    I have been working in AI space for a while now, first at FAANG with ML since 2021, then with LLM in start-ups since early 2023. I think LLM Application development is extremely iterative, more so than any other types of development. This is because to improve an LLM application performance (accuracy, hallucinations, latency, cost), you need to try various combinations of LLM models, prompt templates (e.g., few-shot, chain-of-thought), prompt context with different RAG architecture, different agent architecture, and more. There are thousands of possible combinations and you need a process…

    Hey HN, I’m a product designer on a payments team. Every time we were close to shipping a feature, we’d run a bug bash in a giant Google doc or spreadsheet: copy the spec in, write the test cases, ask people to mark Pass/Fail, paste screenshots, then manually turn everything into Jira tickets. It worked, but it always felt a bit painful. Instead of another heavy test management tool, I wanted something that feels closer to the tools we actually like using. More Linear/Notion, less old-school QA. With Preflight, you paste your product requirements and Figma link and get an initial…

    We got tired of not being able to accurately answer "When will this be done?" and "Will anyone be required to work overtime on the current schedule?", or spending too much time in meetings and standups trying to answer those questions. Just opened up for beta. Would love some opinionated developers to guide future improvements (or feedback on the general idea).

    Hi HN, I’m Nico, one of the co-founders of BrainGrid. We built this after spending the last year building software almost entirely with AI coding tools like Claude Code and Cursor. Writing code was fast. Finishing anything reliably was not. Coding was not the bottleneck. planning was. It was everything before the code: unclear scope, missing edge cases, poor sequencing, and vague intent. Once a project went beyond a single prompt, small changes started breaking unrelated parts of the app. In traditional teams, product managers and tech leads handle this. I was a Director of Product at Twilio…

    *Motivation* Hi hackers, I'm Asif. I know we dislike premature standardization, but hear me out. LLM Application development is extremely iterative, more so than most other types of application development. We need a process that allows us to iterate faster. LLM Development is highly iterative due to the activities that come with regular software development, as well as the need to make the LLM Application accurate and reduce hallucination. To improve hallucination, we need to trial and error various combinations of LLM models, prompt templates (e.g., few-shot, chain-of-thought), prompt…

    Hey HN, I’m 14 and I’ve been obsessed with startups for a while. I noticed one big problem: most of us (especially first-time founders) waste months building something that nobody wants. So I built Startup Solve — an AI-powered platform that helps you stress-test your startup ideas before you write a single line of code. It includes six tools: ~ AI Co-Founder → brainstorms with you like a smart partner. ~ Startup Oracle → pressure-tests your idea and asks the brutal questions VCs would. ~ Funding Predictor → gives an estimate of whether your idea could raise funding. ~ Idea Incubator → helps…

    Recently I found myself spending too much time testing edge cases when building LLM agents. Re-running the same case over and over again really kills the vibe and takes the fun out of building. As Andrej Karpathy (and others) have said, it should really be called “context engineering” rather than prompt engineering. Writing instructions is the easy part. The hard part is providing the right context and tools while staying within context window limits. And evaluation is the slowest step. That’s the main purpose of Promposer: to handle evaluations for you, so you can focus on improving prompts…

    I'm a PM who got tired of the same cycle: do a bunch of customer interviews, dump them in a doc, tell myself I'll synthesize them later, never do. So I built Mimir as a fun side project for myself and my day job. You paste in your raw feedback — interviews, support tickets, survey responses, whatever... and it pulls out themes, ranks them, and tells you what to build next. Every recommendation links back to the actual quotes so you're not just trusting a black box. There's a real pipeline underneath that does extraction, clustering, synthesis across sources. You can chat with your data, push…
