Merlin – Contextual Intelligence Agent for GTM
Hi HN! We are building [Merlin](https://www.usemerlin.io/), a GTM intelligence platform that gathers contextual insights about prospects and key stakeholders, so sellers don’t have to spend hours on tedious research tasks across hundreds of companies. Our thesis is that content generation and workflow/sequence automation providers are generating a lot of noise in social media (and inboxes) today and they are making the problem of outbound sales worse. We believe that every customer interaction (emails, cold calls or discovery calls) should be powered by intelligence. With…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi HN! We are building [Merlin](https://www.usemerlin.io/), a GTM intelligence platform that gathers contextual insights about prospects and key stakeholders, so sellers don’t have to spend hours on tedious research tasks across hundreds of companies. Our thesis is that content generation and workflow/sequence automation providers are generating a lot of noise in social media (and inboxes) today and they are making the problem of outbound sales worse. We believe that every customer interaction (emails, cold calls or discovery calls) should be powered by intelligence. With the relevant insights, the user can make an informed decision whether to contact the prospect, understand what the prospect is interested in and what are their pain points that the user can solve. We’ve built two main features: Lite Intel - allows you to ask any number of questions across 100s companies. Please feel free to try out this feature for free - https://wtpcrvzq.nocodb.com/#/nc/form/4fcca16f-4e43-4287-b8d... Deep Intel - provides contextual insights about prospects and key buyers, by automatically understanding the user’s solution and service. This includes identifying new qualified leads based on contextual intelligence, instead of filtering based on # of employees, sectors and technology used. There are several use cases you can apply with our contextual insights: 1. Qualify leads 2. Identify new highly qualified accounts 3. Draft hyper targeted emails 4. Prepare for discovery and follow-up calls 5. We’d love to hear suggestions of other use cases. Could be non-GTM related too We believe the future is in Insights-Led Growth. We’re still pretty early in the development and want to keep on improving on our contextual insights. Any feedback is much appreciated! Thank you in advance!

- NONous – Open-Source Agent Framework with Autonomous, SWE Agents, WebUI2024 · github.com · ▲155
Hello HN! The day has finally come to stop adding features and start sharing what I've been building the last 5-6 months. It's a bit of CrewAI, OpenDevon, LangFuse/Cloud all in one, providing devs who prefer TypeScript an integrated framework thats provides a lot out of the box to start experimenting and building agents with. It started after peeking at the LangChain docs a few times and never liking the example code. I began experimenting with automating a simple Jira request from the engineering team to add an index to one of our Google Spanner databases (for context I'm the…

- WMWe made an open-source AI agent to help you during your on-call shifts2024 · merlinn.co · ▲5
Hey guys, We’re excited to introduce to you what we’ve been working on for the past few months. We are two co-founders and we’ve both experienced on-call shifts where we felt unprepared, the relevant people weren’t around to help or we were left in the middle of the night trying to figure out what went wrong. Merlinn is an open-source AI on-call developer that lives in Slack. It can help you alleviate some of the pains mentioned above by connecting to your favorite tools and pair with you to triage the incident. We also have a pro version that we host on our cloud. Our goal is to help…

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…

Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
