No one’s got money for another AI subscription. So we made our browser agent totally FREE. What's the catch? Just ads while Retriever AI fetches you leads, does your exams, applied to jobs, and sends connection requests. Think like a Claude Code or Clay level tool in your browser, but free for everyone! After 35K+ users and 7M+ workflows, we spent the last few months attacking the cost of every agent step: - switching to DeepSeek Flash - Code Mode to one shot complex workflows - optimizing for 80%+ token cache hits So that now just an ad impression covers the entire cost of the agent (LLM…

I'm Bobby, CTO of Tako. We just launched our Knowledge Search API. Our API takes natural-language prompts like "Nvidia M&A history" and returns visual answers and grounding text sourced from real-time, structured data (example: https://trytako.com/card/YHloo1Ea7GRnBr_s5r6s/). Most AI systems can’t effectively reason about real-time, structured data. One reason is access: a lot of the most valuable info is trapped in databases web crawlers can't index. Google solves this with a team of 2k+ engineers that ingest data (stocks, sports, etc) into a proprietary Knowledge…

I've been building computer-use tools for a while, and I quietly launched this about a month ago (122 Stars on GH). I figured it was worth sharing here. Over the last few months, a lot of computer-use agents have come out: Codex, Claude Code, CUA, and others. Most of them seem to work roughly like this: 1. Take a screenshot 2. Have the model predict pixel coordinates 3. Click x,y 4. Take another screenshot 5. Repeat That works, but it's slow, expensive in tokens, and fragile. If the UI shifts a few pixels, things break. And the model still doesn't know what any element actually is. But the…

What's up HN! This is Jared and Art. We met on HN and started building together. Over the last few months we've been thinking a lot about how AI agents are going to impact the future. We want agents to be something that's actually useful for normal people as well as the 10x'ers. This lead us to building Meha over the last few months, our first swing at our vision! We saw OpenAI release Operators then we said f*k it let's post. Meha is a desktop app that uses your Chrome browser to execute tasks in the background. It controls your installed Chrome browser and uses LLMs with playwright to plan…

Hey HN! My name is Christian, and I’m the co-founder of https://frigade.ai. We’ve built an AI agent that automatically learns how to use any web-based product, and in turn guides users directly in the UI, automatically generates documentation, and even takes actions on a user’s behalf. Think of it as Clippy from the old MS Office. But on steroids. And actually helpful. You can see the agent and tool-calling SDK in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPe0t3A1Vpg How is this different from other AI customer support products? Most AI "copilots" are really just…
