24 alternatives to Yansu

Hi HN Most teams run on a dozen SaaS tools and use maybe 20% of each. The rest is someone else's workflow that you're paying for. We built Yansu to fix that. It learns how you work — your desktop, your Slack, your Teams — and proactively builds bespoke tools tailored to you. You don’t need to prompt. It sees a pattern, builds a solution, and surfaces it for you to use or toss. Like, I do the same things before every call: look through Linkedin, see any open threads on email, read the latest blog/news of the company and any relevant slack conversations. Yansu noticed and built me an app…

    Tonkotsu▲386

    Hey HN, I’m Derek, part of a small team of ex-Facebook engineers and designer building Tonkotsu. We strongly believe that the future of software development requires every developer to become the tech lead of a team of agents. That shift requires new tools and workflows that go beyond existing IDEs or terminal agents. Tonkotsu is our take on that next-gen tool. It’s a desktop app that lets developers plan technical work, delegate many coding tasks in parallel, and then review the diffs — all in one place. Our main difference is that we tightly integrate this plan > delegate > verify loop and…

    Nino is a radical approach to solve the app chaos problem for today's knowledge worker. I believe there are still too many tools; even using them becomes work in itself. I'm building all these apps from scratch in one place, using the same database and UI, with the flexibility to eventually support the majority of work from one "superapp." Currently there are 18 apps (called "modules") on Nino: - Database types: Sheet, Form, Calendar, Gallery, Board, Todo, List - Composition types: Doc, Slide, Drive, Notebook, Canvas, Grid, Blog, Site - Communication types: Channel, Chat, Meet I want to…

    We been helping mid-market companies for the past 1.5 years and finally ready to share the internal platform publicly. Yansu (严肃) is a AI coding platform that use spec + TDD to build complex software projects. It is more like a SOP than coding agent. We focus on understanding requirements and checking outcomes against those requirements while iterating the code based on the tests. Yansu tries to learn as much tribal knowledge as possible. These are things you don’t write down in google doc or Notion. Yansu absorbs these knowledge by continuously talking to users and distilling learning from…

    SimplAIfree tier, from $5/mo▲589

    Hey HN, I've been building SimplAI for the past several months — it's a platform for building, testing, and deploying LLM-powered agents and multi-step workflows. The problem I kept running into: spinning up an AI agent pipeline means stitching together prompt management, tool calling, memory, evals, and deployment — often from scratch every time. SimplAI tries to be the layer that handles all of that so you can focus on what your agent actually does. What it does: - Visual + code-first workflow builder for chaining LLM calls, tools, and APIs - Built-in prompt versioning and A/B testing…

    CREAO▲738

    Hi HN! I'm North, DevRel from the CREAO team. We are a 15-20 person startup, and we spent a couple of months building this vibe coding product. We've been exploring the possibilities of how agents should assist people's work for productivity in various scenarios. Three months ago, we noticed that all small teams and companies are struggling with subscribing to multiple SaaS tools that never fit their exact needs. Pretty much all founders and SMB professionals need customized productivity tools that fit their daily work routines, but they don't have developers to build these lightweight tools…

    Atono▲189

    We kept asking "why did we build it this way?" and spending 20 minutes hunting through Jira, Slack, and GitHub for answers. It was a symptom of a bigger "Jira-problem". So we built Atono (https://atono.io). The idea: Stories that don't die when you ship. Everything - requirements, code changes, bugs, decisions - stays in one place. Our take (might not be for everyone): -Feature flags live in the story, not another tool -Feature engagement for you to see if people use what you built -Context > process What's in it: -Toggle feature flags right in the story -See usage graphs without…

    Nerve▲122

    Hi HN, Tanooj and Aziz here from Nerve. We’re building a work AI that handles full end to end workflows rather than just chat replies. It starts with proactively figuring out what’s important to you - anything you need to take action on or updates on any projects - and then moves all the way through the process. Nerve gathers the relevant information, drafts documents, writes jira tickets, sends emails, etc. What this looks like in practice is: say an account executive has a sales call that gets recorded into Gong, Nerve automatically picks up the call, and extracts the next steps. Users can…

    Outlit▲368

    Hey HN, I'm Leo, a cofounder at Outlit. After a year of coding, we have finally launched Outlit. Outlit was born post ChatGPT when we realized that AI can help empower everyday people to take on contract work and not have to rely on expensive lawyers all the time. Right now we are mainly focused on SaaS Agreements but have playbooks for other agreements (Partnership, Services, NDA). We also have a cool knowledge base feature that lets you semantically search across all your contracts. Would love some honest feedback. Thanks HN.

    Today we are launching YourGPT 2.0, an update focused on making support, sales, and operational workflows work together more smoothly in one system. This release improves how workflows are built, how the platform connects to external tools, and how context is maintained across long, multi-channel interactions. AI Studio now makes it much easier to create and refine workflows. You can describe the process you want in natural language and the system generates the full workflow for you. It can also help debug issues by showing what happened at each step and explaining where things went off…

    For years, I was stuck. Trapped in a loop. Every new project, every team initiative – it began with the same soul-crushing setup. Hours. Gone. Not on the actual work, mind you. But on the meta-work. Defining tasks. Sketching forms. Mapping workflows. Hunting for that 'perfect' template that never quite fit. Just trying to get to zero. To a starting line where meaningful work could actually begin. Most project management tools? They're brilliant once things are up and running. Tracking, collaborating, reporting – they nail it. But that initial blank canvas? That moment you’re staring at an…

    I built Yahini as an in-house tool while running my content marketing agency for 6 years, and what started as a simple tool for my team, turned into a full SaaS product. I learned React for a year through tutorials and small projects, then spent another year building Yahini into what it is today. I used Vite and React Router, using Cloudflare Pages to host the frontend and Cloudflare Workers + Supabase for the backend. Supabase handles auth and database, Resend manages emails, Stripe handles payments, Remix powers the marketing site, and Docusaurus runs the documentation. I picked these…
