Field Theory

Capture twice the context in half the steps

Field Theory launched on February 6, 2026 with 67 votes, #541 of 16,627 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches.

What it does

Context stacking for voice transcription, screenshots, and portable commands — made for builders and engineers and ready for Cursor, Claude Code, or any input field. The current meta for talking to models is "tell it more." So we copy and paste a lot. Screenshots, logs, docs, voice transcripts. It's tedious. Field Theory makes context management fast. Hotkeys for everything. Local transcription. Voice commands. Image and text stacking. And portable commands you can invoke anywhere.

Local voice transcription, screenshots, and portable commands—ready for Cursor, Claude, or any input field.

Local transcription, stackable screenshots, portable commands, and priority mic. Point Field Theory at any folder of markdown commands. They become available in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or anywhere else you type. Mac likes to switch your microphone when Bluetooth headphones connect. Field Theory doesn't. Set your preferred input once. It stays selected until you change it. While transcribing you can say "use the commit command" and Field Theory will insert it. This works with any command in your directory and without internet. Just invoke what you need mid-sentence. See the dedicated Hot Mic page and full default command list. Capture a screenshot. Circle the problem. Arrow to where it…from fieldtheory.dev

  • Conversational Replicas by Tavus2024 · tavus.io · ▲694

    Hey there, I’m Brian. I've been shipping conversational models over here at Tavus for the past two years. I want to tell you about our new audio-understanding model: Sparrow-2! It’s a new category of model and a unique new approach to conversational audio. Earlier this year we launched Sparrow-1, (at the time) our SoTA turn taking model. Since our Sparrow-1 launch, I’ve spent a lot of time listening to humans talking and trying to really understand how people know when to talk, when to listen, and when to wait. I’ve also been hunting down failure modes of the current SoTA models. And while…

    Hey HN, this is Igor, one of the engineers behind Inworld Runtime, which we're releasing today in public preview. We built it to solve the common problem we and our customers had: engineers spend more time on AI ops and plumbing than on actual feature development. This was often due to the challenge of using Python for I/O-bound, high-concurrency workloads and complexity maintaining pipelines with streams that use always-changing ML models. Our solution is a high-performance runtime written in C++ with the core idea of defining AI logic as graphs. For instance, a basic voice-to-voice…

  • Context GatewayMar 2026 · github.com · ▲220

    We built an open-source proxy that sits between coding agents (Claude Code, OpenClaw, etc.) and the LLM, compressing tool outputs before they enter the context window. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vFZ6MPrwjw#t=9s. Motivation: Agents are terrible at managing context. A single file read or grep can dump thousands of tokens into the window, most of it noise. This isn't just expensive — it actively degrades quality. Long-context benchmarks consistently show steep accuracy drops as context grows (OpenAI's GPT-5.4 eval goes from 97.2% at 32k to 36.6% at 1M…

    I built a more productive way to manage AI chats2025 · contextch.at · ▲162

    I released ContextChat, an AI chat designed to be context-centric, helping you stay focused and productive by giving you control over the information your AI sees. You can import websites, files, and public/private GitHub repos to give the AI full knowledge of your projects. Unlike other chatbots, ContextChat lets you easily switch between project contexts, so you get relevant answers and avoid the noise. It's pay-per-use, giving you flexibility and control over costs and free models are available so you can try it for free with no monthly subscriptions. Let me know your feedback!

  • A working reference implementation of context engineeringApr 2026 · github.com · ▲46

    I've been presenting at local meetups about Context Engineering, RAG, Skills, etc.. I even have a vbrownbag coming up on LinkedIn about this topic so I figured I would make a basic example that uses bedrock so I can use it in my talks or vbrownbags. Hopefully it's useful.

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
