I built Axe because I got tired of every AI tool trying to be a chatbot. Most frameworks want a long-lived session with a massive context window doing everything at once. That's expensive, slow, and fragile. Good software is small, focused, and composable... AI agents should be too. Axe treats LLM agents like Unix programs. Each agent is a TOML config with a focused job. Such as code reviewer, log analyzer, commit message writer. You can run them from the CLI, pipe data in, get results out. You can use pipes to chain them together. Or trigger from cron, git hooks, CI. What Axe is: - 12MB…

Hey HN - this is Alexander from Hatchet. We’re building an open-source platform for managing background tasks, using Postgres as the underlying database. Just over a year ago, we launched Hatchet as a distributed task queue built on top of Postgres with a 100% MIT license (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39643136). The feedback and response we got from the HN community was overwhelming. In the first month after launching, we processed about 20k tasks on the platform — today, we’re processing over 20k tasks per minute (>1 billion per month). Scaling up this quickly was…

Hey HN, I’m Surya and I’m excited to show you WarpBuild! WarpBuild provides fast, secure `x86-64` and `arm64` Github actions runners. This speeds up your workloads by 30%, at half the cost, and takes ~2mins to get started. We’ve been seeing pretty good results since we opened up signups a week ago and I’ve shared some numbers publicly here [1]. Currently, we support linux runners for Github organizations (not personal accounts) and MacOS support is coming soon (~Jan). The way the runners work is deceptively simple: Runners are assigned to hardware that is ideal for build workloads with fast…

We recently started to use agents to update some documentation across our codebase on a weekly basis, and everything quickly turned into cron jobs, logs, and terminal output. it worked, but was hard to tell what agents were doing, why something failed, or whether a workflow was actually progressing. We thought it would be more interesting to treat agents as long-lived workers with state and responsibilities and explicit handoffs. Something you can actually see and reason about, instead of just tailing logs. So we built Clawe, a small coordination layer on top of OpenClaw that lets agent…

Hi HN friends, we're Nima (nimabanai) and Craig (cbschind) from Assemble Labs (https://assemblelabs.co) building the hardware context layer for AI to help you write better firmware faster. We’ve built an MCP server that plugs into any AI tool you’re using (Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini, etc.) and brings complete hardware context (schematics, datasheets, etc.) to your existing environment (new app fatigue is real...) with accuracy and in real time. Our goal is to make writing and debugging firmware on custom hardware faster and easier. Try out the free beta release:…

Hi HN, I’m building Waycore, an open-source project exploring what a flexible, offline-first field computer should look like for outdoor, survival, and off-grid scenarios. The core goals are adaptability and resilience: modular hardware (external sensor/tool modules) extensible OS with support for external apps (guidelines in progress) no required internet connection — maps, models, and knowledge work offline optional LTE/Wi-Fi when available and explicitly enabled A major focus is on-device agentic AI, not just chat or image recognition. The AI is intended to: read live sensor…
