CREAO

Hi HN! I'm North, DevRel from the CREAO team. We are a 15-20 person startup, and we spent a couple of months building this vibe coding product. We've been exploring the possibilities of how agents should assist people's work for productivity in various scenarios. Three months ago, we noticed that all small teams and companies are struggling with subscribing to multiple SaaS tools that never fit their exact needs. Pretty much all founders and SMB professionals need customized productivity tools that fit their daily work routines, but they don't have developers to build these lightweight tools…

CREAO launched on September 9, 2025 with 738 votes, #12 of 8,160 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

From the sources

Teams get stuck with one-size-fits-all SaaS that doesn’t fit anyone perfectly. CREAO lets anyone build custom AI apps with natural language, each one with a built-in copilot. Build the right tools for any job.

CREAO builds AI agents that run your work. They plug into your existing tools, learn how you operate, and compound your knowledge around the clock.

CREAO builds your agents, runs your work, and compounds your knowledge around the clock. Tell CREAO what you need. It builds an agent that does it - and keeps doing it, on the schedule and in the tools you already use. Reads incoming quote requests, looks up pricing and inventory, drafts the quote, sends the reply. Every morning: fresh hooks, keywords, descriptions, and images for paid social. Ready to ship by 9am. Pulls stock levels, flags SKUs at risk, surfaces reorder math every 4 hours. Drafts a content brief for any target keyword: intent, outline, links, internal references. Your agent reaches into the tools you already use. No integration project required. Connect once with OAuth or…from creao.ai

    Hi HN, We just launched Blocks - an AI platform where anyone can build custom work apps and AI agents in minutes, no coding required. We’re seeing a shift in how software is built and used. With AI, software isn’t just about tracking processes anymore - it can actively help people get work done. The problem is that most teams still face 2 options: either buy off-the-shelf tools that never quite fit, or invest a lot of time and money into custom development. Neither works well. Blocks is the third option. It’s an AI-native platform where teams can create apps and AI agents for their workflows…

  • 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…
