24 alternatives to Lambda ERP – Open-source ERP you can run through chat
Hi HN, I built Lambda ERP, an open-source ERP prototype where chat is the primary interface. It handles sales/purchase flows, invoices, payments, inventory, double-entry accounting, reports, and chat-generated analytics. There’s a live demo in the README with 3 years of simulated data, plus a Docker Compose setup if you want to run it locally. It is not production-ready yet; I’m looking for feedback on the architecture, the chat-first workflow, and whether this direction makes sense for small teams that can’t afford traditional ERP implementation projects.

Hi HN! During the last few years, I worked on a few applications built with Go, running on AWS Lambda. As I got to know the platform better, I started to find Go & Lambda to be a really productive combination. The applications were fast, and they ended up being much cheaper to run than what my team & I had built before. It’s probably not the best platform for _every_ application, but I was surprised at how much of our workload worked well on it. As we brought new engineers on to our team and helped them get up to speed with the stack, I found that we were covering a lot of the same topics…

We recently open-sourced Hive after using it internally to support real production workflows tied to contracts totaling over $500k. Instead of manually wiring workflows or building brittle automations, Hive is designed to let developers define a goal in natural language and generate an initial agent that can execute real tasks. Today, Hive supports goal-driven agent generation, multi-agent coordination, and production-oriented execution with observability and guardrails. We are actively building toward a system that can capture failure context, evolve agent logic, and continuously improve…

Hi HN! I develop Monadic Chat, an open-source framework that connects language models to a Linux environment via Docker. It allows AI agents to execute code, run Jupyter notebooks, and perform web scraping in a secure, sandboxed environment. Key features: - Sandboxed environment for AI code execution - Support for multiple language models - Easy integration with existing Docker workflows I built this because I needed a reliable way to let AI agents interact with a real computing environment while maintaining security and reproducibility. Some possible use cases include: - Helping developers…

Hi HN community! NOTE: This is a repost due to missing of links I’m excited to introduce Lambda, a project I've been working on.

What is Lambda? Lambda is an open-source social media app that addresses privacy concerns and reduces social media addiction. Here's what makes Lambda unique: - Privacy First: Lambda does not collect personal information beyond your email address for account creation.…
