We're Brandon and Ishmael, co-founders of Paragon (https://useparagon.com). We're building a platform to makes it easy to integrate your product with other SaaS apps like Salesforce / HubSpot / Slack. To share a little backstory, we started with a slightly different product (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22813834) and decided to build Paragon Connect after hearing so many customer requests for this specific use case. If you’re a B2B software company, your customers have probably asked “does your product integrate with Salesforce / Slack /…

Hi HN, I’m the creator of Cordum. I’ve been working in DevOps and infrastructure for years (currently in the fintech/security space), and as I started playing with AI agents, I noticed a scary pattern. Most "safety" mechanisms rely on system prompts ("Please don't do X") or flimsy Python logic inside the agent itself. If we treat agents as autonomous employees, giving them root access and hoping they listen to instructions felt insane to me. I wanted a way to enforce hard constraints that the LLM cannot override, no matter how "jailbroken" it gets. So I built Cordum. It’s an open-source…

Hi HN. I'm the founder of Phoenix Labs (ex TikTok, Applied AI) and we're open sourcing our internal tooling today which is like a toolchain / meta-harness for CLI agents useful for really scaling eng and creative work. We are a very small team who's building a very ambitious product so we had to find ways to squeeze every ounce of efficiency that we could get our hands on. Harness strengths of different models (Claude, GPTs) and CLI-harnesses (Claude Code, Codex), safe/robust browser integration to speed up UX/QA testing, teams cli to speed up security reviews and parallelize…

Around 3 months ago, we were thinking why none of the iPhone apps running an LLM are built as a full harness (as in inference + agentic loop + context management + tools + MCP servers and etc.). It became more interesting when we noticed even the new Siri is not fully on device (and not available in EU for that matter). Having built a few agentic products around a custom harness in the past, we thought this shouldn't be that hard. well, we underestimated how "dumb" a 4B model can be, especially when it comes to tool calling. :D We tried 8 different models and we settled on Qwen 3.5 4B and we…

Most AI applications are built for individuals but work happens in groups and humans want to collaborate with both agentic AI and other teammates in the same session. We created Hybrid Groups for that purpose. In Hybrid Groups, agents join group chats as virtual team members in Slack and GitHub. They participate in group conversations, proactively contribute when needed and perform actions on behalf of individual users, like managing your calendar for meeting suggestions or updating your todo list without sharing access to your private resources to the group. The project is open-source at…

Hi HN, My name is Othmane and I’ve been in the ML field (building and shipping models) for the last ~5years. Today, as many people out there, I come across new AI tools every week. However I was a bit surprised to see little to no mention of established AI vendors that existed before chatGPT and how most use cases are heavily biased toward content generation (text/image) or conversational AI (chatbots). I built a tool that helps you find the right AI solution/provider based on your use case. It uses a curated database of 100+ solutions from established vendors. It covers things…

Hey HN. I built an AI agent harness over the past few months and I'm open sourcing it today. Some context on why. I've been building with Claude Code daily using this harness. It orchestrates multiple AI agents as a team, with a dashboard, chat, kanban board, the works. I used it to build a full SaaS product (MyUpMonitor, https://myupmonitor.com) in about 24 hours of focused coding. Then yesterday Anthropic announced Mythos and decided to keep it behind closed doors. Meanwhile I'm paying for Claude and I can't access their best model. I don't think that is nice at all... So I'm…

Hey HN, I’m Chris, a solo dev in Melbourne AU. For the past month I've been spending my after work hours building AgentVisa. I'm both excited (and admittedly nervous) to be sharing it with you all today. I've been spending a lot of time thinking about the future of AI agents and the more I experimented, the more I realized I was building on a fragile foundation. How do we build trust into these systems? How do we know what our agents are doing, and who gave them permission? My long-term vision is to give developers an "Agent Atlas" - a clear map of their agentic workforce, showing where…

Hey guys, We’re excited to introduce to you what we’ve been working on for the past few months. We are two co-founders and we’ve both experienced on-call shifts where we felt unprepared, the relevant people weren’t around to help or we were left in the middle of the night trying to figure out what went wrong. Merlinn is an open-source AI on-call developer that lives in Slack. It can help you alleviate some of the pains mentioned above by connecting to your favorite tools and pair with you to triage the incident. We also have a pro version that we host on our cloud. Our goal is to help…

Hey HN, I'm one of the creators of joinly.ai, an open-source solution that makes browser-based video conferences accessible to AI agents, allowing you to interact with them in real time. Think of it as a connector layer that brings the functionality of your AI agents to your meetings, allowing you to essentially build your own custom meeting assistant. We didn't want to build yet another Python framework for creating agents with its own syntactic sugar that you have to learn. That's why we opted for a different approach, utilizing an MCP server. Our MCP server provides essential meeting…

We're been seeing an explosion of agent generated artifacts get shared in companies, but with no place to put them or comment on them their utility is limited. We're building Valet to give agents the tools to collaborate with humans.

A few weeks ago, we started looking for a good framework to build agentic workflows within our Rails monolith at Chatwoot, but couldn't find anything that fit our needs. So, we decided to build our own. The SDK lets you create multiple AI agents that can interact with users, use tools, share context, and hand conversations off to each other. The SDK is provider-agnostic and designed to be thread-safe. Here's a link to our GitHub repository with the entire code, a quick-start guide, as well as an interactive example: https://github.com/chatwoot/ai-agents Fair warning: This…
