Open-source conversational AI agents for internal tools
Hey HN, We're John and Nadeesha. We created Inferable. [1] After years of working in operationally-intensive startups, we got tired of watching our internal tools gather dust and break. We've all been there - you build a tool, it works great for a while, then the API changes and suddenly you're back to square one. Sure, Retool and similar tools help, but someone still has to maintain them, and the backlog of "quick fixes" and the mountain of glue code keeps keeps growing. We started Inferable to see whether LLMs can help here. Inferable helps developers create conversational AI agents that…
Open-source conversational AI agents for internal tools launched on January 20, 2025 with 11 votes, #1,388 of 6,142 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
In plain words
Inferable is an open-source platform that lets developers build conversational AI agents to manage internal tools and APIs. Instead of maintaining custom scripts or low-code platforms that require constant upkeep, teams can create AI agents that understand business needs and coordinate between existing systems. The agents integrate with Slack and email, reducing manual maintenance and API-related breakdowns common in operational tools.

- TITetris in a PDF▲1,289
I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris. It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation "fields" works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box. All in all it's quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The linked PDF is all ASCII so you can just open it in a text editor, or have a look at…

21st.dev▲1,211I originally built this app to organize and reuse interesting React + Tailwind components I came across on Twitter, inspired by the shadcn/ui approach. Later, a friend started contributing their own components, and it got me thinking—this could grow into something bigger, like an NPM for design engineers to share and use components. Would love to hear your thoughts!
