Products that do what A nihilist all-hands meeting simulator does
I was just digging through some old projects to find a link for a potential new employer and stumbled upon this reminder of how much I enjoyed middle-management office politics.

I just released a free demo (no login!) for "Talk to Me Human", a game about social persuasion. You speak out loud to play a variety of conversational challenges, and the NPCs talk back. I hope you enjoy, and would love to get your feedback!

Hi HN, I’m a former C++ dev turned Product Manager. I’ve noticed many engineers struggle with the "politics" side of things when they become Leads. To help with this, I’m building a text-based simulator. It is NOT an AI chatbot. It is a hand-crafted, branching narrative (logic tree) based on real experiences. I just launched the first scenario: "The Backchannel VP." The Setup: Your VP Engineering is bypassing you and giving tasks directly to your juniors, causing chaos. Your Goal: Stop the backchanneling without getting fired. It’s a short, specific puzzle. I’d love to know if you think the…

(Or really, any meeting that's more "download of information" than "let's collaborate") It's called All Hands, and we've launched today: https://allhands.app The idea is that instead of pressing the big red stop button on the side of your business every week in order to keep everyone up-to-date, you instead schedule in and pre-record the things they need to know. All Hands does the workflow part, lets you include other people (so it's easy to have different people presenting), makes recording easy (all in the browser, no extensions - MediaRecorder is cool!), and then does the…

After reading the book Getting to Yes, I really want some tool to help me negotiate more efficiently without having to memorize everything principle. You start by putting in interests of each party, then you can explore different functions: how to respond to the other party, explore objective criteria out there or brainstorm more negotiation options. Still working on it! Leave me feedback if you have any suggestions!

After adding "Human" as a LLM provider to OpenCode a few months ago as a joke, it turns-out that acting as a LLM is quite painful. But it was surprisingly useful for understanding real agent harnesses dev. So I thought I wouldn't leave anyone out! I made a small oss game - You Are An Agent - youareanagent.app - to share in the (useful?) frustration It's a bit ridiculous. To tell you about some entirely necessary features, we've got: - A full WASM arch-linux vm that runs in your browser for the agent coding level - A bad desktop simulation with a beautiful excel simulation for our computer…

Hi HN! We were trying to have our team adopt AI more and had the idea for "AI Bingo" - hands-on, mini challenges that resulted in something delightful and real. Our team members were obsessed, they were saying it was "weirdly addictive." People made AI-generated ASMR videos, n8n automations, games. Our email marketer built an Electron app using Claude Code. We were stunned - people were learning by doing AND having fun. So, we've spent the last few weeks building Made That, where anyone can do the same challenges and see other people's submissions. A lot of people feel a lot of existential…

Hi HN, Can current AI systems actually run a business? There’s a growing belief that LLM agents can already manage entire teams, replace the entire software stack or even act as an AI CEO. So we built a controlled, measurable environment to evaluate this premise. Why did we build this benchmark? A modern enterprise operates in a dynamic environment with high uncertainty and incomplete information. The CEO has to deal with delayed consequences, staffing/resource tradeoffs and death by a thousand cuts of failure modes. If we ever want AI systems that can meaningfully make operational or…

You play as God manifested as a Professor. The goal of the game is to prevent your students from failing a free elective course. To achieve this, you must gain the trust of your students. Each student has their own personality and interests. Teaching them about their interests improves their relationship with you. This is a passion project I decided to pursue after becoming unemployed. It has been a fun project to chip away at over the past two months. The game is in beta, so I am eager to hear any feedback you all have. Join the Discord, and if possible, consider donate to my Ko-fi so I can…

Stack: WASM + Rust + Macroquad I saw that a company had posted a cool job ad where you had to apply directly via a REST API. That gave me the idea to gamify my resume as well. Since I was bored, I vibe coded a bit and voilà, the result was ready. I think it's something new and fun that might put a smile on people's faces. (Please don't spam my email address, but feel free to send me an email with your high score if you want!)

Building on the concept of generative agents and the success of c.ai, we created Simtown.ai, a 2D NPC simulation where each NPC leverages OpenAI APIs to plan, act, reflect, and adapt. The gameplay is dynamic and immersive—NPCs can move, talk, and idle in scenarios like Harry Potter Town or perform role-specific actions such as voting, giving speeches, and listening in Election Town [https://app.simtown.ai/electiontown]. We’re currently working on features like saving and loading game states, allowing users to create their own NPCs, and enabling user-personas to evolve over…

Hey HN, I'm one of the creators of joinly.ai, an open-source solution that makes browser-based video conferences accessible to AI agents, allowing you to interact with them in real time. Think of it as a connector layer that brings the functionality of your AI agents to your meetings, allowing you to essentially build your own custom meeting assistant. We didn't want to build yet another Python framework for creating agents with its own syntactic sugar that you have to learn. That's why we opted for a different approach, utilizing an MCP server. Our MCP server provides essential meeting…

Hey HN, it's Vineeth from Plastic Labs (https://plasticlabs.ai) and we built this demo/game to showcase the latent capabilities of language models to simulate identities. We wrote more about what it is and how to use it on our blog (https://blog.plasticlabs.ai/blog/YouSim;-Explore-The-Multive...), but I'll try to quickly summarize. We took heavy inspiration from projects like WorldSim, WebSim, and Infinite Backrooms and prompted Claude Opus to act like a CLI interface that can simulate these identities while another instance will interact with the CLI. To…

I loved the role-playing exercises I did during my MIT negotiation classes, but many of my classmates are too busy now to continue them after the classes have ended. Before ChatGPT/GPT-4, good negotiation AIs to practice with weren't really possible. So, I thought building short GPT-4 powered simulations to teach basic negotiation concepts would be a fun thing to do :). Let me know how you do!

I’ve been building LLM tooling for a small VC fund and found myself explaining the same mental model over and over to non-technical people around me: how a stateless LLM becomes a chatbot, how tool use works, what an agent is mechanically, and why context windows shape all of it. I never found a guide that covered that full chain at the level I wanted, so I wrote one. It’s nine short chapters, each building on the last. Deliberately simplified: the goal is a useful mental model, not a textbook. Feedback, corrections, and contributions welcome: github.com/ymyke/aiaiai

Hey HN, I recently launched a podcast called The Multiverse Employee Handbook, where I mix light-hearted humor with some science fiction and a sprinkle of quantum physics. It’s set in a surreal corporate universe where office politics, interdimensional HR dilemmas, and wormhole deliveries are all part of the daily grind. Each narrative episode explores a different aspect of this multiverse, like quantum entanglement in the mailroom or cosmic deadlines. It’s definitely more on the fun and absurd side of things, but I try to weave in real science concepts (in the simplest way possible, of…

i made a council of advisors to help me code. as a self taught dev, ive been heavily reliant on ai for the past two years. found myself often prompting claude to take on different personalities, so i built a web app. it's great for the step before telling cursor what to do and reviewing prs once theyre ready.

I wanted to learn more about RAG implementations, so I built something to solve the constant digging through manuals whenever we play a game. It's fairly simplistic, but actually has worked pretty well for some of these conflicts. Everythings Open Source on GitHub if you're curious (or have ideas), and I'd love to hear feedback from fellow boardgamers!
