AgentSea▲439Today we’re excited to introduce AgentSea, a private AI chat built for sensitive work. When you use closed-source AI models, your data can: – be stored – pulled into training pipelines – shared with third parties That might be fine if you’re making memes or drafting LinkedIn posts. But it becomes a serious risk when you’re pasting contracts, health info, financial data, or business secrets. That’s why we built AgentSea. In Secure Mode, all chats run on open-source models or models hosted on our own servers. Your data never leaves, is never used for training, and is never leaked. Agentsea…

Hello HN! The day has finally come to stop adding features and start sharing what I've been building the last 5-6 months. It's a bit of CrewAI, OpenDevon, LangFuse/Cloud all in one, providing devs who prefer TypeScript an integrated framework thats provides a lot out of the box to start experimenting and building agents with. It started after peeking at the LangChain docs a few times and never liking the example code. I began experimenting with automating a simple Jira request from the engineering team to add an index to one of our Google Spanner databases (for context I'm the…

Viberia▲146Hey HN, This is my take on the agent harness. Everything on an isometric map. Agents are grouped into "buildings" that run in a sequence or a loop; e.g., the CodeForge has an agent that writes a PRD, another one that implements, and a third that reviews. Everything is customizable, you build your own buildings/teams however you want. It's a Tauri app, really light (about 8x less energy than the closest competitor I benchmarked, so it actually runs from a coffee shop on battery). It's macOS only for now, but ping me if you are willing to test the Windows or Linux version. I've been…

We posted here on Monday and got some great feedback. We’ve implemented a few of the most requested updates: - iMessage channel support (agents can text people and you can text agents) Other channels are simple to extend. - A built-in browser (agents can navigate and interact with websites) - Scheduling (run tasks on a timer / cron/ in the future) - Built in tunneling so that the agents can share local stuff with you over the internet - More robust MCP and Skills support so anyone can extend it - Auto approval for agent requests If you didn’t see the original: Outworked is a…

Atomic▲140Hey HN, I’ve been building Atom (https://github.com/rush86999/atom), an open-source, self-hosted AI automation platform. I built this because while tools like OpenClaw are excellent for one-off scripts and personal tasks, I found them difficult to use for complex business workflows (e.g., managing invoices or SaaS ops). The main issue was State Blindness: the agent would fire a command and assume it worked, without "seeing" if the UI or state actually updated. I just shipped a new architecture to solve this called Canvas AI Accessibility. The Technical Concept: Instead of…

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…
