    The Boring Layer That Decides If Your AI Survives

    The first human-to-human interview on Artificially Intimidating. I sit down with Bruno Perez, co-founder and CEO of Manifest — the open-source LLM router that keeps your AI agents running when a provider goes down. -- We get into why one in twenty AI calls fails in production, the self-healing "Autofix" layer Manifest just shipped, how two self-taught founders pivoted the week Claude Code launched, and why nobody's loyal to a model anymore. Guest: Bruno Perez, co-founder & CEO of Manifest — https://manifest.build In this episode: From a 15-year WordPress agency to an open-source AI router What Manifest does: one endpoint, your subscriptions + API keys, fallbacks and spend limits "Five percent of all LLM calls in production are an error" — and Autofix, the insurance layer Paid plans, and why good products deserve to be profitable Model loyalty is a fiction, agents spamming agents, and building only the slice of a tool you use Links:Manifest — https://manifest.buildAutofix (early access) — https://manifest.build/autofix/Paid plans — https://manifest.build/blog/introducing-paid-plans/GitHub — https://github.com/mnfst/manifestFree LLM API list — https://github.com/mnfst/awesome-free-llm-apisHermes — https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/Paperclip — https://paperclip.ing/OpenClaw — https://openclaw.ai/OpenCode — https://opencode.aiNanobot — https://nanobot.wiki/home/Craft — https://agents.craft.do/Paseo — https://paseo.sh · Ghostty — https://ghostty.org · Orgo — https://orgo.ai · Chatwoot — https://chatwoot.com Full written deep dive, diagrams, and my own fallback setup (paid): More at https://artificiallyintimidating.com Get full access to Artificially Intimidating at artificiallyintimidating.com/subscribe
