Ink – Deploy full-stack apps from AI agents via MCP or Skills
Hi HN, I built Ink, a full stack deployment platform where the primary users are AI agents, not humans. We all know AI can write code, but deploying them still requires a human to wire it up: hosting, databases, DNS, and secrets. Ink gives agents those tools directly. The agent calls "deploy" and the platform auto-detects the framework, builds it, deploys it, and returns a live URL at *.ml.ink. Here's a demo with Claude Code: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6ZM_RrIaC0. What Ink does that I haven't seen elsewhere: - One agent skill for compute + databases + DNS + secrets +…
In plain words
Ink is a full-stack deployment platform designed for AI agents to independently deploy applications without human intervention. When an agent calls the deploy function, Ink automatically detects the framework, builds the code, sets up hosting, databases, DNS, and secrets management, then returns a live URL. The platform consolidates compute, databases, DNS, secrets, domains, and monitoring into a single agent interface, eliminating the need to juggle multiple providers. It includes DNS zone delegation for instant subdomain creation and supports integration via MCP or Skills.

Hi HN, I built Ink, a full stack deployment platform where the primary users are AI agents, not humans. We all know AI can write code, but deploying them still requires a human to wire it up: hosting, databases, DNS, and secrets. Ink gives agents those tools directly. The agent calls "deploy" and the platform auto-detects the framework, builds it, deploys it, and returns a live URL at *.ml.ink. Here's a demo with Claude Code: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6ZM_RrIaC0. What Ink does that I haven't seen elsewhere: - One agent skill for compute + databases + DNS + secrets + domains + usage + metrics + logs + scaling. The agent doesn't juggle separate providers — one account, one auth, one set of tools. - DNS zone delegation. Delegate a zone once (e.g. dev.acme.com) and agents create any subdomain instantly — no manual adding DNS records each time, no propagation wait. - Multiple agents and humans share one workspace and collaborate on projects. I envision a future where many agents collaborate together. I'm working on a cool demo to share. - Built-in git hosting. Agents push code and deploy without the human setting up GitHub first. No external account needed. (Of course if you're a developer you can store code on GitHub — that's the recommended pattern.) You also have what you'd expect: - UI with service observability designed for humans (logs, metrics, DNS). - GitHub integration — push triggers auto-redeploy. - Per-minute billing for CPU, memory, and egress. No per-seat, no per-agent. - Error responses designed for LLMs. Structured reason codes with suggested next actions, not raw stack traces. When a deploy fails the agent reads the log, fixes it, and redeploys autonomously. Try: https://ml.ink Free $2 trial credits, no credit card.

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
