I built this tool because I wanted a way to just take a bunch of URLs or domains, and query their content in RAG applications. It takes away the pain of crawling, extracting content, chunking, vectorizing, and updating periodically. I'm curious to see if it can be useful to others. I meant to launch this six months ago but life got in the way...

HERO▲382Hey HN! I’m Kevin, the founder of HERO. Thank you so much for checking out our launch today. We built HERO because serious work deserves better tools than paper-based documents built with word processors built in the 90s. If your team works on contracts, policies, SOPs, technical specs, or any structured, formal documents, you know the pain: - information buried across multiple files, sections, exhibits, etc. - repeated copy-pasting - outdated definitions - impossible cross-referencing - version chaos - hours wasted searching for the right clause, number, term, or page HERO solves this by…

Deck▲102Hey all, I'm Stasia, founder of Deck. Deck is an AI teammate for busy operators, professionals, and teams that is constantly working in the background. You can email it, use it in the app, sign it up for services you use, email alerts/newsletters, or set it up to run recurring work. It can read project files, summarize messy context, generate or edit decks/memos/sheets, answer questions over your knowledge base, and proactively surface things that need attention. Importantly, it doesn't require blanket inbox authorization to be effective and only emails you. We made email a…

Hello HN! The day has finally come to stop adding features and start sharing what I've been building the last 5-6 months. It's a bit of CrewAI, OpenDevon, LangFuse/Cloud all in one, providing devs who prefer TypeScript an integrated framework thats provides a lot out of the box to start experimenting and building agents with. It started after peeking at the LangChain docs a few times and never liking the example code. I began experimenting with automating a simple Jira request from the engineering team to add an index to one of our Google Spanner databases (for context I'm the…

Maritime▲98Hi HN, my name is Maria, and I’m a co-founder of Maritime. We started Maritime at MIT to build infrastructure for companies that need to run thousands of isolated AI agents for their customers. Imagine you set up an agent like OpenClaw, or a personal assistant agent with a custom framework, and want to give a separate version of it to every customer/friend. Each customer needs their own agent running in an isolated microVM, with persistent state, secrets, triggers, and sleep/wake behavior. Building such scalable and secure infra will take you months and will cost hundreds of…

Rowboat▲89Claude Cowork just launched, bringing agentic AI to everyday work. Rowboat is an open-source alternative that builds knowledge that persists over time. A quick demo is here: https://youtu.be/T2Bmiy05FrI It connects to Gmail and meeting notes (Granola, Fireflies) and organizes them into an Obsidian-compatible vault. Plain Markdown files with backlinks, organized around things like people, projects, organizations, and topics. As new emails and meetings come in, the right notes update automatically. Rowboat is also the primary interface for this vault. You can read, navigate,…

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…
