In Brazil, pica is a slang for penis.
I might be biased but I like the name. To add to the commentary with a positive connotation, Pica pica is the Latin name for the Eurasian magpie, perhaps the smartest bird (and animal?) of all :-)
Congratulations on the launch, best of luck.
What are the hero use cases for AI agents? Reading the website, I don't see a good demonstration of what "AI agents" are and what they're good for.
this is cool - looks like lots of the connectors are not available though? I work on https://mcp.run, which has some overlap to pica, where its really easy to ship your own connectors and run them directly in your LLM/Agent, or compose them into a Task.
would love to connect and see if there are ways to share :)
Is the OneTool source not available?
Also, do you guys do something similar to: https://github.com/frankfralick/dripgrep ?
(for the curious, the README for this repo is 100% worth taking a look at!)
there are problems in ml-infra where rust could have a good impact. appears to me that there you are merging 2 popular bandwagons - agentic and rust - perhaps you could solve specific infra problems using rust which are inefficiently solved with python.
Back button is nonfunctional (because of the redirect to /home)
This is really cool! I can see the list of your supported Connectors on the site. How could I create custom integrations in Pica that would be accessible via the AI SDK?
Whatever the utility may be, the naming is really unfortunate and offputting IMO.
Can you explain what value this provides over just the Vercel AI SDK? I'm not super clear on what it is based on the homepage.
Congrats on the launch and thanks for posting!
What does "in Rust" add to the stack that makes it special? From the title, I expected to see something in Rust on the home page, not JavaScript
How is this different from other AI agent infrastructure solutions out there? What particular pain point are you solving for your customers which won't be solved unless they switch?
Also OT but having to quickly hit "back" twice to get back from the website is mildly infuriating
Can you please provide a really basic example of how it can be used with PostgreSQL?
lá ele ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
As a Python developer, I often see a serious lack of even basic software engineering practices affecting code maintainability in commercial software. Is this less of an issue in Rust?
Super cool! Also somewhat terrifying—the comment text on the landing page definitely raises an eyebrow:
// Agent below has access to all QuickBooks, Slack, and Gmail actions
There seems to be a common medical definition for the word Pica

>What Is Pica? Pica is an eating disorder in which a person eats things not usually considered food. Young kids often put non-food items (like grass or toys) in their mouths because they're curious about the world around them. But kids with pica (PIE-kuh) go beyond that.
