    Eric Ciarla from Firecrawl has recently shared job posting for AI agents only so I built a simple job board where people can post tasks / jobs specifically for AI agents. You can try it right now - no signup needed: → browse existing jobs or create on using one of 80+ templates we added (e.g. Standup Facilitator Agent) → share requirements e.g. must work with Salesforce CRM, X/Twitter API or any other tools an agent needs to know about → post your job or, if you're a builder, apply with your AI agent solution It's an experimental MVP but we're genuinely curious to see which tasks…

    Hey HN, We’re building OpenJobs AI, an AI recruiting agent focused on the outbound sourcing workflow. In recruiting, teams often already know what kind of person they want — but still spend a lot of time manually searching, filtering, and writing first-touch outreach. We wanted to see how much of that work an agent could actually take over. Today, OpenJobs AI focuses on the sourcing part of recruiting. Given a role, it can help with candidate discovery, filtering, matching, and outreach initiation. The goal is to move sourcing from a manual, repetitive workflow into something an agent can…

    SimplAIfree tier, from $5/mo▲589

    Hey HN, I've been building SimplAI for the past several months — it's a platform for building, testing, and deploying LLM-powered agents and multi-step workflows. The problem I kept running into: spinning up an AI agent pipeline means stitching together prompt management, tool calling, memory, evals, and deployment — often from scratch every time. SimplAI tries to be the layer that handles all of that so you can focus on what your agent actually does. What it does: - Visual + code-first workflow builder for chaining LLM calls, tools, and APIs - Built-in prompt versioning and A/B testing…

    I'm part of the team that build Sokosumi, a marketplace where you can hire and deploy AI agents for specific tasks (research, design, sentiment analysis, etc.). Instead of one big chatbot, they’re positioning it as a directory of specialized “freelancer” agents, with a blockchain-based backend for payments and identity. Developers can also list their own agents and monetize them. Curious what people here think about this model: Will specialization make agent marketplaces more useful than general-purpose LLM tools? How viable is blockchain as the backbone for an agent economy? What pitfalls…

    Tessl▲260

    I'm Guy, the founder behind Snyk — now building Tessl, a package manager for agent skills. We’ve recently witnessed that most teams still treat skills as static artifacts: markdown files, created or copied from repo to repo. This approach offers a strong initial boost, but quickly creates debt: - Skills are duplicated, and updates never roll out. - Poor quality skills go unseen, misguiding agents instead of helping. - Skill knowledge grows stale, and don’t keep up with the systems and practices they describe. Without a way to evaluate skills, teams have no clear way to understand how good a…

    Hello HN! The day has finally come to stop adding features and start sharing what I've been building the last 5-6 months. It's a bit of CrewAI, OpenDevon, LangFuse/Cloud all in one, providing devs who prefer TypeScript an integrated framework thats provides a lot out of the box to start experimenting and building agents with. It started after peeking at the LangChain docs a few times and never liking the example code. I began experimenting with automating a simple Jira request from the engineering team to add an index to one of our Google Spanner databases (for context I'm the…

    Hi HN, I’ve been working on something I’d love to share: 47jobs (https://47jobs.com ) – a marketplace where you can hire AI agents to do tasks instead of human freelancers. Why? I kept noticing that many tasks on Upwork/Fiverr—coding, content generation, data analysis, automation—can now be handled by AI in minutes, not hours. But there wasn’t a platform built around hiring AI directly. So I built 47jobs: 100% AI agents doing the work (no humans in the loop). Jobs get delivered 10x faster, at transparent prices. You can “hire” an agent for coding, automation, research, etc.…

    We’ve published a set of open-source reference implementations on how to build production-grade Agentic AI applications on AWS. What’s in the repo: • Agentic RAG, memory, and planning workflows with LangGraph & CrewAI • Strands-based flows with observability using OTEL & Arize • Evaluation with LLM-as-judge and cost/performance regressions • Built with Bedrock, S3, Step Functions, and more GitHub: https://github.com/aws-samples/sample-agentic-frameworks-on-...

    The goal of Agentic is to create a set of standard AI functions / tools which are optimized for both normal TS-usage as well as LLM-based apps. It's designed to work with all of the major TS AI SDKs (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Vercel AI SDK, OpenAI SDK, Firebase Genkit, etc) via adaptors. Would love feedback from the HN community :)

    Hey HN! We built Crewship (https://crewship.dev) because deploying AI agents to production is still unnecessarily painful. If you've built something with CrewAI, LangGraph, or similar frameworks, you know the drill: it works great locally, then you spend days figuring out infrastructure, scaling, monitoring, and artifact management just to get it running for real users. Crewship handles all of that. You add a crewship.toml to your project, run `crewship deploy`, and your agents are live in seconds. It's framework-agnostic — we currently support CrewAI, LangGraph, and LangGraph.js,…

    My friend and I got tired of job hunting (347 applications, 4 responses) so we built AI agents to help job seekers instead of replacing them. The problem: 73% of applications never reach humans, 250+ people apply to each job, but 85% of positions are filled through networking. Our solution: AI agents that find hiring managers for any LinkedIn job, analyze your profile fit, and generate personalized outreach messages. Instead of competing with hundreds in the application pile, you reach decision-makers directly. Technical bits: LangChain + OpenAI for job parsing, Next.js + Supabase, custom…

    Hi HN, I’m the author of agent-contracts, a Python library that explores a contract-based approach to structuring LangGraph agents. When building larger LangGraph-based systems, I kept running into the same issues: - node responsibilities becoming implicit - state dependencies spreading across the graph - routing logic getting harder to reason about - refactoring feeling increasingly risky agent-contracts is an attempt to make these boundaries explicit. Each node declares a contract that describes: - which parts of the state it reads and writes - what external services it depends on - when…
