Products that do what Reka Research – A SOTA research agent does
Hi HN, We built something new! It is an AI agent that can: - iterate through up to a dozen sources (web or GDrive) - reason between hops in natural language (exposed in the trace) - generate structured JSON so downstream code can consume results deterministically It not only delivers state-of-the-art performance on both SimpleQA and Reka Research-Eval, but also shatters the notion that cutting-edge AI must come at a premium, being significantly more affordable than alternatives. Tech stack highlights - Base model: Reka Flash 3.1 (trained from scratch, post-trained with RL on verifiable…

I have built many AI agents, and all frameworks felt so bloated, slow, and unpredictable. Therefore, I hacked together a minimal library that works with JSON/dict/kwargs definitions for each step, allowing you a simpler way to define reproducible agents. It supports concurrency for up to 1000 calls/min, giving you speed and predictability in your workflows. Install pip install flashlearn Input is a list of dictionaries Simply take user inputs, API responses, and calculations from other tools and feed them to FlashLearn. user_inputs = [{"query": "When was python launched?"}]…

Hi everyone, We have been developing a platform to enable professionals to build AI assistants to help them through their work. After a few months, we realized people are trying to sell basic functionalities that can be built from scratch in a couple of hours. Due to this, individuals who are not familiar with the current SOTA are misinformed about the potential of generative models. So, we decided to open up some of our most popular templates as standalone tools for free to empower individuals and set a solid standard for what people should expect. We believe the barrier to accessing…

Hi HN, I am Umer. I recently built an experimental framework called HyperFlow to explore the idea of self-improving AI agents. Usually, when an agent fails a task, we developers step in to manually tweak the prompt or adjust the code logic. I wanted to see if an agent could automate its own improvement loop. Built on LangChain and LangGraph, HyperFlow uses two agents: - A TaskAgent that solves the domain problem. - A MetaAgent that acts as the improver. The MetaAgent looks at the TaskAgent's evaluation logs, rewrites the underlying Python code, tools, and prompt files, and then tests the new…

What relai-sdk is an open-source toolkit for making AI agents reliable via a complete learning loop: simulate → evaluate → optimize. Why Agent runs are stochastic; tool-calls fail; hard to reproduce, measure, and fix at scale. It’s also hard to align behavior with goals across output quality/format, cost, and latency. We need a loop that integrates user feedback and LLM evaluators directly into the agent code (prompts, configs, models, graphs) without overfitting. How - Simulation: LLM personas, mocked MCP servers/tools, synthetic data; can condition on real traces - Evaluation:…

Hi Hacker News! We're launching Zalor, an agent testing platform. Agents often break when you tweak system prompts, swap models, or add tools. Zalor automatically generates test scenarios and evaluates your agent so you know it's reliable before deploying to production. We currently support the OpenAI Agents SDK and are onboarding other frameworks. A GitHub integration is coming so you can get feedback on every update. Looking forward to hearing feedback from people building agents.

Hey HN, we built an Econ+Finance database to let AI agents do investment research. We spend a lot of tokens to organize macro releases and SEC filings into a clean format, so that your agents have more context to do actual analysis. The problem AI agents are great at data analysis. But they become ineffective if most of their context window is spent on gathering and cleaning data, instead of validating hypotheses. Data in the wild is messy and rarely standardized. Definitions and measurements change over time. This problem is compounded by a fragmented data universe. Point solutions exist…

hello everyone, my first post! AA here, founder of ⌘ Langbase.com — we are a developer platform for building and scaling serverless AI memory agents. I know surveys can be boring, but this one’s different—it’s interactive! That's very much intentional. My team and I have been up for the last 21 hours putting together this report. This was a looot of work, so I hope y'all like it. Introducing … State of AI Agents 2024 report On Langbase, we processed 184 billion tokens and handled 786 million AI agent runs from 36K developers. From all that data plus insights from 3.4K builders who filled out…

The first ever AI peer reviewed research article just got approved. It’s kinda crazy how advanced AI have come to replace researchers. I've just been using Deep Research on ChatGPT and Perplexity a lot to write and research complex technical reports for my boss. He loves the reports and it has decreased my workload a ton but I still have some frustrations with it. None of them provide an API that gets me the same quality of output you would with the applications. I wanted something with more control on the LLMs, swappable with the reasoning new models that came out. Not just prompt →…

I have been trying to create AI retool where tooling is done via AI, to create full stack apps like internal portals, ERP apps. Which led me to an architecture where we give ai pre build component, tools and let is just do the binding, content generation work to create full stack apps. With this approach in a single prompt AI is able to generate final config jsons using chained/looped agentic llm flow and we render a full stack app with the configs at the end. I have open sourced the whole project whole code, app builder, agentic architecture, backend for you to use. Github:…

Hey HN, After GPT-3 created waves in the tech industry, a lot of AI tools were emerging and with that, some AI website builders But the results seemed way too generic to us. It felt like the developers were rushing to catch the wave instead of building a proper tool We took our time, did months of RnD and finally came up with something better than what others in the market are doing. It’s got better design output. While it’s still in beta, I wanted to show HN what we did. Will appreciate the feedback when you guys try it out. Here is the link to signup for the beta:…

I built this because I was tired of creating pull requests in 20 repositories just to change a single line of workflow job version. With Infra as AI, just mention the change. Agents work on all repos in parallel, read the docs, make a bunch of PRs and fill in the description. You can see the demo of the actual dashboard in the landing. Let me know your thoughts :) It means a lot to me!

Founder here. I built NEO, an AI agent designed specifically for AI and ML engineering workflows, after repeatedly hitting the same wall with existing tools: they work for short, linear tasks, but fall apart once workflows become long-running, stateful, and feedback-driven. In real ML work, you don’t just generate code and move on. You explore data, train models, evaluate results, adjust assumptions, rerun experiments, compare metrics, generate artifacts, and iterate; often over hours or days. Most modern coding agents already go beyond single prompts. They can plan steps, write files, run…
