askai VS magic

A while back, I wrote a simple CLI-wrapper around OpenAI's API that I'm using daily (https://github.com/maxvfischer/askai). I use it as an addition to Stackoverflow to ask quick programming-related question straight in the terminal.

As an AI chatbot provider, we need some serious bot protection to prevent malicious users from creating bots that attacks us. Google reCAPTCHA of course is "the industry standard" here, which I'm sure most readers are aware of.

I just swapped out Google Analytics with Plausible for AINIRO.IO. It’s only been a week, but so far I am super jazzed about it. First of all, Plausible doesn’t use cookies, so I can completely drop all cookie disclaimers and popups I had because of GDPR. Second of all, the site scores significantly better on load time. This results in a 10x better user experience for my website visitors, while making sure the website is still 100% conforming to GDPR laws.

After having owned an AI chatbot company for more than a year, I finally did what I'm supposed to do before I even start a company; I did a Competitor analysis - And o'boy should I have done it earlier.

We've got an AI chatbot for instance. On every single neutral parameter it's 10,000 times better than 99.99% of everything else out there. However, at ProductHunt you will have to go to "page 11,670" before you'll find our AI chatbot.

In addition I've got zero contributions to my primary projects. Some guy contributed to Lizzie a couple of years ago, but my primary project has zero contributions. Notice, I happen to know for a fact that there are a whole range of really, really, really rich companies using Magic for instance, some of whom are cashing in millions of dollars in profit every single year.

In addition Magic Cloud has now become a real business model, with a quite substantial amount of revenue, through our AI and Low-Code hosting provider. So to avoid having leeches exploiting our work for free without contributing in any ways, it's therefor with heavy heart we announce that all future releases of Magic will be in the form of closed source distributions.

I have an open source project myself, and I am building an AI and Low-Code/No-Code platform company on top of it. Contrary to SupaBase though, I have spent 4 years creating real value in my platform. The project solves a real problem, it consists of a lot of real innovations, and I’ve spent a lot of time building it.

Warning - This is not going to make any sense for anyone reading this, including me, so I won't try to make any sense of it - I'll let the reader interpret it in whatever way the reader wants to interpret it. However, when you're building an open source platform, such as our Magic Clouc, the first thing investors will ask you about is how many users you have.

When the article was published, it rapidly broke all records, and became the 5th most read article Microsoft had ever published. Today the article is a bit dated, and if you're interested in learning Hyperlambda, you're much better off reading its official documentation.
