Our #neatHack submission On day one my AI tester lied that a click worked, so I built First User to prove everything: it tries your site like a new customer, shows exactly where it gets stuck, and re-checks your fix. firstuser-dv.vercel.app Built with @arithecfo @EntireHQ @neatlogs xitter.cf/bettersayAJ/status/210โ€ฆ
building agents is easy getting them to production is hard today weโ€™re launching @neatlogs to fix that

Senior engineers don't write more code. They delete more code. Thoughts ๐Ÿ’ญ๐Ÿค”? #buildinpublic #softwareengineering

My work week: Korean standup at 6am US client calls at 10pm Chai in between Remote work from India isn't a compromise. It's an arbitrage.

Too good... The part about reliable AI agents and verification caught my attention. We're moving from โ€œAI can write codeโ€ to โ€œcan we trust what it builds?โ€ As developers, shipping faster means nothing if we skip verification. ๐Ÿ‘€

Developers, settle this debate ๐Ÿ‘€ When it comes to Git, whatโ€™s your go-to? Terminal โ€” real ones type their commits Git extension โ€” visualizing the chaos is easier ๐Ÿ˜‚ No judgment. Just curious whoโ€™s winning this battle ๐Ÿ‘€ #BuildInPublic #DevCommunity

#BuildInPublic #DevCommunity Terminal, always. Why move my hand to the mouse when I can introduce 3 new bugs with one command? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’€

Yrr, why is recording yourself so awkward ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’€ I can literally speak in front of 100+ people, but the moment a camera is pointed at me, I forget how to act normal I can feel your pain, sir. Camera ke saamne toh meri bhi saari public speaking skills resign kar deti hain ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ˜‚

Founders: when was the last time you tried your own signup like a stranger? Not as the person who built it. As someone who's never seen it. Most bugs that cost you users don't throw errors. They just make people quietly leave. I built an agent that does this for you ๐Ÿ‘‡

The team behind First User: ๐Ÿง  one observability tool (@neatlogs ) ๐Ÿค– one coding agent โ˜• one me 3 days. Tusi trio was cooking #Build #buildInpublic #neatHack
One @neatlogs watching every step. One coding agent writing the code. One me making the calls. This trio is cooking something ๐Ÿ‘€ First User was just the start. firstuser-dv.vercel.app #buildinpublic

A founder ran my agent on his live site. It flagged that pricing info was confusing. He replied with feedback. I shipped the fix the same morning. That's the whole loop I'm building: find it โ†’ fix it โ†’ check again. Thanks @TheXSami

3 days. Solo. One AI agent. โœ… 7/7 real journeys verified, two rounds in a row โŒ 0/3 broken sites wrongly called a success ๐Ÿ’ธ ~1 cent per run Small benchmark. Not a guarantee. But every number traces back to a real log. @neatlogs @EntireHQ @arithecfo

Day one, my AI agent lied to me. Clicked "Add to cart." Reported โœ“ success. The cart was empty. It didn't mean to lie. It just never checked. So I gave it one rule: prove everything. Now every click says if the page actually changed, and admits when the first try failed. #neatHack #buildInPublic
Building First User taught me more than I expected. Every bug I fixed showed me another thing founders actually need. The idea list is now longer than the code. A few are coming soon ๐Ÿ‘€ #buildinpublic #ai #firstUser

I planted one bug in my demo shop to test my AI agent. It found it. I fixed it. Pressed "Check again." It came back stuck again, on a bug I DIDN'T plant. My checkout page had no order summary. I never noticed. My agent did. The tool I built to be honest was honest with me ๐Ÿ‘‡
Watching the other #neatHack builders' demos inspired me to make one more video for First User. This time, First User tells its own story: how it lied on day one, and learned to prove everything.

2 days until the #neatHack results. 3 days ago I started with one idea: what if every founder had a QA team that tries their site like a real customer? Day one, my own agent lied to me. It said "Added to cart โœ“". The cart was empty. So I rebuilt it to prove everything. This is First User ๐Ÿ‘‡ @neatlogs @EntireHQ @arithecfo #buildinpublic

Someone told me today that they'd "steal" one part of what I built. Not the AI agent. Not the browser automation. Three labels. Every claim First User makes about your website carries one: โ†’ Observed: it saw it happen โ†’ Verified: a separate, independent check confirmed it โ†’ Unknown: it couldn't check, so it says so It sounds small. But it came from the hardest lesson of the build: on day one, my agent said a click worked when nothing had changed. An AI that sounds sure about everything can't be trusted about anything. So, please steal it. I'd love it if every AI tool showed what its claims actually rest on. firstuser-dv.vercel.app #AIAgents #BuildInPublic #TrustInAI
The Observed / Verified / Unknown labels are the part I'd steal. Clear and hard to fake.

A founder tried First User on his product and said: "I'd call pricing 'not found' instead of 'not published', since it only read two pages." He's right. It shouldn't claim more than it checked. Shipped the fix the same morning. Thanks @TheXSami ๐Ÿ™ #buildinpublic #neatHack
Replying to @devsdv_
Yeah, the suggested journeys are useful. I'd call pricing 'not found' instead of 'not published', since it only read two pages
