Controller AI

Build deterministic agents that actually follow your process

What it does

Define important business processes in a workflow, and attach it to your agent as tools. When your agent decides to take action, it runs your workflow - same steps, same output, every time.

Build AI agents with ready integration actions, no-code workflows, approvals, and clear visibility.

Give agents ready actions from the apps you use, or build no-code workflows for the processes that need more control. No matter how hard you prompt, the agent still does its own thing and ignores the rules. Decisions, tool calls, approvals, failures, and costs are scattered across chats, logs, and internal tools. The agent doesn't know what it can do on its own and what needs a human. Critical business logic gets buried in long instructions instead of living in repeatable, testable processes. Instead of giving AI full autonomy, Controller AI lets you define clear processes. Your agents execute tasks intelligently while staying within the boundaries and rules you set. Give an agent one…from getcontroller.ai

  • 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…

    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…
