In plain words
Flux is a platform for building conversational AI agents that operate within messaging apps like iMessage and WhatsApp. Rather than requiring a separate application, agents integrate directly into existing messaging interfaces where users already communicate. The platform is designed for developers and creators who want to build personalized assistants that function as tutors, helpers, or companions. By placing AI agents in familiar messaging environments, Flux aims to make interactions feel more natural and personal than traditional software applications.

From the sources
AI doesn’t have an intelligence problem - it has an interface problem. Flux is the first platform for building personalized conversational agents that live inside messaging platforms like iMessage and WhatsApp. By meeting users where they already communicate, Flux enables agents to feel less like software and more like people - trusted friends, tutors, or assistants. The future of AI isn’t another app. It’s agents that interact with humans on an emotional level.
An open-source framework that connects your agents to iMessage, Telegram, WhatsApp, X, Discord, Instagram, and other interfaces people use every day.

I built a tool to create AI agents that live in iMessageJan 2026 · tryflux.ai · ▲54Hey everyone, I made this thing: https://tryflux.ai/. Here's a demo video: https://screen.studio/share/1y2EnC26 Context: I've tried probably 15 different AI apps over the past year. ChatGPT, note-taking apps, productivity apps, all of it. But most of them are just clutter on my iphone. They live in some app I have to deliberately open. And I just... don't. But you know what I open 50 times a day without thinking? iMessage. So out of mild frustration with the "AI app graveyard" on my phone, I built Flux. What it does: - You describe a personality and what…
Integral 2024 · integralhq.com · ▲760i've been a power user of slack/discord and etc. since i was a kid and i dont like the fact that they get unusable/noisy after 20 members join. so i designed integral to get rid of the 2 biggest causes of noise on slack/discord and similar apps: 1. channels 2. recency based feed i've replaced these 2 with a few subtle features (different approaches for business vs communities). check it out and let me know what you think :)
FluxerJan 2026 · fluxer.app · ▲154Hey HN, and happy new year! I'm Hampus Kraft [1], a 22-year-old software developer nearing completion of my BSc in Computer Engineering at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. I've been working on Fluxer on and off for about 5 years, but recently decided to work on it full-time and see how far it could take me. Fluxer is an open source [2] communication platform for friends, groups, and communities (text, voice, and video). It aims for "modern chat app" feature coverage with a familiar UX, while being developed in the open and staying FOSS (AGPLv3). The codebase is largely written in…

Talanoa▲340Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
