I posted this previously, but there's been a major update. As a high school student, I love LLMs and the execution of Apple's Appel Intelligence Writing Tools, but was disappointed that nothing like that existed for Windows. I thus created Writing Tools, a better than Apple Intelligence open-source alternative that works system-wide on Windows. It's much better than the tiny 2B parameter Apple Intelligence model! Features (works system-wide): 1. Select text in a textbox, press the hotkey, and optimise your text in a click (proofread, rewrite, tone changes, custom instructions...). You can…

Hey HN, we’re launching OpenMemory (https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/tree/main/openmemory), an open source tool that lets you run a personal, portable memory layer for LLMs. Fully self-hosted and under your control. It uses standard MCP protocol and plugs into any MCP client (like Cursor, Windsurf, Claude, etc.) over Server-Sent Events (SSE). https://mem0.ai/blog/how-to-make-your-clients-more-context-a... is a complete tutorial that shows how to set it up locally, the underlying components involved, complete overview of architecture and…

Hey HackerNews, I'm building an open-source library aiming to make it very easy for anyone to use plugins with any LLM (plugins as defined by OpenAI). I just finished this very simple tutorial: https://github.com/edreisMD/plugnplai/blob/master/examples/a.... And would love to get some feedback, and suggestions on how to improve it / make it useful for you. Steps: 1. Load plugins from https://plugnplai.com directory (now with ~150 plugins) 2. Install and activate: Load specifications and build a default prompt describing the plugins to…

Hey HN, I built SWE-Kit, LLM toolkit (Function callable tools) which makes building agents specialised in coding like Devin very easy. I noticed a typical pattern while building local agents: creating & perfecting LLM tools to interact with system or codebase was the repeated and time-consuming. We created a layer that simplifies building agents that can interact with code, file system, git, shell and allows you to quickly solve for a wide variety of coding agent use cases. Aren’t there open coding agents already? Well, yes, but most folks would want to solve their specific use case like a…

After seeing a cool demo of a hack on Twitter, I built a cross platform version of it that works well and uses streaming. From anywhere on Mac and Linux, trigger Ollama and optionally feed it your clipboard. I built it yesterday and it's already very useful to me. I'm pretty excited about it and wanted to share!

Built a simple web app that tells you which open-source LLMs will work on your hardware. It auto-detects your specs, shows compatible models from Hugging Face, gives realistic performance estimates (tokens/sec), and recommends quantization settings. You can also manually input specs to see "what if I upgraded my RAM?" Made this after wasting time downloading giant models only to find they crawled on my hardware. Hope it saves you some frustration!

Slupe lets you use web-based LLMs to modify local files without leaving the browser. npx slupe --clipboard It's a CLI tool that watches for LLM commands and executes them on your computer. Key features: - Custom syntax (NESL) designed for LLM reliability - fewer search/replace failures than existing approaches - Clipboard mode: copy from browser → Slupe executes → paste results back to clipboard - Generates instructions for LLMs based on your allowed actions - Sandboxed filesystem operations with configurable permissions + automatic git backups Motivation: I wanted to use web based Opus…

Scenario: Your company’s IT department says “good news, you have access to azure, aws, openai, mistral, and together AI, here are the API keys”. You think “yippee I can access many models”, but some models like the gpt-oss or Mistral are available on some or all of those platforms? That’s where this app comes in: run it and it will check all the providers that you have configured and then you can search across those providers to see which providers have the model you want available. Built on top of mozilla.ai any-llm library. Check out the link for a GIF showing it in action.

As a high school student, I love LLMs and the execution of Apple's Appel Intelligence Writing Tools, but was disappointed that nothing like that existed for Windows. So, I created Writing Tools, a better than Apple Intelligence open-source alternative that works system-wide on Windows! Key features: - Uses Google's Gemini 1.5 Flash model for superior AI-assisted writing (much better than the tiny 2B parameter Apple Intelligence model) - Works in any application with a customizable hotkey - Proofreads, rewrites, summarizes, and more - Free and privacy-focused (your API key stays local, no…

SURF (Search Utility & Reading Framework) is an open-source API that bridges LLMs with the web. It provides a standardized interface for web search and content processing that preserves formatting of tables, code, and complex layouts. Key features: - Multiple search providers (SearXNG, DuckDuckGo, Brave) - HTML cleaning and smart content extraction - Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration for Claude and other AI assistants - Self-deployable with minimal setup (Docker, bare metal, cloud) - API key authentication I built this to make it easier to add web capabilities to LLM applications…

Hi all, I threw together a small prototype I am calling “Notepad.ai”. A new take on UIs for interacting with LLMs. While I enjoy using LLM’s in the chat format I wanted to see what it would be like to do it in a more long form style. It let’s you write in a pretty free form, much like Window’s Notepad, but you can choose to hit ctrl+[ to analyze the text with a preset prompt of your choosing. It has a few other small features. It’s WIP and very experimental. I would appreciate any feedback or thoughts. Video: https://youtu.be/ntdlgFmSxQY Live Demo:…
