    I’ve been building Echo (https://echo.tracerml.ai/), an experiment in making one AI system out of a pool of open-weight models rather than choosing a single model and using it for every task. It started with a simple experiment. I took a group of models, including GLM-5.2, Kimi K2.7 and others, and ran them on the same evaluations. Then I measured what would happen if, for each problem, you somehow knew in advance which models would be useful and how their outputs should be combined. That hypothetical system performed substantially better than any individual model in the pool.…

    Hi everyone - My cofounder, Reuben, and I have been working on Echo, a voice & text, mobile-first, note-taking app that uses GPT-4o to organize your thoughts and bring them to life. Download here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/echo-ai-notes/id6503351019 How Echo works: 1. Write or record notes. We recommend going for a walk and just rambling. Echo works well with unstructured thoughts. 2. Echo automatically organizes your notes into topics. 3. You can ask Echo questions, and it will use your notes to generate a response. We launched in the App Store on Sep 3.…

    Hi everyone, I’m a solo developer and I’ve been working on a small tool called Echosnap AI. I built it because I often get ideas while I’m walking or doing something else, and speaking always felt like the fastest way to capture them. Echosnap lets you record a note and instantly get a clean transcript. It can also translate your recordings and help you stay organized with tags and folders. I tried to keep the app as simple and minimal as possible. This is my first time sharing something on HN, so any feedback or suggestions would mean a lot. Thanks for taking a moment to check it out.

    I've made a Hacker News skill for Alexa so people can get tech news while driving, cooking, or cleaning. The first version lists post titles and summarizes articles: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CKVDXC3 I'll have lots of time over the next few months to refine it and add things like - comment summaries - selecting posts by topic, and eventually - answering questions about articles What do you think of the skill? What I should add to it? What do people think about voice assistants in general? To keep in touch, talk to me on Twitter or by email:…

    I have tried journaling many times but nothing stuck. So I decided to make my own app for myself with these features: * Voice first * Private first * AI chat * Automatic tagging, meaning extraction, and semantic retrieval using embeddings stored locally * Export to LLM the AI angle is especially interesting for me. It allows me to ask questions like: * "remind me highlights and crazy nights in the last 3 months" * "How was I feeling during my trip in Spain and how big of a problem was my breakup" * "How would you judge my overall interactions with Marc after I told him about my problems" the…

    Hi HN, I’ve been working on a project called EchoStream, and I’d love to share it with you. As an AI startup founder, the first thing I do every morning is open Hacker News. I look for what other founders are building, check out new GitHub projects, and explore new products. But I started noticing that it was taking me the whole morning just to get through it all. I began to wonder: could an AI help me read Hacker News more efficiently? Could it summarize everything so I can quickly scan through, and then dive deeper into what interests me? And more than that—could it store what I’ve seen so…

    I built this for myself. I make videos, and my biggest bottleneck is figuring out what to say to my audience without staring at a blank page. So I built Scriptmine: a tool that listens to Reddit conversations in my niche, finds high-signal topics, and turns them into scripts. How it works: - Track subreddits and discussions relevant to a niche - Rank topics by engagement/momentum - Generate a hook/body/CTA draft in a chosen voice/format
