    Hey HN, I'm building Plandex (https://plandex.ai), an open source, terminal-based AI coding engine for complex tasks. I built Plandex because I was tired of copying and pasting code back and forth between ChatGPT and my projects. It can complete tasks that span multiple files and require many steps. It uses the OpenAI API with your API key (support for other models, including Claude, Gemini, and open source models is on the roadmap). You can watch a 2 minute demo here: https://player.vimeo.com/video/926634577 Here's a prompt I used to build the AWS…

    Hi HN, We just launched Blocks - an AI platform where anyone can build custom work apps and AI agents in minutes, no coding required. We’re seeing a shift in how software is built and used. With AI, software isn’t just about tracking processes anymore - it can actively help people get work done. The problem is that most teams still face 2 options: either buy off-the-shelf tools that never quite fit, or invest a lot of time and money into custom development. Neither works well. Blocks is the third option. It’s an AI-native platform where teams can create apps and AI agents for their workflows…

    AI changed the way we code, but we're still using the old processes, and we've become the bottleneck, the AI is waiting for us - to reply, to open our laptops, to review the code, and so on. We're building the future of AI software development. The agents are autonomous, they run in sandboxes, automatically fix the pipelines, and deliver you the final, working code. You can use live preview to see the changes they made. Working across multiple repositories, all within the same session. This is the future - you don't need an IDE, and you don't have to run anything locally.

    Hi HN, I’m Michael, I built AgentGrid with my friend Souren because we were tired of losing our coding sessions and couldn't keep track of what was actually being built across our many projects. Our approach was to use an infinite canvas desktop app for the TUIs we already know and love, mainly claude + codex. We drew inspiration from Figma and Railway. Overtime we added image nodes, notes, terminals, coding editors, source control, etc. I wasn't sure about it at first. It took me a month to give the first version Souren built a real try. What got me was an Apple System Update I've been…

    I've been building computer-use tools for a while, and I quietly launched this about a month ago (122 Stars on GH). I figured it was worth sharing here. Over the last few months, a lot of computer-use agents have come out: Codex, Claude Code, CUA, and others. Most of them seem to work roughly like this: 1. Take a screenshot 2. Have the model predict pixel coordinates 3. Click x,y 4. Take another screenshot 5. Repeat That works, but it's slow, expensive in tokens, and fragile. If the UI shifts a few pixels, things break. And the model still doesn't know what any element actually is. But the…

    Hi HN, I've been building Lukan, an open-source (MIT) agentic workstation that runs entirely as a single Rust binary with zero runtime dependencies. I started this because I wanted a unified workstation optimized for my own productivity. My goal was to build an environment where I could securely remote into my machine from anywhere, seamlessly view and modify local files, and run AI agents or drop into a terminal side-by-side, all integrated with a rich set of built-in tools. Here is what makes it different: Multi-agent sessions: Run multiple agents in parallel, each with its own isolated…

    Hi HN! I want to share our latest project at NEXA AI. We developed AI agent foundation models designed to transform how developers create AI agent powered apps. One major challenge we've observed with current human-computer interactions is that many simple, one-step tasks become unnecessarily complex, multi-step workflows due to limitations of current GUIs. AI agents can solve this, but existing AI agent models are slow and costly. To tackle these issues, we built lightweight AI agent models based on our Octopus V2, small language models for function calling (You can learn more about our…

    Hey HN, Small OSS project that i created for myself and want to share with the community. It's a declarative, scriptable, terminal-based IDE focussed on agentic engineering. That's a lot of jargon, but essentially its a multi-agent IDE that you start in your terminal. Why is that relevant? Thanks to tmux and SSH, it means that you have a really simple and efficient way to create your own always-on coding setup. Boot into your IDE through ssh, give a prompt to claude and close off your machine. In tmux-ide claude will keep working. The tool is intentionally really lightweight, because I think…
