    Tilde started from a simple observation: AI agents are only as useful as the environment they can work in. Giving an agent a prompt is easy. Giving it the right files, credentials, tools, context, and execution environment, safely and repeatably, is much harder. Over the past year, we learned a lot

    Hi HN, I built webctl because I was frustrated by the gap between curl and full browser automation frameworks like Playwright. I initially built this to solve a personal headache: I wanted an AI agent to handle project management tasks on my company’s intranet. I needed it to persist cookies across sessions (to handle SSO) and then scrape a Kanban board. Existing AI browser tools (like current MCP implementations) often force unsolicited data into the context window—dumping the full accessibility tree, console logs, and network errors whether you asked for them or not. webctl is an attempt…

    I build runcell, an AI Agent in Jupyter Lab. It can understand context (data, charts, code, etc) in your jupyterlab and write code for you. Runcell has built-in tools that can edit or execute cells, read/write files, search web, etc. Comparing with AI IDE like cursor, runcell focus on building context for code agent in jupyter environment, which means the agent can understand different types of information in jupyter notebook, access kernel state, edit/execute specific cells instead of handling jupyter as static ipynb file. Comparing with jupyter ai, runcell is more like an agent…
