for example, redlining contracts, creating ai generated videos, different website designs, and more.
curious to see if this resonates with folks here. i figure a more engineering'y audience that's ai coding-agent forward would have similar problems to what inspired me to make this
now do craigslist for human skills, curated by AI!
AIngies list
Probably not.
I'm going to be a little bit reductive, but: why would I buy a markdown file that someone most likely got an LLM to generate while I can just simply get my own LLM to generate a similar one for me for free?
Presumably, like all things, skills will just become increasingly complex until generating them requires architectural understanding. Also I’m sure there are sufficiently nontechnical people who would be happy to pay $5 for something that just works.
That said, I do think it’s hard to see myself paying for skills. It feels like something that lends itself to OSS
Fair
Yeah, HN isn't going to be your target market by and large -- this is the home of the folks that would, at most, pull up a page describing a skill and dump it into a harness.
I wouldn't take that as fatal. Most people aren't HN people.
I thought the same when someone promoted their platform for selling image prompts here on HN, but now they have at least 100k sales. I guess there will always be someone willing to pay for something if it takes even the slightest bit of effort.
Are there intentionally zero skills listed/curated?
I have a backlog of 20 or so to review right now and am getting that out as fast as I can.
I feel like skills are going to succumb to influencer branding. People will use the ones their idol says to use.
Agreed here, though this product/marketplace may be able to be a landing site for precisely that.
Why not ask the AI to research the topic you’re interested in and draft the skill(s) for you?
they're usually pretty bad. a lot of domain specific information just isn't public
Sorry to say that this probably has no valuable moat. And that is becoming an increasingly bigger issue for many companies. There is no longer the need for many services and products. There is some serious demand for expertise in the field of AI automation. But it requires experts with domain knowledge. Almost no companies have this. The end is near for those.
