Raccoon AI
Hey HN, I'm Shubh, Co-Founder of Raccoon AI. Raccoon AI is like having something between Claude Code and Cursor in the web. The agent has its own computer with a terminal, browser, and internet, and it is built with the right balance of collaboration and autonomy. You can talk to it mid-task, send it more files while it's still running, or just let it go and come back to a finished result. It's the kind of product where you open it to try one thing and end up spending two hours because you keep thinking of more things to throw at it. The thing that most people get excited about is that…

In plain words
Raccoon AI is a collaborative workspace where users work alongside an AI agent equipped with its own computer, terminal, browser, and internet access. Users describe their needs and guide the AI through each step, maintaining visibility into its reasoning, file creation, and decisions. The platform handles diverse tasks including web app deployment, research, data analysis, and content creation such as pitch decks, videos, and documents. It is designed for anyone who needs to complete complex projects with real-time AI collaboration and steering.

From the sources
Raccoon AI is a collaborative AI agent and workspace for getting real work done. You describe what you need and build it together with an AI agent that has its own computer, terminal, browser, and internet. You see every thought, every file it creates, every decision it makes. You steer when it drifts. You ship when it's right. Deploy web apps. Run deep research. Analyze data. Create pitch decks, videos, images, documents.
The collaborative AI agent that creates presentations, analyzes data, writes code, and tackle on end-to-end workflows.
Whatever you can describe, an agent builds with you — apps, docs, design, and anything in between. In real time. Watch one prompt move through Raccoon — set up, planned, built in the open, steered by you, then shipped. The whole way, in one place. Type it, say it out loud, sketch it on a pad, or drop in files and screenshots. Plain language is the whole interface — no prompt-craft, nothing to configure before you start. Switch on Gmail, Drive, Calendar, GitHub and 50+ connectors, and turn on skills you've taught it. Raccoon works inside your real accounts, applies your workflows, and remembers you from one session to the next. Raccoon spins up its own cloud computer and lays the work out as…from raccoonai.tech

ClarkJul 2026 · clarkchat.com · ▲264Hey 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…
SimplAI2025 · simplai.ai · ▲589Hey HN, I've been building SimplAI for the past several months — it's a platform for building, testing, and deploying LLM-powered agents and multi-step workflows. The problem I kept running into: spinning up an AI agent pipeline means stitching together prompt management, tool calling, memory, evals, and deployment — often from scratch every time. SimplAI tries to be the layer that handles all of that so you can focus on what your agent actually does. What it does: - Visual + code-first workflow builder for chaining LLM calls, tools, and APIs - Built-in prompt versioning and A/B testing…

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.…
