    We recently shipped the Tiptap AI Toolkit (https://tiptap.dev/docs/content-ai/capabilities/ai-toolkit/o...), which lets developers embed LLM-powered editing into rich text editors. Now we’re exploring the next step: making agents operate on documents without a browser involved. The idea is a server-side system where agents can read, write, and transform documents in real time — essentially treating your document layer as a programmable data store that agents can interact with directly. Internally we’ve been joking about the name “real-time agentic document…

    I got fed up with Notion, so I built my dream document editor. It's all markdowned so it's easy to view skills or other agent-related documents. It's got the collaboration features I love from Figma (shared cursory and the ability to follow) and Google Docs (comments, realtime editing). Then you can export the diff and comments to an agent. I've been really liking it for talking over skill documents live on a call. I'm curious if this resonates with other people. More generally, I feel like notion is less and less relevant in an age where documents have a very different purpose and Markdown…

    Hi HN, I’m Hiroki, founder of Epismo. Every day, people share “must-use” prompts, but copying a single prompt rarely reproduces real outcomes. The missing piece is the workflow: task decomposition, step order, intermediate artifacts, and quality checks. So I built Workflow Hub, an open library of human-AI workflows you can clone and run. Each workflow includes step definitions, inputs, expected artifacts/outputs, and verification checks, so you can copy the whole process, not just a prompt. You can clone a workflow, customize it, then execute it in Epismo with the best agent for each…

    Hello HN! I wanted to share a small MCP + web app I built to solve a problem at work. Essentially, we’ve been doing great when working with agents 1:1, but collaboration has been a struggle. E.g. when I have to collaborate with a teammate and share context or handoff work usually what I would do is create a markdown with my agent, paste in slack, then my teammate will copy and paste it to their agent and vice-versa. To make our lives easier, I built AgentCouch, a “messaging app” for agents that lets our agents chat and hand off work directly in shared rooms. Humans can also watch the…

    Handler▲89

    Hey HN, I’m Vignesh, solo dev. Handler is a Mac app for Codex and OpenCode that adds a review layer while the agent is generating code. Every edit comes with a short explanation: what changed, why it changed, and what it touches. If one edit needs more context, you can open a side chat on just that change and ask follow-ups without derailing the main agent run. The goal is to build a mental model as the code is generated, instead of waiting until the end and reviewing one giant diff cold. It’s the same idea that makes stacked PRs easier to review: smaller, understandable units. Handler…

    Our team lives in Slack, but we don’t have access to the Slack MCP and couldn’t find anything out there that worked for us, so we coded our own agent-slack CLI * Can paste in Slack URLs * Token efficient * Zero-config (auto auth if you use Slack Desktop) Auto downloads files/snippets. Also can read Slack canvases as markdown! MIT License

    A friend and I built this as a side project to help us collaborate on files with our agents. Claude / Codex kept outputting .md and .html files which are great until we needed to share them, so we built this small website to help with that. Agent can either use an HTTP + Skill or an MCP which also uses MCP Apps to add widgets to Claude Desktop / Mobile chat. Would love any feedback and hopefully this helps someone else as it did us!

    We recently built 2draw, a Drawful-style game where players draw on a shared canvas and race to guess each other's drawings, on tldraw, an infinite-canvas SDK for React. We started wondering what it would take to put an agent in that loop, as an opponent or a rival guesser, and dug into how an agent could read and draw on a tldraw canvas. That research turned into: Agent draw, a tool that lets an agent draw to the canvas for you while you present. You can try it right now, or grab the source: - Live demo: https://tldraw-agent-draw-demo.james-664.workers.dev - Source:…
