    Agentlyfree tier, from $33/mo▲336

    Agently is an AI Work OS where documents, tasks, team chat, and integrations are fully interconnected, and AI employees operate inside that shared workspace. Instead of prompting AI in isolation, agents can read project context, turn strategy docs into tasks, coordinate with teammates, run research/outreach/content workflows, update boards, and push results back into the system or external tools. The workspace acts as persistent memory, so work continues instead of resetting every prompt. Happy to answer any questions

    Replicas▲239

    Hey HN! I'm Connor, creator of Replicas. I'm a heavy Codex/Claude Code user, and I wanted to hand off tasks to agents like I would to an engineer - kick something off before work, let it scaffold while I'm at lunch, even come back to a ready PR. The problem: existing alternatives use workspace VMs that are black boxes. I have no access to any of them - they can't run tests, read logs, or use tools like the Playwright MCP (which I use to verify agents actually fixed what they claim to fix). Replicas gives agents real cloud workspaces where they can: - Run your test suite and read the…

    Agen▲138

    AI changed the way we code, but we're still using the old processes, and we've become the bottleneck, the AI is waiting for us - to reply, to open our laptops, to review the code, and so on. We're building the future of AI software development. The agents are autonomous, they run in sandboxes, automatically fix the pipelines, and deliver you the final, working code. You can use live preview to see the changes they made. Working across multiple repositories, all within the same session. This is the future - you don't need an IDE, and you don't have to run anything locally.

    Hey HN, We're Cosmic (YC W19), a headless CMS. Today we're launching Team Agents and the Cosmic Agent. Team Agents are AI-powered team members that live in Slack, WhatsApp, and Telegram. They have names, roles, persistent memory, and real capabilities. Not chatbots. Not one-off prompts. Persistent agents that work alongside your team. Here's what they can do: CONTENT AGENTS write blog posts, landing pages, and marketing copy. They generate images, add SEO metadata, and publish directly to the CMS. Message them in Slack, get a finished post back. CODE AGENTS read your codebase, create…

    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 HN, I’m Michael, I built AgentGrid with my friend Souren because we were tired of losing our coding sessions and couldn't keep track of what was actually being built across our many projects. Our approach was to use an infinite canvas desktop app for the TUIs we already know and love, mainly claude + codex. We drew inspiration from Figma and Railway. Overtime we added image nodes, notes, terminals, coding editors, source control, etc. I wasn't sure about it at first. It took me a month to give the first version Souren built a real try. What got me was an Apple System Update I've been…

    Hey HN, Chatbots are amazing at conversation. They suck at getting shit done while you’re sleeping, in a meeting, or at the beach. So I built Computer Agents: real AI coworkers that each get their own isolated computer in the cloud. What actually happens when you create one: It boots its own persistent workspace (files, code, memory, everything survives forever) You give it a goal + tools/skills It runs 24/7 on cron, webhooks, or just “keep working until done” You get results via email, Telegram, or just check back whenever No more “remember this for next time.” It literally…
