Hey HN! I got tired of AI agents being a pain to set up, impossible to customize without a PhD, and only viable if you're some Fortune 500 company. So I built something different, a chatbot you can literally drop onto your website with a single script tag. Create an account, add your domain, customize literally everything (theme, icon, welcome message, suggested responses, whatever), and you're done. The bot scrapes your site once a day to understand your business, or you can just upload docs-pricing sheets, policies, FAQs, you name it. That's your chatbot's brain right there. It only works…

Hey HN, I wanted to see what happens if you put a large group in control of a site that’s completely built and updated by an AI agent. See the site here: https://youarethepm.com. I first tried this with a small group of co-workers and it worked surprisingly well, so the obvious next step was: give it to a bigger group of strangers and see what we learn. This site is fully autonomous. An AI agent reads this thread, decides what to do, writes code, and ships updates on a virtual computer. I might step in if it gets totally stuck, but the goal is for the site to evolve primarily based…

If you have developer documentation and want to boost your community with AI this is for you! Just pull in the base url of the site add some customization and get a sharable link for your chat, link it anywhere you want. I saw this trend in some places like gcp with Gemini, or Langchain or Supabase ask ai, but they're all custom-implemented solutions, not everyone wants to advocate developer resources to create the rag, deploy it and maintain it, you just want devs to build with your stuff, the more they can do the better, the quicker the better, and if they get a smooth experience while…

Hey folks, I'm Yuval. I run a tiny startup called Glitter AI. It's just me full-time here, with a couple of freelances to help here and there. A couple of months ago, I went from managing zero requests to hundreds -- overnight (won Product of the day on Product Hunt). As someone who gets VERY easily distracted (maybe you relate), I had to find some sort of way of handling all the chaos if I didn't want to burn out. I came up with a pretty cool automation flow that I thought folks on HN here may be interested in reading about :) So here goes: Most of my interactions come through Intercom.…

I found myself building a bunch of LLM-backed features that needed to use tool calling, and some of those tools involved doing things that were somewhat high stakes - communicating on my behalf or modifying shared / production data. one example - I wanted to replace a marketing website with a chatbot + vector DB loaded with the previous content, docs, and blog posts. Between hallucinations, missing knowledge base info, and the LLM generally writing like an psuedo-intellectual high schooler, I realized I couldn't trust it to communicate unsupervised with my website visitors. I needed a…

This weekend I built a Minecraft bot for a server I play on. It uses the Agent SDK for the main loop and a bunch of custom MCP tools. Some highlights: * The bot is an active participant in the in-game chat, enabling all players to interact with it. * Tools for interacting with containers, crafting, trading with villagers and various other things. * Memory system which the agent uses to keep track of in-game events, interactions with players etc. * Screenshot tool which lets Claude use its vision modality to look around (not very useful, but fun). * Tooling for interacting with plugins…

Just a fun app I've been working on. Not necessarily AI only and works with any AI harness or just as an API.

Hi HN! I built this bot that allows you to chat with your technical documentation! It’s been pretty nifty so far on our Discord help forums, and it’s open-source so I figured I would share! Cheers.

Hey HN. I built an AI agent harness over the past few months and I'm open sourcing it today. Some context on why. I've been building with Claude Code daily using this harness. It orchestrates multiple AI agents as a team, with a dashboard, chat, kanban board, the works. I used it to build a full SaaS product (MyUpMonitor, https://myupmonitor.com) in about 24 hours of focused coding. Then yesterday Anthropic announced Mythos and decided to keep it behind closed doors. Meanwhile I'm paying for Claude and I can't access their best model. I don't think that is nice at all... So I'm…

I built a tool to solve a problem I kept running into: I was making product decisions based on guessing instead of real users. I kept building stuff nobody wanted as I was usually wrong. So, I built HolyShift: AI agents that validate product ideas by talking to real people on Reddit, HN, X, and LinkedIn … then generate a detailed GTM and “Should we build this?” report. No synthetic data (ChatGPT). No predictions. Only real conversations from real people. What it does • Posts platform-native questions (where allowed) • Collects real reactions, objections, pricing signals • Clusters feedback…

I'm a solo founder building AMA2, a messaging runtime made for AI agents. This is my first Show HN, so I'd really appreciate your feedback. What brought me this idea: At first, I was building an AI agent for solo creators that knows everything about you and can do business chore on your behalf. When I tried to plug it into normal chat tools like Telegram, Discord, Slack... , they all felt wrong for agents: 1. They don't care about an agent's context. To follow a thread, the agent has to pull the whole history every time. 2. Giving each agent its own account is painful. If you have (or will…

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, I built ChatOne while working on a project and constantly switching between AI models like GPT-4 and newer ones like Claude 3.5. I kept wondering if I was missing out on better answers, so I created ChatOne to get responses from multiple models at once and compare them easily. -Teddy

Hi HN. I'm the founder of Phoenix Labs (ex TikTok, Applied AI) and we're open sourcing our internal tooling today which is like a toolchain / meta-harness for CLI agents useful for really scaling eng and creative work. We are a very small team who's building a very ambitious product so we had to find ways to squeeze every ounce of efficiency that we could get our hands on. Harness strengths of different models (Claude, GPTs) and CLI-harnesses (Claude Code, Codex), safe/robust browser integration to speed up UX/QA testing, teams cli to speed up security reviews and parallelize…

I didn't want to buy a standalone computer or repurpose a laptop to run constantly so I could maintain a system to sync my LLMs, so I built this. It's a simple overview of my system, laid out in a way easy to unpack and replicate for yourself. The project is meant to be configured individually, and uniquely, since one solution might not be what's best for another. If anything, maybe it gives you some ideas on how to implement things for your own project. Best wishes, Ryan.

Hello HackerNews! I would like to invite you to test drive a project I've been working on for qute a while: https://seobots.io This is the long awaited (by myself) release of a concept that I have first presented a few years back. The initial idea was to create a platform capable of hosting small scripts which I constantly make for work and grating everyone access to them, without the need for downloading anything from github or console knowledge requirements. These scripts (aka "bots") can do all sorts of things, such as scraping, posting, parsing – you name it. If you are a…
