What it does

Haku gives your AI agents seamless control of your Mac — native apps, Chrome, Safari — through one MCP server. An on-device model filters each page and app down to the few elements your agent actually needs(In milliseconds). As a result, a chrome action drops from the usual 50K tokens to under 7K. Works with Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Cursor, or any MCP client. Fully local. It also ships with agent-driven demo recordings that lets your agent create beautiful demos and onboarding videos

Haku tunes small local models and builds the software around them — dictation, a terminal for AI agents, browsing your agent can drive, and code search. A 60M model formats your dictation in under 100ms. Pay once, own forever.

A 60M model formats your dictation in under 100ms. A 14M model understands “next Tuesday at 6.” We tune them, then build the software around them. One purchase, lifetime updates. No subscriptions, no accounts. If a small model on your Mac beats the cloud, that's what we ship. The places agents work well — and the layer that makes them faster. For years, AI has meant renting a giant model behind an API. We think most everyday intelligence belongs on the machine in front of you — faster, and private. And where a big cloud model is the right tool — your agent — our apps work with the one you already have. We start from the best small local models, train them further for one job each, and…from haku.sh

    Hey HN! I built Browser AI after getting frustrated with the official Playwright MCP server in Claude Code. If you've used it, you know the pain: - 20+ separate tools that Claude has to juggle (click, fill, navigate, wait_for_selector, etc.) - Context window explosions from verbose screenshot data and DOM snapshots - Constant tool selection errors where Claude picks the wrong tool or forgets parameters Browser AI wraps Playwright MCP with a single natural language interface. Instead of Claude managing dozens of tools, you get one: browser_ai.execute. Just tell it what you want in plain…

    I've been building computer-use tools for a while, and I quietly launched this about a month ago (122 Stars on GH). I figured it was worth sharing here. Over the last few months, a lot of computer-use agents have come out: Codex, Claude Code, CUA, and others. Most of them seem to work roughly like this: 1. Take a screenshot 2. Have the model predict pixel coordinates 3. Click x,y 4. Take another screenshot 5. Repeat That works, but it's slow, expensive in tokens, and fragile. If the UI shifts a few pixels, things break. And the model still doesn't know what any element actually is. But the…

  • 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. I will review and approve it.
