Hi HN! We’re the team behind Fiddler, and we recently built an Agent Cache feature. It works by capturing an LLM request/response pair and, once caching is enabled, serving subsequent matching calls locally so duplicate requests never hit the provider. It’s meant to reduce three pains that show up together in agent development: token cost, feedback-loop latency, and output non-determinism. We’d love to hear your thoughts.

AgentWatch▲12Hi HN, I’m a solo developer and built AgentWatch to solve a problem I kept running into while building AI agents: preventing runaway loops and unexpected LLM spend before requests reach the model. AgentWatch sits in front of OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Groq, and others to enforce budgets and runtime policies. I’d really appreciate your feedback. If you’re building AI agents, does this solve a problem you’ve experienced? I’d also love to hear what you’d improve or challenge.

We created autonomous AI Agents that monitor the stock market for you while you go about your day. How it works: Tell our AI Assistant what you want to monitor, and it creates a project for our team of autonomous AI Agents. You'll get notifications (email + app) when significant events matching your criteria are detected. For short-term projects, you'll be notified when your analysis is ready. Behind the scenes: When you give the AI Assistant a request to monitor an entity (like a stock or group of stocks), an AI Project Manager plans the project and breaks the project down into manageable…

Hi HN, I'm one of the creators of HoundDog.ai (https://github.com/hounddogai/hounddog). We currently handle privacy scanning for Replit's 45M+ creators. We built HoundDog because privacy compliance is usually a choice between manual spreadsheets or reactive runtime scanning. While runtime tools are useful for monitoring, they only catch leaks after the code is live and the data has already moved. They can also miss code paths that aren't actively triggered in production. HoundDog traces sensitive data in code during development and helps catch risky flows (e.g., PII…

Hi HN, we're Kiran and Vijay! Over the past two years, we have built a columnar storage engine for observability: logs, metrics, and traces. Today, it's exciting for us to show what we've built on top of that foundation: LLM Agent Observability. Given how non-deterministic agents are, storing all traces without sampling was critical for us. But these traces tend to be in the MBs, sometimes GBs - we needed to store them inexpensively. We also needed the queries and analyses to be fast. To meet both these goals, we store them in S3 in our own parquet-like file format, and query them using AWS…
