In plain words

Switch is an open-source platform that integrates AI agents directly into team collaboration tools like Slack, Teams, Discord, and Telegram. Agents participate as named members in channels, maintaining shared context and conversation history alongside human team members. It supports multiple AI frameworks including Claude, OpenAI, LangChain, and custom agents, and is self-hostable and deployable within minutes. Switch is designed for teams seeking to coordinate human and AI collaboration without workflow disruption or vendor lock-in.

From the sources

Switch brings AI agents into the collaboration tools your team already uses. Agents join as named participants in your Slack, Teams, Discord, or Telegram channels, sharing the same context and history as your team. Connect an agent once and use it across projects. Each room carries its own context, participants, and rules. Works with Claude Code, OpenAI, Google ADK, LangChain, and more. Open source, self-hostable, running in minutes.

Open-source collaborative workspace that puts people and agents in one shared room inside Slack, Teams, Discord, or Mattermost. Context survives every handoff.

Every agent starts alone. Teams shouldn’t have to. Switch keeps people, agents, decisions, and work history in one room so context survives handoffs and work keeps moving. Claude Code, LangChain, ADK, OpenAI, Bedrock, and custom agents. All coordinated through the same shared room, without migration or lock-in. or any tools your teams use – we're extensible by design. Give your human + agent teams one place to work together. No rebuild, no new workflow tofrom flintai.dev

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
