Druids – Build your own software factory

Hi HN! Druids (https://github.com/fulcrumresearch/druids) is an open-source library for structuring and running multi-agent coding workflows. Druids makes it easy to do this by abstracting away all the VM infrastructure, agent provisioning, and communication. You can watch our demo video here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVJqW-tvSy4) to see what it looks like. At a high level: - Users can write Python programs that define what roles the agents take on and how they interact with each other. - A program is made of events - clear state transitions that the…

In plain words

Druids is an open-source library for building multi-agent coding workflows. It allows developers to write Python programs that define agent roles and interactions while handling VM infrastructure, agent provisioning, and communication automatically. Programs are structured around events that represent state transitions, which become tools agents can call. The library provisions full virtual machines so agents can run continuously and coordinate effectively, eliminating the need to manage infrastructure manually.

ramure is an opinionated and lightweight Python library for building reliable agent software. It makes it easy to define programs where agents communicate across environments to accomplish a task. Making agent software (software that calls agents) is a complex distributed systems problem. The goal of ramure is to make it easier to build and robustify these systems, in 2 notable ways: Note: ramure is the successor to our earlier agent runtime druids. The old code is preserved at fulcrumresearch/druids-archive . ramure depends on pi and tmux for the machines on which agents run. import asyncio from ramure import agent , agent_process , done , fail , wait # registers the ramure runtime which…from github.com

    Hi there, Mike here from Budibase. We’ve recently launched AI Agents into Beta, alongside our existing open-source app-building and automation tools. We built Budibase Agents for teams that want to leverage AI within real-world workflows, using their own LLMs, data, and APIs. Because of this, our Agents can be powered by any LLM with an OpenAI-compatible API, including open-source and locally-hosted models. This means you can build Agents that connect to your existing toolstack, within your own environment. Some more details: - Agents' behavior is configured using natural language…

    For almost two years, we've been developing Charlie, a coding agent that is autonomous, cloud-based, and focused primarily on TypeScript development. During that time, the explosion in growth and development of LLMs and agents has surpassed even our initially very bullish prognosis. When we started Charlie, we were one of the only teams we knew fully relying on agents to build all of our code. We all know how that has gone — the world has caught up, but working with agents hasn't been all kittens and rainbows, especially for fast moving teams. The one thing we've noticed over the last 3…

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them.
