I Made an AI Software Engineer with Google Gemini 1.5 Flash

Hey HN! Thank you for all the support and feedback on my original submission 2 months ago. I've been improving the backend using a MCTS/AlphaZero approach and it's currently producing much better results. My long term goal is to allow users to manage multiple projects, deployed autonomously, both from scratch and by making continual updates all prompted with natural language. The cost of each project has been lowered to $9 as performance with smaller models has improved (I migrated from Claude-3-Opus to gemini-1.5-flash). Thanks for checking it out!

    I built a small project that integrates Gemini Flash Image but makes it more affordable to use compared to the official API. It allows you to generate high-quality images with the same model, and also provides simple editing features for refining results. The goal is to make experimenting with Google’s image model cheaper and more accessible for people who create a lot of images.

    Hey everyone! I've developed Gemini Engineer, an AI-powered CLI tool for software developers, using the Gemini API! This tool aims to assist with project creation, file management, and coding tasks through AI. It's still in development, and I'd love to get feedback from fellow developers like you. Check out the project on GitHub: https://github.com/ozanunal0/gemini-engineer Please give it a try and share your thoughts, suggestions, or any bugs you find. Thanks a bunch!

    Hey HN, I just updated my project that compares some LLMs. It uses your prompt for all the models and runs at the same time. You can see the results being generated in real-time and decide what's the best for your use case. I'm open to any suggestions and feedback. Thanks!

    AI agents run my one-person company on Gemini's free tier – $0/monthMar 2026 · ▲16

    I'm a solo dev in Taiwan. I built 4 AI agents that handle content, sales leads, security scanning, and ops for my tech agency — all on Gemini 2.5 Flash free tier (1,500 req&#x2F;day). I use ~105. Monthly LLM cost: $0. Architecture: 4 agents on OpenClaw (open source), running on WSL2 at home with 25 systemd timers. What they do every day: - Generate 8 social posts across platforms (quality-gated: generate → self-review → rewrite if score < 7&#x2F;10) - Engage with community posts and auto-reply to comments (context-aware, max 2 rounds) - Research via RSS + HN API + Jina Reader → feed…

  • We built an AI Website builder with better output2024 · dorik.com · ▲8

    Hey HN, After GPT-3 created waves in the tech industry, a lot of AI tools were emerging and with that, some AI website builders But the results seemed way too generic to us. It felt like the developers were rushing to catch the wave instead of building a proper tool We took our time, did months of RnD and finally came up with something better than what others in the market are doing. It’s got better design output. While it’s still in beta, I wanted to show HN what we did. Will appreciate the feedback when you guys try it out. Here is the link to signup for the beta:…
