Interesting, have you considered adding benchmarks comparing AgentKit to other frameworks? Would help teams evaluating options

dot_louison You probably could sell your Zap/Make workflow

Hi all, I'm Louis and new here.

I've built quickapi.io for the last two months to scratch my own itch:

I've been building multiple Zaps and make workflow, as well as API to experiment with GPT in the last few months and wondered if I could sell them.

The thing is, to sell an API, you need to set up some complex code and infrastructure around it. Just the fact you need to build user authentication and management, billing, credits, and metering for every API seemed crazy to me. So I build QuickAPI to take care of that.

Here's an example: https://jobtitlesai.com is a simple machine-learning algorithm to classify job titles. It uses QuickAPI, so every time someone signs up, he immediately has access to an API dashboard to manage his subscription and credits.

I'm considering addressing the no-code/low-code market where more "techy" developers can easily sell their work to "less-techy" people who want to build with it.

If you had a platform that lets you paste your bare endpoint (without auth, billing, and that just does its core thing), how would you use it? What would you sell? To whom?
