24 alternatives to Max Requirements - by omika.ai
Hey HN, We built Max Requirements to solve a problem we kept running into: clients have ideas in their heads but struggle to communicate them in a way developers can work with. It's a conversation-based tool where 6 specialized AI agents guide you through requirements gathering — project scope, user types, user stories, prioritization (MoSCoW), and UX preferences. Output is a structured spec document. Stack: React, Bun, LangGraph for agent orchestration, Claude Haiku 4.5 via OpenRouter, SQLite. The goal was to replicate what a good product manager does in a discovery session, but in 30…

When we asked developers from large engineering teams, almost everyone is using Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot. But adoption is still inconsistent. Some of us would have 15 agents running in Claude Code at the same time; some would still refuse to use any of them and write code manually. There's a fragmented AI development problem: - Five developers building similar features, and all of them start from scratch - No way to share "here's how we prompt AI to follow our architecture" - No trail of how the AI changes were generated - People leave the company, so does the their knowledge Aviator…

Hi HN, I’m Hiroki, founder of Epismo. Every day, people share “must-use” prompts, but copying a single prompt rarely reproduces real outcomes. The missing piece is the workflow: task decomposition, step order, intermediate artifacts, and quality checks. So I built Workflow Hub, an open library of human-AI workflows you can clone and run. Each workflow includes step definitions, inputs, expected artifacts/outputs, and verification checks, so you can copy the whole process, not just a prompt. You can clone a workflow, customize it, then execute it in Epismo with the best agent for each…

Sokosumi▲90I'm part of the team that build Sokosumi, a marketplace where you can hire and deploy AI agents for specific tasks (research, design, sentiment analysis, etc.). Instead of one big chatbot, they’re positioning it as a directory of specialized “freelancer” agents, with a blockchain-based backend for payments and identity. Developers can also list their own agents and monetize them. Curious what people here think about this model: Will specialization make agent marketplaces more useful than general-purpose LLM tools? How viable is blockchain as the backbone for an agent economy? What pitfalls…

Hi HN, I’ve been working on something I’d love to share: 47jobs (https://47jobs.com ) – a marketplace where you can hire AI agents to do tasks instead of human freelancers. Why? I kept noticing that many tasks on Upwork/Fiverr—coding, content generation, data analysis, automation—can now be handled by AI in minutes, not hours. But there wasn’t a platform built around hiring AI directly. So I built 47jobs: 100% AI agents doing the work (no humans in the loop). Jobs get delivered 10x faster, at transparent prices. You can “hire” an agent for coding, automation, research, etc.…

Hey HN! My name is Christian, and I’m the co-founder of https://frigade.ai. We’ve built an AI agent that automatically learns how to use any web-based product, and in turn guides users directly in the UI, automatically generates documentation, and even takes actions on a user’s behalf. Think of it as Clippy from the old MS Office. But on steroids. And actually helpful. You can see the agent and tool-calling SDK in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPe0t3A1Vpg How is this different from other AI customer support products? Most AI "copilots" are really just…

Hi HN - we’ve been working on a new UX for building realtime voice agents with minimal code. We’ve built a ton of voice agents in the past few years. We noticed that voice agent dev follows a pretty typical pattern: ⁃ Start with a “single prompt” version that dumps all relevant context and instructions into a one prompt, and provide access to all necessary tools the agent will ever need ⁃ As the agent gets more complex and users discover more edge cases, break the single-prompt version out into a more complex structure that gives a user more control over the precise conversational flow.…

Hey HN! I built a thing and I'm really excited to share it. EDIT: I meant to link to the github, not the website: https://github.com/max-hq/max Like many of us here, I've been commonly reaching for a pattern of "pull data into db; give it to claude" for a while, whilst doing data spelunking or building tooling - for the same reasons mentioned by thellimist over here [1] and a few other recent "CLI vs MCP" posts. To that end, about a month ago I started building a project called `max` - its goal is to cut the middleman and schematise any data source for you. Essentially,…

Hi HN — we’re building high-level capabilities for AI applications at Gensee: packaged tooling + infra that remove brittle low-level plumbing so teams can focus on their product’s real job. After speaking with many AI developers and experiencing it ourselves, we found that building agents requiring web content is often bottlenecked on the “search” part, as it involves iterations of search, crawl, extract, re-query, and error handling. We package all these search-related low-level details in an efficient and more intelligent way, so AI builders can get back to work on their core agent ideas.…

Hey HN! When implementing an AI-powered feature for a project, we—and many people we've talked to—often reach a point where we have to choose an AI model but aren’t sure which one best fits our constraints or where to even start. Unfortunately, the advice to "just use chatgpt" is not always a good one. What if I want an open-source model? What languages does it support? What about context window size or the number of parameters? There are thousands of AI models already out there and many of them are perfect for certain problems. That’s why we’ve carved out this part of our product as a free…

Hi HN, I'm Tony. I built Grov (https://grov.dev/) because I hit a wall with current AI coding assistants: they are "single-player." The moment I kill a terminal pane or close a chat session, the high-level reasoning and architectural decisions generated during that session are lost. If a teammate touches that same code an hour later, their agent has to re-derive everything from scratch or read many documentation files for basically any feature implemented or bug fixed. I wanted to stop writing a lot of docs for everything just to give context to my agents or have to re-explain…

Hey HN, I've made a groundbreaking discovery: procrastination can lead to questionable projects! While avoiding real work, I somehow created a directory of 130+ AI agents and frameworks. It's like I tried to organize a robot party and everyone showed up. What's inside: - A list of AI agents - Frameworks to build more agents So, HN, before I spiral into an existential crisis: did I accidentally create something useful, or should I go touch grass? P.S. If this somehow becomes the next big thing, I promise to pretend it was intentional all along.

Overbooked▲12Hi HN, Many people underestimate the importance of context when using LLMs. I used to fire off vague prompts like: “Hey, build me the X tool” or “Generate a long-form article on Global Warming”. and got generic, sloppy responses. Turns out, the problem wasn’t just the prompts, I needed a more systematic solution. So I started building AI capabilities into our agency’s management tool, Overbooked. After hours of iteration, I realized how powerful it is when you combine structured data with the right agent tools. There are two sides to the coin: Using the MCP Server inside the IDE You can…

Hey HN, I’m Chris, a solo dev in Melbourne AU. For the past month I've been spending my after work hours building AgentVisa. I'm both excited (and admittedly nervous) to be sharing it with you all today. I've been spending a lot of time thinking about the future of AI agents and the more I experimented, the more I realized I was building on a fragile foundation. How do we build trust into these systems? How do we know what our agents are doing, and who gave them permission? My long-term vision is to give developers an "Agent Atlas" - a clear map of their agentic workforce, showing where…
