Of course everything looks bad with 20/20 hindsight. it's better than 90% of AI slop products out there right now.

This was back when agents were referred to as NLP generative chatbots lol, and I can guarantee you at a minimum the devs knew how to properly handle something as simple as say connection pooling, whereas most slop products these days are just an absolute shitshow behind the scenes.

the classic defense of every failed product... "trust me, the plumbing was solid." users don't care. they saw a creepy AI face and closed the tab. you're essentially arguing that the titanic had excellent rivets.

wtf even is this. Another wannabe AI SaaS product, your arguments sounds like any other YC founder who drank way too much VC cool aid.

I think you mean kool-aid, which refers to the well known American fruit-flavored drink mix brand. "Cool aid" on the other hand is completely nonsensical.
