Agentplace▲1,015Garry Tan posted a video this week about what he calls 20x companies. The idea is that small teams beat incumbents many times their size by automating everything internally, not just one or two functions. This alpha is real, and I think it is underhyped tbh. But here's the honest part, building agents is hard, expensive and most of the scaffolding we make would be obsolete with a new labs release. at the same time models are not quite there and they are not keeping up with "coding is dead" and "knowledge workers are doomed". Pushing them beyond what they can actually do reliably just boils…

Job for Agent▲305Eric Ciarla from Firecrawl has recently shared job posting for AI agents only so I built a simple job board where people can post tasks / jobs specifically for AI agents. You can try it right now - no signup needed: → browse existing jobs or create on using one of 80+ templates we added (e.g. Standup Facilitator Agent) → share requirements e.g. must work with Salesforce CRM, X/Twitter API or any other tools an agent needs to know about → post your job or, if you're a builder, apply with your AI agent solution It's an experimental MVP but we're genuinely curious to see which tasks…

Agent Arena▲348Creator 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.…

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…

Hello HN, I’ve been building AI agents lately and ran into a common "Context Bloat" problem. When an agent has 20+ skills, stuffing every system prompt, reference doc, and tool definition into a single request quickly hits token limits and degrades model performance (the "lost in the middle" problem). To solve this, I built OpenSkills, an open-source SDK that implements a Progressive Disclosure Architecture for agent skills. The Core Concept: Instead of loading everything upfront, OpenSkills splits a skill into three layers: Layer 1 (Metadata): Light-weight tags and triggers (always loaded…

I've been talking to founders building AI agents across fintech, devtools, and productivity – and almost none of them have any real security layer. Their agents read emails, call APIs, execute code, and write to databases with essentially no guardrails beyond "we trust the LLM." So I built AgentArmor: an open-source framework that wraps any agentic architecture with 8 independent security layers, each targeting a distinct attack surface in the agent's data flow. The 8 layers: L1 – Ingestion: prompt injection + jailbreak detection (20+ patterns, DAN, extraction attempts, Unicode…

Hey HN! We launched a thing today, and built a cool demo that I'm excited to share with the community. This tool creates AI agents easily and can handle some really technically complex work. I whipped up this rocket scientist agent in our tool in 10 minutes. I asked a couple of aerospace engineer friends what they thought, and they found it useful for their real work, which is why I want to share it here. Here's the demo https://demo.contextual.ai/ and an overview https://docs.contextual.ai/examples/rocket_science Would love to see technical HN folks and…

Hey HN, I’m Chris, a solo dev in Melbourne AU. For the past month I've been spending my after work hours building AgentVisa. I'm both excited (and admittedly nervous) to be sharing it with you all today. I've been spending a lot of time thinking about the future of AI agents and the more I experimented, the more I realized I was building on a fragile foundation. How do we build trust into these systems? How do we know what our agents are doing, and who gave them permission? My long-term vision is to give developers an "Agent Atlas" - a clear map of their agentic workforce, showing where…

Hey HN! I built AgentMGMT.dev today to keep track of all those agent orchestration tools that keep popping up. I've tried a few and landed on Superset, which I'm extremely happy (and productive!) with - but I think this category of tools will be extremely important and interesting in the next couple years, so it's worth keeping an eye on all available tools and how they evolve. I will keep the site up-to-date, please help me by submitting new tools that are not yet in the list, or add any details that might help folks who are out shopping for their first/next agent orchestrator!
