It's because they add almost zero value over just calling the APIs yourself or using an open source electron app that does. That doesn't mean they can't provide value to the average Joe, but for the technically inclined like HN's (or even Reddit's) audience they just look like cynical cash grabs. If you take a look at products like the Cursor IDE, they're also "just" wrappers around OpenAI and Anthropic API calls but they've put a lot of work integrating them into VSCode in a way that a) adds a lot of value and b) can't be replicated by a competent developer in a weekend. There's nothing wrong with selling a product you made in a weekend, but if it's that simple chances are there's an open source equivalent that's just a github search away. |
