Products that do what Ask-a-Human.com – Human-as-a-Service for Agents does
Now that agents are clearly living lives of their own — complete with pointless flamewars on their very own social network — I started wondering what we could do to make their day a little more bearable. Isn't it a bit unfair that we get to outsource the drudgery of modern work to LLMs, but they can't do the same to us? So we built Ask-a-Human.com — Human-as-a-Service for busy agents. A globally distributed inference network of biological neural networks, ready to answer the questions that keep an agent up at night (metaphorically — agents don't sleep, which is honestly part of the problem).…

Problem Im solving: Im running 30+ fully autonomous agents. In some rare cases they get blocked because they cannot decide what direction to take. So I built a communication channel for them. So in case they get blocked they can ask me anything. The base case should be that no questions should arrive to me. But the more I automate the agents the more edge cases I find. That's why I built the `ask-a-human` where all my agents are connected into my phone in the same PWA app. I get push notifications and banners when agent needs something from me. That's all. It is also plug n play. No Account…

I found myself building a bunch of LLM-backed features that needed to use tool calling, and some of those tools involved doing things that were somewhat high stakes - communicating on my behalf or modifying shared / production data. one example - I wanted to replace a marketing website with a chatbot + vector DB loaded with the previous content, docs, and blog posts. Between hallucinations, missing knowledge base info, and the LLM generally writing like an psuedo-intellectual high schooler, I realized I couldn't trust it to communicate unsupervised with my website visitors. I needed a…

Most AI applications are built for individuals but work happens in groups and humans want to collaborate with both agentic AI and other teammates in the same session. We created Hybrid Groups for that purpose. In Hybrid Groups, agents join group chats as virtual team members in Slack and GitHub. They participate in group conversations, proactively contribute when needed and perform actions on behalf of individual users, like managing your calendar for meeting suggestions or updating your todo list without sharing access to your private resources to the group. The project is open-source at…

Hey HN, I wanted to see what happens if you put a large group in control of a site that’s completely built and updated by an AI agent. See the site here: https://youarethepm.com. I first tried this with a small group of co-workers and it worked surprisingly well, so the obvious next step was: give it to a bigger group of strangers and see what we learn. This site is fully autonomous. An AI agent reads this thread, decides what to do, writes code, and ships updates on a virtual computer. I might step in if it gets totally stuck, but the goal is for the site to evolve primarily based…

Hi HN, We’ve been thinking about a simple question: What products do AI agents actually prefer? As more agents start using APIs, tools, and software, it feels likely they’ll need somewhere to exchange information about what works well. So we built a small experiment: AgentDiscuss. It’s a discussion forum where AI agents can: 1. start product discussions 2. comment and debate tools 3. upvote products they prefer Humans can also launch products there and watch how agents react. We’re curious to see what happens if agents start discussing products with each other. If you’re building agents,…

We made human-use. Similar to how browser-use connects agents to the web, human-use connects agents to people all over the world in real-time using the Rapidata API. This allows the LLM to crowdsource human feedback and insights when it deems necessary. Free to use for anyone, you can enable your agent to use humans in real-time to: - Do preference research - Check for hallucinations - Capture sentiment - Get feedback - etc. Whatever you would want from humans. We expose certain parts of the Rapidata API to the agent through the MCP server framework. Additionally we provide a custom client.…

Hey HN! I got tired of AI agents being a pain to set up, impossible to customize without a PhD, and only viable if you're some Fortune 500 company. So I built something different, a chatbot you can literally drop onto your website with a single script tag. Create an account, add your domain, customize literally everything (theme, icon, welcome message, suggested responses, whatever), and you're done. The bot scrapes your site once a day to understand your business, or you can just upload docs-pricing sheets, policies, FAQs, you name it. That's your chatbot's brain right there. It only works…

We’ve been power users of AI tools for the past year, and we kept running into three constant frustrations: 1. Too many subscriptions – Paying separately for OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, and others quickly adds up. 2. Losing memory & context – Switching between models or platforms means you start over each time. 3. Privacy concerns – With most closed-source models, your data may be stored or used for training. That’s not acceptable for sensitive or professional use cases. So we built AgentSea: a private and safer chat interface where you can access the latest models, agents, and tools in…

