Products that do what Legit, Open source Git-based Version control for AI agents does
Hi HN, Martin, Nils, and Jannes here. We are building Legit, an open source version control and collaboration layer for AI agents and AI native applications. You can find the repo here https://github.com/Legit-Control/monorepo and the website here https://legitcontrol.com Over the last years, we worked on multiple developer tools and AI driven products. As soon as we started letting agents modify real files and business critical data, one problem kept showing up. We could not reliably answer what changed, why it changed, or how to safely undo it. Today, most AI…

Hey HN! I'm one of the cofounders of Sourcebot, an open source alternative to Sourcegraph. Sourcebot lets you index thousands of repos across multiple platforms (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket), and gives you a powerful interface to search across them. You can learn more in our original HN launch post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41711032 We just added an AI code review agent that reviews your PRs and automatically detects issues that a human reviewer may have missed. We've been using an AI code review agent for a few weeks now, and it regularly catches issues that we…

Hi all, Gorkem here. I started VerifyWise [1] to make AI governance less painful. Today, we’re launching our open-source platform to help teams take control of their AI compliance process. VerifyWise helps organizations navigate AI governance by providing audit readiness, risk registers, model fairness checks, and compliance documentation. Those are all built into a single platform you can self-host. We’ve been quietly building VerifyWise for a while, and we’re now at a place where it’s ready for more teams to try. Since we started, we've: - Released our core platform on GitHub:…

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…

Hey HN, I built RepoGPT, an open-source AI tool that lets you interact with your GitHub repos using natural language. Ask it things like: How is auth implemented? List API endpoints. What are the key dependencies? RepoGPT aims to make navigating large codebases easier with AI. Check it out: https://github.com/mbarinov/repogpt You'll need Node.js, pnpm, Docker (PostgreSQL), and an OpenAI API key. Full setup in the README. Feedback and contributions are welcome! Also, I'm looking for remote roles in EU time zones. Thanks!

Hello all, I'm a software developer. Over the last few months more and more of my work has turned into using coding agents instead of typing the whole code myself. Usually a few claude sessions at once, sometimes codex, one per feature or per revealed bug. I ran them in a split terminal for a few weeks, and quickly spotted two main problems. The first is that I couldn't easily tell which agent was stuck waiting on me and which was still working, so I'd cycle through sessions and checking on them. The second one: agents sharing a single branch step on each other. Two of them could be editing…

Today you can easily adopt AI coding tools because you have git for branching and rolling back if AI writes bad code. We haven't seen this same capability for data and decided to build it ourselves. Nile is a new kind of data lake, purpose built for using with AI. It can act as your data engineer or data analyst creating new tables and rolling back bad changes in seconds. We support real versions for data, schema, and ETL. We'd love your feedback on any part of what we are building - https://getnile.ai/ What do you think?

I’ve spent the last 2.5 months building a product that runs LLM-powered code reviews on my pull requests — and I just launched it. The tool is built specifically for solo developers. You install it on your repo, trigger a scan by creating a pull request, and it leaves structured review comments using OpenAI under the hood. Funnily enough, I used the dev version of this app to review its own pull requests while building it. It helped me spot bugs, simplify structure, and keep quality high — all with minimal need for another human in the loop. Things I want to try out in the next months : -…

I built this because I was tired of creating pull requests in 20 repositories just to change a single line of workflow job version. With Infra as AI, just mention the change. Agents work on all repos in parallel, read the docs, make a bunch of PRs and fill in the description. You can see the demo of the actual dashboard in the landing. Let me know your thoughts :) It means a lot to me!

Hey HN Community, I recently found myself knee-deep in a fascinating challenge that I think you'll find intriguing. I'm a backend developer with a penchant for Node.js and SQL, and I've been wrestling with a problem that's both technically intricate and surprisingly common in the world of open-source development. The issue at hand? Duplicate GitHub issues. They're like weeds in a garden – you turn your back for a second, and suddenly they're everywhere, choking out the valuable discussions and dragging down productivity. So, I set out to build a bot. Not just any bot, mind you, but a Probot…

Last month, the SambaNova team, in partnership with Stanford and UC Berkeley, introduced the viral paper Agentic Context Engineering (ACE), a framework for building evolving contexts that enable self-improving language models and agents. Today, the team has released the full ACE implementation, available on GitHub, including the complete system architecture, modular components (Generator, Reflector, Curator), and ready-to-run scripts for both Finance and AppWorld benchmarks. The repository provides everything needed to reproduce results, extend to new domains, and experiment with evolving…

Hello! Introducing geniusrise, an agent framework and component ecosystem for building AI agent networks that are as flexible as your team. landing page: https://geniusrise.ai (fancy but useless) docs: https://docs.geniusrise.ai (please check this out) github: https://github.com/geniusrise (for dear devs) ## Thought process Since the ChatGPT disruption, I've been pondering on what the tooling layer is going to look like for building LLM-interfacing agents. Saw a plethora of tools coming out as we witness here every week. I'd broadly categorize them into the…

Hi HN, I’m the creator of Cordum. I’ve been working in DevOps and infrastructure for years (currently in the fintech/security space), and as I started playing with AI agents, I noticed a scary pattern. Most "safety" mechanisms rely on system prompts ("Please don't do X") or flimsy Python logic inside the agent itself. If we treat agents as autonomous employees, giving them root access and hoping they listen to instructions felt insane to me. I wanted a way to enforce hard constraints that the LLM cannot override, no matter how "jailbroken" it gets. So I built Cordum. It’s an open-source…

Hi there, I've created this side project to make it easier to find interesting repositories using AI. There's still a lot of work to be done to improve it, so any suggestions for enhancements would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hey hackers, the world needs more AI researchers with good taste, and hardcore software folks have some of the best. Many software friends mentioned they learn better from implementations than from papers, but existing open-source examples rarely go beyond basic nanoGPT-level demos. To help bridge that gap, I spent the last two months full-time reimplementing and open-sourcing a self-contained implementation of every major modern deep learning technique from scratch. The result is beyond-nanoGPT, containing 20k+ lines of handcrafted, minimal, and extensively annotated PyTorch code. I'd love…

Hi HN! GitSummarize is an open-source devtool that I made this weekend. Given any public GitHub repository it generates high-quality documentation from the codebase using Gemini 2.5 Pro. Specifically, it tries to extract the tribal knowledge, business logic/rules embedded within codebases. Pro Tip: You can replace "hub" with "summarize" in any repository URL to access its documentation. I created this because there was a steep learning curve to understanding some of the open-source codebases out there while getting started with contributing. Having detailed documentation would be…
