how do you go about getting a license in a week to place those types of coverages in various states/contries? Are you a broke or MGA or something else?

What agent setups have you found to work best? Any difference between giving my OpenClaw agent or Claude Code access?

A bit more context in case anyone is curious:

This project originally came from a trip to Korea where I learned about personal color analysis. The in-person sessions are interesting but often cost a few hundred dollars, so I wrote down the idea years ago of trying to approximate it with software.

I finally built a quick version as a learning project.

There’s nothing particularly sophisticated happening under the hood. The goal was mostly to get more comfortable working with modern AI tooling and to practice shipping small things again after a long stretch working inside a startup.

If anyone experiments with it, I’d be especially interested in:

• cases where the color analysis is clearly wrong • UX things that feel confusing or clunky • obvious technical improvements • or just general thoughts on whether the idea is interesting at all

Appreciate any feedback!

I wondered if it was possible to approximate...

If the agent builds entity pages incrementally while reading, how do you prevent early incorrect assumptions about relationships or attributes from propagating through the entity graph? Is there support for belief revision?

if you have any paperwork related to your installation we would love to see it. The standard installation pack (diagrams, blueprints, system info, tech specs, etc...) is what we are most interested in. You can drop anything you are comfortable sharing here: https://driveuploader.com/upload/UdA5Ev9YFP/
