Problem

When you're using visual workflow editors like Retool or n8n:

1. You can't import just any dependency to your python/js scripts
2. You can't use IDEs like Cursor to auto generate code while referencing documentation, MCP servers, etc

Solution

1. Code up any kind of workflow in python
2. Import any dependency you want to use
3. Call LLMs or build agents using any API you want
4. Deploy as standalone endpoint to Modal

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Throw things away
