    Hello HN, I don't post on here much, but wanted to get some eyes on a new project I'm just launching. I think we definitely need one more AI code agent.. I'm a long-term C++ dev, and over 30+ years I've created some successful audio dev tools (JUCE, the Tracktion DAW, the Cmajor DSP language). All of these came from me getting annoyed with something I had to use, and deciding to have a go at my own take on whatever it was. So Juggler is my attempt at an AI code agent, after spending too many hours loving what the models could do, but hating the CLI experience, and having some opinions of…

    Hi HN! We just launched Verdent, an AI coding agent that actually plans before it codes, tests its own work, and delivers production-ready results without you having to clean up after it. tl;dr Check out the website [1] and read the story [2] - The problem: Current AI tools dump code and leave you to debug. You ask for "build a login endpoint" and get a passwordless JWT mess that doesn't fit your project. We've talked to hundreds of engineers who are frustrated with having to micromanage AI output. - What we built: Verdent works more like a senior engineer. It asks clarifying questions…

    Hello! We just released freeact (https://github.com/gradion-ai/freeact), a lightweight agent library that empowers language models to act as autonomous agents through executable code actions. By enabling agents to express their actions directly in code rather than through constrained formats like JSON, freeact provides a flexible and powerful approach to solving complex, open-ended problems that require dynamic solution paths. * Supports dynamic installation and utilization of Python packages at runtime * Agents learn from feedback and store successful code actions as…

    Keen Code▲125

    Hello community! I am here to share a coding agent I have built solo from scratch using agentic engineering. Written in Go, it's a proper coding agent, has features you expect from a useful agent for your daily work, with a minimal and simple UI. I have named it Keen Code. The repo is here: https://github.com/mochow13/keen-code Even though it started as an experiment, it is now a full-fledged coding agent for real software engineering work. It supports multiple providers, skills, MCPs, multi-agent orchestration through subagents, automatic compaction, etc. I have been…

    No one’s got money for another AI subscription. So we made our browser agent totally FREE. What's the catch? Just ads while Retriever AI fetches you leads, does your exams, applied to jobs, and sends connection requests. Think like a Claude Code or Clay level tool in your browser, but free for everyone! After 35K+ users and 7M+ workflows, we spent the last few months attacking the cost of every agent step: - switching to DeepSeek Flash - Code Mode to one shot complex workflows - optimizing for 80%+ token cache hits So that now just an ad impression covers the entire cost of the agent (LLM…

    Hi HN, I’m Akshay. I built AMP because I was tired of my AI agents having "amnesia" the moment I closed the terminal. Like many of you, I use Claude/Cursor daily. RAG is great for searching documentation, but it’s terrible for continuity. It chunks text blindly, losing the narrative. When I asked my agent "Why did we decide to use FastAPI last week?", it would hallucinate or just give me generic pros/cons because the specific context of our decision was lost in a vector soup. So I decided to build a proper *Hippocampus* for my agents. *What is it?* AMP is a local-first memory…
