Products that do what Gui.new – The Visual Layer for AI does
Hey HN, I built gui.new. You paste one line into ChatGPT or Claude, and from that point on, whenever you ask for something visual (a dashboard, chart, form, report) it renders it as a live shareable link instead of dumping HTML in your chat. The prompt: "Read https://gui.new/docs/llms.txt - use gui.new to render any visual output as a shareable link. Apply this anytime you'd normally show a table, chart, dashboard, or UI mockup." That's the whole setup. Your AI reads the spec, starts using it, and every visual output becomes a clickable URL you can share with anyone.…

I think agent-first chat interfaces will be a primary software modality and busy dashboard/UI will go away. I’m not sure who exactly wins it, but I want my knowledge to grow/go with me. A lot of the “knowledge” ie research, analysis, reasoning will be done by agents as the primary user. Our current notes tools & tasks management systems were built for humans… I don’t care what the 17th thing on my bug backlog is. I want to conduct agents that can execute for me and do great work. What I built OzBrain to do: + Create a central place for agent reasoned knowledge to live + Be agnostic…

VizGPT provides a chat interface to make and edit data visualizations. Not only can it create visualization with natural language query, but you can continue transform or edit your visualization in context. You can build complex visualization with chatting step by step instead of design a large prompt at once. There exist lots of great visualization product in the world, such as tableau, pygwalker. Traditional drag-and-drop visualization tool is hard to use for people who are not familiar with configs and viz/data transformations. For example, making a heatmap in tableau requires to…

Hey HN! I built Experiment to solve a common frustration in LLM development: the lack of proper tools for prompt engineering experimentation. Here's what makes it different: Key Features: - Load and edit chat completion logs from CSV files - Fork and modify specific conversation entries - Run inference via Anthropic, Mistral, and OpenAI - Define custom tools using JSONSchema format - Visual tool usage analysis with collapsible, sorted key-value pairs - Full mobile support and available as installable PWA Technical Highlights: - Built with React using custom isomorphic architecture -…

Thesys just open-sourced their generative UI rendering engine. Interesting timing given where Google a2ui and Vercel's json-render are headed. The difference worth noting: a2ui and json-render both treat JSONL as the contract between the LLM and the renderer. Thesys is betting that's the wrong primitive. Their engine uses a code-like syntax (OpenUI Lang) instead — LLM writes it, renderer executes it. The argument is that LLMs are fundamentally better at generating code than generating structured data, so you get cleaner output and ~67% fewer tokens. The broader vision seems to be a…

I built Codag because I kept getting lost in my own AI code. You're chaining 3 LLM calls across 5 files. A prompt change breaks something downstream. Which call? Which branch? You grep for "openai.chat", open 8 tabs, trace the flow manually. Codag automates this: - Point it at your codebase and it extracts every LLM call, decision branch, and processing step - Renders an interactive and shareable DAG with clickable nodes that link back to source - Live updates as you edit using tree-sitter — no waiting for re-analysis Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, and…

Hi HN, I’m excited to share LocoStudio (http://locostudio.ai), a local-first AI chat app for Mac that lets you chat with AI models both locally and in the cloud—all in one place. Why I built it: I wanted a private, fast, and flexible way to use the latest AI models without sending my data to the cloud. Most AI chat apps are either cloud-only (raising privacy concerns) or have clunky interfaces for local models. LocoStudio aims to make local AI chat as easy and powerful as using ChatGPT, but with your data staying on your device. What it does: - Private, local-first: Run open models…

800M people use ChatGPT and Claude weekly. Right now they get text responses. Soon they'll get real interfaces: product cards, blog posts, booking flows, payment screens rendered directly in the conversation. We built an open-source component library for this. Install any block with one command and customize it to your brand. If you're building MCP servers or experimenting with AI-native apps, this might save you time. Are you building apps for AI assistants? Would love to hear what's missing in your workflow.

I found myself jumping between ChatGPT, tabs, and docs, but never building real understanding. This is my attempt at fixing that — for researchers, curious readers, and lifelong learners. Would love your thoughts on the interface, and whether this would be useful in your own work or otherwise.

Hi HN, I’m excited to introduce Mode, now in early access! Mode is a Visual Studio Code extension I’ve been working on, acting as your personal AI code copilot. It’s a reliable backup to coding tools like Cursor, especially when you run out of free tokens. Try it out here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=aruna-la... Why Use Mode: Bypass Token Limitations: If you find yourself copy-pasting code into ChatGPT or Claude after running out of free tokens, Mode is for you. Mode lets you to use your own API keys and subscriptions, giving you uninterrupted, seamless…

All LLM user interfaces I've seen so far are somewhat frustrating: * ChatGPT web requires a lot of copy-paste, it rewrites whole document even if you need to update a part of it, etc. * Github Copilot completions are rather unreliable and do not leave an option to specify what you want; Copilot's chat sidebar is little more than ChatGPT integrated into the IDE * Google Docs have right UI for non-code text, but they use really dumb model (not Gemini 1.5 Pro). Also won't work for code. So... I wrote a Emacs Lisp function which calls LLM with contents of the buffer to generate text according to…

Hi all, I threw together a small prototype I am calling “Notepad.ai”. A new take on UIs for interacting with LLMs. While I enjoy using LLM’s in the chat format I wanted to see what it would be like to do it in a more long form style. It let’s you write in a pretty free form, much like Window’s Notepad, but you can choose to hit ctrl+[ to analyze the text with a preset prompt of your choosing. It has a few other small features. It’s WIP and very experimental. I would appreciate any feedback or thoughts. Video: https://youtu.be/ntdlgFmSxQY Live Demo:…

So I've been obsessed with a weird question for the past 6 months, what happens to SEO when everyone starts asking ChatGPT for recommendations instead of Googling? The answer, apparently, is chaos. And maybe opportunity? I built FirstClick because I noticed something strange. My previous startup was getting zero traffic from AI assistants, but our competitor (objectively worse product, sorry not sorry) was getting mentioned by Claude and Perplexity constantly. It drove me crazy. So I reverse engineered why. Turns out there's a whole new game being played and most founders don't even know it…

Hi HN, UML diagrams were meant to standardise system design, but they’ve become outdated — slow to build, hard to change, and rarely used in practice. Most tools feel clunky, and diagrams often go stale fast. I’m building RapidChart, a tool to bring diagramming back to life — fast, flexible, and developer-first. What makes it different: Cursor-style interface for rapid diagram creation Fully customisable and exportable AI-assisted (works with GPT-4, Claude, etc.) 100% free This began as part of my research at Imperial College London, and I’d really value your feedback. Here’s the link:…

ChatOSS is built on Ollama. If you use Ollama, ChatOSS local works out of the box. ChatOSS is a GUI desktop app that has multiple agentic coding apps and a kanban board integrated into coding sessions. There's also a simple way to create your own AI powered apps that can run inside of ChatOSS.

After fine-tuning GPT for a personal project, I realized how tedious it is to write plain text in a massive JSON file. That's why I built this app for my own use, and I want to see if others could benefit from a tool like this as well ;)
