has anyone tried mem0, memsync, letta, or supermemory for managing context bloat? we were considering one of these for @basic_db

i dug into them and put together my findings! would love to learn if my comparison is wrong

[Basic @basic_db]

a haiku? this early in the morning??

[Abhi @abhicvk]

working on something new...

[Abhi @abhicvk]

🥇first place won by @bvsbharat for dripdrop (a slightly creepy but doing-his-best shopping AI voice + video assistant)

🥈second place won by liz for liz (auto-blocks posts on twitter based on keywords. she was so confident she’d win, that she took a nap half way through the hackathon)

🥉third place won by @mohamedsobhi777 for Grandpal (stalks your computer screen if you're elderly and summarizes your problems for you)

[Abhi @abhicvk]

other projects:
- feelflow by @saishmungase: audio agent to track mood (in case you don’t know how you’re feeling)

- tutor by @michaelfromyeg: AI whiteboard for students (why cheat undetected with @cluely when you can just cheat in front of everybody)

- 0xkafkaa by @0xkafkaa: voice controlled terminal (now you can immersively yell at your code when it doesn’t work)

- fixer by @enock_arth3: headless AI repair agent (to get your grandparents off your back about fixing their devices)

[Abhi @abhicvk]

in all seriousness, these were some of the smartest folks i’ve seen build some of the coolest projects ever, and nothing makes me happier than bringing amazing people together from across the world to build really creative tech

huge thank you and shoutout to all the judges, and @Georgia_Reilly_ for organizing this with me. huge thanks again to @windsurf_ai, @codebuffAI, and https://t.co/1aE8K4Qs93 for co-sponsoring this event.

[Abhi @abhicvk]

Vibes are immaculate with the boo @RazberryChai at the @basic_db hackathon 👀

[Basic @basic_db]

[Abhi @abhicvk]

i promised @windsurf_ai that i'll only accept 100 people for tomorrow's $1000 hack to build NO UIs... but we're filled up 😞

comment below why i should just let you in anyways

[Basic @basic_db]

i swear i'll scream if someone builds "liquid glass"

[Abhi @abhicvk]

we’re giving out ten hundo if you DONT BUILD UIs

[Basic @basic_db]

Come imagine the new internet with us!

[Razberry @RazberryChai]

UIs are dying.
Buttons, dropdowns, dashboards — all getting replaced.

Agents are the new interface.
So what does the internet look like when we stop building screens?
