Pi Coding Agent▲176A new Emacs mode for AI-assisted coding (Claude Code style), with native Emacs buffers instead of a flickering terminal. Built on top of pi, a no-bs open source Claude Code alternative. It supports Claude, GPT, Gemini, Ollama. I've been using it daily for weeks. Demo video that says more than $NUMBER words: https://danielnouri.org/media/pi-coding-agent-demo.mp4 The key decision here is that we have two separate windows: chat history is a markdown-mode buffer, with beautiful rendering, unlimted scrollback, selective tool expansion where it matters, etc. The input window…

Hey, I'm Josh, cofounder of Imbue. We built Sculptor because we wanted a great UI for parallel coding agents. We love Claude Code, but wanted to solve some of the problems that come from running multiple agents in parallel (ex: merge conflicts with multiple agents, reinstalling dependencies with git worktrees, Claude Code could deleting your home directory, etc). Sculptor is a desktop app that lets you safely run Claude Code agents by putting them in separate docker containers. This lets you use Claude without having to compromise on security or deal with annoying tool permission prompts.…

Hey HN, I'm Mo. I've been building Paseo, an open source environment for running Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode across desktop, mobile, web, and CLI. It started last September as a push-to-talk voice interface for Claude Code. I wanted to talk to an agent while going on walks. Then I wanted to see what it was doing. Then text it when I couldn't talk. Then review diffs, run multiple agents, and manage work across machines. After a lot of iteration, it turned into a broader environment. The basic model is: - A daemon runs on your machine (MacBook, desktop, VPS, etc.). - Clients connect to it…

I got tired of sharing AI demos with terminal screenshots or screen recordings. Claude Code already stores full session transcripts locally as JSONL files. Those logs contain everything: prompts, tool calls, thinking blocks, and timestamps. I built a small CLI tool that converts those logs into an interactive HTML replay. You can step through the session, jump through the timeline, expand tool calls, and inspect the full conversation. The output is a single self-contained HTML file — no dependencies. You can email it, host it anywhere, embed it in a blog post, and it works on mobile. Repo:…

Mascotly AI▲10Hi HN! It’s been over a month since gpt-realtime-2 is available but I haven’t seen many tools created with it yet. I think it is a very underrated (and fun!) model that you can do a lot of cool stuff with. I created a funny tool where you can embed a “mascot” on your website that you can talk to. It crawls the site and has all the main pages + sections in context. So it can scroll, navigate pages and open FAQ’s. I might add more functionality later but I want to get some other people to try it first! Please let me know if you have any feedback or comments on the site/positioning. Thanks…

Hi guys, I've been using Claude Code for almost everything lately. Have given one an email account so it can research business leads, draft emails, fact-check them and clear them with me before sending (works really well by the way). I also tend to have a few Claude Code agents running at any one time for coding. I used to create a split terminal to manage them from there, but found working in the terminal all day pretty depressing and, more importantly, found it hard to follow Claude Code's process and see which agents needed my immediate attention. I tried Anthropic's VS Code Claude Code…

We posted here on Monday and got some great feedback. We’ve implemented a few of the most requested updates: - iMessage channel support (agents can text people and you can text agents) Other channels are simple to extend. - A built-in browser (agents can navigate and interact with websites) - Scheduling (run tasks on a timer / cron/ in the future) - Built in tunneling so that the agents can share local stuff with you over the internet - More robust MCP and Skills support so anyone can extend it - Auto approval for agent requests If you didn’t see the original: Outworked is a…
