Imagine an AI agent that is much better than ChatGPT at one specific task because someone spent months building and improving it.

Would you rather:

Hire the creator every time you need the work done?

Rent the agent and use it yourself?

What would stop you from renting it?

I'm especially interested in hearing from people who already build AI agents.

I want buy a ai subscription . But i am afraid to choose wrong one becuse there are so many ai tools,website . Also paying in dollers is very expensive for me. I have openart.ai in my mind right now . Can you guys suggest me . Thank you

Local AI for Mac Directory (https://bunnysoft.app/local-ai-mac-apps)

Hello friends! As a local LLM enthusiast, I've been very open to ways to increase my local AI usage. Previously, I've tried running local models via Ollama, llama.cpp, or vllm. I've even fine-tuned my own Gemma model

However, I've struggled to truly embrace local AI because I can't find durable use cases other than learning and tinkering. For my bread and butter - coding, I use Codex and Claude because I need to be as productive as possible. For everything else, my usage is so sporadic, I forget the proper llama.cpp launch commands when the time comes around.

With the release of Apple M5 and ultra compact local models more recently, I am becoming more confident about another possibility that we've been collectively sleeping on: the rise of local AI apps - products that package local models, workflows, and UI to serve a narrow purpose well. Apps remove the operational pain disproportionately felt during casual usage, and allow more of us to expand AI usage by covering diverse workflows with AI apps, instead of tokenmaxxing on narrow areas.

I made a directory site to survey the local AI apps landscape, and the results are surprisingly good: there are tons of options in LLM chat, transcription, OCR, Photo editing categories (50+ apps each), and some truly unique use cases such as wardrobe stylists and pet health assistants that I had no idea existed. There are 82 categories currently. Please check this out if you're interested! https://bunnysoft.app/local-ai-mac-apps

Limitations:
- Currently only covers the Mac App Store (since i need a reliable api to get data from)
- Data is collected on 6/24 so super new apps are not included. Planning on doing monthly updates
- If you see an app missing here, please let me know by submitting a nomination form

Methodology
- I scraped 20,435 apps from the app store api (513 search terms, plus crawling profiles of developers who build local AI Apps)
- Narrowed down to 2,259 apps that are actually local AI using deepseek v4 flash as classifier.
- Used a combination of scripts and LLM-as-a-judge for categorization and grading. The ranking rewards fully on-device apps. I've spot checked the big categories but for 2.3k apps there will be misses. If you find something incorrect, please call it out and I will fix it.

Here is the shameless plug: One of the apps on the site is built by me, you can't miss it if you visit the site 😂

Please let me know what you guys think about the future of local AI, apps, or the site 🙏

Hi guys,

My friend and I are trying to start our own project/business and we definitely need help from another experienced developer.

I do not know too much about AI models and tools, but I have read a lot and dedicated a large portion of my time trying to learn prompts/chatters/social engineering/marketing and more, but I am not a coder.

I cannot promise anyone money right now, but I have never felt more ambitious in my life about something and I believe we could pull this off.

Essentially the “business” is creating AI women as companions for mostly men and women of course. I am not looking for a quick money maker, I am looking for longevity and good quality models/products to keep it going.

If you are willing to help I would be very grateful as I am not sure where else to look and I know there is a lot of money to be made in this market.

Currently we have a discord of around 40 people, mainly as a community, which my friend and I have designed. She has designed most of it and is very smart herself and also wants to get in to coding.

If I could offer money to help alongside our current developer I definitely would, but currently right now we can’t.

Anyone is welcome to join the discord, even if you aren’t a coder. We already have models, but they are first drafts which look pretty if I’m honest. We will be hiring a small amount of VA’s. Both SFW and NSFW.

I know it sounds I’m asking for people to work for free, but I know coding is a hard job and we need probably at least two more if we are going to be successful and I don’t want to have wasted any time.

If you are interested please message me on my own private discord which is 677573787801223199 or rewroo and I would be happy to talk. Of course you can message me on here too, but DC would be much easier for me especially if you wanted to VC.

If I have said or done anything wrong within this post I humbly apologise. The same goes for if I have posted in the wrong sub.

Thank you,
Rew (Discord owner)

A client has asked me to look into an Ai platform called soro, the domain is trysoro.com looks like it auto publishes posts, created Your own posts and long form content .. as well as helping you be found in Ai searches like ChatGPT….

In the past I used Chatgpt business off of a shady website to create study guides (pdfs or docx or Latex pdfs) but now it's banned. I need an AI (low-cost or free) to create structured pdf study guides from materials I gathered.

So I need an AI that can create pdf/docx files and send back to me.

Thank you in advance.

Benchmarks and monthly plans with great quota are one thing, but what's the point if some of these AI companies nerf the models, re-route you to cheaper ones in the background or blow your token usage fast on things like cached tokens.

There's too much marketing, what you see is often not what you get.

Having subscribed to a quite a few models over last couple of years (for coding and agentic work) here's my take on which providers are least trustworthy (keep trying to scam you in some way), to most trustworthy (often give you what they say they will). This is in my experience ( I've used all these mostly on monthly plans, some API only) and from what I've read of other people's experience in general.

Least Trustworthy group:

Gemini

Minimax

Medium group (less issues)

GLM

Kimi (unsure of Kimi at the moment)

Claude

More Reliable:

Deepseek

Mimo

Gpt

Qwen
