A few weeks back I bought a RTX 3080 and rebuilt my pipeline on temporal (got a ton of free trial credits) to be able to transcribe and process 2,000+ meetings a day at a cost of <$0.01 per meeting across my mac mini and linux machine. Last week the site crossed 30,000 city council meetings processed across 276 cities and all states + DC. I've also added access to apis and mcp endpoint for free with no login and a global rate limiter so I don't go broke :)

Open sourced, free, no login, local llm based task tracking desktop app I made last week with claude code for my specific workflow specs: sticky.build Key flow and desired features: - Drop in and convert the following into simple tasks: slack messages with actionable items, git pr links I've been meaning to review, comments and todos from meetings, exceptions and failures - Drag and drop hierarchical task tree to merge and collapse related tasks - A window that's always on top to bc I keep losing my tabs - Fully local with no login bc I don't want another subscription and I want to be able to use this at work

"its not just a boulder its a rock" The intent was to make something super simple for my use case, I know there are many app like it out there just not quite what I wanted. I just don't need all the bells and whistles or hassle of worrying about leaking company info.

The decisions that affect your daily life get made in 3 hour long city council meetings, but nobody watches them. I built a new civic tech site that processes every meeting and gives you summaries, transcripts, visuals, and chat. Tracking SF, Sacramento, and more!

I believe there's a lot opportunities to improve city government accountability, we should be able to stay better informed without committing hours of our time on a weekly basis. More accountability tracking features coming

Introducing Simile. Simulating human behavior is one of the most consequential and technically difficult problems of our time. We raised $100M from Index, Hanabi, A* BCV, @karpathy @drfeifei @adamdangelo @rauchg @scottbelsky among others.
