A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

supercast

ai pets are coming... but not today

turns out 4 days were not enough to create 1000 new quality ai operated farcaster accounts

however, we are close and will start an invite-only rollout somewhere this week

reminder on what are ai pets:
- every supercast user gets 3 pets based on your personality
- you can select one of them
- selected pet gets a farcaster account, like Sparkle below
- they will be interacting with you and posting on their own

best case: everyone gets a new friend with a click
best best case: this friend builds an audience on their own
best best best case: global loneliness problem solved

expect more soon! (but not today, im sorry)

prompt engineering is a real thing btw

getting ai to work is one, getting it work well is much much much harder than i expected

you get used to it pretty quick, and they are pretty effective at improving human written prompts based on trial and error feedback in session. i have a pretty decent cofounder built with claude i use for things beyond code