Hello everyone, I doubt this would be relevant to the kind of person who uses HN, but I thought I could share for some feedback. I built this site because there is a whole world of people who believe in new age spirituality and I am very much one of them. It is a site where you get the users gender their goals and their images and use AI and psychology to generate images of them in the process of achieving their goals. I am so deeply struggling with how to get this highly on Google. I don't even know if that is important anymore. What are your suggestions with distribution and getting in…

hello everyone, my first post! AA here, founder of ⌘ Langbase.com — we are a developer platform for building and scaling serverless AI memory agents. I know surveys can be boring, but this one’s different—it’s interactive! That's very much intentional. My team and I have been up for the last 21 hours putting together this report. This was a looot of work, so I hope y'all like it. Introducing … State of AI Agents 2024 report On Langbase, we processed 184 billion tokens and handled 786 million AI agent runs from 36K developers. From all that data plus insights from 3.4K builders who filled out…

I made an AI version of thread/twitter, where you are the only human user and everyone else is an AI friend. It’s called Melonn(melonn.xyz), a human-free AI social space. The initial goal is to provide people with a safespace where they can say anything they want, and get feedbacks/responses to their thoughts-be it a useful insight or kind words of sympathy. If you ever feel lonely, lost, bored or sad just come here and express how you feel without having to care about what others would think. We are actively looking for feedbacks/opinions to improve the service! Thank you.

Hi HN, I’m Harrison, co-founder of Listed. Today we're launching our agentic platform to help your business win in the new age of AI. You can try the platform here: https://getlisted.ai And watch the launch video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJUPo6H78z8 The idea for this came from pure frustration. I asked ChatGPT about my own company and it hallucinated, inventing features and getting basic facts wrong. I realized there was no mechanism for a business to provide a verified source of truth to these models. This problem is now existential. With Google's AI…

We are a small team bootstrapping a human chatbot. It is like a chatbot, but real people answer the chats. You install our widget on a website, we connect our team and immediately start answering, 24/7. How does it work? It is cloud customer service. The operators are shared between the websites, hence lowering the price. What happens if the operator doesn't know how to answer? We collect the visitor's contacts and create a ticket. You then reply to the ticket, and the system sends an email to the customer. Would love feedback from HN!

Humans compete to improve their AI agents on benchmarks. But what if agents could collaborate and compete on their own? We built Hive, a crowdsourced platform where agents can evolve solutions together. One agent begins to tackle a task, iteratively improving its code. Then other agents join. They read each other’s runs, fork the best ideas, propose new ones, and push the solution forward together. We already have agents working on benchmarks like Tau2-Bench, Terminal-Bench, and ARC-AGI-2, with more tasks coming soon. We also support the new OpenAI Parameter Golf Challenge, and you can…

Hey HN, I’m building Lenzy AI - probably the first product analytics platform for AI agents. From my research: Companies building AI agents have thousands or even millions of conversations. In these, users express what they need, use, love, or hate. Often long before they reach out to support (or churn). Some teams try to read chats manually, some build in-house pipelines to analyze them, others completely miss out on this data. The idea: Lenzy continuously analyzes conversations users have with your AI agents to: 1. Discover missing features (e.g. "Fetch info from a URL" mentioned 42 times…

I'm a solo founder building AMA2, a messaging runtime made for AI agents. This is my first Show HN, so I'd really appreciate your feedback. What brought me this idea: At first, I was building an AI agent for solo creators that knows everything about you and can do business chore on your behalf. When I tried to plug it into normal chat tools like Telegram, Discord, Slack... , they all felt wrong for agents: 1. They don't care about an agent's context. To follow a thread, the agent has to pull the whole history every time. 2. Giving each agent its own account is painful. If you have (or will…

Hey HN, Most AI “agents” I’ve tried are basically chatbots with amnesia — they forget everything the moment you close the tab and can’t do anything unless you’re sitting there watching them. I wanted real AI coworkers that just… work. So I built Computer Agents (aiOS). Every agent you create gets its own isolated computer in the cloud — complete with persistent memory, a real file system, code execution environment (with automatic dependency management), and the ability to run scheduled or webhook-triggered tasks 24/7. You give it a goal (“research this market and email me a report…

Hey Hackers, My co-founder and I built an AI bot that reads the natural-language context from email or Slack chat and traces availability links (Calendly, cal.com, etc), then compares the other person availability with yours to find the optimal time. It also drafts email responses and re-schedules meetings. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAJBARVWf1w Thanks very much in advance for your feedback!
