AI Developer Accelerator — Coaching Call - June 9th
Impromptu Zoom Meeting - June 10
Meeting Purpose
Key Takeaways
- ShipSafe: Ty presented a platform to control AI agents, solving critical issues of runaway costs, security, and authorization for non-reversible actions.
- AI Booth: Juan's AI-powered photo booth is ready for its first event. The strategy is to personally manage the initial deployments to refine operations before hiring.
- Digital Signage: Ryan's retail signage SaaS is scaling, with new remote management features like diagnostics and one-click updates to improve operational efficiency.
- Fable Model: Anthropic's new Fable model is powerful for macro-level tasks but costs 2x Opus tokens. It's free to use until June 22, after which it becomes token-only.
Topics
Anthropic's New Fable Model
- Anthropic released Fable, a new model from the Mythos family.
- Key Characteristics: Cost: 2x token usage of Opus. Availability: Free to use until June 22, then token-only. Use Case: Excels at macro-level tasks (e.g., refactoring an entire app) over micro-level problems.
- Strategy: Use Fable for large projects before the June 22 deadline.
- Note: Security analysis tasks may be redirected to Opus 4.8.
ShipSafe: Taming AI Agents
- Ty presented ShipSafe, a platform to manage AI agents' costs, security, and authorization.
- Problem: Uncontrolled agents lead to runaway costs and security risks.
- Solution: A proxy gateway isolates agents, routing all calls through a central pipeline for control.
- Core Components: Agent Pay: Metered work via 402 protocol, enabling agent monetization and cost control. FaceGate: Native webcam authentication for non-reversible actions (e.g., deleting a database). Agent Audit & Recovery: Full audit trail of agent decisions.
- Feedback: The platform's flexibility is a strength but creates a high barrier to entry. The recommendation is to simplify the value proposition with concrete examples.
AI Booth: From Dev to Deployment
- Juan's AI-powered photo booth (generates original + AI-transformed images) is ready for its first event.
- Deployment Strategy: Juan will personally manage the first 2–3 events. Rationale: To refine the process and create a robust Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) before hiring. Advice: Bring a colleague to observe customer interactions while Juan focuses on technical monitoring.
- Business Model: Initial: Free demos at events to build a portfolio and gain market feedback. Future: B2B SaaS provider for event companies, enabling a franchise-like model.
Digital Signage SaaS: Scaling with Remote Management
- Ryan's retail signage SaaS is scaling (9 screens active, 3 more pending) and now includes remote management features.
- New Features: Diagnostics: Remote access to console logs and a "deep capture" mode for debugging performance degradation. Remote Updates: One-click deployment of software updates with a 2-second screen downtime.
- Business Model: Pricing: £45/month per screen. Goal: Reach 100 screens for a sustainable income.
- Market Strategy: Challenge: Breaking into large chains due to long-term competitor contracts. Opportunity: Paul has contacts in the Australian liquor channel who may need this service.
Next Steps
- Ty: Simplify ShipSafe's value proposition with concrete examples for the homepage.
- Juan: Prepare hardware and content for the first AI Booth event in ~2 weeks.
- Ryan: Email Paul with details on the digital signage SaaS for a potential Australian opportunity.
- All: Experiment with Anthropic's Fable model before the June 22 token-only deadline.
