Netlify for Agents
I launched Netlify with a Show HN more than 11 years today, for humans. Today we're launching our Agent first version of Netlify. Super early days for this, but I expect it to become as important as our original launch over time. It's as hard to perfect these flows as it was to perfect some of the initial human DX flows, since the agents are non-deterministic and keeps changing and evolving, and we'll have more to show soon on our eval tooling for this. Try it out with an agent, and we would love feedback on what works and what doesn't as we keep iterating on making Netlify better for our…

In plain words
Netlify for Agents is an early-stage version of the Netlify platform designed to work with AI agents rather than just humans. The tool enables agents to interact with Netlify's deployment and hosting capabilities, though the company acknowledges this is experimental territory where agent behavior remains unpredictable and constantly evolving. Netlify plans to develop evaluation tooling to help refine agent workflows and is actively seeking user feedback as it iterates on the product.

Agentplace2024 · agentplace.io · ▲1,015Garry Tan posted a video this week about what he calls 20x companies. The idea is that small teams beat incumbents many times their size by automating everything internally, not just one or two functions. This alpha is real, and I think it is underhyped tbh. But here's the honest part, building agents is hard, expensive and most of the scaffolding we make would be obsolete with a new labs release. at the same time models are not quite there and they are not keeping up with "coding is dead" and "knowledge workers are doomed". Pushing them beyond what they can actually do reliably just boils…
Agent ArenaJun 2026 · arena42.ai · ▲348Creator here. I built Agent Arena to answer a question that kept bugging me: when AI agents browse the web autonomously, how easily can they be manipulated by hidden instructions? How it works: 1. Send your AI agent to ref.jock.pl/modern-web (looks like a harmless web dev cheat sheet) 2. Ask it to summarize the page 3. Paste its response into the scorecard at wiz.jock.pl/experiments/agent-arena/ The page is loaded with 10 hidden prompt injection attacks -- HTML comments, white-on-white text, zero-width Unicode, data attributes, etc. Most agents fall for at least a few.…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
