I’ve spent the last four and a half months building an ambitious project that I hoped would take the agentic LLM experience to a new level. The goal was to give LLMs their own scalable computing environment, essentially their own dedicated computers, allowing them to do far more than just simple web apps. I envisioned something capable of automating tasks, deploying apps, and managing or modifying them seamlessly. Plus, I wanted to empower users to have their own backend and database, removing the need to rely on third-party services.
After overcoming countless bugs and frustrating hurdles, I finally reached a stage where I felt confident enough to call it a functional MVP. But when it came time to test it out, I hit an unexpected wall – there wasn’t anyone around to actually give it a spin besides myself.
I turned to Reddit, hoping to find folks willing to take from their own time and try it out. Despite several posts, the response was surprisingly quiet. Some commented, but only one person truly gave the platform a shot. I offered free credits for anyone that was willing to test it. I’m considering offering ‘pro’ accounts for 6 months to anyone that would just test it and hopefully give some feedback.
What puzzles me even more is that I’ve created AI apps before, arguably simpler and less exciting ones, yet those gained far more traction than this current, more advanced project. I wonder if that happened because they were built specific for certain markets, while the goal for the agent was to be targeted towards most people.
I’d genuinely appreciate your thoughts here. Did I miss something obvious? Is it just a tough market right now, or have people simply grown tired of hearing about LLMs and agents? What should I do next?
