Hi HN, I'm Jared from Drafting AI (https://getdrafting.com/). We're a Chrome extension that helps operations and customer support teams work through their inboxes more efficiently. Here's a quick demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCDqAMaYx2Q We believe AI can be deployed more widely when you mitigate hallucinations through human-in-the-loop review. This led to two decisions: 1. A Chrome Extension is ideal for presenting actions in third-party apps for human review. When AI suggests issuing a refund via Shopify, what better way to show it than through…

While building my startup i kept running into the issue where ai agents in cursor create endpoints or code that shouldn't exist, hallucinates strings, or just don't understand the code. ask-human-mcp pauses your agent whenever it’s stuck, logs a question into ask_human.md in your root directory with answer: PENDING, and then resumes as soon as you fill in the correct answer. the pain: your agent screams out an endpoint that never existed it makes confident assumptions and you spend hours debugging false leads the fix: ask-human-mcp gives your agent an escape hatch. when it’s unsure, it calls…

Preloop▲121Hey HN, I’m Yannis, co-founder of Preloop. We’ve built a proxy for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that lets you add human approval gates to your AI agents without changing your agent code. We’re building agents that use tools (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.), but we were terrified to give them write-access to sensitive systems (Stripe, Prod DBs, AWS). We didn't want to rewrite our agents to wrap every tool call in complex "ask_user" logic, especially since we use different agent runtimes. We built Preloop as a middleware layer. It acts as a standard MCP server proxy.You point your agent to…

Meltbox▲21Easy to try even without an account! Would love all feedback. Hey all, I'm building Meltbox as a better human in the loop system. It's a way to centralize all of the decisions you need to make into context-rich briefs in a system built for fast human review. [Why] Something major changed recently. Agents have gotten even better and even faster at building apps / sites / dashboards / etc... and that's changed my development workflow in a major way. I often have my agents build an entire app/dashboard just to make ONE DECISION. It's no longer just building the product. It's…
