Bricks – One Click Dashboards from Your Data Using AI
Hi HN We’ve been building Bricks to make dashboard creation as simple as dropping a file. You upload your data and Bricks does the rest: • Detects the structure • Picks the most useful charts and tables • Generates plain language insights and summaries • Applies a theme • Lets you add blocks using a natural language prompt • Exports to PDF or shares as a live link We built this because creating clean dashboards from spreadsheets felt way harder than it should be. We’d love your feedback on: • How useful the first dashboard feels • Any missing chart types or formats • Anything else that could…
In plain words
Bricks is an AI-powered dashboard tool that automatically creates visualizations from uploaded data files. The software detects data structure, selects appropriate charts and tables, generates insights, and applies formatting with minimal user input. Users can customize dashboards through natural language prompts and export results as PDFs or shareable links. Designed for anyone working with spreadsheets who needs dashboard creation without extensive design or technical work.

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…
