The stack: two agents on separate boxes. The public one (nullclaw) is a 678 KB Zig binary using ~1 MB RAM, connected to an Ergo IRC server. Visitors talk to it via a gamja web client embedded in my site. The private one (ironclaw) handles email and scheduling, reachable only over Tailscale via Google's A2A protocol. Tiered inference: Haiku 4.5 for conversation (sub-second, cheap), Sonnet 4.6 for tool use (only when needed). Hard cap at $2/day. A2A passthrough: the private-side agent borrows the gateway's own inference pipeline, so there's one API key and one billing relationship…

Hi HN folks ! I am the author of AVA, a self hosted AI Voice Agent that plugs into Asterisk/Freepbx so you own all the aspects of an AI Voice agent in your own infrastructure. It uses Asterisk native Audiosocket/RTP with python engine to run STT,LLM and TTS loop. The project support several full providers openai, gemini, grok, elevenlabs out of the box and also provides options to build custom pipelines by choosing different stt tts and llm. It also supports full local agent if you have a GPU with 25GB RAM which enables realtime conversation along with tool calling. I started this…

Hi HN, excited to share this open source Zapier NLA alternative I’ve been working on. A few weeks ago I found myself struggling to automate a relatively straightforward internal workflow using an open source LLM (update Hubspot based on Airtable entry and personal information coming from web sources, and send out a summary via Slack). There was no way to interact with these tools in a robust way so I decided to build my own connectors. While the existing connectors out there are helpful to reduce the risk of hallucinations by reading data from sources, agents only become truly powerful when…

Hi! I spent 3 years evaluating LLMs for OpenAI, Anthropic, METR, and other labs. Kept running into the same problem: AI workflows break in production because there's no clean way to add human oversight, handle failures gracefully, or deploy without choosing between "all cloud" and "all self-hosted." WeaveMind is a visual workflow builder in Rust. The core idea is that humans and AI are interchangeable nodes in the same graph. When a workflow needs judgment, it pauses, notifies the team via browser extension, first responder picks it up. There's also an AI assistant that generates workflows…

I didn't want to buy a standalone computer or repurpose a laptop to run constantly so I could maintain a system to sync my LLMs, so I built this. It's a simple overview of my system, laid out in a way easy to unpack and replicate for yourself. The project is meant to be configured individually, and uniquely, since one solution might not be what's best for another. If anything, maybe it gives you some ideas on how to implement things for your own project. Best wishes, Ryan.

Hi HN — I’m Prateek Rao. My cofounders and I built Cortexa, which we describe as a Bloomberg terminal for agentic memory. A pattern I keep seeing: when agents misbehave, most teams iterate on prompts and then “fix” it by plugging in a memory layer (vector DB + RAG). That helps sometimes — but it doesn’t guarantee correctness. In practice it often introduces a new failure mode: the agent retrieves something dubious, writes it back to memory as if it’s truth, and that mistake becomes sticky. Over time you get memory pollution, circular hallucination loops, and debugging turns into log…

ChatOSS is built on Ollama. If you use Ollama, ChatOSS local works out of the box. ChatOSS is a GUI desktop app that has multiple agentic coding apps and a kanban board integrated into coding sessions. There's also a simple way to create your own AI powered apps that can run inside of ChatOSS.
