Ask HN: Is building a company around an open-source AI agent platform realistic?

AI

Description

I've been running a Proxmox lab with around 40 services for a while now. Over the past year I ended up building an AI agent platform that manages my infrastructure and handles business operations — documents, phone calls, scheduling, monitoring, that kind of thing. It wraps Claude Code CLI as the execution engine with custom MCP servers on top. The whole thing started as internal tooling for a startup I was working on but honestly the platform ended up being way more useful than the start
