Hi HN, I’ve been working on InterviewFlowAI, a tool that automates the first-round hiring workflow for teams that spend too much time on initial screening. It handles resume scoring, public job links, candidate applications, and full interviews conducted over phone or Google Meet. I built this after spending years interviewing candidates as a Head of Engineering and realizing that most of the bottleneck happens before an engineer ever gets involved. Too many resumes, too many unqualified applicants, and a ton of repetitive phone screens that rarely lead anywhere. Here’s what the system does…

Argmin AI▲32Hey, HN community! We've built Argmin AI after shipping LLM features where the demo worked, then the bill and latency got unpredictable in production. Prompts expanded, context grew, retrieval got noisy, retries appeared, and agent workflows added loops. Argmin AI optimizes LLM-related expenses as a system: 1. prompt and context efficiency 2. model selection and routing 3. RAG inefficiencies and caching opportunities 4. agent workflows (tool calls, retries, loop control) Changes are validated with evals and guardrails (tests, gates, judges), tailored to your quality definition and goals.…

we had hundreds of discussions with engineering leaders over the past few months, and everyone's trying to understand where they are in the AI journey. we collected all this data into a benchmark and built a free grader to let you know where you stand. you answer on a 1–5 scale (e.g., autonomy runs from "suggestions only" to "agents own multi-hour workflows across code, infra, and external systems") - takes about 5 minutes. https://agent-benchmarks.com/software-factory/ waiting for your results!
