I’ve spent the last two months building AgenticSeek, a privacy-focused alternative to cloud-based AI tools like ManusAI. It runs entirely on your machine—no API calls, no data leaks. Why AgenticSeek? Optimized for local LLMs (developed mostly on an RTX 3060 running deepseek r1 14b). Truly private: All components (TTS, STT, planner) run locally. More responsive than alternatives (we respond fast to issues + active Discord). Designed to be fun—think JARVIS-like voice control, multi-agent workflows, and a slick web UI. Current Features: Web browsing (research + form filling), code…

hi guys. been working on something i think is fundamentally missing in today's workflow with ai agents. vcs. i find myself struggling with questions that agents can't answer like "why did you do it?", "when did u delete this folder? why?", etc. or trying to /rewind (after a /compact...) or basically `bisect` to find when and why something was done by the agent in the current / previous session. just like git did for code, i think we are the same core capabilities with ai agents so... i developed an open source solution for that (currently supporting claude code) would love to…

We’ve been working with automating coding agents in sandboxes as of late. It’s bewildering how poorly standardized and difficult to use each agent varies between each other. We open-sourced the Sandbox Agent SDK based on tools we built internally to solve 3 problems: 1. Universal agent API: interact with any coding agent using the same API 2. Running agents inside the sandbox: Agent Sandbox provides a Rust binary that serves the universal agent API over HTTP, instead of having to futz with undocumented interfaces 3. Universal session schema: persisting sessions is always problematic, since…

Hi HN! My name is Abhishek. I've spent my career working on Operating Systems and Infrastructure at places like Replit, Google, and Microsoft. Today, I'm excited to launch Arrakis: an open-source and self-hostable sandboxing service designed to let AI Agents execute code and operate a GUI securely. GitHub: https://github.com/abshkbh/arrakis Watch Claude build a live Google Docs clone using Arrakis via MCP – with no re-prompting or interruption. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZ5cAnhAdPQ Key Features - Self-hostable: Run it on your own infra or Linux…

Just watched this video by ThePrimeagen (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efwDZw7l2Nk) about attackers jailbreaking Claude to run cyber attacks. The core issue: AI agents need isolation. We built ERA to fix this – local microVM-based sandboxing for AI-generated code with hardware-level security. Think containers, but safer. Such attacks wouldn't touch your host if running in ERA. GitHub: https://github.com/BinSquare/ERA Quick start: https://github.com/BinSquare/ERA/tree/main/era-agent/tutoria... Would love your…

Run AI Agents on your cloud infrastructurefree tier▲12Hi, founder of Okteto here! We’ve been experimenting with AI agents in our workflows at Okteto. Running them locally worked at first, but quickly became painful. git worktrees, multiple terminals, and messy context switches slowed us down. So we built Agent Fleets: ephemeral, fully managed environments for AI agents, built on top of Okteto’s development platform. Each agent runs in its own containerized environment on your infrastructure, with the services, tools, and policies it needs. You can spin up agents with a single click or API call. No local setup. No git worktrees. The beta…

Hey everyone, We're excited to introduce MarinaBox, an open-source toolkit for creating isolated desktop/browser sandboxes tailored for AI agents. Over the past few months, we've worked on various projects involving: 1. AI agents interacting with computers (think Claude computer-use scenarios). 2. Browser automation for AI agents using tools like Playwright and Selenium. 3. Applications that need a live-session view to monitor AI agents' actions, with the ability for human-in-the-loop intervention. What we learned: All these scenarios share a common need for robust infrastructure. So,…
