What it does

Checksum is an AI-native continuous testing platform for engineering teams shipping faster than manual QA can keep up. It generates, runs, and auto-heals end-to-end and API tests on every pull request, all as standard Playwright code in your own repo. When a test fails, Checksum tells you whether it found a real bug or a stale test, then fixes the false failures so your suite keeps pace with your coding agents.

The Checksum platform generates, runs, and heals your test suite automatically. Full E2E and API coverage with no manual maintenance.

Checksum is a continuous quality platform that runs alongside CI/CD: testing, healing, and validating automatically so teams can ship more code without trading speed for reliability. Creates production-ready Playwright tests. When your app evolves, the agent automatically heals broken tests. Creates production-ready Playwright tests.

    Checksum – generate and maintain end-to-end tests using AI2023 · ▲78

    Hey HN! I’m Gal, co-founder at Checksum (https://checksum.ai). Checksum is a tool for automatically generating and maintaining end-to-end tests using AI. I cut my teeth in applied ML in 2016 at a maritime tech company called TSG, based in Israel. When I was there, I worked on a cool product that used machine learning to detect suspicious vehicles. Radar data is pretty tough for humans to parse, but a great fit for AI – and it worked very well for detecting smugglers, terrorist activity, and that sort of thing. In 2021, after a few years working in big tech (Lyft, Google), I joined…

    Hey HN, I'm Paul, the founder of cubic.dev, an AI code reviewer for complex codebases. Over the past few months we’ve completely rebuilt our detection engine, and I wanted to share a few things we did to get more out of LLMs. Context: cubic specializes in code reviews for teams with complex codebases, like Better Auth, Cal.com, and PostHog. Our users have high standards. It’s important that reviews have real depth and actually understand the codebase. In the past, we've sometimes struggled with producing reviews that had deep insight into complex changes. It didn't feel like we were leaving…

    AI · Aug 2026 · heynoah.io

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
