EagleApprehensive · reddit · 2026-08-13
A developer on Reddit proposed creating an open-source AI workspace platform aimed at challenging industry giants, capitalizing on the current window where AI agents are becoming more capable.
The proposed platform features:
- Extensibility: Near-unlimited extension capabilities brought into a user's workspace, passing through an automated security pipeline.
- In-chat Services: Builders can offer services that agents can select as cheaper, more efficient alternatives for complex tasks instead of burning tokens.
- Revenue Sharing: Pooling premium subscriptions to pay builders, with 90% of platform revenue going to creators and service providers, aiming eventually for 100%.
The author calls for dozens of builders to collaborate, combining audiences, cross-backlinking for SEO, and potentially crowdfunding marketing to break through the audience wall.
