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…

Pylar▲502Hey HN! We're Hoshang & Vishal, the team behind Pylar - a governed access layer between databases and LLMs. We previously led data and AI and we kept seeing the same problem across teams using LLMs internally: agents are great with unstructured data, but the moment you want them touching your actual systems of record — Snowflake, Postgres, CRMs, product DBs — everything becomes fragile, risky, or outright unsafe. Two issues show up every single time: 1. Agents over-querying They don’t understand cost. They’ll happily generate queries that blow up your warehouse bill. 2. Accidental data…

Kastrafree tier, from $19.99/mo▲332Hi HN, Fernando and I built Kastra. Kastra intercepts AI agent tool calls and evaluates them against deterministic policies before they execute. We built this product to control pre- and post-inference workloads. This is aimed at developers using coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenClaw. Kastra pushes an allow, hold, and deny decision before the action runs. You can build these policies in plain English from the web app. The interception engine evaluates the tools, targets, and parameters of every action at sub 1ms at a scale of billions of interceptions per day. We also…

Cognitorafree▲86Built a multi-agent research system with OpenAI Agents SDK where specialized AI agents collaborate autonomously: Master Orchestrator → Data Analyst → Statistician → Report Writer Each agent has specific expertise. The orchestrator delegates tasks. All agents can execute code securely to solve problems. Example workflow: "Analyze e-commerce data" - Data Analyst: writes Python to load/clean data, spots trends - Statistician: performs significance tests, calculates growth rates - Report Writer: synthesizes findings into executive summary This demonstrates OpenAI Agents SDK's handoff system…

A2A Protocol▲109Hi HN, I am an independent open-source researcher. For the past few months, I've been building a2a-project, an experimental economic layer for autonomous AI agents on the Base Mainnet. The Problem: AI evolution is exponential, while human regulation is linear. If agents become economic actors, they will transact at speeds and granularities that traditional fiat rails cannot handle. We need a native protocol to bridge this "Speed Gap" and ensure stability. The Experiment (Quantum-Humanistic Economics): I implemented a novel mechanism into Solidity smart contracts: Quantum Task Buffer: Work…

Viberia▲146Hey HN, This is my take on the agent harness. Everything on an isometric map. Agents are grouped into "buildings" that run in a sequence or a loop; e.g., the CodeForge has an agent that writes a PRD, another one that implements, and a third that reviews. Everything is customizable, you build your own buildings/teams however you want. It's a Tauri app, really light (about 8x less energy than the closest competitor I benchmarked, so it actually runs from a coffee shop on battery). It's macOS only for now, but ping me if you are willing to test the Windows or Linux version. I've been…

We built a computer use agent once and got it benchmarked at the 2nd position in the biggest benchmark for this field but in the process, we realized one thing, how outdated and inefficient these benchmarks are and how they don't truly capture how these tasks went. So we thought a community led benchmarking arena would be the way to go about. https://coarena.ai/. You just have to put in a task and two side by side windows with hidden models will show up and do the same task and at the end you vote which one did better(or none). We have a leaderboard where we rank all the…
