24 alternatives to Captain, AI Travel Agent

I’m a software designer from Lagos exploring conversational interfaces and frameworks for building agents. I made Captain to help with everyday travel planning. It can explore an itinerary, check live flight prices, or watch for the right time to book. Captain is a Telegram bot powered by a generalist model (anthropic/claude-sonnet-5), with specialist models handling workflows such as trip interpretation and voice transcription. It also includes a visual workspace where users can review the agent’s work and directly manipulate their travel information. I'm building the agent to explore…

    Viberia▲146

    Hey HN, This is my take on the agent harness. Everything on an isometric map. Agents are grouped into "buildings" that run in a sequence or a loop; e.g., the CodeForge has an agent that writes a PRD, another one that implements, and a third that reviews. Everything is customizable, you build your own buildings/teams however you want. It's a Tauri app, really light (about 8x less energy than the closest competitor I benchmarked, so it actually runs from a coffee shop on battery). It's macOS only for now, but ping me if you are willing to test the Windows or Linux version. I've been…

    I made this experimental art project/game that's an LLM chat assistant, but where you're the AI. I wanted people to get a visceral sense of what it's like to answer the kinds of things that people prompt their chatbots day in and day out. If you're interested, I wrote up some more info on how I made it, including how the "user" prompts are generated with an eye for realism: https://bethechatbot.com/about Hope you enjoy it! I'd love to hear people's takeaways.
