Agentero

Agentero — Agent friendly research workbench

What it does

Agentero is an agent-native, local-first research workbench: bring your own AI agent via ACP (BYOA), with research context kept in a local Vault of plain Markdown files. Migrate from Zotero in one click. Import via DOI/arXiv, RSS, or browser extension. Read with split-screen PDF + Agent: highlight, translate, annotate, ask questions with full document context. Obsidian-style [[wikilinks]], BibTeX export, built-in CLI & MCP for tools like ChatGPT. Free, open source (MIT).

Agentero 是 Agent-native 的文献管理工具:连接你自己的 Agent,研究上下文留在本地 Vault。从 Zotero 无缝迁移,阅读、理解、连接并复用你的研究,支持图表公式理解、Markdown 双链、知识图谱与 BibTeX 导出。

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
