But again, it's very far from being a simple serverless micro server that scales infinitely and is super easy to use.
I think AI is even worse than drugs. On the one hand, it has some elements of a slot machine (when you have irregular success with the process, it creates a more powerful cycle of dopamine release on success). On the other hand, it makes work easier, and humans are just wired to choose the easier road. It's like walking or driving a car when you have to travel 10 miles each day. I don't see how, on a civilization scale, AI won't transform our civilization for better or worse.
And if this already happened at least once, how many times it has already happened and was “accidentally” added to the main model?

This cache it improvement makes the model x2-x2.5 more efficient on a long horizon tasks in terms of cost.I just ran two light tasks on my codebase and got 100% of the weekly limits of a Pro plan blown away. Is Ultra plan any different? Because on Codex it wouldn't affect my Max plan at all, I think it would have been below 1% othese usage.
I started Ottex nine months ago with the idea that models will get to the point that they will overcome VC-funded startups, and I think it just happened. So yeah, I got a little bit overexcited...
I'm currently building a personal knowledge graph server a mix of Notion's custom entities via JSON schema and Obsidian markdown+backlinked references. It's working well, but I suspect your product might be a better fit.
I do have one question regarding permissions: how would you recommend modeling a hierarchical access system in a graph database? Specifically, if a user is granted access to a document, they should automatically have access to all its child documents within that workspace. Is there a standard way to model this 'subtree' permission logic, or perhaps a more efficient approach you'd suggest?
Really impressed with the product good luck with it!
I use platinum 3776, it's quite expensive one, but it's just amazing. I originally bought it for sketches, but ended up using it for journaling.
Ended up buying one to my wife, she said I'm crazy to spend so much on a pen (200$) but few weeks after the gift she said that it's amazing and she enjoys it a lot.
I started ottex half a year ago after I tested gemini 2.5 flash native audio support. I was blown away by the quality of transcripts and decided to built an app to use it myself.
Currently the default model in the app is Gemini 3 flash, but you can connect to 9 providers and God knows how many models to play with.
I would suggest you to try this models for ai prompting:
- Gemini 3 / 3.5 flash - Soniox rtt v5 - Mistral transcribe v2 - assembly 3.5 pro
It looks like Anthropic baiting people into Max subscriptions before turning the model off. No thank you.

I also created a guardrails library (inspired by Java's ArchUnit) to prevent code rot - https://github.com/ksanderer/goarch. It helps enforce code standards, decouple the codebase, prevent cross-module imports and crashes builds with concise error messages for agents to fix problems early, very nice experience
Think wisprflow + granola with 30+ top STT models under single login and pay as you go billing model with 25% markup over API.
I wanted to star the project to track the progress but it feels a bit weird.. Which repo shall I track? Server? Cli? Sounds like a misc repos.
One thing I'm confused with is how to create a shared resources like e.g. a redis server and connect to it from other vms? It looks now quite cumbersome to setup tailscale or connect via ssh between VMS. Also what about egress? My guess is that all traffic billed at 0.07$ per GB. It looks like this cloud is made to run statefull agents and personal isolated projects and distributed systems or horizontal scaling isn't a good fit for it?
Also I'm curious why not railway like billing per resource utilization pricing model? It’s very convenient and I would argue is made for agents era.
I did setup for my friends and family a railway project that spawns a vm with disk (statefull service) via a tg bot and runs an openclaw like agent - it costs me something like 2$ to run 9 vms like this.
