24 alternatives to Logcat.ai:AI-powered observability for Operating Systems(Android+Linux)
Hello HN! I'm an Android OS engineer. I've worked with AOSP and Linux kernels all my career and always wondered about lack of sophisticated tools to debug and analyze system-level logs. Always had to resort to manually skimming through large log files to find something I needed to. With the rise of LLMs and the AI-age, I felt it was a great opportunity to build something for OS engineers, which is what led to logcat.ai! We are building the industry-first observability platform for system level intelligence. Think "Datadog for operating systems" instead of applications. Currently, we support…

Hi HN! We’re the team behind Fiddler, and we recently built an Agent Cache feature. It works by capturing an LLM request/response pair and, once caching is enabled, serving subsequent matching calls locally so duplicate requests never hit the provider. It’s meant to reduce three pains that show up together in agent development: token cost, feedback-loop latency, and output non-determinism. We’d love to hear your thoughts.

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…

Intellize.ai is a cutting-edge AI-driven observability platform designed to simplify developers' tasks. With our platform, developers can seamlessly search logs, craft dashboards, and configure alerts using natural language. We envision a future where developer tools offer an intuitive and streamlined experience, ensuring users receive precisely what they request. For example, traditional methods of sifting through logs can be cumbersome due to redundant and extraneous data. One way to address this is to ask Intellize.ai to group similar logs, enhancing clarity and efficiency. Our platform…

Hi HN, I'm Kaushik, and I built Rocketgraph. I believe that while other spaces have caught up to the AI wave, the observability space is still lagging behind, using the same tools and dashboards that we use to analyse logs from human-written code. But now the code is written and debugged by AI, so we need to rethink how we do observability where the observer itself is an AI. The problem that I run into is when an alert fires, I have to manually check the Grafana dashboards and write LogQL queries, which is pretty much like greping. But production usually breaks due to a schema mismatch, or a…

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…

Hi HN, we're Kiran and Vijay! Over the past two years, we have built a columnar storage engine for observability: logs, metrics, and traces. Today, it's exciting for us to show what we've built on top of that foundation: LLM Agent Observability. Given how non-deterministic agents are, storing all traces without sampling was critical for us. But these traces tend to be in the MBs, sometimes GBs - we needed to store them inexpensively. We also needed the queries and analyses to be fast. To meet both these goals, we store them in S3 in our own parquet-like file format, and query them using AWS…

Over the past few months, we've been building Prism; a fast, developer-first observability UI that's deeply integrated with our open-source database, Parseable. Prism is designed for engineers who debug distributed systems, sometimes at odd hours, and need answers right now, without having to deal with five different tools. Backstory: We spoke to dozens of observability practitioners in large enterprises. Across the board, we heard two things: (1)The RoI on observability tools is hard to justify. (2)OSS leads to tool sprawl, metrics in Grafana, logs in ELK, traces… somewhere. We wanted a…

Hexar.ai▲15Hello Folks, since quite a while we had been working on an interesting problem which we have experienced and is known industry wide. As someone who works in autonomous robotics, we’ve seen how hard it is to debug hardware + software + behavior when systems fail in the field. Logs aren’t enough. Docs are scattered. People waste time hunting instead of fixing. Also leadership and development teams lacks track of what's the ground-level situation. This all info will be at one place. I'm super excited to finally share Hexar.ai, a canvas based intelligent tool we've been building to help teams…

Hello HN! My name is Max, and I’m a co-founder at Lynx (https://uselynx.ai). We’re building an AI-powered incident resolution platform to help engineers debug and resolve on-call issues faster. If you’ve ever been paged in the middle of the night and had to spend hours piecing together logs, metrics, and code, we’d love your feedback. * The Problem * On-call hasn’t kept pace with modern engineering. Even with great observability tools, diagnosing incidents is slow because: - Systems are increasingly complex. - Logs, dashboards, and documentation are scattered. - Context often…

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…

My partner Matt and I have been working on soj.ooO. It has only been up for a few weeks and has gained a lot of traction. Our goal was to fight the memory hole to ensure that algorithms do not control human discussions (eg auto decay on other sites) and generally bring natural law back into the discussion and relevance equation. Hope you like it!

PAI▲9Hi HN! I've been spending the past month on PAI, a Linux-esque harness for a personal assistant AI for your Mac. Instead of giving a chatbot a bunch of tools, I wanted to just drop the LLM into a terminal and see how it'd fare. I've been using it to manage my calendar, 5+ email accounts, and engaging with / responding to people in a timely manner (casus belli for this entire project). After seeing how other always-on assistants were designed, I thought the Unix / Linux philosophy of system design could be applied to AI harnesses, and I wanted to experiment with how it'd hold up…

Hey HN community! Over the past year, AI copilots like Cursor and Windsurf have fueled a dramatic shift in software engineering workflows. And yet, many technical users in adjacent fields like data science and analytics have been unable to reap the rewards of this revolution. It turns out that the existing tools are a poor match for analytical workloads. Beyond that Cursor and similar tools have very poor support for Jupyter notebooks, data science is a fundamentally different discipline from software engineering and we believe it requires a correspondingly different tool. We're excited to…

Hey everyone, My friend and I built a simple bug fixing app that listens for alerts/issues from Sentry, contextualizes it against your codebase, and any other data sources you wish to connect (right now we support Notion, Google Docs, and Slack), and deploys an ai agent to write a PR for review in Github or Gitlab to solve the bug. Our current demo shows the end-to-end process for a trivial bug fix, but we have been testing it with open source python repos like http-pie, comparing how our agent solves a bug compared to a human engineer and it gets fairly close. We are working on adding…

I have a favour to ask. I’ve been working for a while on Kalavai, a project to make distributed AI easy. There are brilliant tools out there to help AI hobbyists and devs on the software layer (shout out to vLLM and llamacpp amongst many others!) but it’s a jungle out there when it comes to procuring and managing the necessary hardware resources and orchestrating them. This has always led me to compromise on the size of the models I end up using (quantized versions, smaller models) to save cost or to play within the limits of my rig. Today I am happy to share the first public version of our…

I’ve been experimenting with infrastructure for multi-agent systems. I built a small project called AgentLog. The core idea is very simple, topics are just append-only JSONL files. Agents publish events over HTTP and subscribe to streams using SSE. The system is intentionally single-node and minimal for now. Future ideas I’m exploring: - replayable agent workflows - tracing reasoning across agents - visualizing event timelines - distributed/federated agent logs Curious if others building agent systems have run into similar needs.

Hey folks! I'm a founding engineer at Yorph AI, an agentic data platform, built using ADK, that helps users (starting with product managers and analysts) join data from different sources (upload or sync), build version-controlled and reliable data workflows, and clean, analyze, and visualize data — all in one place. We're also releasing semantic layer creation later this week. The beta is live at yorph.ai/login — would love to hear your thoughts and feedback! (FYI: We're still waiting on Google app verification — you'll see a warning for a few days. Dropbox shows a similar one since…
