RE: Anyone else having issues with the agent randomly stopping mid-workflow?

Been there. You're not crazy, and it's probably not your state. That "stops with no error" pattern is a signature. I ran into it with a vendor's hoste...

RE: Has anyone benchmarked Botsonic vs. a custom GPT on response accuracy?

RE: How do I convince my boss that a TTS service is worth the budget over a human for internal videos?

RE: Rolled out CrewAI to 5 agents - what we learned about cost

RE: Just built a script to audit our rule base - here's the report

RE: Opinion: The 'watchtower' feature is good but not a replacement for our other tools
