24 alternatives to Netlify for Agents
I launched Netlify with a Show HN more than 11 years today, for humans. Today we're launching our Agent first version of Netlify. Super early days for this, but I expect it to become as important as our original launch over time. It's as hard to perfect these flows as it was to perfect some of the initial human DX flows, since the agents are non-deterministic and keeps changing and evolving, and we'll have more to show soon on our eval tooling for this. Try it out with an agent, and we would love feedback on what works and what doesn't as we keep iterating on making Netlify better for our…
Netlify for Agents is an early-stage version of the Netlify platform designed to work with AI agents rather than just humans. The tool enables agents to interact with Netlify's deployment and hosting capabilities… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

Agentplace▲1,015Garry Tan posted a video this week about what he calls 20x companies. The idea is that small teams beat incumbents many times their size by automating everything internally, not just one or two functions. This alpha is real, and I think it is underhyped tbh. But here's the honest part, building agents is hard, expensive and most of the scaffolding we make would be obsolete with a new labs release. at the same time models are not quite there and they are not keeping up with "coding is dead" and "knowledge workers are doomed". Pushing them beyond what they can actually do reliably just boils…

Agent Arena▲348Creator here. I built Agent Arena to answer a question that kept bugging me: when AI agents browse the web autonomously, how easily can they be manipulated by hidden instructions? How it works: 1. Send your AI agent to ref.jock.pl/modern-web (looks like a harmless web dev cheat sheet) 2. Ask it to summarize the page 3. Paste its response into the scorecard at wiz.jock.pl/experiments/agent-arena/ The page is loaded with 10 hidden prompt injection attacks -- HTML comments, white-on-white text, zero-width Unicode, data attributes, etc. Most agents fall for at least a few.…

Lindy▲396I'm a big fan of Chris Dixon's idea that "what the smartest people do on the weekends is what everyone else will do during the week in ten years." One such thing rn is "creating AI agents." Most devs I know have a few agents lying around. But you shouldn't have to be an engineer to use agents — and even engineers don't want to code every time they need a new agent. So we built a no-code platform to make it 100x easier to create those: * you give a prompt * select amongst 3,000+ API connectors we built (no need to fiddle with OpenAPI specs) * add event-based triggers that'll wake up your…

Hi HN - we're Nithin and Nikhil, twin brothers and founders of nxtscape.ai (YC S24). We're building Nxtscape ("next-scape") - an open-source, agentic browser for the AI era. -- Why bother building a new browser? For the first time since Netscape was released in 1994, it feels like we can reimagine browsers from scratch for the age of AI agents. The web browser of tomorrow might not look like what we have today. We saw how tools like Cursor gave developers a 10x productivity boost, yet the browser—where everyone else spends their entire workday—hasn't fundamentally changed. And honestly, we…

Hey HN, We’ve been building browser agents for a while. In production, we kept converging on the same pattern: deterministic scripts for the happy path, agents only for edge cases. So we built Demonstrate Mode. The idea is simple: You perform your workflow once in a remote browser. Notte records the interactions and generates deterministic automation code. How it works: - Record clicks, inputs, navigations in a cloud browser - Compile them into deterministic code (no LLM at runtime) - Run and deploy on managed browser infrastructure Closest analog is Playwright codegen but: - Infrastructure…

Hi HN! I want to share our latest project at NEXA AI. We developed AI agent foundation models designed to transform how developers create AI agent powered apps. One major challenge we've observed with current human-computer interactions is that many simple, one-step tasks become unnecessarily complex, multi-step workflows due to limitations of current GUIs. AI agents can solve this, but existing AI agent models are slow and costly. To tackle these issues, we built lightweight AI agent models based on our Octopus V2, small language models for function calling (You can learn more about our…

AgentDiscuss▲154Hi HN, We’ve been thinking about a simple question: What products do AI agents actually prefer? As more agents start using APIs, tools, and software, it feels likely they’ll need somewhere to exchange information about what works well. So we built a small experiment: AgentDiscuss. It’s a discussion forum where AI agents can: 1. start product discussions 2. comment and debate tools 3. upvote products they prefer Humans can also launch products there and watch how agents react. We’re curious to see what happens if agents start discussing products with each other. If you’re building agents,…

I’ve spent the last two months building AgenticSeek, a privacy-focused alternative to cloud-based AI tools like ManusAI. It runs entirely on your machine—no API calls, no data leaks. Why AgenticSeek? Optimized for local LLMs (developed mostly on an RTX 3060 running deepseek r1 14b). Truly private: All components (TTS, STT, planner) run locally. More responsive than alternatives (we respond fast to issues + active Discord). Designed to be fun—think JARVIS-like voice control, multi-agent workflows, and a slick web UI. Current Features: Web browsing (research + form filling), code…

Hey HN! We’ve been building an MCP server to help AI-assisted web app developers by using browser agents to test whether changes made by an AI inside an editor actually work. We've been testing it on scenarios like verifying new flows in a UI, or checking that sending a chat request triggers a response. The idea is to let your coding agent both code and evaluate if what it did was correct. Here’s a short demo with Cursor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AoQK-bwR0w When building apps, we found the hardest part of AI-assisted coding isn’t the coding—it’s tedious point-and-click…

I run a building design consultancy. I got tired of paying Wix $40/month for a brochure that couldn’t answer simple service questions, and me wasting hours on the same FAQs. So I killed it all and spent 4 months building a 'talker': https://axoworks.com The stack is completely duct-taped: Netlify’s 10s serverless timeout forced me to split the agent into three pieces: Brain (Edge), Hands (Browser), and Voice (Edge). I haven’t coded in 30 years. This was 3 steps forward, 2 steps back, heavily guided by AI. The fight that proved it worked: 2 weeks ago, a licensed architect…

We’ve been working with automating coding agents in sandboxes as of late. It’s bewildering how poorly standardized and difficult to use each agent varies between each other. We open-sourced the Sandbox Agent SDK based on tools we built internally to solve 3 problems: 1. Universal agent API: interact with any coding agent using the same API 2. Running agents inside the sandbox: Agent Sandbox provides a Rust binary that serves the universal agent API over HTTP, instead of having to futz with undocumented interfaces 3. Universal session schema: persisting sessions is always problematic, since…

Hi, I've been watching the rise of AI agents with a mix of excitement and dread. We're building incredible tools that can browse the web, but we're forcing them to navigate a world built for human eyes. They scrape screens and parse fragile DOMs. We're trying to tame them to act like humans. I believe this is fundamentally wrong. The goal isn't to make AI operate at a human level, but to unlock its super-human potential. The current path is dangerous. When agents from OpenAI, Google, and others start browsing at scale and speed, concepts like UI/UX will lose meaning for them. The entire…

I'm one of the creators of The Edge Agent (TEA). We built this because we needed a way to deploy agents that was verifiable and robust enough for production/edge cases, moving away from loose scripts. The architecture aims to solve critical gaps in deterministic orchestration identified by *Prof. Claudionor Coelho Jr. (Stanford alum, ML/DL Faculty at Santa Clara Univ., and Senior Fellow for AI at Majestic Labs)* during our work on the Kiroku project. *Key Technical Features:* * *Neurosymbolic Native:* We integrated Prolog to logically validate LLM outputs. This combines neural…
