Yansu▲338Hi HN Most teams run on a dozen SaaS tools and use maybe 20% of each. The rest is someone else's workflow that you're paying for. We built Yansu to fix that. It learns how you work — your desktop, your Slack, your Teams — and proactively builds bespoke tools tailored to you. You don’t need to prompt. It sees a pattern, builds a solution, and surfaces it for you to use or toss. Like, I do the same things before every call: look through Linkedin, see any open threads on email, read the latest blog/news of the company and any relevant slack conversations. Yansu noticed and built me an app…

Hi HN! We're excited to share marimo pair [1] [2], a toolkit that drops AI agents into a running marimo notebook [3] session. This lets agents use marimo as working memory and a reactive Python runtime, while also making it easy for humans and agents to collaborate on computational research and data work. GitHub repo: https://github.com/marimo-team/marimo-pair Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uaqtchDnoc marimo pair is implemented as an agent skill. Connect your agent of choice to a running notebook with: /marimo-pair pair with me on…

Hi HN! We’re Akilan and Miguel, the creators of MarbleOS. The inspiration for Marble comes from the GUI work at Xerox PARC, the 1984 Macintosh, and later NeXTSTEP, which became the foundation for Mac OS X. Before GUIs, interacting with a computer was limited to strange terminal commands: C:\> DIR C:\> COPY FILE.TXT A: You had to remember the command, syntax, paths, and parameters. The GUI made those capabilities visible. Instead of remembering commands, you could point at files, drag them, click buttons, and select actions from menus. It didn't necessarily make entirely new things possible;…

Hi HN - I’m Peter, here with Harry (devhawk), and we’re building DBOS Java, an open-source Java library for durable workflows, backed by Postgres. https://github.com/dbos-inc/dbos-transact-java Essentially, DBOS helps you write long-lived, reliable code that can survive failures, restarts, and crashes without losing state or duplicating work. As your workflows run, it checkpoints each step they take in a Postgres database. When a process stops (fails, restarts, or crashes), your program can recover from those checkpoints to restore its exact state and continue from where…

I think like many of you, I've been jumping between many claude code/codex sessions at a time, managing multiple lines of work and worktrees in multiple repos. I wanted a way to easily manage multiple lines of work and reduce the amount of input I need to give, allowing the agents to remove me as a bottleneck from as much of the process as I can. So I built an orchestration tool for AI coding agents: Optio is an open-source orchestration system that turns tickets into merged pull requests using AI coding agents. You point it at your repos, and it handles the full lifecycle: - Intake —…

Hi HN, I’m Hiroki, founder of Epismo. Every day, people share “must-use” prompts, but copying a single prompt rarely reproduces real outcomes. The missing piece is the workflow: task decomposition, step order, intermediate artifacts, and quality checks. So I built Workflow Hub, an open library of human-AI workflows you can clone and run. Each workflow includes step definitions, inputs, expected artifacts/outputs, and verification checks, so you can copy the whole process, not just a prompt. You can clone a workflow, customize it, then execute it in Epismo with the best agent for each…

Konxios▲30Hey All, I built Konxios (spelled as Conscious) because I had a problem, AI tools were multiplying, but my workflow was getting more fragmented with no privacy first solution. One tool for chat. Another for coding. Another for automation. Another for creating UGC videos. Another for agents. And almost all of them required sending my data somewhere else. Konxios is my attempt at an AI operating system: Local-first AI with Ollama / LM Studio, Optionally connect cloud models if you prefer BYOK model. Privacy focused all the coding happens inside docker container. Granular permissions to…

Companion▲20AI that actually controls your Windows/Mac desktop - clicks, types, automates workflows across any application. Native OS integration, not cloud APIs. Built this because I was tired of AI that could only chat. Free tier (Gemini) + paid tier (Claude) for reliable automation. The AI can automate complex workflows, manage files/emails, control browsers and native apps. Just launched 2 weeks ago. What workflows would you want automated?

Hey HN! We're Lucas and Soheil, the founders of Praxos (https://praxos.ai). Praxos is a context manager for AI Agents, providing everything you need to build stateful agents that don't break in production. Praxos can parse any data source, from unstructured PDFs and API streams to conversational messages, to structured databases, and transform them into a single Knowledge Graph. Everything in this graph is semantically typed and its relationships are made explicit, turning data into a clean, queryable universe of understanding that AI can use without making mistakes. Whether you…
