24 alternatives to XSDR – Real-time event monitoring infrastructure for agents
XSDR is a unified pipeline for monitoring activity on X and the web. I built it because I wanted my agent to do things based on real-time events that were taking place instead of polling the web or scheduling cron jobs. With XSDR, you can trigger agentic loops based on real-time events. All you need is an API key, a webhook that can receive POST requests, and an idea of what you’re looking for. It currently supports X and Firehose (aka a persistent web crawler).

/agent by Firecrawl ▲569While building mendable - we found that feeding LLMs well-structured markdown improved accuracy. We also found it surprisingly hard. We found some great tools online, but none reliably handled the entire process. We wanted an API that took a URL, crawled the pages in the URL, and gave us an easy-to-use, up-to-date markdown we could feed into our index. So, we released an open-source repo and an API that crawls and turns entire websites into a markdown with just a few lines of code The API handles: - Crawling without consistent sitemaps - Infra to handle running many crawling jobs - Proxying,…

This project (Agents Observe) started as an exploration into building automation harnesses around claude code. I needed a way to see exactly what teams of agents were doing in realtime and to filter and search their output. A few interesting learnings from building and using this: - Claude code hooks are blocking - performance degrades rapidly if you have a lot of plugins that use hooks - Hooks provide a lot more useful info than OTEL data - Claude's jsonl files provide the full picture - Lifecycle management of MCP processes started by plugins is a bit kludgy at best The biggest takeaway is…

relaydfree tier, from $5/mo▲101I kept missing when my Codex agents finished, so I built relayd — a mobile dashboard that sends push notifications and lets me continue agents from my phone. Free tier available. Would love feedback.

Hi HN! We’re the team behind Fiddler, and we recently built an Agent Cache feature. It works by capturing an LLM request/response pair and, once caching is enabled, serving subsequent matching calls locally so duplicate requests never hit the provider. It’s meant to reduce three pains that show up together in agent development: token cost, feedback-loop latency, and output non-determinism. We’d love to hear your thoughts.

Hi HN, I've created a tool called Alertfor that scours the open web to find the most relevant and up-to-date answers for complex questions. You can set up alerts to receive continuous updates whenever there are changes or new information becomes available for a given question. I used an agent framework (Autogen + Sibyl) to collect and answer questions, and I schedule a Celery job to run the same query continuously every six hours. I would love to hear your feedback, suggestions, or anything else you’d like to say. Note: I'm submitting this for a second time; I'm not sure if this is against…

Web Speed▲118Hey everyone, I've been working on a tool called Web Speed. It takes web pages full of HTML and parses them into an easily readable sitemap for an AI agent. By ensuring the AI doesn't have to analyze the full HTML from the page or screenshots of the page, it makes the agent a lot cheaper and faster. It's MCP-native, so any AI that supports MCP can run it and take control of your browser for you. There are both “normal” and post-auth versions live on GitHub. What I think is the coolest thing about the project is the global cache of sitemaps. When a user visits a site, it takes the sitemap and…
