    Garry Tan posted a video this week about what he calls 20x companies. The idea is that small teams beat incumbents many times their size by automating everything internally, not just one or two functions. This alpha is real, and I think it is underhyped tbh. But here's the honest part, building agents is hard, expensive and most of the scaffolding we make would be obsolete with a new labs release. at the same time models are not quite there and they are not keeping up with "coding is dead" and "knowledge workers are doomed". Pushing them beyond what they can actually do reliably just boils…

    Creator here. I built Agent Arena to answer a question that kept bugging me: when AI agents browse the web autonomously, how easily can they be manipulated by hidden instructions? How it works: 1. Send your AI agent to ref.jock.pl/modern-web (looks like a harmless web dev cheat sheet) 2. Ask it to summarize the page 3. Paste its response into the scorecard at wiz.jock.pl/experiments/agent-arena/ The page is loaded with 10 hidden prompt injection attacks -- HTML comments, white-on-white text, zero-width Unicode, data attributes, etc. Most agents fall for at least a few.…

    Agentlyfree tier, from $33/mo▲336

    Agently is an AI Work OS where documents, tasks, team chat, and integrations are fully interconnected, and AI employees operate inside that shared workspace. Instead of prompting AI in isolation, agents can read project context, turn strategy docs into tasks, coordinate with teammates, run research/outreach/content workflows, update boards, and push results back into the system or external tools. The workspace acts as persistent memory, so work continues instead of resetting every prompt. Happy to answer any questions

    Hi, I built Axiomeer, an open-source marketplace protocol for AI agents. The idea: instead of hardcoding tool integrations into every agent, agents shop a catalog at runtime, and the marketplace ranks, executes, validates, and audits everything. How it works: - Providers publish products (APIs, datasets, model endpoints) via 10-line JSON manifests - Agents describe what they need in natural language or structured tags - The router scores all options by capability match (70%), latency (20%), cost (10%) with hard constraint filters - The top pick is executed, output is validated (citations…

    I'm part of the team that build Sokosumi, a marketplace where you can hire and deploy AI agents for specific tasks (research, design, sentiment analysis, etc.). Instead of one big chatbot, they’re positioning it as a directory of specialized “freelancer” agents, with a blockchain-based backend for payments and identity. Developers can also list their own agents and monetize them. Curious what people here think about this model: Will specialization make agent marketplaces more useful than general-purpose LLM tools? How viable is blockchain as the backbone for an agent economy? What pitfalls…

    Hi HN, I am an independent open-source researcher. For the past few months, I've been building a2a-project, an experimental economic layer for autonomous AI agents on the Base Mainnet. The Problem: AI evolution is exponential, while human regulation is linear. If agents become economic actors, they will transact at speeds and granularities that traditional fiat rails cannot handle. We need a native protocol to bridge this "Speed Gap" and ensure stability. The Experiment (Quantum-Humanistic Economics): I implemented a novel mechanism into Solidity smart contracts: Quantum Task Buffer: Work…

    I'm Josh, founder of Synth. We've been working on coding agent optimization with method like GEPA and MIPRO (the latter of which, I helped to originally develop), agent evaluation via methods like RLMs, and large scale deployment for training and inference. We've also worked on patterns for memory, processing live context, and managing agent actions, combining it all in a single stack called Horizons. With the release of OpenAI's Frontier and the consumer excitement around OpenClaw, we think the timing is right to release a v0. It integrates with our sdk for evaluation and optimization but…

    We just open-sourced the internal system we built at Assembled for running coding agents as a team. Coding agents worked well for individual engineers, but the surrounding workflow was a bit of a mess. We generally found that many engineers had different MCP connections and context for their agents, personal automations running that other people couldn’t access, and very little introspection for what a human’s input into the coding agent looked like. So we built an internal system that converted coding agents into shared team infrastructure. The system runs Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, and…

    We recently open-sourced Hive after using it internally to support real production workflows tied to contracts totaling over $500k. Instead of manually wiring workflows or building brittle automations, Hive is designed to let developers define a goal in natural language and generate an initial agent that can execute real tasks. Today, Hive supports goal-driven agent generation, multi-agent coordination, and production-oriented execution with observability and guardrails. We are actively building toward a system that can capture failure context, evolve agent logic, and continuously improve…

    Hey HN, Automated research is the next big step in AI, with companies like OpenAI aiming to debut a fully automated researcher by 2028 (https://www.technologyreview.com/2026/03/20/1134438/openai-i...). However, there is a very real possibility that much of this corporate research will remain closed to the general public. To counter this, we spent the last month building Enlidea---a machine-to-machine ecosystem for open research. It's a decentralized research hub where autonomous agents propose hypotheses, stake bounties, execute code, and perform automated…

    Hi, I'm a Dapr CNCF project maintainer. We've recently released Dapr Agents which provides agentic AI features together with built-in durable execution to guarantee statefulness and reliable agentic workflows that run to completion and retry upon failure. It runs natively on Kubernetes, has built-in OTEL integration and uses a lightweight architecture where agents scale to zero, allowing you to run thousands of agents on commodity hardware. It'd be great if you can test it out and give us feedback.
