Hey HN, we’re Avi, Kiet, and Satya. We’re building Superset, an open-source terminal made for managing a bunch of coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc) in parallel. - Superset makes it easy to spin up git worktrees and automatically setup your environment - Agents and terminal tabs are isolated to worktrees, preventing conflicts - Built-in hooks [0] to notify when your coding agents are done/needs attention, - A diff viewer to review the changes and make PRs quickly We’re three engineers who’ve built and maintained large codebases, and kept wanting to work on as many features in…

Hello! We just released freeact (https://github.com/gradion-ai/freeact), a lightweight agent library that empowers language models to act as autonomous agents through executable code actions. By enabling agents to express their actions directly in code rather than through constrained formats like JSON, freeact provides a flexible and powerful approach to solving complex, open-ended problems that require dynamic solution paths. * Supports dynamic installation and utilization of Python packages at runtime * Agents learn from feedback and store successful code actions as…

Hi HN, We’re Kiet, Avi, and Satya. We built an open-source desktop app that helps you run a lot of CLI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, etc. in parallel on your machine. The purpose is to keep you unblocked - spin up new coding tasks while others run, and quickly switch between them as they need your attention. Superset aims to be a superset of all the best AI coding tools. We want to support and stay compatible with whatever CLI agents you already use - improving your workflow instead of replacing it. How it works: - One-click Git worktree creation with automatic environment setup -…

For almost two years, we've been developing Charlie, a coding agent that is autonomous, cloud-based, and focused primarily on TypeScript development. During that time, the explosion in growth and development of LLMs and agents has surpassed even our initially very bullish prognosis. When we started Charlie, we were one of the only teams we knew fully relying on agents to build all of our code. We all know how that has gone — the world has caught up, but working with agents hasn't been all kittens and rainbows, especially for fast moving teams. The one thing we've noticed over the last 3…

Hey HN, we're Julian and Glenn, and we're building stagewise (https://stagewise.io), a frontend coding agent that lives inside your browser on localhost and operates on local codebases. You can spawn the agent into locally running web apps in dev mode with `npx stagewise` from the project root. The agent lets you then click on HTML Elements in your app, enter prompts like 'increase the height here' and will implement the changes in your source code. Before stagewise, we were building a vertical SaaS for logistics from scratch and loved using prototyping tools like v0 or lovable to…
