Logcat.ai:AI-powered observability for Operating Systems(Android+Linux)
Hello HN! I'm an Android OS engineer. I've worked with AOSP and Linux kernels all my career and always wondered about lack of sophisticated tools to debug and analyze system-level logs. Always had to resort to manually skimming through large log files to find something I needed to. With the rise of LLMs and the AI-age, I felt it was a great opportunity to build something for OS engineers, which is what led to logcat.ai! We are building the industry-first observability platform for system level intelligence. Think "Datadog for operating systems" instead of applications. Currently, we support…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hello HN! I'm an Android OS engineer. I've worked with AOSP and Linux kernels all my career and always wondered about lack of sophisticated tools to debug and analyze system-level logs. Always had to resort to manually skimming through large log files to find something I needed to. With the rise of LLMs and the AI-age, I felt it was a great opportunity to build something for OS engineers, which is what led to logcat.ai! We are building the industry-first observability platform for system level intelligence. Think "Datadog for operating systems" instead of applications. Currently, we support Android and Linux - more platforms on the way. With Android we offer: 1. logcat analysis: Ability to analyze logcat logs for root cause analysis of system issues with natural language search. Unlike, Firebase which is an app-level observability, logcat.ai provides intelligence at OS level spanning bootloader, kernel and framework layer. 2. bugreport analysis: As you know a bugreport is a super-verbose snapshot of an Android OS collected at a point of time. Analyzing these logs takes hours and sometimes even days. We are working to bring this down to minutes! Analysis of memory, cpu, process stats to infer memory pressure levels, system stress, and nail down the processes responsible for it, identify performance bottlenecks and memory leaks across the system. For Linux we offer: dmesg (kernel log) analysis to help identify issues at Linux kernel level. We plan to add support for different Linux distros with their own logging pretty soon. Our goal is to build a single-pane-of-glass observability experience for operating systems worldwide, something that's never been done before. Our website may not reflect all the features a.t.m but we have a lot of things cooking! Ask us anything. We are providing free beta access for a period of time. We'd love your feedback and comments on what you think about logcat.ai!

Intellize.ai is a cutting-edge AI-driven observability platform designed to simplify developers' tasks. With our platform, developers can seamlessly search logs, craft dashboards, and configure alerts using natural language. We envision a future where developer tools offer an intuitive and streamlined experience, ensuring users receive precisely what they request. For example, traditional methods of sifting through logs can be cumbersome due to redundant and extraneous data. One way to address this is to ask Intellize.ai to group similar logs, enhancing clarity and efficiency. Our platform…

Hello HN! My name is Max, and I’m a co-founder at Lynx (https://uselynx.ai). We’re building an AI-powered incident resolution platform to help engineers debug and resolve on-call issues faster. If you’ve ever been paged in the middle of the night and had to spend hours piecing together logs, metrics, and code, we’d love your feedback. * The Problem * On-call hasn’t kept pace with modern engineering. Even with great observability tools, diagnosing incidents is slow because: - Systems are increasingly complex. - Logs, dashboards, and documentation are scattered. - Context often…

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…

Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
