Congrats on the launch. We have been using Chatwoot (https://chatwoot.com/) - an open source solution for customer messaging. Great to see all the open source project. How are you differentiating Airy?

Thank you for the question, soorajchandran. We appreciate to see more open source tools in this space and believe that Chatwoot is a great choice when you are primarily looking for a cost efficient alternative to Intercom, Zendesk or basic contact center software with a UI for customer support agents.

What you get with Airy is enterprise-scale conversational infrastructure that can power millions of conversations simultaneously by ingesting messaging events in Apache Kafka, running in a dedicated Kubernetes cluster to stream and process conversational data for a variety of use cases, such as integrating with Conversational AI platforms or storing all your conversations in a data lake to run conversational analytics or train machine learning models based on actual conversations.

In that sense what we do is more like "Segment" for conversational data.

In our approach, we would rather like to integrate with for example live chat plugins provided by Intercom instead of replacing them at companies that already chose Intercom to serve their customers with a live chat plugin on their website or in their mobile apps. Airy also comes with a fully customizable open source live chat plugin and an Inbox UI for human agents, but it's not at the core of what we do.

We believe there is much more value to be gained from utilizing conversational data and we therefore like to integrate and play well with other solutions in the space as we believe that companies should have the freedom to choose the tech stack that best suits their requirements and budget restrictions.

Interesting project!

Thanks

I can code well - now what?

Hey folks,

I built Tinyschool - It is a collection of curated learning paths to help developers learn skills to climb up their career path. The skills include more than just coding - things like documentation, collaboration, communication, engineering processes etc.

When I was in the early stage of my career, a question that always bothered me was - I can code well, but what is next? It took years of learning at work and research to figure out what those skills are(and the list is still incomplete).

This is my humble attempt to curate all those skills. Along with a couple of other senior engineering managers, we have curated over 25 skills so far. Will be adding more soon.

And it's all free to use.

Thanks! Hope it helps.

Interesting idea. I'll be curious to see what kind of developers use this. It doesn't fit into the normal area of learning software for people who don't yet know how to code. Your product isn't really a Lambda school type but it also isn't something $bigcorp can tell you to go get a certificate with either.

Agree. Have to figure out the monetisation part on the way. I have been doing mentorship etc on a personal circle for a long time now. Thought about ways in which I can do it on scale and this is a first version of that thinking.

This is just my personal knowledge. What if for example, Ycombinator curates a path to learn how to build a startup, or Airbnb curates a path on how to build two sided marketplaces.

That's how I'm thinking about it now.

Awesome

For the past few months, I’ve been doing a lot of self-discovery. The goal was to decide what I want from my life.

This is what I came up with.

Had posted this earlier, but the URL was wrong.

The Oyster Cost Calculator lets you estimate how much it will cost to employ someone in a country. Currently, Oyster can help you hire in over 70 countries.

Oyster Bridges is a virtual remote jobs fair that brings together talented individuals from the developing world and other under-represented communities with companies that would love to meet them.

Thanks for the concern. > In the United States using this site is going to be a legal quagmire.. Genuinely curious to learn more about this. Can you please explain?

Just to clarify - By using us all companies will be doing is post ads to reach a different kind of audience they otherwise won't.

You are right. As far as we understand nobody is going to risk the quality of the hire they make. This is merely a way to reach a different kind of audience(talent in this case) that is otherwise hard for a typical US/Europe based remote team to reach.
