What it does

Composable agents. Flexible task flows. One lightweight framework.

Chainless is a lightweight, modular framework to build task-oriented AI agents and orchestrate them in intelligent flows.

Design agents, connect tools, and orchestrate taskflows in Python - predictable, composable, and fully in your control. Chainless focuses on what truly matters fast iteration, composable design, and effortless orchestration. It’s built for developers who value clarity, control, and speed. Spin up an agent pipeline in seconds. Minimal dependencies, clear APIs, and no configuration pain. Every piece — Tools, Agents, and TaskFlows — can be reused, combined, and extended with ease. No heavy runtimes or bloated abstractions — just Python functions and clean control over logic. Bring your own model — OpenAI, Ollama, Groq, DeepSeek, or custom.

    Hello HN! The day has finally come to stop adding features and start sharing what I've been building the last 5-6 months. It's a bit of CrewAI, OpenDevon, LangFuse/Cloud all in one, providing devs who prefer TypeScript an integrated framework thats provides a lot out of the box to start experimenting and building agents with. It started after peeking at the LangChain docs a few times and never liking the example code. I began experimenting with automating a simple Jira request from the engineering team to add an index to one of our Google Spanner databases (for context I'm the…

  • Freeact – A Lightweight Library for Code-Action Based Agents2025 · github.com · ▲122

    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…

  • Tapflow 2.0▲1,125

    We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
