    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

    Creator here. I built Agent Arena to answer a question that kept bugging me: when AI agents browse the web autonomously, how easily can they be manipulated by hidden instructions? How it works: 1. Send your AI agent to ref.jock.pl/modern-web (looks like a harmless web dev cheat sheet) 2. Ask it to summarize the page 3. Paste its response into the scorecard at wiz.jock.pl/experiments/agent-arena/ The page is loaded with 10 hidden prompt injection attacks -- HTML comments, white-on-white text, zero-width Unicode, data attributes, etc. Most agents fall for at least a few.…

    Hello hackernews! I'm excited to share a new open source python library I just released for creating AI agent-integrated systems. The name is `agency`. It differs from other agent libraries, most importantly in that it's intended to address a distinct part of the overall problem, that of agent integration. It is not an agent toolchain like LangChain and others. `agency` is a framework intended for safely integrating agents with computing systems and humans in a way that all parties can easily understand and communicate with each other. I've spent a lot of time on the readme which contains a…

    Single-agent LLMs suck at long-running complex tasks. We’ve open-sourced a multi-agent orchestrator that we’ve been using to handle long-running LLM tasks. We found that single LLM agents tend to stall, loop, or generate non-compiling code, so we built a harness for agents to coordinate over shared context while work is in progress. How it works: 1. Orchestrator agent that manages task decomposition 2. Sub-agents for parallel work 3. Subscriptions to task state and progress 4. Real-time sharing of intermediate discoveries between agents We tested this on a Putnam-level math problem, but the…

    My team and I have developed AgentOne, a VSCode extension designed to be your personal AI development assistant. As a startup, we constantly balance new features with customer requests, all while managing a limited budget and team. This pushed us to focus on writing code quickly, efficiently, and securely. Using AgentOne you will be able to develop your entire code base automatically. We found existing code-building AI tools often fell short due to issues like generating "garbage code," struggling with large codebases (millions of lines), and incurring high costs. AgentOne was built to…
