Hooked
Hey HN, I'm Clément. I kept discovering useful AI tools and marketing tactics too late, always buried under noise. So I built a pipeline of AI agents monitoring 28+ sources, research labs, funding announcements, startup blogs, newsletters, surfacing signals before mainstream media picks them up. The output is Hooked: a weekly 3-minute email with the best new AI tools, marketing tactics working right now, and launches worth knowing early. 4 issues in - would love brutal feedback. What's your current system for staying on top of AI?
Hooked launched on May 5, 2026 with 4 votes, #2,419 of 20,538 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.

aifeedMay 2026 · aifeed.dev · ▲10Hi HN! I built aifeed as a simple, real-time feed for AI-related links. It's meant for following new tools, articles and projects as they appear. You can also save interesting links to your favorites so they don't get lost. Submissions are community-driven, with light moderation and a small fee to reduce spam. Happy to hear any feedback.
StayUpAI2025 · stayup.ai · ▲11Hi HN! I just launched StayUpAI, an all-in-one platform to stay ahead in the AI world.

Core features: - Unified AI news feed (with source/language/theme filters) - Daily & weekly AI summary emails - Summaries for each news item (papers, YouTube, articles) - Multilingual news (with translation) - Free to start, no personal info needed for a quick test I built this because tracking AI news is overwhelming, and I wanted a tool that does the curation…
- LSLatent Signal - Curated feed for AI newsJan 2026 · latentsignal.fyi · ▲5
I kept losing track of what was happening in AI. It's scattered across Reddit, Discord, Twitter, arXiv, GitHub, Hugging Face. Things slip through constantly. So I built Latent Signal to consolidate it for myself. It's a curated feed for AI news. Right now it's just me, but the goal is for the community to help surface what matters. Covers LLMs, image gen, video, audio, 3D, world models, tooling, and more. The design is entirely inspired by Hacker News. Currently pulling from these sources: - Reddit - arXiv - Hugging Face - GitHub - Hacker News - Lobste.rs You can browse immediately without…

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
