harness designed around corporate finance / M&A - feedback greatly appreciated

    1. Be very FR - would someone (or you) pay a virtual AI assitant? should I build this? It can read emails, reschedule your whole week, manage your calls, and improve as it is used more.

    1. I built an open-source Desktop App that gives AI agents persistent memory (MCP Server + Chrome Extension sharing a local SQLite WAL database)
    2. Every guru is selling AI agents for small business. Nobody talks about why most get abandoned after 3 months.
    3. Am I the only one routing messages between my own agents manually?
