    Agen▲138

    AI changed the way we code, but we're still using the old processes, and we've become the bottleneck, the AI is waiting for us - to reply, to open our laptops, to review the code, and so on. We're building the future of AI software development. The agents are autonomous, they run in sandboxes, automatically fix the pipelines, and deliver you the final, working code. You can use live preview to see the changes they made. Working across multiple repositories, all within the same session. This is the future - you don't need an IDE, and you don't have to run anything locally.

    Boxes.devfree tier, from $19/mo▲112

    Hi HN, we’re Nick and Drew, and we’re building boxes.dev – the first cloud-only agentic dev environment (ADE) that gives every Codex and Claude Code agent its own cloud computer. We’re two engineers who previously built Gem (co-founder/CTO and first hire), and we spent the last year coding almost exclusively using Codex and Claude Code. It’s been a huge change to how we code, and it’s been exhilarating seeing the models keep getting better – but we eventually realized that developing on localhost was holding us back: - Git worktrees are clunky to set up and use for parallelizing work -…

    Hi, we're Kevin, Chris, and Brian, the creators of JACoB (Just Another Coding Bot), an open-source AI coding agent designed to streamline the development process. As veteran developers, we know that while AI isn't perfect, it can be a valuable tool for tasks like code reviews, converting designs to React components, and writing high-quality GitHub issues. We’ve been building JACoB over the past year to assist with our real work, and today we’re open sourcing it under an Apache 2.0 license. Our goal is to create the first fully open-source tool that matches the quality and polish of many…
