24 alternatives to Blocks
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…

SimplAIfree tier, from $5/mo▲589Hey HN, I've been building SimplAI for the past several months — it's a platform for building, testing, and deploying LLM-powered agents and multi-step workflows. The problem I kept running into: spinning up an AI agent pipeline means stitching together prompt management, tool calling, memory, evals, and deployment — often from scratch every time. SimplAI tries to be the layer that handles all of that so you can focus on what your agent actually does. What it does: - Visual + code-first workflow builder for chaining LLM calls, tools, and APIs - Built-in prompt versioning and A/B testing…

Hey everyone, ML Blocks is a node-based workflow builder to create multi-modal AI workflows without writing any code. You connect blocks that call various visual models like GPT4v, Segment Anything, Dino etc. along with basic image processing blocks like resize, invert color, blur, crop, and several others. The idea is to make it easier to deploy multi-step image processing workflows, without needing to spin up endless custom OpenCV cloud functions to glue together AI models. Usually, even if you're using cloud inference servers like Replicate, you still need to write your own image…

Aident AI Beta 2▲398Hi HN — I’m Kimi, founder of Aident AI. A couple years ago, I cold-started a startup and tried to automate my outreach pipeline with a patchwork: RPA + Zapier + "just some ChatGPT". It worked… until it didn’t. Every time I tweaked the strategy, the automation snapped. The system wasn’t built for change — it was built for wiring. And that’s when it hit me: AI is finally smart enough to do real work, but we still don’t have a clean way to communicate the work to it: Drag-and-drop flows are too rigid; Scripts are too fragile; Prompts are too ephemeral. I kept thinking: why can’t automation be…

Atomic▲140Hey HN, I’ve been building Atom (https://github.com/rush86999/atom), an open-source, self-hosted AI automation platform. I built this because while tools like OpenClaw are excellent for one-off scripts and personal tasks, I found them difficult to use for complex business workflows (e.g., managing invoices or SaaS ops). The main issue was State Blindness: the agent would fire a command and assume it worked, without "seeing" if the UI or state actually updated. I just shipped a new architecture to solve this called Canvas AI Accessibility. The Technical Concept: Instead of…

FlowTask 2.0▲138For years, I was stuck. Trapped in a loop. Every new project, every team initiative – it began with the same soul-crushing setup. Hours. Gone. Not on the actual work, mind you. But on the meta-work. Defining tasks. Sketching forms. Mapping workflows. Hunting for that 'perfect' template that never quite fit. Just trying to get to zero. To a starting line where meaningful work could actually begin. Most project management tools? They're brilliant once things are up and running. Tracking, collaborating, reporting – they nail it. But that initial blank canvas? That moment you’re staring at an…

TL;DR: We built Kanbanq, a minimal task management app for indies and small teams. It keeps Trello’s simplicity but adds proper backlogs, sprints, real-time collaboration and public board sharing. Free while in alpha, feedback welcome --- I’ve been working on Kanbanq with a friend. It’s a minimal task management app we built after getting frustrated with Trello. It was great for simple boards, but it falls apart when you need backlogs (that are more than just a giant list) or want to work in sprints. Kanbanq keeps the same clean feel but adds backlog management (our unique feature), sprints,…

Bleenk▲41I kept running into the same issue whenever starting a new project: the setup phase consumed more time than the actual feature work. Preparing boilerplate, restructuring directories, performing refactors, resolving dependency conflicts, and wiring framework logic consistently took hours before I could write meaningful code. Even with modern tooling, the early-stage workload was nearly identical across projects. To remove that bottleneck, I built Bleenk, an AI coding agent that operates directly on real repositories. Instead of generating isolated snippets, it performs multi-step…
