    A simple weekend project, to check if chat conversation could be used on CLI. Uses Google Gemini's gemini-2.0-flash model. Configs will make it nicer, but I wanted to keep it simple to test and launch for now. I can add things for you :) Please give it a try!

    I've been building computer-use tools for a while, and I quietly launched this about a month ago (122 Stars on GH). I figured it was worth sharing here. Over the last few months, a lot of computer-use agents have come out: Codex, Claude Code, CUA, and others. Most of them seem to work roughly like this: 1. Take a screenshot 2. Have the model predict pixel coordinates 3. Click x,y 4. Take another screenshot 5. Repeat That works, but it's slow, expensive in tokens, and fragile. If the UI shifts a few pixels, things break. And the model still doesn't know what any element actually is. But the…

    Hi! I’m Nathan: an ML Engineer at Mozilla.ai: I built agent-of-empires (aoe): a CLI application to help you manage all of your running Claude Code/Opencode sessions and know when they are waiting for you. - Written in rust and relies on tmux for security and reliability - Monitors state of cli sessions to tell you when an agent is running vs idle vs waiting for your input - Manage sessions by naming them, grouping them, configuring profiles for various settings I'm passionate about getting self-hosted open-weight LLMs to be valid options to compete with proprietary closed models. One…

    TLDR; I built a tool that turns any API into a CLI designed for ai agents --- Got tired of dealing with bloated context windows from MCP servers and skills that stuff entire API docs into the agent's context CLIs fix this, agents run a single command to self-discover everything an API has to offer So, built a tool to generate them for any api. All CLIs are written in Go, fast and lightweight, no dependencies Help text (via the --help flag) is the killer feature: all context for each command/endpoint/parameter is extracted directly from the user-facing API docs and enhanced with…

    Hi HN — I built Palmier. Palmier bridges your AI agents and your phone. It does two things: 1. It lets you use your phone to directly control AI agents running on your computer, from anywhere. 2. It gives your AI agents access to your phone, wherever you are — including things like push notifications, SMS, calendar, contacts, sending email, creating calendar events, location, and more. A few details: * Supports 15+ agent CLIs * Supports Linux, Windows, and macOS * What runs on your computer and your phone is fully open source * Works out of the box — no need to set up GCP or API keys just to…

    Fun agent I've been playing with - the idea is it only has access to a bash tool, and it's directed to create CLIs for use (with additional direction to make the CLIs composable, follow the Unix philosophy, etc). It persists these CLIs and knowledge about them get injected into the system prompt dynamically, so each time it runs it gets access to a larger and larger toolset of composable CLIs. One interesting dynamic that's emerged from this is I've started using these CLIs myself since they're the same interface for the agent or for me, and it's turned into kind of non-chat channel to…
