What it does

Platos is the open source runtime for shipping AI agents to production. Customer chatbots, internal copilots, AI employees, research agents, anything that needs memory and tools. One docker compose up gives you the full stack - persistent memory across sessions, durable background ops, full MCP gateway, cost dashboards, trace timelines, audit logs, drop-in React widget. Wrap any function with one decorator and it becomes a typed MCP tool. BYOK any LLM.

Open source agent runtime for production. Self-host in five minutes. BYOK across providers. Full MCP gateway. Built on trigger.dev.

Everything you need to deploy, monitor, and manage agents in production. Go live in minutes, not months. Define agents with system prompts, tools, memory, and version pins. Run them via REST, WebSocket, or MCP. Canary new versions before promoting them. Conversation history, semantic recall, knowledge graph, user profiles. Scoped per organization, project, environment, and user. Encrypted at rest. Federate any backend through the MCP gateway. 200 tools shipped. BYOK provider routing. Per-tool ACL. Approval workflows for sensitive operations. Eight capabilities you would otherwise spend a quarter rebuilding. Federate four tool families through one endpoint: entity tools, trigger meta-tools,…from platos.dev

    Hey folks, I've been building Clark solo, with the aim to match Manus agent (I really like it!) in features and capabilities, but also in its relentless ability to just complete tasks while using browser, computer etc. So far I think I've achieved 1:1 core feature parity: 1) computer use agent 2) browser use in same thread 3) wide and deep research - clark calls clark 4) integration with google tools Would love to have community feedback and for you to try it out, a couple thousand people already using it daily for very broad use cases. You can use this referral link, that hopefully works…

    Hey all, I'm Stasia, founder of Deck. Deck is an AI teammate for busy operators, professionals, and teams that is constantly working in the background. You can email it, use it in the app, sign it up for services you use, email alerts/newsletters, or set it up to run recurring work. It can read project files, summarize messy context, generate or edit decks/memos/sheets, answer questions over your knowledge base, and proactively surface things that need attention. Importantly, it doesn't require blanket inbox authorization to be effective and only emails you. We made email a…

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
