In plain words

Makini provides a single REST API for connecting to industrial maintenance and asset management systems. Software developers use it to integrate with their customers' industrial systems—whether modern cloud platforms or legacy on-premises equipment—without building custom adapters for each one. The API works with industrial AI agents and supports common development frameworks, maintaining existing access controls and logging all interactions.

From the sources

Makini is the REST API for industrial systems. Tech companies use it to connect with industrial systems of their customers, regardless of what system it is - all via one simple API. It’s like Plaid, but for industrials.

The Makini universal API for industrial maintenance and asset management systems lets you connect hundreds of CMMS and EAM integrations with a single API.

Single integration layer to connect to anything from modern industrial vertical agents and cloud products to an on-prem box in a plant. Reach the whole network through one integration The plant system installed in 2003. The on-prem box no vendor will ever modernize. Your agents reach those the same way they reach modern cloud software. Claude, ChatGPT, n8n, LangChain, or your own. One config block, no custom adapters. An agent does only what its credentials allow, and every call is logged. Your existing access model governs it Build to one Unified API. Read and write across every ERP, CMMS, and WMS. The call is the same and the data comes back the same, whatever runs underneath. We monitor…from makini.io

  • OneCLI – Vault for AI Agents in RustMar 2026 · github.com · ▲161

    We built OneCLI because AI agents are being given raw API keys. And it's going about as well as you'd expect. We figured the answer isn't "don't give agents access," it's "give them access without giving them secrets." OneCLI is an open-source gateway that sits between your AI agents and the services they call. You store your real credentials once in OneCLI's encrypted vault, and give your agents placeholder keys. When an agent makes an HTTP call through the proxy, OneCLI matches the request by host/path, verifies the agent should have access, swaps the placeholder for the real…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
