24 alternatives to MIT OSS LinkedIn DMs for Agents (CLI and Example TUI)

I was tired of paying $100s/mo to access data I should own -- my own DMs on social media -- so I built Allman, a local-first cli to access linkedin messenger. Starting with LinkedIn, I gave the entire compiled js binary of linkedin's web app to claudecode and reversed engineered the entire messenger inbox in 24 hours. My goal is to bring this to all messengers so AI can handle all of this busywork, just like it can my email. I had also never built a TUI so I had claudecode build me one based on top of the local CLI and filesystem. Full repos:…

    AgentSea▲439

    Today we’re excited to introduce AgentSea, a private AI chat built for sensitive work. When you use closed-source AI models, your data can: – be stored – pulled into training pipelines – shared with third parties That might be fine if you’re making memes or drafting LinkedIn posts. But it becomes a serious risk when you’re pasting contracts, health info, financial data, or business secrets. That’s why we built AgentSea. In Secure Mode, all chats run on open-source models or models hosted on our own servers. Your data never leaves, is never used for training, and is never leaked. Agentsea…

    Hey HN, what I wanted to build here is a proper universal layer for persisted agentic sessions, that could be seamlessly interacted both via web and a messenger (Telegram). I really like what's done so far and would be nice to hear some feedback from you. The interesting thing is that I started to use Chatcode during its development as soon it was possible, so used this tool to build itself. I know that there could be trust/privacy concerns, because it relies on a gateway that you need to install on your machine in order to work, but: 1. You can use it on any machine, just have some…

    We were spending a lot of time re-writing the same primitives in projects we were doing getting claude + codex + other harnesses communicating in real time. Many other projects forced us into using their framework or harness or into a specific stack. So we open sourced an SDK that acts as the messaging layer without the rest of it. Still early, but we've been working on it and found it useful.

    Hi everyone, nice to meet you and I am a newcomer of HN. I have made a binary tool Aih that could communicate with Bard, ChatGPT, Claude, and Llama(HuggingChat) from the terminal. https://github.com/Databingo/aih Since CAPTCHA challenges and bots detecting have become increasingly difficult, I've changed my strategy from hacking the APIs to simulating a real browser's action. The tool first takes the logged-in cookies of Google, ChatGPT, Claude, and HuggingChat accounts from the real Chrome browser, then it opens an invisible instance of Chromium for communication, then…

    I'm Tom, the cofounder of Canonical AI. I build a Voice AI agent that interviews you, then writes LinkedIn and X posts based on the interview. ### Why did I build this? 1. LinkedIn and X are b2b lead goldmines. But generating content is hard. You have to figure out what to say. If you're like me, you have trouble coming up with social post ideas when staring at a blank screen. But interesting ideas arrive when I step away from my laptop and talk to people. Also, it's hard to compose the content in a way that appeases the platform algorithms. 2. I want to dogfood my product. We’re building…
