Chibi, AI that tells you why users churn
Hey HN, I’ve been a PM for 3 years, and one hard part was always understanding why users churn, drop off and behave the way they do! Session replays had the answer, but watching hours of them was painful. I chatted with a bunch of founder friends and PMs and they too had similar troubles. So I built Chibi an AI that watches replays and tells you what’s broken, confusing, or causing drop-off. Long Term: I'm thinking if Chibi could evolve into an AI product manager co-worker that can detect and prioritize issues, think through features and even run A/B tests. Tech Stack: Elixir + Phoenix,…
In plain words
Chibi is an AI tool that analyzes session replays to identify why users churn, drop off, or encounter problems. Instead of requiring product managers to manually review hours of recordings, it automatically watches replays and surfaces broken features, confusing interface elements, and friction points causing users to leave. Built for product teams struggling to understand user behavior, Chibi aims to evolve into a broader AI product management assistant capable of prioritizing issues and running experiments.

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…

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
