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…

PaperPodfree tier, from $0.0001/mo▲85Hi HN, I’ve been working on PaperPod, an experiment in making compute native to AI agents. PaperPod is a sandbox runtime where coding agents like Claude Code can autonomously execute code, write files, run background processes, expose ports (preview URLs) etc. and pay per ms of usage via the agent native x402 payment protocol. No API keys or complex setup needed. This is early (alpha), but fully usable today with free compute included, no wallets needed, just use your email as X-User-Id in the request! A sample prompt to get started: To use PaperPod compute: 1. Get session: POST…

Hi everyone - Looking for feedback for this new open source project we launched. It's called DevPod and it's built on the devcontainer.json standard to create reproducible dev environments. It lets you spin up dev environments in any infra, kind of like a Terraform but for dev environments. Compared to hosted services such as Github Codespaces, JetBrains Spaces, or Google Cloud Workstations, DevPod has the following advantages: - Open Source: DevPod is 100% open-source and extensible. A provider doesn’t exist? Just create your own. - Client-only: No need to install a server backend. DevPod…

Atomic▲140Hey HN, I’ve been building Atom (https://github.com/rush86999/atom), an open-source, self-hosted AI automation platform. I built this because while tools like OpenClaw are excellent for one-off scripts and personal tasks, I found them difficult to use for complex business workflows (e.g., managing invoices or SaaS ops). The main issue was State Blindness: the agent would fire a command and assume it worked, without "seeing" if the UI or state actually updated. I just shipped a new architecture to solve this called Canvas AI Accessibility. The Technical Concept: Instead of…

I've built this to make it easy to host your own infra for lightweight VMs at large scale. Intended for exec of AI-generated code, for CICD runners, or for off-chain AI DApps. Mainly to avoid Docker-in-Docker dangers and mess. Super easy to use with CLI / Python SDK, friendly to AI engs who usually don't like to mess with VM orchestration and networking too much. Defense-in-depth philosophy. Would love to get feedback (and contributors: clear & exciting roadmap!), thx

Hey HN -- I'm Shalin, one of the cofounders of Hyper. My cofounder Kanyes and I have been power users of a lot of second brain type software like Notion and Obsidian for years, and tried fine-tuning GPT-2 back in 2020 to solve this exact problem of giving AI access to all context of my life so it can do work for me more intelligently. We were too early then, and spent the next 4 years building robots at Matic. Earlier this year, we realized this was perhaps the right time to take a second crack at this problem, so we quit our jobs and built Hyper. It's super exciting that we finally shipped…

Hey HN! Excited to share a project we've been working on called Hyperbrowser. It’s a tool that makes scaling headless browsers ridiculously easy. It allows you to spin up hundreds of browser sessions in secure, isolated environments, with sub-second launch times. We automatically solve captchas, use residential proxies and manage concurrent sessions so that you can focus on your own business. The idea for Hyperbrowser came from our own struggles building AI apps and agents like sales tools, automations, and AI editors. Every project seemed to hit the same roadblock: interacting with the web.…

I’ve been working on the next version of Serverpod, an open-source backend written in Dart for the Flutter community. We are getting close to a final release. This version brings stateful hot reload to the full stack (server, database, web, and app).
