    DYPAI▲6

    Hey HN, I built DYPAI a backend platform where you describe what you need to your AI assistant (via MCP) and it builds the entire backend for you. Instead of writing API routes or edge functions, your backend is a composition of nodes: database queries, Stripe payments, emails, Slack, WhatsApp, AI agents, logic – all connected as flows and exposed as production API endpoints. One prompt, one endpoint: validate input → check permissions → query DB → transform data → send email → notify Slack → respond. No code. No deploy. Just works. You can build from Cursor/Claude via MCP, see…

    I built 75 developer and AI tools as a single static site. Everything runs in the browser, no cookies, no ads, nothing gets sent to a server. The tools range from the usual suspects (JSON formatter, base64 encoder, regex tester) to some AI-specific ones I couldn't find good free versions of bundled in one suite: - LLM Token Counter (estimates tokens for GPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) - AI Model Comparison (specs, pricing, context windows side by side) - AI Cost Estimator (plug in your usage, get monthly cost projections) - MCP Server Directory (browsable catalog of Model Context Protocol…

    I'm a solo dev in Taiwan. I built 4 AI agents that handle content, sales leads, security scanning, and ops for my tech agency — all on Gemini 2.5 Flash free tier (1,500 req&#x2F;day). I use ~105. Monthly LLM cost: $0. Architecture: 4 agents on OpenClaw (open source), running on WSL2 at home with 25 systemd timers. What they do every day: - Generate 8 social posts across platforms (quality-gated: generate → self-review → rewrite if score < 7&#x2F;10) - Engage with community posts and auto-reply to comments (context-aware, max 2 rounds) - Research via RSS + HN API + Jina Reader → feed…

    Hey HN! I'm Hussam, a Senior Algorithm Engineer at CodiumAI. We launched PR Agent a little over a year ago — it’s a free and open-source tool that helps with reviewing pull requests. The response has been great and more than 70 contributors have added to the project. Today, we're launching PR Agent as a browser extension. Key features: - AI Chat in PRs: You can ask questions about specific code changes and the context is passed to the AI model - Automated Code Reviews: The &#x2F;review command does an automated review, focusing on potential bugs, security issues, and best practice violations…

    I built AgentWeb - a free, structured business directory API designed specifically for AI agents. The problem: AI agents that need real-world business data (phone numbers, emails, hours, addresses) have to either scrape Google (which blocks them) or parse random websites (unreliable). There's no clean data layer for agents to query. What AgentWeb does: 11M+ businesses across 195 countries Full-text + geo search (PostGIS-powered, <50ms) Clean JSON with trust scores and confidence ratings MCP server for Claude Desktop (npx agentweb-mcp) Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain function calling…
