    Hey HN! We built Notte, a browser infrastructure and agents platform. Many of our users automate UI workflows or extract data from sites that don’t have APIs. In practice, we noticed that once an agent understands how a site works, parts of the task can often run without a browser by interacting with the same network requests the site uses. So we built Anything API: describe a browser task, and our agent explores the site, builds a function, tests it against your description, and deploys a callable REST endpoint. No infra to manage. How the build works: - Describe the task (best results come…

    Hello HN! The day has finally come to stop adding features and start sharing what I've been building the last 5-6 months. It's a bit of CrewAI, OpenDevon, LangFuse/Cloud all in one, providing devs who prefer TypeScript an integrated framework thats provides a lot out of the box to start experimenting and building agents with. It started after peeking at the LangChain docs a few times and never liking the example code. I began experimenting with automating a simple Jira request from the engineering team to add an index to one of our Google Spanner databases (for context I'm the…

    In the last few years I've been doing a lot of technical writing, both for my own programming blog and others, and I've noticed there is a lack of good tools for this kind of writing. Whether that was a programming blog post or documentation, I always had to move back an forth between different editors, and sometimes even other apps for content management and the actual content publication. A lot of copy-pasting, and wasted time. Based on this experience I decided to try and build a tool that could provide a good experience for this kind of content from writing to publishing. This (I call it…
