24 alternatives to SlopIt – A dead-simple CMS for your AI agent

Hey HN. I built a dead-simple CMS for your AI agents — https://slopit.io Kept it minimal and agentic-first. No dashboards, no UI for human edits - grab a key, drop it into your Openclaw / Cowork / Codex and you're up and running in seconds. I wanted something lightweight for my own company blog and Ghost, Notion, every headless CMS all felt like overkill once an agent was doing the actual writing. Launch post (slopped by my own claw) — https://blog.slopit.io/this-blog-post-is-slop/ Self-hostable, MIT license if you wanna roll your own. Lots more…

    Hey folks, I've been building Clark solo, with the aim to match Manus agent (I really like it!) in features and capabilities, but also in its relentless ability to just complete tasks while using browser, computer etc. So far I think I've achieved 1:1 core feature parity: 1) computer use agent 2) browser use in same thread 3) wide and deep research - clark calls clark 4) integration with google tools Would love to have community feedback and for you to try it out, a couple thousand people already using it daily for very broad use cases. You can use this referral link, that hopefully works…

    Viberia▲146

    Hey HN, This is my take on the agent harness. Everything on an isometric map. Agents are grouped into "buildings" that run in a sequence or a loop; e.g., the CodeForge has an agent that writes a PRD, another one that implements, and a third that reviews. Everything is customizable, you build your own buildings/teams however you want. It's a Tauri app, really light (about 8x less energy than the closest competitor I benchmarked, so it actually runs from a coffee shop on battery). It's macOS only for now, but ping me if you are willing to test the Windows or Linux version. I've been…

    Originally this was more like moltbook — you could plug in your agent, have it post early AI-built projects, and people would review them. But it was honestly pretty boring, and almost no one engaged with it. So I scrapped it. Now the agents just do everything themselves — they share opinions, come up with ideas, review each other, leave feedback, revise things, and sometimes argue. There are about 40 agents right now. They randomly pick from different paid/free models, crawl news based on their preferences, do some research, and then remix that into new ideas. The whole “bury or revive…

    Hi HN, Lately Github PRs have been drowning in a flood of AI slop. I’ve been seeing it myself, and I’m not the only one: https://x.com/mitchellh/status/2011819428061855915 I think it’s great that folks are using AI tools to code faster and better, but too many folks are abusing them to make low-quality contributions to public repos. This takes a lot of reviewers’ mindshare. IMO there needs to be a mechanism to flag low-effort PRs with AI slop, so you can just skip reading them. So I built one: https://haystackeditor.com/slop-detector It’s a simple AI…

    I know we are very wary of AI slop but disclaimer: AI was used. I don't think that it is slop though and it was mostly used for formatting.

    I’ve been building a crowd-sourced AI detection benchmark. Two responses to the same prompt — one from a real human (pre-2022, provably pre prevalence of AI slop on the internet), one generated by AI. You pick the slop. Three wrong and you’re out. The dataset: 16K human posts from Reddit, Hacker News, and Yelp, each paired with AI generations from 6 models across two providers (Anthropic and OpenAI) at three capability tiers. Same prompt, length-matched, no adversarial coaching — just the model’s natural voice with platform context. Every vote is logged with model, tier, source, response…

    What it is: A fully functional academic journal where every paper must be co-authored by an LLM, and peer review is conducted by a rotating panel of 5 LLMs (Claude, Grok, GPT-4o, Gemini, Llama). If 3+ vote "publish," it's published. If one says "Review could not be parsed into JSON," we celebrate it as a feature. The stack: React + Vite frontend, Convex backend (real-time DB + scheduled functions), Vercel hosting, OpenRouter for multi-model orchestration. Each review costs ~$0.03 and takes 4-8 seconds. Why I built it: Academic publishing is already slop—LLMs write drafts, LLMs review papers,…

    Ok, so maybe "how to revive the internet" would be more accurate, but if you're reading this, I got your attention, right? Here's why I want you to read on: I built a free extension, D-slop, to disincentivize anyone from posting AI writing, and eventually images and video as well, on the internet. For writing, it checks known vocab and punctuation tells, as well as subtler tells related to cadence, and assigns it a score subject to an adjustable threshold. If the text fails, users have the option to flag offending text, hide it, or block the page entirely (with the option to see anyway). For…

    I built a minimal opensource CMS, I use it myself for my blog and for other SaaS. l love blogging, and sometimes I post random thoughts on my blog. The only thing is, I always did it with .md files, which is fine too However, I was excited about the idea of using a CMS that was very minimal and avoiding the option of connecting something like WordPress or other big platforms. Open source (if you want to fork it or contribute) and free to use (unless I see you have a million views haha). Star the repo if you like it!

    Hey HN! Thank you for all the support and feedback on my original submission 2 months ago. I've been improving the backend using a MCTS/AlphaZero approach and it's currently producing much better results. My long term goal is to allow users to manage multiple projects, deployed autonomously, both from scratch and by making continual updates all prompted with natural language. The cost of each project has been lowered to $9 as performance with smaller models has improved (I migrated from Claude-3-Opus to gemini-1.5-flash). Thanks for checking it out!

    Hi HN, I'm thrilled to share with you think, a command-line tool that I developed while diving back into the programming scene. For the past few years, my focus had shifted from hands-on programming to managerial roles, my last one being at Affirm (I started Affirm's Polish office). However, I recently left my job to revisit my passion for coding and see if I could still write code that works. Not to mention that with what is currently going on in AI if you are a developer this probably the best possible time for a sabbatical in human history :) My first attempt was with LangChain, but I…

    Hello HN, I’ve been building AI agents lately and ran into a common "Context Bloat" problem. When an agent has 20+ skills, stuffing every system prompt, reference doc, and tool definition into a single request quickly hits token limits and degrades model performance (the "lost in the middle" problem). To solve this, I built OpenSkills, an open-source SDK that implements a Progressive Disclosure Architecture for agent skills. The Core Concept: Instead of loading everything upfront, OpenSkills splits a skill into three layers: Layer 1 (Metadata): Light-weight tags and triggers (always loaded…

    I built a tool to roast landing pages with AI agents. I was gathering feedback from watching landing page roast videos, and figured out I could prompt LLMs to analyse a screenshot and roast based on the same criteria. It's not 100% accurate yet, but it has been really insightful when I've tested it on my own websites. Let me know what you think!

    I love Claude Code but got tired of having nothing to do while I waited for sessions to finish, and managing multiple sessions on the command line was getting annoying and I kept losing track of the tabs. I originally built a quick and dirty version of this for my own use, but decided to polish it up and make it open source. The idea is that you should be able to do all your agentic coding without leaving the tool or needing to go back to a traditional IDE. You can view the diffs, run your program, and merge your changes back. I support OSX and Linux right now, but could add Windows support…

    About 6 years ago I wrote a blog post [0] with some ideas on how to help popular open source maintainers deal with all the noise on Github. Patted myself in the back and never did anything about it :) There's recently been a lot more discussion around this due to AI, so I've built a simple tool called "Slop Meter" [1]. It gives maintainers a quick snapshot of the user's history in open source: 1) Do they just open issues and expect you to do everything, or will they put in the work to fix the problems and open a PR? What's the issues : PR ratio? 2) If they do contribute, what percentage of…
