I'm building https://supadesk.ai - An AI agent platform to help businesses manage their front-desk.

I launched beta last month with a couple of customers in pilot phase. It has been great learning experiencing building my first AI agent tool and running it in production.

Nice, which frameworks are you using? What did you learn from customers?

I'd consider a different name to avoid issues with supabase should you take off.

Thanks,

My tech stack consists of: - Ruby on Rails - Vue.js + Inertia.js - PostgreSQL - TailwindCSS with Shadcn Vue UI

the app runs on Hetzner VM deployed via Kamal.

I'm planning to do a detailed blog post on the tech stack soon.

I found initial customers by manual outreach within my network.

I don't see any potential issue with Supabase. Both names are drastically different and we serve different markets. Besides, there are plenty of other products name with "supa" prefix.

Thanks, would really like to read the blog post.

Are you using any of the major agentic frameworks (Mastra, LangSmith etc)? Or is the AI harness etc entirely custom-built?

I'm using RubyLLM which is an incredible framework for building agents.

Hadn't heard of it! Site here: https://rubyllm.com/

This looks really nice. Snippet from site:

chat = Chat.create! model: "claude-sonnet-4"

chat.ask "What's in this file?", with: "report.pdf"

beautiful interface right? It is honestly so great working with such well thought out gem.
