    Construct Computerfree tier, from $9/mo▲378

    We are building Construct Computer a cloud OS where autonomous AI agents ("Constructs") live and do your day to day work. You can observe them in real-time through a desktop OS frontend. The idea is agent-native infrastructure: instead of agents being API calls, they're persistent processes with their own compute, storage, and network identity. With integrations with a vast ecosystem of business tools, the Construct Agent can do anything from scheduling meetings, preparing documents, to deep researching the web, join meetings, and automate long running business operations with minimal human…

    Blocks▲448

    Hi HN, We just launched Blocks - an AI platform where anyone can build custom work apps and AI agents in minutes, no coding required. We’re seeing a shift in how software is built and used. With AI, software isn’t just about tracking processes anymore - it can actively help people get work done. The problem is that most teams still face 2 options: either buy off-the-shelf tools that never quite fit, or invest a lot of time and money into custom development. Neither works well. Blocks is the third option. It’s an AI-native platform where teams can create apps and AI agents for their workflows…

    SimplAIfree tier, from $5/mo▲589

    Hey 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…

    Hey HN, Aymeric here, co-founder of Agemo and maker of CodeWords. Generating nice-looking UIs with AI has been democratized now thanks to tools like Lovable, v0 and bolt. Going from natural language to a complex back-end workflow is still an unsolved problem. We started our journey by researching neurosymbolic methods applied to software/code generation problems and it landed us a feature in the ARC-AGI report last year (https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.04604). We've now applied this research to build an AI-native workflow automation platform to enable builders of any…
