Meeting Purpose
A casual sync on recent AI projects and development challenges.
Key Takeaways
AOE API Meter: Patrick demoed a custom dashboard tracking API spend (Claude, GitHub, etc.) with predictive alerts for budget overages, enabling proactive cost management.
AI Training Pipeline: Patrick is building a pipeline to auto-generate training videos from changelogs, but corporate liability rules force a switch from flexible resellers (e.g., WaveSpeed) to hyperscalers (Google, Azure).
Callsitter App: Ty demoed Callsitter, a new app that waits on hold for users, inspired by a 3h 46m call. It charges $0.10/min (min. $2.49, max. $8.99) after a 15-minute wait.
Community Brain: Patrick rebuilt the meeting recap tool in-house, replacing N8N to gain full control over the multi-model pipeline and reduce processing time to ~15 minutes.
Topics
Corporate AI Adoption: Liability vs. Flexibility
Problem: Corporate AI adoption is blocked by liability concerns, forcing a trade-off between model flexibility and legal safety.
Patrick's Use Case: An automated pipeline for generating training videos.
Goal: Watch product changelogs → auto-update training materials.
Initial Stack: WaveSpeed, 11Labs, OpenRouter.
Blocker: Corporate policy prohibits resellers due to liability gaps (e.g., WaveSpeed's $100 liability cap).
Solution: Switch to hyperscalers (Google, Azure) that sign liability papers.
New Stack: Azure OpenAI (image), Google Gemini (video), 11Labs (voice).
Constraint: Models must be General Availability (GA), not pre-release, further limiting options.
AI-Powered Media Generation
Juan's Project: AI Boot Studio, a photo booth generating 3D avatars.
Core Tech: Minimax H3 model with a 360 Orbit LoRA from HuggingFace.
Process: Single photo → background removal → 3D avatar video.
Goal: Build a custom API pipeline to chain models (background removal, LoRA, upscaling) for a robust, production-ready system.
Ty's Suggestion: Enhance the 3D avatar by adding dynamic actions (e.g., dancing) to create a more engaging, upsellable product.
Custom Dev Tools
AOE API Meter: Patrick's custom dashboard for tracking API consumption.
Providers: Claude, GitHub, OpenRouter, Firecrawl, Tavily, etc.
Features:
Predictive alerts for budget overages.
Per-key, per-model usage breakdown (where provider API allows).
YAML-based provider configuration for easy expansion.
Callsitter: Ty's new app to automate waiting on hold.
Trigger: A 3h 46m call to a bank.
Function: Calls a business, waits on hold, and calls the user back when an agent answers.
Pricing: $0.10/min, with a 15-min minimum ($2.49) and $8.99 max.
Community Brain: Patrick's in-house meeting recap pipeline.
Tech: Rebuilt from N8N to gain full control.
Process: Fathom transcript → subject-based chunking → summary generation.
Vector DB: Uses LensDB, a portable file-based format, to simplify sharing the knowledge base.
Next Steps
Patrick:
Investigate WaveSpeed's billing API for per-model usage data.
Open-source the Community Brain pipeline.
Juan:
Continue building the custom API pipeline for AI Boot Studio.
Ty:
Refine Callsitter's agent handoff and callback logic.
