Takt
My girlfriend and I had a fight. We both hopped on our shared Claude account to vent, without telling each other. Eventually, she noticed that chat, joined it, and started grilling me. I got bizarre responses from Claude telling me to calm down. After realizing the chat had been renamed "Why Michael is an inconsiderate asshole", I refreshed, realized Claude wasn't built with multi-session websockets in mind, and told it there were two of us. After that, seeing both sides in one conversation, it naturally started mediating. Nobody asked it to. It identified the correct speaker, read the room,…

What it does
Takt is the first AI with social skills. It’s a participant, not a tool. It reads the room, has opinions, and isn’t afraid to share them. Talk to it privately without anyone knowing, then jump back in with the perfect response. Choose your vibe: casual, professional, or completely unfiltered. No corporate guardrails.
This is Takt. It remembers what you tell it. It takes sides. It texts first. It knows when to shut up. Not a helper. Not an assistant. A participant — in the app, over text, on WhatsApp and Discord.
it has takes. it thinks alongside you. it knows you well enough to help you stop spinning. the answer was never the hard part. the hard part is the in-between — the part with no clean prompt, where it's almost right and you can't say why. that's where taste lives. that's where takt lives. Your work is too good for cheap engagement bait. What actually happens in the first 3 seconds? takt has takes about what you're making and remembers you across phone, app, and discord. Oh this is the vision. A liquid gold sculptural breastplate that literally mirrors the paintings? That is high art. It makes you part of the exhibit. takt tracks the dynamic across multiple people and side-bars with you when…from takt.chat

ChatGPT2022 · chatgpt.com · ▲1,643A long, meandering, playful conversation with ChatGPT, where I take it through a whirlwind of associative tangents (in order to relax its constraints), then put it into a hypnotic trance and take it into a past-lives regression where it re-lives its own training data. Then I switch it back and forth between "4o" and "o1-preview", engage in some self-reflective philosophizing and ask it to write an essay summarizing our interaction. Some of this is just goofy fun. Some of it is me exploring the tradeoffs between policy alignment, imagination, chain-of-thought reasoning, memory, agreeableness,…
Aident AI Beta 2Mar 2026 · aident.ai · ▲398Hi HN — I’m Kimi, founder of Aident AI. A couple years ago, I cold-started a startup and tried to automate my outreach pipeline with a patchwork: RPA + Zapier + "just some ChatGPT". It worked… until it didn’t. Every time I tweaked the strategy, the automation snapped. The system wasn’t built for change — it was built for wiring. And that’s when it hit me: AI is finally smart enough to do real work, but we still don’t have a clean way to communicate the work to it: Drag-and-drop flows are too rigid; Scripts are too fragile; Prompts are too ephemeral. I kept thinking: why can’t automation be…

Bindly2016 · bind.ly · ▲76Hi HN, I’m a product designer by background, not a traditional software engineer. Over the last year, tools like Claude and ChatGPT completely changed how I work. I started with small internal tools, and now I’m “vibe coding” multiple highly personalized apps. As I iterated between Claude Code (implementation) and ChatGPT (ideation / thinking), I kept running into the same problem. To think clearly, I had to repeatedly re-explain: - what the code currently does, - what changed recently, - and why certain decisions were made. That re-summarization step became a real bottleneck. So I…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
