Hey clever folks,

We recently dropped one of our most popular issues ever:

Here’s the quick summary if you missed it:

  • Ignore the hype. Most agents are overbuilt and underused.

  • Find real problems. Only pitch solutions that save or earn $10k+/year.

  • Focus on outcomes. ROI wins over fancy tech every time.

  • Build first, sell later. Especially for your own use or local businesses.

Now, after thousands of views and hundreds of comments, the author shared a follow-up. 

Here’s the full breakdown

What’s actually used to build real, working agents:

  • Langchain → for complex agents and RAG

  • Pinecone → vector storage

  • Crew AI → for multi-agent systems

  • n8n → no-code workflow automation

  • FastAPI + Next.js → or Streamlit when you’re moving fast

  • AWS / Azure → everything containerized and deployed here

They are reliable and simple, just like your comfort meal.

Have a pricing model that clients love

Most businesses want fixed costs. 

Here’s the setup:

  • Setup fee: $3,500–$6,000 (based on complexity)

  • Monthly maintenance: $500–$1,500

  • API usage: Passed through to the client

This protects you from surprise bills, & gives clients peace of mind. (No medical insurance, no sick leave, no human errors) 

How to Find Profitable Problems to Solve

  • Shadow stakeholders for 1–2 days

  • Spot repetitive tasks with clear inputs & outputs

  • Measure time spent on those tasks

  • Estimate cost = Time × Hourly Rate × Frequency

  • Only build if it’s costing them $10k+/year

This is about solving painful & expensive problems.

Deployment: What Actually Happens Post-Launch

No project is "done" on day one. 

Here's what works:

  • Reliability beats complexity

  • Build simple dashboards for non-technical users

  • Include “panic buttons” (pause, restart, rollback) for peace of mind

Tip: Clients love being able to press one button when things go wrong.

You don’t need a unicorn startup or a VC deck. Solve one thing extremely well and make a profit from it. (Make this your mantra)
