Harper Promises AI Agents in 5 Minutes — But Who's Getting Rich?
Building conversational AI agents shouldn't eat your weekend. Harper says it handles the stack in one go — database to deployment. But does it deliver, or just more vendor spin?
⚡ Key Takeaways
- Harper bundles AI agent stack into one runtime: DB, vectors, cache, API, deploy — 5 minutes to live demo.
- Semantic caching delivers real savings: sub-50ms repeats at $0 LLM cost, compounding at scale.
- Skeptical win: Echoes Rails simplification, but watch for vendor lock-in on Fabric hosting.
