24 alternatives to Agentsearch – browse any docs as a filesystem
Hi HN, I built agentsearch, a free tool that turns any documentation website into a browsable filesystem that you can access with one command. npx nia-docs https://docs.anthropic.com This opens a shell where the docs are mounted as files. You can: - tree to explore - grep across pages - cat specific files The idea is simple: let agents read docs the same way developers read codebases. Most coding errors from agents come from stale or incomplete context. Docs change constantly, but models are trained on old data. RAG helps, but it returns fragments. In practice, a lot of answers…

/agent by Firecrawl ▲569While building mendable - we found that feeding LLMs well-structured markdown improved accuracy. We also found it surprisingly hard. We found some great tools online, but none reliably handled the entire process. We wanted an API that took a URL, crawled the pages in the URL, and gave us an easy-to-use, up-to-date markdown we could feed into our index. So, we released an open-source repo and an API that crawls and turns entire websites into a markdown with just a few lines of code The API handles: - Crawling without consistent sitemaps - Infra to handle running many crawling jobs - Proxying,…

Hey HN! We (Stephan and Thomas) recently open-sourced Semble. We kept running into the same problem while using Claude Code on large codebases: when the agent can't find something directly, it falls back to grep, reading full files or launching subagents. This uses a lot of tokens, and often still misses the relevant code. There are existing tools for this, but they were either too slow to index on demand, needed API keys, or had poor retrieval quality. Semble is our solution for this. It combines static Model2Vec embeddings (using our latest static model: potion-code-16M) with BM25, fused…

Built this because I'm sick of keeping documentation up to date when everyone's using AI tools now. It will not only generate missing docs / update / remove docs as they need alignment, but you can hook up the MCP to whatever agent is being used these days and it'll inform it of codebase conventions & relevant documentation, telling it to update docs as it find them or as it makes changes (in the same PR as related work), and reduces spend on tokens by getting things right the first time without having to grep the whole codebase for context or go through 5 rounds of "follow our…

Hey HN, We’ve been building browser agents for a while. In production, we kept converging on the same pattern: deterministic scripts for the happy path, agents only for edge cases. So we built Demonstrate Mode. The idea is simple: You perform your workflow once in a remote browser. Notte records the interactions and generates deterministic automation code. How it works: - Record clicks, inputs, navigations in a cloud browser - Compile them into deterministic code (no LLM at runtime) - Run and deploy on managed browser infrastructure Closest analog is Playwright codegen but: - Infrastructure…

Hey HN, we're Lennert and Rauf. We’re building Airweave (https://github.com/airweave-ai/airweave), an open-source tool that lets agents search and retrieve data from any app or database. Here’s a general intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFI-7SYGQ48, and here’s a longer one that shows more real-world use cases, examples of how Airweave is used by Cursor (0:33) and Claude desktop (2:04), etc.: https://youtu.be/p2dl-39HwQo A couple of months ago we were building agents that interacted with different apps and were frustrated when they…

Trails▲81Hey all, Justin here. I previously built Phind, the AI search engine for developers. One of the biggest problems we had there was figuring out what went wrong with bad searches. We had tons of searches per day, but less than 1% of users gave any explicit feedback. So we were either manually digging through searches or making general system improvements and hoping they helped. This problem gets harder with agents. Traces are longer and more complex. It takes more effort to review them, so I'm building a tool that lets you analyze LLM outputs directly to help developers of LLM apps and agents…

Coding agents spend a lot of time in the shell. When exploring a codebase, they usually reach for the same handful of tools: grep, find, ls, cat. We built a public SSH server that hosts Supabase docs as markdown files so that agents can explore them the same way they explore code: ssh supabase.sh grep -rl 'RLS' docs ssh supabase.sh cat docs/guides/database/postgres/row-level-security.md | head -10 Under the hood commands run inside Vercel's just-bash [1] library - an emulated bash shell sandboxed within the JS runtime. It uses a VFS where the docs are mounted as markdown…

It’s well known at this point that documentation needs to be optimized for AI agents - we’re all pointing our Claude Code / Codex / Pi agents at documentation, and expecting the models to figure out how to implement a product. This, however, changes the entire optimization problem when writing documentation. Good documentation now becomes more objective - you are solving the very concrete problem: can a dumb harness running the dumbest model implement this reliably? Humans can typically compensate for inconsistent terminology or scattered context across pages, but for agents, this…

Hey HN, Thijs here! I'm the founder of Prototyper and today we're launching the first visual canvas built for agents. Couple of interesting lessons from building the product that I think are worth sharing: For the agents, everything is a file. In Prototyper, everything from plans, to apps, and diagrams, can be read as a file. We found that a filesystem is the most natural way for an agent to navigate: it discovers new content and functionality just by traversing the tree. We kept this layer deliberately thin and unopinionated, because it's the substrate, not the experience. It's the…
