Description
I kept hitting the same wall at work every time we needed to ship an AI feature. What looked like a week of work turned into picking a model, setting up a vector DB, managing embeddings, wiring up chat history, handling retries — none of it was the actual feature. So I built Modular. You register a function that returns your app's data, then call ai.run() for one-shot features or ai.chat() for stateful conversation. Everything else — context management, embeddings, session history, model routing, retries — is handled. MCP-native from day one. Works with Claude, GPT-4o, and Gemini. Still early — collecting feedback before building the full SDK. Would love to hear if others have hit this same wall, or if you think I'm solving the wrong problem.

Could you build this?
Yes It acts as a wrapper SDK/backend service coordinating LLM calls, vector embeddings, and conversation session persistence behind a unified API.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
