I was inspired to write this because I find that it’s (understandably) rare that people open up about their struggles when talking about their startups and I’ve really appreciated it in the past, so I wanted to share a bit of my journey in return.

Sounds like you may want an MCP server for your Rails API instead of connecting directly to db.

This seems like a strangely cynical or naive perspective that just reinforces the anti-realtor messaging you think is injected by commenters. >50% of buyer agents are engaged through either referrals or repeat business. Are you not intending to use referrals as a customer acquisition channel?

Fair enough, and I wish you luck because I welcome down pressure on existing fees. My take is simply that the positioning seems to unnecessarily make it a fight against all buyer agents, whereas it might be better to start by targeting the buyers who already "get it".

Also, a huge percentage of deal volume comes from referrals. Successful realtors don't become so without thinking long-term.

I am not defending the realtor fees here. The free market should decide what is worth to anyone. My take is simply that an AI realtor doesn't do all that a (good) human one does.

I think it’s a bit misguided in the pitch by too boldly trying to replace all buyer agents. A lot of what realtors offer, especially to first time buyers (~1/3), is emotional support and confidence/security for making the biggest financial decision in their lives. I don't believe an AI isn’t going to be able to do that. But if you’re a second+ time buyer, then I think it makes more sense.

Very useful, thanks!

Most of their music stations are commercial-free. The news/talk/entertainment/etc stations have tons of commercials, so perhaps it just averages out to 13 minutes/channel.

I don't have a dog in this race nor was it meant as flamebait. Just pointing out that ever increasing sales of iPhones make me doubt that they're becoming "increasingly irrelevant". Analysts may think that Apple should've sold more, but they also sold more than they've ever sold in a single quarter.

"increasingly irrelevant phones" that somehow keep selling more every year.

Latest report in the Russian news. Non-speakers will have to use the crappy English cc. She's still out there and seems to be doing well. She now has a neighbor whom she visits once a week to listen to the radio.
