Goal: upload Revit/Rhino/SketchUp screenshot → instant pro renders. No prompting/ComfyUI/model hunting—built that intermediate layer, as an ex-architect/render freelancer, to cut render costs/iteration pains.

What access do you give OpenClaw on your VPS? What about email...? There’s a new Claude Code feature that does exactly this—you might want to try it.

Intrigued by OpenClaw agents, but also a bit nervous about the attack surface. Should people be running this on a VM, an old personal computer, or another form of isolation? What are experienced folks actually doing in practice? (I know many just installing everything on their PC...)

As someone running a SaaS with sensitive infra, I’m especially curious about how to structure boundaries between the agent and their real‑world production systems.

What about X?

Solid explanation. For multi-model chains like render pipelines, where do you add critic agents—after each tool call or end-of-loop?

Hi David,

Fran here. I'm building a niche tool for designers and architects to create AI renderings in seconds with no prompting skills, no ComfyUI installs, no chasing the latest Nano-Banana, Flux, or any other GenAI image model. I called it RenderAI. Want to make it simple and fast.

We already have thousands of users, which confirms there is a real need. Still, I’d love to get honest feedback. How can we stand out? Feel free to be blunt.

Check out https://RenderAI.app if you’re curious.
