Mantrana

Four AI specialists. One buildable specification.

What it does

Turn a rough idea into a production-ready spec. Four specialist AI reviewers — an architect, an adversarial red-teamer, a product strategist, and an operations lead — cross-examine each other and file one buildable specification with exact schemas, API contracts, threat matrices, and phased roadmaps. Your first three runs are free, no card needed.

Turn a rough idea into a production-ready spec with four specialist reviews and one ratified record.

Four specialist AI jurors stress-test your idea — architecture, failure modes, product, delivery — and file one production-ready specification you can build from immediately. Data contract boundaries resolved; idempotency keyed on webhook event ID. First-run success signal: user copies spec within 90s of landing. Ship order: contract tests before the dashboard UI. Gate: green CI. Each juror files a distinct review, so architecture, risk, user value, and implementation are resolved before the specification is ratified. System boundaries, data contracts, concurrency, and capacity. The benchmark compares autonomous build runs from the same rough prompt: one unaided, one guided by a Mantrana…from mantrana.co

  • 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…

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
