Merlio▲243Frustrated by AI assistants that can only suggest actions but never take them, I built Merlio (https://merlio.app) - an AI that generates charts, searches the web, creates images, and analyzes YouTube videos directly within conversations. Built with React, it functions as an AI hub providing access to multiple models (Claude, GPT, Gemini) through a unified interface. The custom LLM orchestration layer enables the AI to execute tools with proper parameters and process results while maintaining conversation flow. Users are visualizing data, generating designs, and summarizing…

Tonkotsu▲386Hey HN, I’m Derek, part of a small team of ex-Facebook engineers and designer building Tonkotsu. We strongly believe that the future of software development requires every developer to become the tech lead of a team of agents. That shift requires new tools and workflows that go beyond existing IDEs or terminal agents. Tonkotsu is our take on that next-gen tool. It’s a desktop app that lets developers plan technical work, delegate many coding tasks in parallel, and then review the diffs — all in one place. Our main difference is that we tightly integrate this plan > delegate > verify loop and…

Hello HN, I don't post on here much, but wanted to get some eyes on a new project I'm just launching. I think we definitely need one more AI code agent.. I'm a long-term C++ dev, and over 30+ years I've created some successful audio dev tools (JUCE, the Tracktion DAW, the Cmajor DSP language). All of these came from me getting annoyed with something I had to use, and deciding to have a go at my own take on whatever it was. So Juggler is my attempt at an AI code agent, after spending too many hours loving what the models could do, but hating the CLI experience, and having some opinions of…

git-lrc▲300Hi HN, I'm the author of git-lrc, would appreciate some feedback from the community Last year my team started using AI coding tools more heavily, and we found ourselves generating tons of code, but spending less time looking at the stuff that's been generated. We felt like we were losing a bit of grip/understanding of what we were building. Regressions occasionally slipped through. Sometimes changes made it all the way to production only to be reverted later. We tried several AI code review tools, but most operate at PR time. That felt too late. I wanted review to happen while the…

WOZCODE▲194For the last year we've been building an AI mobile app builder. Last week we decided to generalize our agent harness and benchmark it against vanilla Claude Code. Turns out the tools we built for app building were significantly more efficient than the native Claude Code tools. When we ran benchmarks we beat Claude code on speed (~40% faster) , cost (25-55% cheaper) and performance (+17% on Terminal Bench 2.0). Today we're making our agent harness publicly available as a Claude Code plugin. Use code WOZCODE1 to try it for $1 at wozcode.com

hi guys. been working on something i think is fundamentally missing in today's workflow with ai agents. vcs. i find myself struggling with questions that agents can't answer like "why did you do it?", "when did u delete this folder? why?", etc. or trying to /rewind (after a /compact...) or basically `bisect` to find when and why something was done by the agent in the current / previous session. just like git did for code, i think we are the same core capabilities with ai agents so... i developed an open source solution for that (currently supporting claude code) would love to…

AI Browser▲143Hey HN! I built Browser AI after getting frustrated with the official Playwright MCP server in Claude Code. If you've used it, you know the pain: - 20+ separate tools that Claude has to juggle (click, fill, navigate, wait_for_selector, etc.) - Context window explosions from verbose screenshot data and DOM snapshots - Constant tool selection errors where Claude picks the wrong tool or forgets parameters Browser AI wraps Playwright MCP with a single natural language interface. Instead of Claude managing dozens of tools, you get one: browser_ai.execute. Just tell it what you want in plain…

Hey HN, We’re two developers (co-founders) with a team of 20 who got tired of spending hours reviewing PRs, so we built Infinitcode.ai, an AI-powered code reviewer that: - *Summarizes PRs in plain English*: No more deciphering 1,000-line diff jungles - *Catches more than bugs*: Security holes, performance pitfalls, code smells, even typos (yes, we’ll flag “vurnerabilities” and vulnerabilities) - *Zero onboarding*: Works instantly—no “let me learn your codebase for weeks” nonsense. Why we’re posting: We’re in alpha and need brutal honesty. Roast our tool, mock our UI, or tell us why AI will…

Hey HN! I built Retain as the evolution of claude-reflect (github.com/BayramAnnakov/claude-reflect). The original problem: I use Claude Code/Codex daily for coding, plus claude.ai and ChatGPT occasionally. Every conversation contains decisions, corrections, and patterns I forget existed weeks later. I kept re-explaining the same preferences. claude-reflect was a CLI tool that extracted learnings from Claude Code sessions. Retain takes this further with a native macOS app that: - Aggregates conversations from Claude Code, claude.ai, ChatGPT, and Codex CLI - Instant full-text…

The goal was to bring down the cost at the context eng. level. We do it with Layout Memoization. Instead of dumping HTML into the context window, we have built a continual learning browser harness (read only for now). We have built an early prototype for you to try out, where you can: 1. Spins up a browser instance 2. Extract any structured or tabular data from anywhere on the open-web 3. And you can do all this at the cost of a vector search Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks for taking the time to read it.

Hey HN! I'm open-sourcing a little weekend side project. It's a terminal UI that generates parsers for webpages using AI, and a library that runs these parsers while you browse (it connects to Chrome over CDP). You can parse Twitter, LinkedIn, and HN posts and they get saved to a DuckDB database, so you can query them later. Contributions welcome! I wrote a bit more about it here: https://0thernet.substack.com/p/memo-2-selectron

Hey HN! I'm Hussam, a Senior Algorithm Engineer at CodiumAI. We launched PR Agent a little over a year ago — it’s a free and open-source tool that helps with reviewing pull requests. The response has been great and more than 70 contributors have added to the project. Today, we're launching PR Agent as a browser extension. Key features: - AI Chat in PRs: You can ask questions about specific code changes and the context is passed to the AI model - Automated Code Reviews: The /review command does an automated review, focusing on potential bugs, security issues, and best practice violations…

I’ve spent the last 2.5 months building a product that runs LLM-powered code reviews on my pull requests — and I just launched it. The tool is built specifically for solo developers. You install it on your repo, trigger a scan by creating a pull request, and it leaves structured review comments using OpenAI under the hood. Funnily enough, I used the dev version of this app to review its own pull requests while building it. It helped me spot bugs, simplify structure, and keep quality high — all with minimal need for another human in the loop. Things I want to try out in the next months : -…
