Cool format & solid tech-stack! Excited to see how you will end up differentiating from other copilots :) Have you tried working with v0 (vercel) for quick frontend work yet?
Not yet! I've tried out a few like Manicode, Cursor and what not, and didn't quite love it. But I'll give it a shot - always looking for better frontend workflows lmao
Oh wow! I really enjoyed this video because I'm in the same boat as you but with less experience. I have a new startup idea, too, so I started learning about ts and other stuff to create my MVP. But one thing I couldn't understand was how to create my team for the startup. I mean, I don't have much money to pay salaries, but I need some members, you know. Do you have any tips for me? Keep posting videos like this. I really appreciate it!
I've heard a lot of mixed things about cofounder matching programs (like YC's) since you'll likely have to meet and trial with a bunch of people before you find someone you mesh with. My cofounders are all close college friends that I've worked with throughout the years, so I would definitely recommend people you've gone through conflict with, are invested in the startup as well, and have complementary skills.
That's a nice tech stack and great video! I am curious why you decided to use FastAPI as I see quite a few new companies that are adopting using FastAPI as opposed to using the other alternatives like Django or Flask. Are there any solid benefits compared to the alternatives like Django or Flask?
They're all pretty good frameworks - for me, since we do have pretty async calls (esp to OpenAI and other 3rd party services), FastAPI does a pretty good job handling that. It's also pretty easy to use in terms of coding (easy to add routes, and have a minimal backend up and running). Maybe we'd use django or some other framework when we grow. But we're able to crank out more functionality with fastapi in a shorter amount of time. I don't have much too much experience with flask, but it seems pretty comparible with FastAPI
@@jakeatgalileo Oh kl, yh that makes sense. I come from a background in typescript, C# so naturally curious to how you guys work with type annotations in Python using FastAPI. Do you find that it's harder to spot bugs with not much intellisense? Would love to hear ya thoughts on this.
I come from a C# background as well - we make sure to type all the request/response objects as well as any parameters/return objects. I don't find it too difficult with the right telemetry, but agree that it's not as clear cut as C#. I would really only use if the founding team all agree on it. I wouldn't mind working in C# tbh
Yh that makes sense. It really does depend how many devs in the team have knowledge in a given language and framework. It's interesting that you can really just achieve the same thing in a 100 different languages/frameworks.
Yeah, I've tried it out a little and didn't really like it too much. Do you use it for general programming or do you find it is good for a specific purpose (the frontend, backend crud routes, etc.)?
@@jakeatgalileo I tried cursor out till my freemium plan ran out. My personal thoughts are that while their 'cursor tab' (which is their proprietary software for the alternative Github Copilot) is really good it does become quite counter intuitive because you stop thinking for yourself and let the AI do all the work. I prefer Github Copilot because it hits the sweet spot just right and in the end I prefer thinking about how to implement something rather than rely fully on the AI which takes away the fun problem thinking aspect. But to each to their own. I don't hate Cursor by any means, I think they are a great tool but is kinda a bit too much imo.
Hi Jake, Great video! I really enjoyed it-your content is not only engaging but also quite insightful. I’m also an AI developer and found your project fascinating. I’d love to learn more about it and explore the possibility of contributing to your work. Let me know if you’re open to discussing this further. Looking forward to connecting!
Love this content!
really enjoyed this video format!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Good luck bro, is you design ai models from scratch or use pretrained models and make tweaks in that?
Definitely not building our own models yet. Unless we were deep tech, prototyping and building with existing models has been much faster and easier

Is it Vietnam?
Have you tried out cursor? Wouldn't it be more efficient and effective?
Yeah, I've tried it out a little and didn't really like it too much. Do you use it for general programming or do you find it is good for a specific purpose (the frontend, backend crud routes, etc.)?

@@jakeatgalileo for telling the computer what the change should be and let it write the code until I like it
I need to learn how to use the cursor tool
What cam were you using??
I've just been using my phone camera!
@ nice! But in a tripod or something? Is very still and also like great angle
Yeah I use a tripod!
