In plain words

Xirp is an agentic development environment built by Spotify that integrates with a team's services, documentation, and architectural decisions to provide AI coding agents with organizational context. Designed for development teams, it connects to ownership records and system information so that each AI coding session begins with relevant background rather than generating code in isolation. The tool aims to help AI agents make decisions that are both technically sound and operationally appropriate within an organization's systems.

From the sources

Xirp connects to your services, ownership, docs, and architectural decisions — so every AI coding session starts with real context, not guesswork. Tap into the full potential of Xirp. Request access to your own Portal instance, included with the beta. AI coding tools solved the generation problem. Code ships faster, more services get built, output goes up. But something else happened. It took new engineers months to ramp up. AI agents made fast, confident decisions that were technically correct and operationally wrong — because they didn't know what they were actually working inside. The knowledge that would fix this wasn't missing. It was in Slack threads nobody could find, in the heads of…from xirp.spotify.com

    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…

    Hey HN, This is my take on the agent harness. Everything on an isometric map. Agents are grouped into "buildings" that run in a sequence or a loop; e.g., the CodeForge has an agent that writes a PRD, another one that implements, and a third that reviews. Everything is customizable, you build your own buildings/teams however you want. It's a Tauri app, really light (about 8x less energy than the closest competitor I benchmarked, so it actually runs from a coffee shop on battery). It's macOS only for now, but ping me if you are willing to test the Windows or Linux version. I've been…

  • 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…
