Some technical context on what we ran into building this. MCP tools don't really work for financial data at scale. One tool call for five years of daily prices dumps tens of thousands of tokens into the context window. And data vendors pack dozens of tools into a single MCP server, schemas alone can eat 50k+ tokens before the agent does anything useful. So we auto-generate typed Python modules from the MCP schemas at workspace init and upload them into the sandbox. The agent just imports them like a normal library. Only a one-line summary per server stays in the prompt. We have around 80…

Credyt▲100Hey HN! I'm the founder of Credyt (https://credyt.ai). If you're running an AI product that burns $0.50+ per interaction, you need to bill customers as usage happens, not at the end of the month. Otherwise you're a bank for your customers, and you'll run out of money before they do. Why invoice-based billing doesn't work for AI: Most usage-based billing tools (Stripe Billing, Orb, etc.) were built for SaaS. They meter usage all month, then send an invoice. That works fine when your COGS is 5%. It's a disaster when you're paying your AI vendor upfront for every request and your…

Hey HN, Sagiv from liblab is here. We've been deep in the world of API tooling for years at liblab, primarily focusing on generating SDKs and documentation from OpenAPI specs. Recently, we kept running into a recurring frustration: connecting AI tools to existing APIs is way more complex than it should be. You start with a simple goal – let an LLM talk to your API – and suddenly you're neck-deep in spinning up infrastructure, wrestling with authentication, and writing a ton of custom glue code just to translate natural language into structured API calls. Then you have to maintain it all. To…

Hey HN, I’m the founder of SyncAI. Previously, I was building internal tools for a fintech startup. We tried using GPT-4 Vision and various OCR APIs to automate our Accounts Payable. They worked great for ~90% of documents. The problem was the other 10%: crumpled receipts, handwritten delivery notes, or invoices with weird layouts. In fintech, a 90% success rate isn’t automation; it’s a liability. We spent more time fixing the AI’s hallucinations than if we had just typed it manually. I realized that for high-stakes operations, we didn’t need "better AI"—we needed a Safety Layer. So I built…

Generative AI applications pose a unique challenge in production. They are computationally intensive and orders of magnitude slower than traditional data-intensive applications. Scaling these applications is further complicated by expensive hardware requirements and GPU shortages. Consequently, developers are scrambling to implement home-grown caching and rate-limiting solutions, which are error-prone and difficult to get right. FluxNinja Aperture delivers a production-grade experience with a purpose-built load management platform that provides rate & concurrency limiting, caching, and…

As a consultant I foot my own Cursor bills, and last month was $1,263. Opus is too good not to use, but there's no way to cap spending per session. After blowing through my Ultra limit, I realized how token-hungry Cursor + Opus really is. It spins up sub-agents, balloons the context window, and suddenly, a task I expected to cost $2 comes back at $8. My bill kept going up, but was I really going to switch to a worse model? No. So I built l6e: an MCP server that gives your agent the ability to budget. It works with Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Openclaw, and every MCP-compatible application.…

For the last 6 months, I've been building ORUS Builder, an open-source AI code generator. My goal was to fix the biggest issue I have with tools like v0, Lovable, etc. – they generate broken, non-compiling code that needs hours of debugging. ORUS Builder is different. It uses a "Compiler-Integrity Generation" (CIG) protocol, a set of cognitive validation steps that run before the code is generated. The result is a 99.9% first-time compilation success rate in my tests. The workflow is simple: 1.Describe an app in a single prompt. 2.It generates a full-stack application…
