24 alternatives to Open-source conversational AI agents for internal tools
Hey HN, We're John and Nadeesha. We created Inferable. [1] After years of working in operationally-intensive startups, we got tired of watching our internal tools gather dust and break. We've all been there - you build a tool, it works great for a while, then the API changes and suddenly you're back to square one. Sure, Retool and similar tools help, but someone still has to maintain them, and the backlog of "quick fixes" and the mountain of glue code keeps keeps growing. We started Inferable to see whether LLMs can help here. Inferable helps developers create conversational AI agents that…

Embeddable▲446Hi HN, I’m a co‑founder of Embeddable AI. After struggling to add interactive AI experiences to Wix, Shopify, Webflow, WordPress sites, I built this tool to let marketers build chatbots, quizzes or assistants and embed them anywhere with a snippet. Built in React/TypeScript front end and Node.js logic engine. It loads fast and works across CMS platforms. I’d love feedback from builders and marketers on use cases, missing features, or integration ideas.

AgentSea▲439Today 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…

OpenMolt▲132Hi HN! I built OpenMolt, an open-source framework for creating programmatic AI agents in Node.js.

When things break or change, the agent can adapt instead of failing like static workflows. The goal is to make agents behave more like real software systems than prompt scripts. It includes: - a planning/execution loop - tool and API integrations -…
