Sgai – Goal-driven multi-agent software dev (GOAL.md → working code)

Hey HN, We built Sgai to experiment with a different model of AI-assisted development. Instead of prompting step-by-step, you define an outcome in GOAL.md (what should be built, not how), and Sgai runs a coordinated set of AI agents to execute it. - It decomposes the goal into a DAG of roles (developer → reviewer → safety analyst, etc.) - It asks clarifying questions when needed - It writes code, runs tests, and iterates - Completion gates (e.g. make test) determine when it's actually done Everything runs locally in your repo. There’s a web dashboard showing real-time execution of the agent…

In plain words

Sgai is an AI-assisted development tool that automates software creation by taking a goal written in GOAL.md and executing it through coordinated AI agents. Instead of step-by-step prompting, users define the desired outcome and the system decomposes it into roles like developer, reviewer, and safety analyst that work together. It writes code, runs tests, iterates until completion gates are met, and displays progress through a web dashboard. Everything runs locally in the repository without auto-pushing changes.

    Hey HN, we are building Rankai (https://www.rankai.ai), an AI agent that pushes SEO blogs and code fixes automatically to your site. My teammate previously scaled a product to 4M users via organic traffic and SEO. And we understood the importance of driving SEO traffic for small businesses. But after we talked to a lot of small businesses and startups, we realized that majority are not doing SEO at all. For them, learning and doing SEO weekly is too time-consuming, and no way they'd hire an agency for $4k+. So we tried to automate each step of SEO process in an agentic way using…

    Hey 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…

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
