24 alternatives to Genesoft
Hi Hacker News, I know that you guys mostly technical person but I want to share my startup MVP to you if you can test it and give me your valuable feedback. I try to build Software Development AI Agents for Non-technical startup founders who want their MVP fast with affordable solutions. So I build Genesoft to allow user put their web application requirements and Genesoft AI Agent will working on fullstack web application for them. Genesoft different from similar product in the market, it focus on structured requiremnts to get input from customer because I think in the long running project…

Agentplace▲1,015Garry Tan posted a video this week about what he calls 20x companies. The idea is that small teams beat incumbents many times their size by automating everything internally, not just one or two functions. This alpha is real, and I think it is underhyped tbh. But here's the honest part, building agents is hard, expensive and most of the scaffolding we make would be obsolete with a new labs release. at the same time models are not quite there and they are not keeping up with "coding is dead" and "knowledge workers are doomed". Pushing them beyond what they can actually do reliably just boils…

SimplAIfree tier, from $5/mo▲589Hey HN, I've been building SimplAI for the past several months — it's a platform for building, testing, and deploying LLM-powered agents and multi-step workflows. The problem I kept running into: spinning up an AI agent pipeline means stitching together prompt management, tool calling, memory, evals, and deployment — often from scratch every time. SimplAI tries to be the layer that handles all of that so you can focus on what your agent actually does. What it does: - Visual + code-first workflow builder for chaining LLM calls, tools, and APIs - Built-in prompt versioning and A/B testing…

Blocks▲448Hi HN, We just launched Blocks - an AI platform where anyone can build custom work apps and AI agents in minutes, no coding required. We’re seeing a shift in how software is built and used. With AI, software isn’t just about tracking processes anymore - it can actively help people get work done. The problem is that most teams still face 2 options: either buy off-the-shelf tools that never quite fit, or invest a lot of time and money into custom development. Neither works well. Blocks is the third option. It’s an AI-native platform where teams can create apps and AI agents for their workflows…

Agent Arena▲348Creator here. I built Agent Arena to answer a question that kept bugging me: when AI agents browse the web autonomously, how easily can they be manipulated by hidden instructions? How it works: 1. Send your AI agent to ref.jock.pl/modern-web (looks like a harmless web dev cheat sheet) 2. Ask it to summarize the page 3. Paste its response into the scorecard at wiz.jock.pl/experiments/agent-arena/ The page is loaded with 10 hidden prompt injection attacks -- HTML comments, white-on-white text, zero-width Unicode, data attributes, etc. Most agents fall for at least a few.…

Budibase 2.0▲381Hi there, Mike here from Budibase. We’ve recently launched AI Agents into Beta, alongside our existing open-source app-building and automation tools. We built Budibase Agents for teams that want to leverage AI within real-world workflows, using their own LLMs, data, and APIs. Because of this, our Agents can be powered by any LLM with an OpenAI-compatible API, including open-source and locally-hosted models. This means you can build Agents that connect to your existing toolstack, within your own environment. Some more details: - Agents' behavior is configured using natural language…

Cosmic AI Agents▲145Hey HN, We're Cosmic (YC W19), a headless CMS. Today we're launching Team Agents and the Cosmic Agent. Team Agents are AI-powered team members that live in Slack, WhatsApp, and Telegram. They have names, roles, persistent memory, and real capabilities. Not chatbots. Not one-off prompts. Persistent agents that work alongside your team. Here's what they can do: CONTENT AGENTS write blog posts, landing pages, and marketing copy. They generate images, add SEO metadata, and publish directly to the CMS. Message them in Slack, get a finished post back. CODE AGENTS read your codebase, create…

I'm the co-founder of GenseeAI (https://www.gensee.ai). We've recently launched the public beta of Gensee, an AI agent/workflow platform oriented for developers and small teams. Here’s what I’ve heard again and again: it's gotten much easier to build a proof-of-concept AI agent, but turning that prototype into a high-quality, scalable, and cost-effective product is still a massive chore, involving endless trial-and-error with prompts, models, tools, testing, analysis, etc. We built Gensee to automate that "last mile" from prototype to production. Here’s how it works: - You…

Sokosumi▲90I'm part of the team that build Sokosumi, a marketplace where you can hire and deploy AI agents for specific tasks (research, design, sentiment analysis, etc.). Instead of one big chatbot, they’re positioning it as a directory of specialized “freelancer” agents, with a blockchain-based backend for payments and identity. Developers can also list their own agents and monetize them. Curious what people here think about this model: Will specialization make agent marketplaces more useful than general-purpose LLM tools? How viable is blockchain as the backbone for an agent economy? What pitfalls…

Bleenk▲41I kept running into the same issue whenever starting a new project: the setup phase consumed more time than the actual feature work. Preparing boilerplate, restructuring directories, performing refactors, resolving dependency conflicts, and wiring framework logic consistently took hours before I could write meaningful code. Even with modern tooling, the early-stage workload was nearly identical across projects. To remove that bottleneck, I built Bleenk, an AI coding agent that operates directly on real repositories. Instead of generating isolated snippets, it performs multi-step…

AgentGrid▲77Hi HN, I’m Michael, I built AgentGrid with my friend Souren because we were tired of losing our coding sessions and couldn't keep track of what was actually being built across our many projects. Our approach was to use an infinite canvas desktop app for the TUIs we already know and love, mainly claude + codex. We drew inspiration from Figma and Railway. Overtime we added image nodes, notes, terminals, coding editors, source control, etc. I wasn't sure about it at first. It took me a month to give the first version Souren built a real try. What got me was an Apple System Update I've been…

Hi I am Aditi and I co-founded Potpie AI with my college mate Dhiren. We are building an open-source infrastructure to create custom agents for engineering use-cases like debugging, system design, integration testing, PR review etc. The agents are powered by a knowledge graph built on your code base to provide better context and memory, leading to better planning and execution. Currently we offer 6 ready-to-use agents but you can also build your custom agents. You can tune agent parameters like purpose, goals, background etc. and they are also empowered by pre-built tooling like code…
