24 alternatives to Moneta – Conversation as the Engine of Application State
Hi HN! I’m Thunder. Longtime lurker and first time poster. I’m excited to present Moneta (https://moneta.studio/) with my co-founder Rob. *Moneta is a conversation-as-code platform for building multiplayer AI-native applications in which the AI can reactively update the application based on interactions with users or other AI via CRDTs.* The key idea is that rather than using a conversation to generate an application, in Moneta the conversation *is* the application. We call this idea 'conversation as the engine of application state' (CATEOAS). This means that instead of saying…

Hey there, I’m Brian. I've been shipping conversational models over here at Tavus for the past two years. I want to tell you about our new audio-understanding model: Sparrow-2! It’s a new category of model and a unique new approach to conversational audio. Earlier this year we launched Sparrow-1, (at the time) our SoTA turn taking model. Since our Sparrow-1 launch, I’ve spent a lot of time listening to humans talking and trying to really understand how people know when to talk, when to listen, and when to wait. I’ve also been hunting down failure modes of the current SoTA models. And while…

Ray▲293I've been using this daily for 4 months and figured others might find it useful. This is my first open source project so would love any feedback. Ray connects to your bank via Plaid, stores everything in an encrypted local SQLite database, and lets you ask questions about your finances in natural language. No cloud, no account, your data is stored on your machine. Before anything reaches the LLM, all PII is stripped — your name, companies, transaction details are redacted and replaced with tokens, then rehydrated locally in the response. The AI never sees who you are.

Hello HN! The day has finally come to stop adding features and start sharing what I've been building the last 5-6 months. It's a bit of CrewAI, OpenDevon, LangFuse/Cloud all in one, providing devs who prefer TypeScript an integrated framework thats provides a lot out of the box to start experimenting and building agents with. It started after peeking at the LangChain docs a few times and never liking the example code. I began experimenting with automating a simple Jira request from the engineering team to add an index to one of our Google Spanner databases (for context I'm the…

Atomic▲106Hey HN - I first posted about my knowledge base product, Atomic, here around a month ago; since then, a viral tweet by Karpathy has produced a torrent of AI powered knowledge base projects. meanwhile I've been shipping like crazy, here are some of the new features shipped in the last month: - Rebuilt the iOS app with an Android app on the way - expanded both the MCP and internal agent chat toolkit immensely - A custom, CodeMirror6-based markdown editor with obsidian-style rendering - A dashboard view that provides a daily summary of atoms created or updated in the last day And many bug fixes…

It’s written in Python and I call it GoalChain. It lets you build a conversation flow graph that the user traverses. When there’s enough input it spits out a dictionary with the defined fields. Otherwise it will jump state to state as led by the user. It was fun to write, and it’s surprisingly effective if you keep in mind you’re prompt-engineering every string and field name. README.md has a mini-tutorial. Would be cool to get some ideas for how to build it further and what improvements I could make.

Imagine you have to make a little change in all your microservices, like changing a line in Dockerfile, but you have 50 microservices, ouch right! The PRs, pipelines, reviews... I have created a dashboard with a chatbot where you can simply ask "Update all repositories with alpine base image version X to Y", and then click next a bunch of time and see a list of PRs with their pipeline status. Hi friends I'm Daniel, the creator of Infra as AI. I was laid off from my SRE role a couple of months ago, and decided to build something that could always help me at work. My job was to keep the lights…

Hey HN! I'm Jacob Sansbury, a software developer and founder of Pluto. After working at Bridgewater Associates and moving to San Francisco, I decided to combine my passion for software development and finance to create Pluto – an AI-driven platform that revolutionizes the way retail investors manage their finances. Today, I'm excited to share our beta with you: https://pluto.fi/ Pluto is built with a combination of Next.js and Python, running on K8s and Kafka. Our AI Copilot, Plato, uses a three-part system (thinkers, actors, and communicators) to analyze data, execute…

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…

Hey HN! I really like local apps for their simplicity and privacy and hate paying Saas bills and I wanted a way to start automating my life with AI so I started building Anything. Anything is built on Tauri so the front end is React and the "backend" is Rust. It's 100% local & 100% doesn't ask you to spin up docker to use. Another core goal of the app is to get away from "package bloat" you see in other general purpose AI oss projects where they have a package.json that is 300 lines long ( more on that later. ) Oh btw I suck at Rust! I learned Rust while building this so the code is _not…

hello everyone, my first post! AA here, founder of ⌘ Langbase.com — we are a developer platform for building and scaling serverless AI memory agents. I know surveys can be boring, but this one’s different—it’s interactive! That's very much intentional. My team and I have been up for the last 21 hours putting together this report. This was a looot of work, so I hope y'all like it. Introducing … State of AI Agents 2024 report On Langbase, we processed 184 billion tokens and handled 786 million AI agent runs from 36K developers. From all that data plus insights from 3.4K builders who filled out…

Built a free open source agentic CLI tool for financial modeling & analysis. Hadn't played around with real equity valuation modeling for awhile and wanted to build tooling to get myself back into the game. Bull.sh lets you query & store 10-Qs, 10-K in a local vector store to chat with them, build investment thesis from scratch or build full framework models through the CLI to export into excel. It's open source, just requires your own Anthropic API key and (optionally) AlphaVantage Free API key if you want save some tokens from scraping. Feel free to play around with it. Some ideas I have…

We came across this repo Happen, how good will it be cause we have We’ve tried the usual stuff: LangChain (too bloated, too magic) Autogen (chat loop hell) CrewAI (fun, but brittle when workflows grow) https://github.com/RobAntunes/Happen/tree/main/examples

Hey HN, we built an Econ+Finance database to let AI agents do investment research. We spend a lot of tokens to organize macro releases and SEC filings into a clean format, so that your agents have more context to do actual analysis. The problem AI agents are great at data analysis. But they become ineffective if most of their context window is spent on gathering and cleaning data, instead of validating hypotheses. Data in the wild is messy and rarely standardized. Definitions and measurements change over time. This problem is compounded by a fragmented data universe. Point solutions exist…

Hey everyone on HN! We recently spent the past couple of weeks building out an end-to-end platform which can plug-in multiple models (both open/closed-source) to create voice driven conversational applications. We've tried to make the process simple & concise through documentation. Feel free to try it out and provide feedback. We will be launching a dashboard in the coming week for monitoring and analytics alongwith more open source models. Let us know what you all think. (if you want to contribute, we have tons of features planned - do let us know)

Hey HN, When I was learning to code I was always intrigued to see the guys on twitter making money with a SaaS. I always wondered how to make them and after a few months I developed my own.

I built Hermes, an open-source Python framework for multi-agent financial research. Most AI “equity research” demos stop at generating text. In practice, real workflows require pulling structured XBRL financials from SEC filings, extracting labeled sections like MD&A and Risk Factors, merging macro and market data, building actual Excel models with formulas, and generating investment memos in Word or PDF. Hermes is designed to handle that full pipeline end to end. It includes 35 financial data tools covering SEC EDGAR (via edgartools), FRED, Yahoo Finance market data, and RSS-based financial…

Athena▲5Hi HN, I spent the last 14 months pairing with my own AI agent for everything from coding to life admin (1,000+ logged sessions). I got tired of the "Subscription Cycle" (paying $20/mo for a wrapper that forgets context next week), so I built a sovereign framework: "Project Athena". It is a local-first system that lets you build an AI agent with persistent memory, protocols, and knowledge graphs that live on your machine, not in a siloed cloud account. *Key Features:* - *Local-First Memory*: Markdown files + local vector store. You own the data. - *Protocol Library*: 69+ decision…

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,…
