    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.

    After countless hours of solo coding, designing, and iterating, I’m both excited and nervous to share my first-ever product: PrompTessor — now live. As someone who constantly experiments with AI tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney, I often found myself stuck in a loop of trial-and-error. The issue wasn’t always the AI — it was often the prompt itself. That observation became the starting point for PrompTessor. This tool doesn’t just optimize your prompt — it analyzes it. It gives you: - A prompt score - A breakdown of strengths and weaknesses - A fully optimized version of your prompt - And…

    Hi HN, There’s been a lot of discussion lately around context graphs, decision traces, and how AI systems reason. One thing we kept running into: when AI agents make real decisions, the why behind those decisions often disappears. The context is scattered across prompts, tools, policies, and approvals. Logs show what happened, but not why it was allowed. TraceMem is an attempt to make decision context durable. It records the reasoning, authority, and context behind AI actions as a system of record, not as monitoring data, but as memory. Happy to share more details or answer questions. - Tommi

    We built Prompteus to help devs build and manage AI features without the mess — no more prompt spaghetti or scattered "hardcoded" AI API calls. Design workflows visually, deploy as APIs, and get built-in caching, logging, rate limits, and model orchestration (OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, etc.). It’s like Zapier for LLMs — but dev-friendly. Free up to 50k requests/month.

    As I was building my first few chains, I noticed how difficult it was to understand what was going on, why GPT was responding the way it was, and how I could improve it. Tinkering with my prompts was so tedious - I had to either update the prompt template and rerun the whole chain, or grab the actual prompt, take it to OpenAI playground, tweak it there, and then make a template out of it again. That's why I decided to build something better! PromptWatch allows you to tune your prompt templates in the browser in a format appropriate for LangChain, decoupling template from parameters data. It…

    I was working on a project that involved indexing GitHub repos that used really long prompts. Iterating over each section and figuring out which parts of the prompt led to which parts of the output was a quite painful. As a frontend dev, I kept thinking it would be nice if I could just 'inspect element' on particular sections of the prompt. So I built this prompt debugger with visual mapping that shows exactly which parts generate which outputs. Now that context windows are getting huge, working with massive prompts should not be as difficult. Planning to open source this soon, but I'd love…
