Fun build, and honestly great for indie hackers and startups watching every pound.

But if you're an established business sitting on years of customer data, ask one thing before you switch: where does my data actually sit?

Because if that cheap tool ever leaks your list, your customers won't blame the app. They'll blame you.

I vibe-coded beehiiv, and it's 83% cheaper.

None of this means don't use AI.

It means spending 10 minutes on those three questions before you connect anything, and writing the answers down.

That's the difference between a risk you've managed and one you just haven't noticed yet.

[Hemanth Vishnu Akula @okamigenshin]

Most UK businesses I speak to are plugging AI tools into customer data without asking where that data goes.

That isn't innovation. It's an unlogged risk.

[Hemanth Vishnu Akula @okamigenshin]

A support call I've had more than once:

"Can you get this AI tool off our system?"

Easy enough. Then: "And delete what it took?"

That's the part nobody can answer, because nobody read the terms before clicking Connect.

@vincenzo_naked @Ashutosh_Sidh That on-prem + MCP combo is a sharp cut. Good luck with Taavik, will keep an eye on it 🙌

Upgraded my 2019 Dell Inspiron 5570 today. 24GB RAM, 512GB SSD. Feels like a new laptop.

Then the fun part: it booted Windows 10 Home. I'd bought a Windows 11 Pro license years ago and had no clue which account it was on.

Asked Grok. It walked me through a few fixes, one was a generic key. Threw an error first, then Windows suddenly picked up my old Pro license.

Saved £119 before breakfast.

@vincenzo_naked @Ashutosh_Sidh Interesting! Keeping the agent inside the network makes a lot of sense. What made you start building Taavik?

[Hemanth Vishnu Akula @okamigenshin]

@Vaibhav_Gareja Sure :)

@soham_nayak04 Next stage is Claude pasting it back to you and praying.

@0xNinjy Argon fits wherever your free credits run out first.

@insider0x Always-on agents is just a fancy way of saying the AI gets a night shift too.

[Hemanth Vishnu Akula @okamigenshin]

@Phunsukwangduji Finally an AI with zero hallucinations.

[Hemanth Vishnu Akula @okamigenshin]

@ScriptedAlchemy Google really launched it like a surprise mixtape.

[Hemanth Vishnu Akula @okamigenshin]

@Im_pritam18 absolutely!

[Hemanth Vishnu Akula @okamigenshin]

@SheetalJaitly Shared workflows also mean shared access, so governance has to scale with it.

@hussaintovo Solo founding with two kids is hard mode. Respect. What's the app?
