Products that do what Coyote – Wildly Real-Time AI does
Hey all, we just shipped coyote. it's an ai assistant but built different — everything runs async and feels way more natural. You text it, it handles work in the background and you can keep talking to it. No more stop button. Instead of creating another app we put it in WhatsApp (iMessage coming soon) so you can just text it for free and get the feeling. The core idea: most ai assistants make you sit there waiting for an answer. coyote's like texting a friend. you ask it to grab something for you, they say "on it," and you just keep chatting while it's out getting it. no awkward silence, no…

Sup HN! Dipanshu and Rushant here from Caspian. One is a functional programmer and the other has been deploying AI employees. Together we realized how agents have communication bottleneck. Given the coming agentic economy, we had a thought experiment on what can be the key infrastructure for agents as they get better. Our inspiration for solving for communications infra came from our own time spent just setting up comms while we were deploying open claw for companies plus we noticed about 15%+ of issues in Openclaw and Hermes were that of comms. So we abstracted the headache of reliable…

Hey HN community! Like many of you, I spend most of my day in text conversations. One day I found myself switching between group chats and various AI apps, and thought, why can't AI just live where we already chat? So I built TextAI. It's an AI that works right in your SMS app. No new app to download, no platform to learn. Just text +15626840069 to start chatting or add it to any group chat! The tech and stack details: - Native SMS/MMS integration with context management across conversations - Handles multiple participants, learns group preferences, and scales for concurrent chats -…

I'm a Machine Learning engineer. Struggled with consistency for months on my goals, life etc, so I built something to help myself (zropi.com) but that surprised me or shocked me literally. It’s an AI companion that feels alive: chats like a person. Pauses, emotions, personality. Sends voice notes when it's excited about something or whenever it wants (has its like own mind). Shares photos of itself. But the memory It remembers EVERYTHING. Not just facts context, preferences, random things I mentioned. Last week I asked "how's that thing I told you about going?" and it knew exactly what I…

Hi HN, I'm the creator of AVA - AI Voice Agent for Asterisk My repo was shared here once before by someone else so I wanted to follow up with the progress since then. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46380399 I've been working with Asterisk/FreePBX systems for years. I wanted to add AI voice capabilities to legacy phone systems without paying per-minute SaaS fees or ripping out the entire telephony stack. So I built AVA, a self-hosted AI voice agent that can integrate into any traditional phone system. While most solutions demand expensive migrations to cloud-only…

Hi everyone, nice to meet you and I am a newcomer of HN. I have made a binary tool Aih that could communicate with Bard, ChatGPT, Claude, and Llama(HuggingChat) from the terminal. https://github.com/Databingo/aih Since CAPTCHA challenges and bots detecting have become increasingly difficult, I've changed my strategy from hacking the APIs to simulating a real browser's action. The tool first takes the logged-in cookies of Google, ChatGPT, Claude, and HuggingChat accounts from the real Chrome browser, then it opens an invisible instance of Chromium for communication, then…

Just a fun app I've been working on. Not necessarily AI only and works with any AI harness or just as an API.

I have a weird habit of guessing whether something's AI before I check, especially on LinkedIn and Reddit (for obvious reasons). The detectors I used to confirm were mostly junk and built to sell you a "humanizer" upsell, so I went and read the actual research on what gives AI text away in 2026, then built my own (no login and free) The main sources I used are these: https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.07016 https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.07183 https://aclanthology.org/2025.coling-main.426/ https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.16107…

Website / Download: https://www.readyrunner.ai Overview Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgdlh_aL7P8 I built ReadyRunner with my friend Kaz. We’ve been hacking on software projects together for 15 years. We wanted an AI chat tool that runs on desktop and has a clean UI, so we built ReadyRunner. ReadyRunner has 3 chat types: - Assistant Chat: Standard AI chat with a customizable library of system message prompts - ScratchPad: Collaborate on text/code with the AI in an editor alongside the chat (ScratchPad video:…
