Products that do what Routing24 – free route optimization agent for Claude Cowork/WebMCP does
I've been building https://routing24.com for a while, a free route optimization and planning app for businesses. One of the things that bothered me for quite a time is inability of browser agents to work with Routing24. We have tons of natural tasks for AI: - data ingestion, to figure out data coming from user's side (csv and Excel); - geocoding quality validation (to explain user what they need to correct and their addresses and how); - steep learning curve for business users (who have sense of what they want from route optimization, but setting up the model takes significant time…

We built a model router that plugs into coding agents (e.g. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.) and intelligently sends requests to the best model to serve them. Here's a quick demo of running it locally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isKhAyivtfM. At Weave, we write most of our code with AI, and it's been getting more expensive. This came to a head when Opus 4.7 was released and, thanks to its tokenizer changes, our costs shot up. We knew we didn't need Opus for everything but we didn't want to lose out on the intelligence for the cases where you really need it. So we decided…

Hi HN! I built Routing24 to make route optimization easier and accessible for small businesses and solo drivers. With Google Maps, you can plan routes between a few locations for free, but it doesn’t support efficient multi-stop planning, handling multiple vehicles, or adding specific business rules like delivery time windows. Many tools offer route optimization for around $30 per vehicle per month, but Routing24 provides it completely free. Optimization happens fully on the client-side, using your device’s resources instead of cloud servers. The interface is simple for now: you can…

No one’s got money for another AI subscription. So we made our browser agent totally FREE. What's the catch? Just ads while Retriever AI fetches you leads, does your exams, applied to jobs, and sends connection requests. Think like a Claude Code or Clay level tool in your browser, but free for everyone! After 35K+ users and 7M+ workflows, we spent the last few months attacking the cost of every agent step: - switching to DeepSeek Flash - Code Mode to one shot complex workflows - optimizing for 80%+ token cache hits So that now just an ad impression covers the entire cost of the agent (LLM…

Hey there HN! We're Antonio and Luca, and we're excited to introduce Smooth, a state-of-the-art browser agent that is 5x faster and 7x cheaper than Browser Use (https://docs.circlemind.co/performance). We built Smooth because existing browser agents were slow, expensive, and unreliable. Even simple tasks could take minutes and cost dollars in API credits. We started as users of Browser Use, but the pain was obvious. So we built something better. Smooth is 5x faster, 7x cheaper, and more reliable. And along the way, we discovered two principles that make agents actually work.…

TL;DR: Web search open router that routes agent web search across providers (Exa, Parallel, Tavily, Brave, SerpAPI etc.), and traces web search results with quality metrics, so you can visualize whether a bad agent run is a web search problem or a reasoning problem. I work in venture capital, and before that I worked in information retrieval. When agents went viral, I built a due diligence agent for my day job. I vibe-coded the first version. It was pretty bad. My first reaction is to blame the model. I tried to change backend models, maybe because Fable doesn't want to help me do people…

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 Community, I built MCP360 after spending weeks integrating APIs for an AI agent project. Each tool needed its own setup, auth, billing, and maintenance. When any APIs changed, my integrations broke. I got tired of it. MCP360 is a single gateway giving AI agents access to 100+ tools through one config block. Search engines, web scraping, SEO, e-commerce data, maps, domain tools, and more. Real example: Instead of managing Google Search, web scraping, SERP tracking, and keyword research as 4 separate subscriptions (4 bills, 4 auth systems, 4 points of failure), you connect once. Works…

Hey HN! We are building HarnessRouter, a canonical API for running Codex, Claude Code, Hermes, and other managed agent harnesses as your product backend. Before building HarnessRouter, I used to build our own agent harness for our products. I tried LangGraph, agent SDKs from different vendors, pydantic, LLM tool use / function call, and so on. It's a very heavy lifting engineering effort, and I am disappointed about the agent deliveries compared to what Codex, CC can deliver. That changed my mindset. The frontier labs and famous open source communities are already putting so much…

