    Blocks▲448

    Hi HN, We just launched Blocks - an AI platform where anyone can build custom work apps and AI agents in minutes, no coding required. We’re seeing a shift in how software is built and used. With AI, software isn’t just about tracking processes anymore - it can actively help people get work done. The problem is that most teams still face 2 options: either buy off-the-shelf tools that never quite fit, or invest a lot of time and money into custom development. Neither works well. Blocks is the third option. It’s an AI-native platform where teams can create apps and AI agents for their workflows…

    I initially built this for myself but some folks asked me to open access to it. Let me explain what I built and why. I'm a product designer who transitioned from only designing to building complete software products myself and I found myself using AI coding agents literally every day. I started with cursor, then codex and claude code, then kilo code, and then moved to opencode. The only thing AI agents couldn't get done for me was to keep track of my todos and tasks for all my projects. I ended up vibe coding a todo app separately or using apps like TickTick. The main issue with separate…

    Hey HN, We're Cosmic (YC W19), a headless CMS. Today we're launching Team Agents and the Cosmic Agent. Team Agents are AI-powered team members that live in Slack, WhatsApp, and Telegram. They have names, roles, persistent memory, and real capabilities. Not chatbots. Not one-off prompts. Persistent agents that work alongside your team. Here's what they can do: CONTENT AGENTS write blog posts, landing pages, and marketing copy. They generate images, add SEO metadata, and publish directly to the CMS. Message them in Slack, get a finished post back. CODE AGENTS read your codebase, create…

    Scheduled agents fail in four ways: silent skips, tokens burned on nothing, no memory between runs, and needing your laptop awake. Routines answers all four.

    Agentlyfree tier, from $33/mo▲336

    Agently is an AI Work OS where documents, tasks, team chat, and integrations are fully interconnected, and AI employees operate inside that shared workspace. Instead of prompting AI in isolation, agents can read project context, turn strategy docs into tasks, coordinate with teammates, run research/outreach/content workflows, update boards, and push results back into the system or external tools. The workspace acts as persistent memory, so work continues instead of resetting every prompt. Happy to answer any questions

    I kept missing when my Codex agents finished, so I built relayd — a mobile dashboard that sends push notifications and lets me continue agents from my phone. Free tier available. Would love feedback.

    hi guys. been working on something i think is fundamentally missing in today's workflow with ai agents. vcs. i find myself struggling with questions that agents can't answer like "why did you do it?", "when did u delete this folder? why?", etc. or trying to /rewind (after a /compact...) or basically `bisect` to find when and why something was done by the agent in the current / previous session. just like git did for code, i think we are the same core capabilities with ai agents so... i developed an open source solution for that (currently supporting claude code) would love to…

    Hi HN, I’m Michael, I built AgentGrid with my friend Souren because we were tired of losing our coding sessions and couldn't keep track of what was actually being built across our many projects. Our approach was to use an infinite canvas desktop app for the TUIs we already know and love, mainly claude + codex. We drew inspiration from Figma and Railway. Overtime we added image nodes, notes, terminals, coding editors, source control, etc. I wasn't sure about it at first. It took me a month to give the first version Souren built a real try. What got me was an Apple System Update I've been…

    Single-agent LLMs suck at long-running complex tasks. We’ve open-sourced a multi-agent orchestrator that we’ve been using to handle long-running LLM tasks. We found that single LLM agents tend to stall, loop, or generate non-compiling code, so we built a harness for agents to coordinate over shared context while work is in progress. How it works: 1. Orchestrator agent that manages task decomposition 2. Sub-agents for parallel work 3. Subscriptions to task state and progress 4. Real-time sharing of intermediate discoveries between agents We tested this on a Putnam-level math problem, but the…
