    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 HN! I’m Paul, founder of Traceprompt. We’re building an open-source SDK that wraps your AI agents and generates tamper-proof audit trails, so you can prove what agent did what, when and with which model. You can check out the Node SDK (more languages coming soon): https://github.com/traceprompt/traceprompt-node We built Traceprompt because LLMs are being used everywhere without a clear plan for audit and compliance. From research and discussions with other devs, I often see fintech and healthcare teams manually stitching together API Gateway, CloudWatch Logs and S3…

    Traces is a new way to share and discover agent traces. You can setup a personal or team account, and share publicly or privately (in a team). We use Traces internally to capture and share our agent conversations. Every PR has a Traces link attached to it. We even have skills that can automate that for you (run 'traces setup' after install). You might ask: 1) Why would I share traces? Well, we have found ourselves wanting to learn from each other on how to prompt different models and agents. We built Traces as a tool for teams to learn that together, and for us to learn that as an open…

    Hi HN, We are researchers from ETH Zurich interested in the real-world adoption and impact of Code Agents. To measure this, we built a dashboard, scraping all public PRs on GitHub, analyzing which are created by different code agents (Codex, Jules, Copilot, Devin, etc.), and measuring their merge rates, sliced by various repository and PR characteristics. https://insights.logicstar.ai Since mid-May, we've analyzed over 10 million PRs and already found some interesting trends: Usage is high, but shallow. Agents submit ~7% of all PRs overall, but only ~1–2% on popular repos. Most…

    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…
