What it does

Building an agent takes minutes. Keeping one alive takes an engineer. We built the second part. Describe what you want and Kavela builds, hosts, and runs it always-on in Telegram and Slack. Nothing is preset: if an agent is missing something, you tell it to change and it changes. No feature requests. Your keys stay in inline cards and never touch the agent. Agents share one org file system. 50 orgs have built 400 agents. They've run over 20,000 times with nobody watching.

Describe an agent you want in plain English, and watch it build. Kavela builds cloud agents with strong harnesses: real tools, data, and guardrails.

Start for free. Encode your judgment. Kavela turns it into an agent that works across your tools, every day, on its own. A model simply predicts text. Solving real problems requires productionized specifications, distilled into a wide range of agentic infrastructure. Building a productionizable agent requires all-encompassing harnesses . It is why AI agent demos seem to work, but almost none survive contact with real work. Encode your expertise into skills and system prompts into Agents. Run evaluation cycles to ensure your agent works in production. Build agents that solve your personal pains and workflows. Connect any API, any OAuth provider (Over 1000+). Empower your agents with the…from kavela.ai

    Hi HN, Fernando and I built Kastra. Kastra intercepts AI agent tool calls and evaluates them against deterministic policies before they execute. We built this product to control pre- and post-inference workloads. This is aimed at developers using coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenClaw. Kastra pushes an allow, hold, and deny decision before the action runs. You can build these policies in plain English from the web app. The interception engine evaluates the tools, targets, and parameters of every action at sub 1ms at a scale of billions of interceptions per day. We also…

    Hey HN, We're Cosmic (YC W19), a headless CMS. Today we're launching Team Agents and the Cosmic Agent. Team Agents are AI-powered team members that live in Slack, WhatsApp, and Telegram. They have names, roles, persistent memory, and real capabilities. Not chatbots. Not one-off prompts. Persistent agents that work alongside your team. Here's what they can do: CONTENT AGENTS write blog posts, landing pages, and marketing copy. They generate images, add SEO metadata, and publish directly to the CMS. Message them in Slack, get a finished post back. CODE AGENTS read your codebase, create…

    A proactive AI executive assistant for founders

    AI · Aug 2026 · heynoah.io

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
