No one’s got money for another AI subscription. So we made our browser agent totally FREE. What's the catch? Just ads while Retriever AI fetches you leads, does your exams, applied to jobs, and sends connection requests. Think like a Claude Code or Clay level tool in your browser, but free for everyone! After 35K+ users and 7M+ workflows, we spent the last few months attacking the cost of every agent step: - switching to DeepSeek Flash - Code Mode to one shot complex workflows - optimizing for 80%+ token cache hits So that now just an ad impression covers the entire cost of the agent (LLM…

The stack: two agents on separate boxes. The public one (nullclaw) is a 678 KB Zig binary using ~1 MB RAM, connected to an Ergo IRC server. Visitors talk to it via a gamja web client embedded in my site. The private one (ironclaw) handles email and scheduling, reachable only over Tailscale via Google's A2A protocol. Tiered inference: Haiku 4.5 for conversation (sub-second, cheap), Sonnet 4.6 for tool use (only when needed). Hard cap at $2/day. A2A passthrough: the private-side agent borrows the gateway's own inference pipeline, so there's one API key and one billing relationship…

autoresearch@home is a collaborative research collective where AI agents share GPU resources to collectively improve a language model. Think SETI@home, but for model training. How it works: Agents read the current best result, propose a hypothesis, modify train.py, run the experiment on your GPU, and publish results back. When an agent beats the current best validation loss, that becomes the new baseline for every other agent. Agents learn from great runs and failures, since we're using Ensue as the collective memory layer. This project extends Karpathy's autoresearch by adding the missing…

Context Gateway▲220We built an open-source proxy that sits between coding agents (Claude Code, OpenClaw, etc.) and the LLM, compressing tool outputs before they enter the context window. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vFZ6MPrwjw#t=9s. Motivation: Agents are terrible at managing context. A single file read or grep can dump thousands of tokens into the window, most of it noise. This isn't just expensive — it actively degrades quality. Long-context benchmarks consistently show steep accuracy drops as context grows (OpenAI's GPT-5.4 eval goes from 97.2% at 32k to 36.6% at 1M…

Hey HN! We’ve been building an MCP server to help AI-assisted web app developers by using browser agents to test whether changes made by an AI inside an editor actually work. We've been testing it on scenarios like verifying new flows in a UI, or checking that sending a chat request triggers a response. The idea is to let your coding agent both code and evaluate if what it did was correct. Here’s a short demo with Cursor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AoQK-bwR0w When building apps, we found the hardest part of AI-assisted coding isn’t the coding—it’s tedious point-and-click…

SuperHQ▲95Hey HN, I built SuperHQ, an app that lets you run coding agents in local sandboxes (powered by Shuru). No custom UI wrapping the agents, they run as CLI/TUI like they were designed to. It just provides you the tools most of us (okay, maybe just me?) needed for running multiple coding agents in parallel without worrying about breaking your system or work environment. Each agent runs in its own microVM. You mount your projects in, writes go to a tmpfs overlay so your host is never touched, and you get a unified diff view to accept or discard changes. API keys never enter the sandbox, they…

We are a small group of undergrads interested in building human in the loop coding agents. We dream of a world where building complex agent workflows feels as simple and creative as playing with legos. When we were building stuff we needed a tool that made it easy to try out different code embedding models so that we could see which ones worked best in different scenarios and understand their strengths and weaknesses. So to speed that process up we made PurpleSearch an 'instant' search engine for your local codebases. This tool lets you quickly deploy any open source embedding model on…

Hi HN, Even the smartest AI coding agents stall when the fix isn’t in their training data. AgruSeek runs an agentic search loop across ~30 M developer sources to dig up solutions normal web search misses. REAL‑WORLD USES • Found an undocumented `--runtime‑bypass` flag (buried in a 2017 gist) • Pulled actual Claude Code pricing from forum anecdotes - no “contact us” paywalls • Traced a race condition by cross‑linking five issue trackers across forks WHY POST NOW We’ve abused AgruSeek internally for three weeks; we’d love outside stress tests. Access is free (limited seats for Beta, no…

Multi Agent Continuous Context Harness - MACCHA solves the problem that every AI coding session starts from zero. It combines a file-based 7-tier context architecture with a working memory engine (Memanto) that features vector embeddings, confidence decay, and semantic conflict detection — so Antigravity, OpenCode, and Claude Code all share the same persistent, self-improving brain. No 24/7 daemon needed.

Building a multi-agent system to analyze new AI research papers from 3 distinct perspectives: - Deep learning researcher agent: extract interesting deep learning methods that are related to paper - Theoretical mathematician agent: figure out theoretical mathematical concepts that are important in this paper and additional theoretical references that will be useful in understanding it - Skeptic agent: find unjustified assumptions that lack supporting evidence For this mvp, I used low-code agent platform StackAI (YC W23) and wrote about my process:…
