council - ai groupchat of ctos (no more asking ai to roleplay)
i made a council of advisors to help me code. as a self taught dev, ive been heavily reliant on ai for the past two years. found myself often prompting claude to take on different personalities, so i built a web app. it's great for the step before telling cursor what to do and reviewing prs once theyre ready. PLEASE DON"T NUKE MY APY KEY. ty

In plain words
Council is a web app that simulates a group chat of CTO advisors to help developers think through code problems. Rather than repeatedly prompting AI to adopt different personas, users can get multiple perspectives in one interface. It's designed for self-taught developers who want feedback before committing to implementation or reviewing pull requests. The app leverages Claude's capabilities to provide structured guidance at an intermediate stage between ideation and actual coding.

Aident AI Beta 2Mar 2026 · aident.ai · ▲398Hi HN — I’m Kimi, founder of Aident AI. A couple years ago, I cold-started a startup and tried to automate my outreach pipeline with a patchwork: RPA + Zapier + "just some ChatGPT". It worked… until it didn’t. Every time I tweaked the strategy, the automation snapped. The system wasn’t built for change — it was built for wiring. And that’s when it hit me: AI is finally smart enough to do real work, but we still don’t have a clean way to communicate the work to it: Drag-and-drop flows are too rigid; Scripts are too fragile; Prompts are too ephemeral. I kept thinking: why can’t automation be…
Second Brain2025 · second-brain-lac-ten.vercel.app · ▲281Hi HN, I'm Dom, a solo founder. I built Second Brain to solve a common issue I had with AI chats: the knowledge disappears. There’s no structure, no memory, and no way to reuse or build on them. So I built a tool that combines AI chat with a visual, interconnected knowledge system. Key features: - Save AI responses into editable docs (Notion-style Pages). - AI Visual board with multiple content & chat nodes (like Miro meets ChatGPT). - Add and chat with YouTubes, TikToks, Audio, PDFs, GitHub repos, Looms, websites, etc. - Organize using Projects and Smart Tags — then chat with full contexts.…
ViberiaMay 2026 · getviberia.com · ▲146Hey HN, This is my take on the agent harness. Everything on an isometric map. Agents are grouped into "buildings" that run in a sequence or a loop; e.g., the CodeForge has an agent that writes a PRD, another one that implements, and a third that reviews. Everything is customizable, you build your own buildings/teams however you want. It's a Tauri app, really light (about 8x less energy than the closest competitor I benchmarked, so it actually runs from a coffee shop on battery). It's macOS only for now, but ping me if you are willing to test the Windows or Linux version. I've been…

Co-OpJan 2026 · co-op.software · ▲30AI is in a weird place right now. Technical people marvel over it while non-technical people don't really care. So we built Co-Op, an app specifically designed for non-technical people to run AI agents without needing a Mac Mini or laptop running 24/7. Your agents run throughout the day and complete real work across your most important apps, no code required. For me, this looks like a daily notification with my unread emails across Outlook, Gmail, and any other inbox, the weather, commute time, flight prices I'm monitoring, and the news. But it goes way beyond that. Our agents can build…

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…
