What it does
AI apps work in demos, then production hits with drift, hallucinations, ignored instructions, and insane token costs. Willow is a runtime governance layer that sits between your app and LLM. By enforcing constraints at inference, Willow automatically steers conversations in real-time, so you don’t have to babysit outputs. Swap one line of code and get 82% fewer tokens, 75% faster multi-turn responses, and zero drift. Works with any model. No backend adjustments or added memory. Patent pending.
Willow remembers what you were doing, what you decided, and where to pick back up, without making you rebuild the whole story.

Willow Frontier ProJul 2026 · willowvoice.com · ▲292Hey HN! We were part of YC S24, ended up pivoting around. Made dictation that worked really well, and decided to go all in on agentic. We've done two major things. 1. Scribe is a revamp of our product. Continually learns your style (can get into details if comments want). TLDR; we fingerprint based off your edits, and make dictation sound more and more like you. Post-trained Llama 3.1 8b. 2. Dictation is completely free. Unlimited unpersonalized dictation for everyone.

Willow – Open-source privacy-focused voice assistant hardware2023 · github.com · ▲581As the Home Assistant project says, it's the year of voice! I love Home Assistant and I've always thought the ESP BOX[0] hardware is cool. I finally got around to starting a project to use the ESP BOX hardware with Home Assistant and other platforms. Why? - It's actually "Alexa/Echo competitive". Wake word detection, voice activity detection, echo cancellation, automatic gain control, and high quality audio for $50 means with Willow and the support of Home Assistant there are no compromises on looks, quality, accuracy, speed, and cost. - It's cheap. With a touch LCD display, dual…
I put an AI agent on a $7/month VPS with IRC as its transport layerMar 2026 · georgelarson.me · ▲340The stack: two agents on separate boxes. The public one (nullclaw) is a 678 KB Zig binary using ~1 MB RAM, connected to an Ergo IRC server. Visitors talk to it via a gamja web client embedded in my site. The private one (ironclaw) handles email and scheduling, reachable only over Tailscale via Google's A2A protocol. Tiered inference: Haiku 4.5 for conversation (sub-second, cheap), Sonnet 4.6 for tool use (only when needed). Hard cap at $2/day. A2A passthrough: the private-side agent borrows the gateway's own inference pipeline, so there's one API key and one billing relationship…
