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…

Logcat.ai:AI-powered observability for Operating Systems(Android+Linux) launched on June 24, 2025 with 9 votes, #3,023 of 7,999 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

What it does

logcat.ai is the AI engineering layer for the OS stack: built for the four billion devices where horizontal AI tools structurally can

Diagnose root cause across any signal your stack emits, remediate with cited patches, validate against OS-level test suites, and build features end to end, autonomously, across kernel, framework, modem, and bus. Diagnose ships today. Below the application layer, system and OS engineering is still done manually. A CAN race propagating through VHAL into Android Automotive. A modem PLMN drop only on a specific firmware × carrier combination. A Yocto recipe regression after a meta-layer bump that surfaces three boots in. The fix lives in the relationships between signals. Single-layer tools and grep can't see it. Real device bugs cross kernel, HAL, framework, and modem in a single failure.…from logcat.ai

    Hi HN! We’re the team behind Fiddler, and we recently built an Agent Cache feature. It works by capturing an LLM request/response pair and, once caching is enabled, serving subsequent matching calls locally so duplicate requests never hit the provider. It’s meant to reduce three pains that show up together in agent development: token cost, feedback-loop latency, and output non-determinism. We’d love to hear your thoughts.

    Hey HN, This is my take on the agent harness. Everything on an isometric map. Agents are grouped into "buildings" that run in a sequence or a loop; e.g., the CodeForge has an agent that writes a PRD, another one that implements, and a third that reviews. Everything is customizable, you build your own buildings/teams however you want. It's a Tauri app, really light (about 8x less energy than the closest competitor I benchmarked, so it actually runs from a coffee shop on battery). It's macOS only for now, but ping me if you are willing to test the Windows or Linux version. I've been…

    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…

    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…
