Mirror AI – LLM agent that takes action, not just chat

Hi HN, TL;DR Mirror AI is a cross-platform desktop action oriented LLM. Instead of just replying with text, it can run terminal commands, move files, hit APIs, send email/messages, schedule calendar events, query databases etc. - and chain those steps in one request. Why I built it Chatbots are great for answers but stop at the “OK, now go do it” moment. I was copy-pasting between ChatGPT and my shell/IDE/Gmail far too often, so on red-eye flights I hacked a bridge that lets an LLM execute tasks under a permission layer. Friends asked for it, feature-creep happened, and here…

Mirror AI – LLM agent that takes action, not just chat launched on April 27, 2025 with 5 votes and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

What it does

Bridge distances with a hug! This holiday season, embrace loved ones or even Santa with just two photos. Only one photo? We'll make you dance! Perfect for laughs with friends. More exciting features coming soon—tell us what you’d like to see!

Mirror AI doesn't just chat — it integrates with your digital world to perform complex tasks intelligently. Built by a builder for other builders, and completely free to use. Current AI chatbots are great for information, but fall short when you need action. They lack context, proactive behavior, and the ability to perform tasks on your behalf. There's no single solution that can read a Notion page and apply changes to S3, handle WhatsApp messages and send follow-up emails, or search for an API spec and test it — all in one flow. That's why Mirror AI exists. Originally built as a personal tool to overcome these limitations, it became something friends kept asking to use. Now it's available…from themirrorai.com

    Many teams connecting LLMs to external tools eventually encounter the same architectural issue: as more tools and agents are added, the integration pattern becomes an N×M mesh of direct connections. Each agent implements its own auth, retries, rate limiting, and logging; each tool needs credentials distributed to multiple places and observability becomes fragmented. We built LLM gateway with this goal to provide a single place to manage authentication, authorization, routing, and observability for MCP servers, with a path toward a more general agent-gateway architecture in the future.

    I made this experimental art project/game that's an LLM chat assistant, but where you're the AI. I wanted people to get a visceral sense of what it's like to answer the kinds of things that people prompt their chatbots day in and day out. If you're interested, I wrote up some more info on how I made it, including how the "user" prompts are generated with an eye for realism: https://bethechatbot.com/about Hope you enjoy it! I'd love to hear people's takeaways.

  • Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
