Claw-Coder is an AI agent that runs locally on your laptop and has access to powerful tools instead of configuring claude or codex to use a local model just use claw-coder. Why was claw-coder created? Answer: To solve the problem of privacy and security. When you use an agent that is configured with a cloud model like codex, cursor, Claude etc. You are not just getting the agent but you are giving up your codebase to train an llm which is a bit concerning and this reduces trust in the technology called AI but now another problem comes in performance when you switch to a local model that is…

    Hello everyone , my name is Gabriel Blessed and I have been working in claw-coder for 6 months but I have wanted real user feedback on claw-coder, claw-coder is a local autonomous coding agent that lives in your terminal and I have built it specifically to solve the privacy and security problem, and also bridging the gap between local first and autonomous coding agent perfectly compared to existing product. Claw-coder has access to very powerful tools and uses them really well to solve complex problems from simple coding tasks to building complex applications, if your interested please visit…

    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…

    Hello HN, I don't post on here much, but wanted to get some eyes on a new project I'm just launching. I think we definitely need one more AI code agent.. I'm a long-term C++ dev, and over 30+ years I've created some successful audio dev tools (JUCE, the Tracktion DAW, the Cmajor DSP language). All of these came from me getting annoyed with something I had to use, and deciding to have a go at my own take on whatever it was. So Juggler is my attempt at an AI code agent, after spending too many hours loving what the models could do, but hating the CLI experience, and having some opinions of…

    When we asked developers from large engineering teams, almost everyone is using Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot. But adoption is still inconsistent. Some of us would have 15 agents running in Claude Code at the same time; some would still refuse to use any of them and write code manually. There's a fragmented AI development problem: - Five developers building similar features, and all of them start from scratch - No way to share "here's how we prompt AI to follow our architecture" - No trail of how the AI changes were generated - People leave the company, so does the their knowledge Aviator…

    Hi there, HN! We’re Jai and Sanket from DeepSource (YC W20), and today we’re launching Autofix Bot, a hybrid static analysis + AI agent purpose-built for in-the-loop use with AI coding agents. AI coding agents have made code generation nearly free, and they’ve shifted the bottleneck to code review. Static-only analysis with a fixed set of checkers isn’t enough. LLM-only review has several limitations: non-deterministic across runs, low recall on security issues, expensive at scale, and a tendency to get ‘distracted’. We spent the last 6 years building a deterministic, static-analysis-only…

    Clawlet is a personal AI agent that ships as a single, self-contained binary. No runtime, no package manager, no external database. The main thing that sets it apart: built-in hybrid semantic memory search (vector similarity + full-text) using a bundled SQLite with vector extensions. The index is just a local .sqlite file — no separate vector DB to run. Drop the binary on any machine and memory search just works. GitHub: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mosaxiv&#x2F;clawlet

    Hey everyone, Nathan here: I'm an MLE at Mozilla.ai. I can't tell you how many things around my house I've been saying "I would really like to have somebody take a look at that". But here's the problem: all the people in the trades are extremely overwhelmed with work. There is a lot to be done and not enough people to do it. One of my best friends runs his own general contracting business. He's extremely talented and wants to spend his time working on drywall, building staircases, and listening to Mumford and Sons while throwing paint onto a ceiling. But you know what gets in the way of that…
