Browser-Based Simulation and Modeling IDE

Free system dynamics and agent based modeling (ABM) application. Build and share models and simulations for free.

Browser-Based Simulation and Modeling IDE launched on October 26, 2014 with 11 votes and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 12 years on.

In plain words

Insight Maker is a free browser-based tool for creating system dynamics and agent-based modeling simulations. Users can build rich pictures, causal loop diagrams, and shareable simulation models without downloads or plugins. The platform lets modelers define agent behavior and explore system interactions, making it suitable for anyone wanting to visualize and simulate complex systems directly in their web browser.

  • Muscle-Mem, a behavior cache for AI agents2025 · github.com · ▲226

    Hi HN! Erik here from Pig.dev, and today I'd like to share a new project we've just open sourced: Muscle Mem is an SDK that records your agent's tool-calling patterns as it solves tasks, and will deterministically replay those learned trajectories whenever the task is encountered again, falling back to agent mode if edge cases are detected. Like a JIT compiler, for behaviors. At Pig, we built computer-use agents for automating legacy Windows applications (healthcare, lending, manufacturing, etc). A recurring theme we ran into was that businesses already had RPA (pure-software scripts), and…

  • Open-source browser for AI agentsMar 2026 · github.com · ▲155

    Hi HN, I forked chromium and built agent-browser-protocol (ABP) after noticing that most browser-agent failures aren’t really about the model misunderstanding the page. Instead, the problem is that the model is reasoning from a stale state. ABP is designed to keep the acting agent synchronized with the browser at every step. After each action (click, type, etc), it freezes JavaScript execution and rendering, then captures the resulting state. It also compiles the notable events that occurred during that action loop, such as navigation, file pickers, permission prompts, alerts, and downloads,…
