    Clark▲264

    Hey folks, I've been building Clark solo, with the aim to match Manus agent (I really like it!) in features and capabilities, but also in its relentless ability to just complete tasks while using browser, computer etc. So far I think I've achieved 1:1 core feature parity: 1) computer use agent 2) browser use in same thread 3) wide and deep research - clark calls clark 4) integration with google tools Would love to have community feedback and for you to try it out, a couple thousand people already using it daily for very broad use cases. You can use this referral link, that hopefully works…

    I’ve spent the last two months building AgenticSeek, a privacy-focused alternative to cloud-based AI tools like ManusAI. It runs entirely on your machine—no API calls, no data leaks. Why AgenticSeek? Optimized for local LLMs (developed mostly on an RTX 3060 running deepseek r1 14b). Truly private: All components (TTS, STT, planner) run locally. More responsive than alternatives (we respond fast to issues + active Discord). Designed to be fun—think JARVIS-like voice control, multi-agent workflows, and a slick web UI. Current Features: Web browsing (research + form filling), code…

    Local▲107

    Super excited to launch our new app Local today. What we’ve learned at Base Compute over the last months is that running AI directly on your laptop or workstation gives you maximum privacy and it’s free, but it’s also a massive headache to configure. So we’ve decided what matters is making the experience completely frictionless for users. Local analyses the hardware of your laptop, optimises the AI for it, and recommends the best models for your specific device. It let’s you do what you’re doing with cloud AI already, just for free and on your own machine: Chatting with PDF’s, Recording and…

    Hello Hacker News! We're Yangqing, Xiang and JJ from lepton.ai. We are building a platform to run any AI models as easy as writing local code, and to get your favorite models in minutes. It's like container for AI, but without the hassle of actually building a docker image. We built and contributed to some of the world's most popular AI software - PyTorch 1.0, ONNX, Caffe, etcd, Kubernetes, etc. We also managed hundreds of thousands of computers in our previous jobs. And we found that the AI software stack is usually unnecessarily complex - and we want to change that. Imagine if you are a…

    Hey HN, Chatbots are amazing at conversation. They suck at getting shit done while you’re sleeping, in a meeting, or at the beach. So I built Computer Agents: real AI coworkers that each get their own isolated computer in the cloud. What actually happens when you create one: It boots its own persistent workspace (files, code, memory, everything survives forever) You give it a goal + tools/skills It runs 24/7 on cron, webhooks, or just “keep working until done” You get results via email, Telegram, or just check back whenever No more “remember this for next time.” It literally…

    AI that actually controls your Windows/Mac desktop - clicks, types, automates workflows across any application. Native OS integration, not cloud APIs. Built this because I was tired of AI that could only chat. Free tier (Gemini) + paid tier (Claude) for reliable automation. The AI can automate complex workflows, manage files/emails, control browsers and native apps. Just launched 2 weeks ago. What workflows would you want automated?

    I got tired of the overhead required to run even a simple data analysis - cloud setup, ETL pipelines, orchestration, cost monitoring - so I built a fully local data-stack/IDE where I can write SQL/Py, run it, see results, and iterate quickly and interactively. You get data lake like catalog, zero-ETL, lineage, versioning, and analytics running entirely on your machine. You can import from a database, webpage, CSV, etc. and query in natural language or do your own work in SQL/Pyspark. Connect to local models like Gemma or cloud LLMs like Claude for querying and analysis. You…

    Hi HN, I’m the creator of Cordum. I’ve been working in DevOps and infrastructure for years (currently in the fintech/security space), and as I started playing with AI agents, I noticed a scary pattern. Most "safety" mechanisms rely on system prompts ("Please don't do X") or flimsy Python logic inside the agent itself. If we treat agents as autonomous employees, giving them root access and hoping they listen to instructions felt insane to me. I wanted a way to enforce hard constraints that the LLM cannot override, no matter how "jailbroken" it gets. So I built Cordum. It’s an open-source…
