Products that do what Agentic is an OSS AI functions stdlib does
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 :)

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-... Would love your thoughts — feedback, issues, and stars welcome!

I put together a directory of agentic coding tools & things like autonomous app builders, CLI agents, VSCode copilots, and multi-agent dev platforms. Most of these tools can plan, scaffold, and write code with minimal input. Some are polished, some experimental. I wanted a way to compare them all in one place. You can filter by autonomy level, LLMs used, pricing, open source, etc. It’s a compact UI—works on mobile, has dark mode, and no signups or fluff. Would love feedback: Are there tools I’ve missed? Anything that should be organized differently? Info you wish was included? Cheers.

Hi HN, I’m the creator of Cordum. I’ve been working in DevOps and infrastructure for years (currently in the fintech/security space), and as I started playing with AI agents, I noticed a scary pattern. Most "safety" mechanisms rely on system prompts ("Please don't do X") or flimsy Python logic inside the agent itself. If we treat agents as autonomous employees, giving them root access and hoping they listen to instructions felt insane to me. I wanted a way to enforce hard constraints that the LLM cannot override, no matter how "jailbroken" it gets. So I built Cordum. It’s an open-source…

Hey HN! I am super excited (and slightly nervous) to introduce AgentServe! AgentServe is a framework to make hosting scalable AI agents as easy as possible. With 4 lines of code AS wraps your agent (any framework) in a FastAPI and connects it to a Task Queue (celery or redis). Why Should You Care? Standardized Communication Pattern: AgentServe proposes that all agents should communicate with each other and the outside world with “Tasks” that can be submitted in a sync or async way. This simple API wil enable Framework Agnostic: No favorites. OpenAI, LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI are all…

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…

Hi HN folks, I have been building AI agents for quite some time now. The shift has gone from LLM + Tools → LLM Workflows → Agent + Tools + Memory, and now we are finally seeing true agency emerge: agents as systems composed of tools, command-line access, fine-grained system capabilities, and memory. This way of building agents is powerful, and I believe it is here to stay. But the real question is: are the systems powering these agents ready for that future? I do not think so. Using Docker for a single agent is not going to scale well, because agents need to be lightweight and fast. LLMs…

Hi Hacker News! We're launching Zalor, an agent testing platform. Agents often break when you tweak system prompts, swap models, or add tools. Zalor automatically generates test scenarios and evaluates your agent so you know it's reliable before deploying to production. We currently support the OpenAI Agents SDK and are onboarding other frameworks. A GitHub integration is coming so you can get feedback on every update. Looking forward to hearing feedback from people building agents.

Hey HN! We've just open-sourced Agent, our framework for running computer-use workflows across multiple apps in isolated macOS/Linux sandboxes. After launching Computer a few weeks ago, we realized many of you wanted to run complex workflows that span multiple applications. Agent builds on Computer to make this possible. It works with local Ollama models (if you're privacy-minded) or cloud providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and others. Why we built this: We kept hitting the same problems when building multi-app AI agents - they'd break in unpredictable ways, work inconsistently across…

Three months ago, we started developing an open source agent framework. We previously tried existing frameworks in our enterprise product but faced challenges in certain areas. Problems we experienced: * We risked our stateless architecture when we wanted to add an agented feature to our existing system. Current frameworks lack server-client architecture, requiring significant effort to maintain statelessness when adding an agent framework to your application. * Scaling problem - needed to write Docker configurations as existing frameworks lack official Docker support. Each agent in my…

Hi HN, I am Umer. I recently built an experimental framework called HyperFlow to explore the idea of self-improving AI agents. Usually, when an agent fails a task, we developers step in to manually tweak the prompt or adjust the code logic. I wanted to see if an agent could automate its own improvement loop. Built on LangChain and LangGraph, HyperFlow uses two agents: - A TaskAgent that solves the domain problem. - A MetaAgent that acts as the improver. The MetaAgent looks at the TaskAgent's evaluation logs, rewrites the underlying Python code, tools, and prompt files, and then tests the new…

Hey HN, Staff Engineer at Ably here. Over the past few months I've been speaking to engineers building AI assistants, copilots, and agentic workflows (over 40 companies at this point), with particular focus on cloud-hosted agents. I expected the hard problems to be in model selection, prompt engineering, and orchestration. Instead, the same infrastructure challenges kept coming up: realtime sync between agents and end clients is surprisingly painful to get right. - Managing and scaling WebSocket or SSE connections between agents and clients - Buffering messages server-side and implementing…
