Many teams connecting LLMs to external tools eventually encounter the same architectural issue: as more tools and agents are added, the integration pattern becomes an N×M mesh of direct connections. Each agent implements its own auth, retries, rate limiting, and logging; each tool needs credentials distributed to multiple places and observability becomes fragmented. We built LLM gateway with this goal to provide a single place to manage authentication, authorization, routing, and observability for MCP servers, with a path toward a more general agent-gateway architecture in the future. The…

Hey hacker news, We’re the cofounders at Psychic.dev (http://psychic.dev) where we help companies connect LLMs to private data. With the launch of Llama 2, we think it’s finally viable to self-host an internal application that’s on-par with ChatGPT, so we did exactly that and made it an open source project. We also included a vector DB and API server so you can upload files and connect Llama 2 to your own data. The RAG in RAGstack stands for Retrieval Augmented Generation, a technique where the capabilities of a large language model (LLM) are augmented by retrieving information…

Excited to share a project I’ve been building for months! Would love to receive honest feedback :) My motivation: AI is clearly going to be the interface for data. But earlier attempts (text-to-SQL, etc.) fell short — they treated it like magic. The space has matured: teams now realize that AI + data needs structure, context, and rules. So I built a product to help teams deliver “chat with data” solutions fast with full control and observability (agent tracing, quality scores, etc) — am I wrong? The product allows you to connect any LLM to any data source with centralized context…

Hi HN, I built Bot The Builder to solve a recurring problem I kept facing while building chatbots for clients: every time, I had to rebuild the same RAG stack, embed the same knowledge base, and deploy from scratch—even for small use cases. So I created a tool that lets you build and deploy AI agents from your own data (PDFs, docs, URLs, text) in under 60 seconds — no code required. You can embed the agent in any website or access it via API. ### Why I built it: - Most “AI chatbot builders” are either locked down or require complex LangChain pipelines. - I needed something fast, modular, and…

Hi HN, Matvey, Ildar, Joey, and Dominik here. If you're building LLM agents that use tools, you're probably worried about prompt injection attacks that can hijack those tools. We were too, and found that solutions like prompt-based filtering or secondary "guard" LLMs can be unreliable. Our thesis is that agent security should be handled at the network level between the agent and the LLM, just like a traditional web application firewall. So we built Archestra Platform: an open-source gateway that acts as a secure proxy for your AI agents. It's designed to be a deterministic firewall against…

If you have developer documentation and want to boost your community with AI this is for you! Just pull in the base url of the site add some customization and get a sharable link for your chat, link it anywhere you want. I saw this trend in some places like gcp with Gemini, or Langchain or Supabase ask ai, but they're all custom-implemented solutions, not everyone wants to advocate developer resources to create the rag, deploy it and maintain it, you just want devs to build with your stuff, the more they can do the better, the quicker the better, and if they get a smooth experience while…

Hey HN, We’re Basia, Fokke, and Geno from Liquidmetal AI, and we built something we wish we had a long time ago: SmartBuckets. We’ve spent a lot of time building RAG and AI systems, and honestly, the infrastructure side has always been a pain. Every project turned into a mess of vector databases, graph databases, and endless custom pipelines before you could even get to the AI part. SmartBuckets is our take on fixing that. It works like an object store, but under the hood it handles the messy stuff — vector search, graph relationships, metadata indexing — the kind of infrastructure you'd…