Hi y'all. Been working on something that should've been made a long time ago imo. It compiles codebases into O(1) hashmaps that the agent queries to discover the structure of your code/answer questions/write code. It also does complete static analysis checks on any writes the agent makes. Don't take my word for it though. Here are the benchmarks: https://benzi.fly.dev/benchmark. on 2/20 tests, Claude Code (mostly Sonnet on one task) regressed or timed out. Benzi didn't because of course, it has a map it can query and not get lost in the sauce. On the other 18 it…

Hi HN, I’m one of the builders of Rayline. Rayline is a Claude Code compatible LLM gateway. It intercepts and overrides claude code’s internal routing and lets you route subagent calls to different models instead. For example, you can run the main agent on Opus, some subagents on cloud-hosted open models, and other subagents on-device. We’ve seen others implement routing for claude code as tools the agent can invoke. In our experience, that doesn’t work well because it requires the main agent to use tokens to think about + call the tools, and LLMs are generally a very inefficient way to make…

Hey HN, I noticed there are 1,000+ MCP skills on GitHub with zero way for creators to charge for them. So I built Agent37. Selling Claude skills today means asking customers to download your skill, set up Claude Code on their laptops, configure MCP servers, and pray it works. No trial, no updates, often you're just handing over the source. Agent37 lets creators upload a skill, share a link, and anyone can try it instantly (no Claude account needed). Built-in Stripe, creators keep 80%. Looking for feedback on the approach. Would you use something like this?

Hi HN, Even the smartest AI coding agents stall when the fix isn’t in their training data. AgruSeek runs an agentic search loop across ~30 M developer sources to dig up solutions normal web search misses. REAL‑WORLD USES • Found an undocumented `--runtime‑bypass` flag (buried in a 2017 gist) • Pulled actual Claude Code pricing from forum anecdotes - no “contact us” paywalls • Traced a race condition by cross‑linking five issue trackers across forks WHY POST NOW We’ve abused AgruSeek internally for three weeks; we’d love outside stress tests. Access is free (limited seats for Beta, no…

I’m the developer behind the Web MCP at Bright Data. We just launched a free tier so any AI Engineer/ Vibe coder can give their LLM real web access — 5,000 requests/month at no cost. Unlike most MCP servers that wrap a single SaaS API (e.g. Gmail, GitHub), the Web MCP wraps the entire internet. It handles JS-heavy sites, auto-solves CAPTCHAs, and returns clean Markdown your model can use. Free tier includes: search_engine → search results from Google/Bing/Yandex scrape_as_markdown → fetch any URL as clean, LLM-friendly Markdown (with CAPTCHA handling) Quick start:…

Hey HN, I'm excited to share rtrvr.ai, a Chrome extension that brings the power of AI agents to your everyday web browsing. It's designed to automate complex web tasks, extract structured data from any website, and integrate with your favorite tools as you browse using AI Function Calling [ie: “Send this page summary as Slack message”]. The core idea is to let anyone, even non-developers, leverage the power of web automation and data extraction using natural language. Imagine being able to: Automate lead generation: Extract hundreds of LinkedIn profiles to Google Sheets, complete with…

A friend and I built this as a side project to help us collaborate on files with our agents. Claude / Codex kept outputting .md and .html files which are great until we needed to share them, so we built this small website to help with that. Agent can either use an HTTP + Skill or an MCP which also uses MCP Apps to add widgets to Claude Desktop / Mobile chat. Would love any feedback and hopefully this helps someone else as it did us!

Hi HN, We’re building https://www.switchpoint.dev – a drop-in replacement for OpenAI’s API that reduces LLM cost by smartly routing across models (e.g., Claude, Gemini, GPT-4) depending on subject and difficulty of the task. Why we built this: LLM costs are spiraling—especially for products doing retrieval, agentic reasoning, or even just high-volume chat. We were frustrated with paying GPT-4 rates when most queries didn’t need it. So we built a router that: - Starts with cheaper/free models (like Llama 8B, 4o-mini, 2.0 flash) - Streams responses and upgrades on failure - Acts…
