Yansu
Hi HN Most teams run on a dozen SaaS tools and use maybe 20% of each. The rest is someone else's workflow that you're paying for. We built Yansu to fix that. It learns how you work — your desktop, your Slack, your Teams — and proactively builds bespoke tools tailored to you. You don’t need to prompt. It sees a pattern, builds a solution, and surfaces it for you to use or toss. Like, I do the same things before every call: look through Linkedin, see any open threads on email, read the latest blog/news of the company and any relevant slack conversations. Yansu noticed and built me an app…

In plain words
Yansu is an AI platform that observes user workflows and automatically converts repeated tasks into software automations and tools. It identifies patterns across files, messages, and processes, then systematizes the most valuable routines without requiring manual process mapping or coding knowledge. The tool is designed for teams and individuals looking to automate recurring work and build internal applications to streamline daily operations.

From the sources
Yanshu learns from the work you already do. It spots repeated tasks across files, messages, and workflows, then turns the best patterns into apps and automations. No process mapping or blank canvas—just the routines worth systemizing. Use it to automate recurring work, build lightweight internal tools, and speed up daily ops without writing code.
The proactive AI that turns how you work into knowledge, handoffs, and automations — no prompting. Free desktop app for Mac, Windows, and Linux. By Isoform.
Turns how you actually work into knowledge, handoffs, and automations. No prompts. No waiting. Yansu observes how you work, capturing every conversation, decision, hesitation, and distills raw memory into structured knowledge. Yansu doesn't wait to be asked. It spots what you need and acts on it before the thought even crosses your mind. No babysitting. Yansu works quietly while you stay focused on your work. Catch a movie, play a round, take the afternoon off. Yansu quietly opens apps, fills forms, and files tickets on a virtual cursor of its own—never touching yours. Yansu runs its own pointer in a virtual layer. Yours stays right where you left it—no jumps, no fights for…from yansu.app

TonkotsuJan 2026 · tonkotsu.ai · ▲386Hey HN, I’m Derek, part of a small team of ex-Facebook engineers and designer building Tonkotsu. We strongly believe that the future of software development requires every developer to become the tech lead of a team of agents. That shift requires new tools and workflows that go beyond existing IDEs or terminal agents. Tonkotsu is our take on that next-gen tool. It’s a desktop app that lets developers plan technical work, delegate many coding tasks in parallel, and then review the diffs — all in one place. Our main difference is that we tightly integrate this plan > delegate > verify loop and…

I believe there are still too many tools; even using them becomes work in itself. I'm building all these apps from scratch in one place, using the same database and UI, with the flexibility to eventually support the majority of work from one "superapp." Currently there are 18 apps (called "modules") on Nino: - Database types: Sheet, Form, Calendar, Gallery, Board, Todo, List - Composition types: Doc, Slide, Drive, Notebook, Canvas, Grid, Blog, Site - Communication types: Channel, Chat, Meet I want to…

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
