What it does
Most Backend were designed for humans clicking buttons not autonomous agents making thousands of calls.Hopeless adapts legacy and modern Backend for AI use by grouping multi-step agent requests, controlling fan-out, and protecting backends from bursty traffic without rewriting your backend.
Continuously improve agents by turning real-world failures into direct improvements. Automated testing and production monitoring for AI agents from pre-launch testing to real-time production monitoring.
Test, Monitor, and Continuously improve your agents by turning real-world failures into direct improvements. Test your AI agents before launch, monitor them in production, and continuously improve their behavior with real-world data. Real-time production monitoring and tracing for your AI agents. Track every request, trace every response, and get instant visibility into agent behavior and performance. Test agent behavior before deployment. Compare multiple prompts side-by-side, run A/B experiments, and continuously improve your agent's output quality. Run automated simulations across different scenarios and edge cases. Stress-test your agents in various conditions to ensure they're…from hopelessapi.com

Agentplace2024 · agentplace.io · ▲1,015Garry Tan posted a video this week about what he calls 20x companies. The idea is that small teams beat incumbents many times their size by automating everything internally, not just one or two functions. This alpha is real, and I think it is underhyped tbh. But here's the honest part, building agents is hard, expensive and most of the scaffolding we make would be obsolete with a new labs release. at the same time models are not quite there and they are not keeping up with "coding is dead" and "knowledge workers are doomed". Pushing them beyond what they can actually do reliably just boils…




Voicebun2025 · voicebun.com · ▲189Hey HN, I built Voicebun as a pet project because I was frustrated with how locked-down and rigid voice agents still are—many tools are either closed platforms, lack deep customization, or charge a lot just to test ideas. I wanted a way to quickly spin up AI voice agents that I could fully control—from the voice itself to the logic behind every word. Voicebun is an open-source voice agent builder. You can: - Clone voices and generate audio using your own scripts and prompts - Dynamically change prompts based on user input - Add custom logic through functions and webhooks (e.g. hit an API,…

Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
