Nimbus▲89Hi HN, I'm Anil. Nimbus is a desktop browser with an AI agent built into it. The UX is shamelessly inspired by Claude Code: a chat bar at the bottom, an agent log above it, and the webpage itself when its needed. This is mainly a UX experiment for me. And also the reason it isn't a Chrome extension: once you have a chat bar that understands intent, the URL field is redundant. You shouldn't have two places to tell the browser what you want. I didn't want to bolt an agent onto an existing browser's chrome and end up with duplicated controls everywhere — I wanted full freedom to redesign the…

Hey HN, we're building Thread (https://thread.dev/) an open-source Jupyter Notebook that has a bunch of AI features built in. The easiest way to think of Thread is if the chat interface of OpenAI code interpreter was fused into a Jupyter Notebook development environment where you could still edit code or re-run cells. To check it out, you can see a video demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq1_eoO6w-c We initially got the idea when building Vizly (https://vizly.fyi/) a tool that lets non-technical users ask questions from their data. While…

Nimbus▲8Nimbus observes your screen as you work and uses AI to understand what you’re doing and why. It asks clarifying questions in real time to capture intent, then organizes everything into structured tasks, steps, and platform knowledge for computer use agents via MCP. The result is that your agent can do your work the way you do it, on internal tools it’s never seen, without being spoon fed every step. We think the missing piece in the agent stack is a production layer for workflow knowledge. I’d love any feedback on the product, especially the privacy tradeoffs of screen observation and…
