measured how many tokens it takes to catch an ai agent up on one of my real projects. not a benchmark, just our numbers flowstate: ~10k reading our notes files: 17k to 85k flowstate stays about flat as a project grows. notes keep growing. tiny projects, notes still win flowstatemcp.com #MCP #AIagents #Cl

setting up flowstate hosted takes about a minute. make an account, add the connector, done beta still has a few open spots: 6 months free, then half price at $6/mo want to go local later? export your database and run the free version from github FlowStateMCP.com

Replying to @KyleHovance
receipt is a good way to put it. It’s faster and easier to sort through for the agents.

flowstate hosted is in beta. your coding agents log what they did (decisions, changes, problems, to-dos) and you can see all of it in one feed from your phone or desktop. works with claude, cursor and grok. the local version stays free and open source. 7 beta spots left: flowstatemcp.com

your ai's memory stays on your own computer. the flowstate relay lets claude reach it from anywhere, and anything that needs your ok waits on your phone. the ai can't approve it for you. flowstatemcp.com #MCP #AIagents #ClaudeAI #buildinpublic #opensource

worked on my pc with grok build, then picked up my iphone and asked claude and grok what we just did. both knew. same memory, two different ais. that's FlowState. free, open source, runs on your own machine. just shipped v2.1.0 github.com/dialectforge/Flow…

A project I’ve been promising my wife for TikTok. I made a site that allows users to make their own overlays and generate posters using grok without the hassles of ai and text. Took it for a test drive last night. Now she wants animations.

Most AIs will invent an answer to “flibbertigibbet quantum banana.” Lu just says no. Not a language model. Knowledge-graph AI that reasons from facts, writes + runs code, holds context, and refuses to fabricate. #AI #KnowledgeGraph #NotAnLLM

Made huge progress on Lu over the weekend. Not going to post screenshots from the success yet. Instead here is a screenshot of a failure that made feel like lu’s brain turned into noodles.

Been silent again. Still working on Lu Ai. 7 months solo. Backend’s done. Training’s far enough along to tune. This morning’s results were depressing. The more I stared, the more I saw it’s working. Maybe a little too well. Lots of tuning left. #buildinpublic #AI #knowledgegraph

Finally got my @XMoney today.
