thought building was hard but this was way harder ...

two years into software engineering, I thought I had seen most of the tough problems. Six months ago, I was asked to build an agentic chatbot for customer support. Coding it was straightforward tokens, limits, pipelines, all manageable.

Then reality hit: the costs were out of control. I searched for caching tools, but nothing fit. So I put together a messy workaround in production. It worked, but only barely.

That pain pushed me to build something better: Ornymo an async‑first semantic caching tool that caches on intent, not just strings. It cuts costs, keeps latency low, and verifies answers before they reach the user.Made in 4 months after making it production ready

But the truth: building the product was the easy . Getting people to use it is brutal af. I’ve opened it up with free and paid plans, and I’d love feedback from fellow founders.

If youve faced the same “distribution wall,” how did you break through?
