    Hi HN! I built OpenMolt, an open-source framework for creating programmatic AI agents in Node.js. Instead of wiring complex workflows (that can break), you define agents in code with instructions, tools, integrations, and memory. The agent then plans steps and executes actions like calling APIs, updating data, or interacting with services. When things break or change, the agent can adapt instead of failing like static workflows. The goal is to make agents behave more like real software systems than prompt scripts. It includes: - a planning/execution loop - tool and API integrations -…

    Hey HN, I've been working on an open-source framework for creating AI agents that evolve, communicate, and collaborate to solve complex tasks. The Evolving Agents Framework allows agents to: Reuse, evolve, or create new agents dynamically based on semantic similarity Communicate and delegate tasks to other specialized agents Continuously improve by learning from past executions Define workflows in YAML, making it easy to orchestrate agent interactions Search for relevant tools and agents using OpenAI embeddings Support multiple AI frameworks (BeeAI, etc.) Current Status & Roadmap This is…

    Hello HN! I'm the author of Ant, a JavaScript ecosystem built around a runtime with its own JavaScript engine. Ant also includes a package manager, the ants.land package registry, a platform for deploying and hosting applications, and Ant Desktop for building native desktop apps with web technologies, similar to Electron. The goal is for these pieces to work as one coherent platform while remaining compatible with the wider JavaScript ecosystem. It's still early, and I'd appreciate any feedback on the overall direction or what you'd like to see from an e2e alternative to the existing…

    Hi HN, we build an open-source operating system extension for orchestrating robot swarms fully decentralized. This first beta version allows you to create fully decentralized robot swarms. The system will set up a wireless mesh network and run a p2p networking stack on top of it, such that nodes can interact with each other through various abstractions using our SDKs (Rust, Python, TypeScript) or a CLI. We hope this is a step toward better inter-robot communication (and a fun project if you have a few Raspberry Pis lying around). Our mesh network is created by B.A.T.M.A.N.-adv and we’ve…

    We built an ant colony simulation as an internal hiring challenge at Moment and decided to open it up publicly. You write a program in a custom assembly-like (we call it ant-ssembly) instruction set that controls 200 ants. Each ant can sense nearby cells (food, pheromones, home, other ants) but has no global view. The only coordination mechanism is pheromone trails, which ants can emit and sense them, but that's it. Your program runs identically on every ant. The goal is to collect the highest percentage of food across a set of maps. Different map layouts (clustered food, scattered,…

    Hi HN! I’m Tony, co-founder of Inngest. I wanted to share AgentKit, our Typescript multi-agent library we’ve been cooking and testing with some early users in prod for months. Although OpenAI’s Agents SDK has been launched since, we think an Agent framework should offer more deterministic and flexible routing, work with multiple model providers, embrace MCP (for rich tooling), and support the unstoppable and growing community of TypeScript AI developers by enabling a smooth transition to production use cases. This is why we are building AgentKit, and we’re really excited about it for a few…

    Built this because I had multiple OpenClaw instances running with no good way to manage them together. SwarmClaw is the control plane. Connect to OpenClaw gateways and 14 other providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Groq, Ollama, DeepSeek, Mistral, xAI, Claude Code CLI, Codex CLI and more). Build agents with custom tools and personalities, run multi-agent LangGraph workflows, queue work on a Kanban board, and bridge agents to Discord, Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, Signal, Teams and others. Under the hood: per-agent FTS5 + vector memory, sandboxed Deno/Python execution, JS plugin hooks, and…

    Hi HN! Today me and qianli_cs want to share a new open-source project we've been working on called Durable Swarm. It's a drop-in replacement for OpenAI’s Swarm that augments it with durable execution to make your agentic workflows resilient to failures, so that if they are interrupted or restarted, they automatically resume from their last completed steps. https://github.com/dbos-inc/durable-swarm We believe that as multi-agent workflows become more common, longer-running, and more interactive, it's important to make them reliable. If an agent spends hours waiting for…
