AI that solves group scheduling – InstantGroups
Hey HN, I built InstantGroups to finally solve the scheduling mess that happens any time three or more people try to meet, especially across teams, companies, and time zones. The idea came out of pain: At my last company leading growth I was constantly coordinating sales calls with multiple stakeholders, panel interviews, and team planning sessions, and despite shared calendars, nothing worked once multiple busy people were involved. Existing tools fell short for wrangling groups, especially with external participants. So I built something better. InstantGroups is an AI group meeting…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hey HN, I built InstantGroups to finally solve the scheduling mess that happens any time three or more people try to meet, especially across teams, companies, and time zones. The idea came out of pain: At my last company leading growth I was constantly coordinating sales calls with multiple stakeholders, panel interviews, and team planning sessions, and despite shared calendars, nothing worked once multiple busy people were involved. Existing tools fell short for wrangling groups, especially with external participants. So I built something better. InstantGroups is an AI group meeting scheduler that: - Collects availability (via calendar integrations, natural language, or even text/email - replies) - Confirms a mutual time with everyone involved - Sends invites + reminders automatically - Follows up intelligently if no time is found on the first pass No logins are required for guests. No stale availability polling. No manual back-and-forth. Just give it the meeting details and participant list, and InstantGroups takes over from there. We’ve been testing and it's saving hours per week. Would love feedback, ideas, or thoughts!

Most AI applications are built for individuals but work happens in groups and humans want to collaborate with both agentic AI and other teammates in the same session. We created Hybrid Groups for that purpose. In Hybrid Groups, agents join group chats as virtual team members in Slack and GitHub. They participate in group conversations, proactively contribute when needed and perform actions on behalf of individual users, like managing your calendar for meeting suggestions or updating your todo list without sharing access to your private resources to the group. The project is open-source at…

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…

Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
