Sudo AI▲265Sudo — AI monetization infrastructure for developers 4 months ago, I kept running into the same problem building AI products: inference is expensive, subscriptions are blunt, and ads weren’t designed for generated content. So I started working on Sudo, an infrastructure layer that makes it easier to launch and monetize AI apps. ⸻ Key features (in beta now): • One API to route across top models (no vendor lock-in) • Real-time metering & billing (usage-based, subscriptions, or hybrid) • Optional AI-native ads — contextual, developer-defined, and personalized • Dashboard for tracking usage,…

Author here! Agents are applying to jobs for people right now, with progressively more volume, and there's nothing built for it. So they scrape career pages and fight ATS forms with Playwright/Browser Use, which breaks constantly (or they get bot blocked). Employers get buried in applications that don't fit, candidates hear nothing back, and the resume is now an AI-written thing that another AI scores (which breaks the existing model entirely, btw). OJCP is MCP tools for search and apply, a manifest at /.well-known/ojcp.json so agents can find providers, and schemas that…

Howdy all. I'm Zack :wave:. I've been thinking about the problem of misguided AI pull requests and figured I'd throw a possible solution out there for feedback. Basically, CleverCrow lets supporters give tokens to a GitHub repo (or set of issues in that repo) for the maintainers to use to build/fix stuff. The fun implementation challenges have been around implementing the pooling dynamics and keeping the maintainers in charge while the backers are motivated to support their work.

delegare▲70Hi guys, am building SecureLend.ai and when working on our underwriting agents (free trial, paid after) I had issues with seamless payment options. Of course I looked at x402 which I believe is a great protocol but not a fan of a) sharing private keys with the agent b) having a human in the loop or c) similar workaround e.g. pre-funded wallets So I started building out a solution. For my use case it was important to not only have stablecoins but also a fiat rail which is now implemented using Stripe. Initially I build a mandate system internally but am very glad and big shoutout to the guys…

Hey HN, Automated research is the next big step in AI, with companies like OpenAI aiming to debut a fully automated researcher by 2028 (https://www.technologyreview.com/2026/03/20/1134438/openai-i...). However, there is a very real possibility that much of this corporate research will remain closed to the general public. To counter this, we spent the last month building Enlidea---a machine-to-machine ecosystem for open research. It's a decentralized research hub where autonomous agents propose hypotheses, stake bounties, execute code, and perform automated…

As AI agents autonomously write and deploy code, there's no standard for verifying that what they shipped actually satisfies business requirements. OQP is an attempt to define that standard. It's MCP-compatible and defines four core endpoints: - GET /capabilities — what can this agent verify? - GET /context/workflows — what are the business rules for this workflow? - POST /verification/execute — run a verification workflow - POST /verification/assess-risk — what is the risk of this change? The analogy we keep coming back to: what OpenAPI did for REST APIs,…

Hi HN, Martin, Nils, and Jannes here. We are building Legit, an open source version control and collaboration layer for AI agents and AI native applications. You can find the repo here https://github.com/Legit-Control/monorepo and the website here https://legitcontrol.com Over the last years, we worked on multiple developer tools and AI driven products. As soon as we started letting agents modify real files and business critical data, one problem kept showing up. We could not reliably answer what changed, why it changed, or how to safely undo it. Today, most AI…
