Products that do what TXT OS – Open-Source AI Reasoning, One Plain-Text File at a Time does
Hi HN, I'm excited to share TXT OS — an open-source AI reasoning engine that runs entirely inside a single `.txt` file. - No installs, no signup, no hidden code — just copy-paste the file into any LLM chat window (GPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.). - +22.4% semantic accuracy, +42.1% reasoning success, and 3.6× more stability (benchmarked on GSM8K and Truthful-QA). - Features Semantic Tree Memory, Hallucination Shield, and fully exportable logic. - MIT Licensed, zero tracking, zero ads. Why did I build this? I wanted to prove that advanced reasoning and memory could be made open, portable, and…

Hi HN, Nick here. We’re launching OpenKnowledge (https://openknowledge.ai/), a “what you see is what you get” markdown editor that has direct integrations with Claude, Codex, and other agents. Available as MacOS app or Web UI+CLI. Fully free/local and OSS. We built this because we wanted a Notion-like experience for writing and sharing markdown files across our team. Obsidian is the best alternative we tried, but found it doesn’t have a true WYSWIG UI and it didn’t integrate well with Claude/Codex outside of community plugins. So we built OpenKnowledge. It takes…

Hello Hacker News, I’m releasing TXT Blah Blah Blah Lite, an open-source plain-text AI reasoning engine powered by semantic embedding rotation. It generates 50 coherent, self-consistent answers within 60 seconds — no training, no external APIs, and zero network calls. Why this matters Six top AI models (ChatGPT, Grok, DeepSeek, Gemini, Perplexity, Kimi) independently gave it perfect 100/100 ratings. For context: Grok scores LangChain around 90 MemoryGPT scores about 92 Typical open-source LLM frameworks score 80-90 Key features Lightweight and portable: runs fully offline as a single…

i built TXTOS because my models kept forgetting and bluffing. i wanted a portable fix that works across providers without code or setup. TXTOS is a single .txt you paste into any LLM chat. it boots a small reasoning OS that gives you two things by default: a semantic tree memory that survives long threads, and a knowledge boundary guard that pushes back when the model is out of scope. what it is plain text. no scripts, no trackers, no api calls. MIT. the file encodes a protocol for reasoning, memory, and safety. you can diff it and fork it. it is not “a clever prompt”. it behaves like a tiny…

Hey folks, I’m the creator of WFGY — a semantic reasoning framework for LLMs. After open-sourcing it, I did a full technical and value audit — and realized this engine might be worth $8M–$17M based on AI module licensing norms. If embedded as part of a platform core, the valuation could exceed $30M. Too late to pull it back. So here it is — fully free, open-sourced under MIT. --- ### What does it solve? Current LLMs (even GPT-4+) lack *self-consistent reasoning*. They struggle with: - Fragmented logic across turns - No internal loopback or self-calibration - No modular thought units - Weak…

Today you can easily adopt AI coding tools because you have git for branching and rolling back if AI writes bad code. We haven't seen this same capability for data and decided to build it ourselves. Nile is a new kind of data lake, purpose built for using with AI. It can act as your data engineer or data analyst creating new tables and rolling back bad changes in seconds. We support real versions for data, schema, and ETL. We'd love your feedback on any part of what we are building - https://getnile.ai/ What do you think?

As a high school student, I love LLMs and the execution of Apple's Appel Intelligence Writing Tools, but was disappointed that nothing like that existed for Windows. So, I created Writing Tools, a better than Apple Intelligence open-source alternative that works system-wide on Windows! Key features: - Uses Google's Gemini 1.5 Flash model for superior AI-assisted writing (much better than the tiny 2B parameter Apple Intelligence model) - Works in any application with a customizable hotkey - Proofreads, rewrites, summarizes, and more - Free and privacy-focused (your API key stays local, no…

Hi all, I threw together a small prototype I am calling “Notepad.ai”. A new take on UIs for interacting with LLMs. While I enjoy using LLM’s in the chat format I wanted to see what it would be like to do it in a more long form style. It let’s you write in a pretty free form, much like Window’s Notepad, but you can choose to hit ctrl+[ to analyze the text with a preset prompt of your choosing. It has a few other small features. It’s WIP and very experimental. I would appreciate any feedback or thoughts. Video: https://youtu.be/ntdlgFmSxQY Live Demo:…
