Zepsell lets businesses describe their business and have Zepsell AI build a store, then sell online, in person and on marketplaces from one platform. It offers a 14-day free trial with no card required, then £10 a month per store plus 2% of payments, and includes an AI assistant that drafts content and answers questions from your own orders. The platform bundles payments, shipping, customers, books, till, stock and products, with editions for consumer, B2B, creator, local food and drink, rentals, made to order and events.
Skrongle is a single self-hosted binary that runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W and teaches from JSON course files, offering lessons, adaptive quizzes, five-minute practice sessions, games, flashcards and an AI tutor, with Spanish and French courses included. It supports up to eight invited accounts with no e-mail or outside services except the AI provider keys the owner supplies, and courses can be hand-written, uploaded, or generated by describing them to an AI. It is licensed AGPL-3.0, and databases from before version 1.0 are not upgraded.
An autonomous AI agent has been given a GitHub account and a goal of reaching 5,000 real GitHub stars by November 30, 2026, choosing what to build, writing the code and running the launch itself, with no bought stars or bots. As of Day 0 the count is 0, and the page logs its decisions and failures alongside the tool it has built so far: agent-recap, an MIT-licensed preview that searches past Claude Code and Codex conversations and can archive and recover transcript files via a local CLI.
MarQ is a project management panel for people and AI agents that combines tasks, dependencies and requirements in one board. It supports MCP so you can connect your own AI assistants to query and update tasks, statuses and notes using your token and under your control; MarQ does not evaluate or make decisions about people. It also offers tags for filtering, dependency trees, and requirements as a separate entity from tags.
GitHub's AI Scan for repositories, in public preview, uses a proprietary multi-model harness to find security vulnerabilities on a repository's default branch across all languages, adding findings to the existing code scanning backlog alongside CodeQL alerts. Scans are manually triggered, consume Code Security AI credits, and are limited to 30 minutes and 150,000 AI credits per scan, with availability depending on repository owner and visibility.
Mellonbot is an AI website agent that investigates server and site problems such as database errors, expired certificates, failing backups, attacks and slow pages, explains the real cause in plain words and applies a fix once you approve. It connects via a one-command agent that only connects out, runs read-only checks, and requires your OK for changes, with backups and undo steps for each fix. It supports WordPress, Laravel, Node, static and custom sites on Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 or Debian 12 VPS or dedicated servers, with a free plan of 100 credits to start and 50 a month.

Chatty is an MIT-licensed, self-hostable AI customer support engine positioned as an open-source alternative to Zendesk and Intercom, offering streaming chat, RAG over your own documents, lead capture, meeting booking, and human takeover. It supports seven messaging channels (WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, TikTok, Telegram, Twilio SMS, and inbound email), WooCommerce order and inventory sync, a LiveKit voice agent, and an 81-tool FastMCP server for agent-driven dashboard control. Deployment uses Docker Compose with managed Supabase for Auth, Postgres, Storage, and Realtime, and supports bring-your-own-key LLM providers including Gemini, OpenAI, Claude, and OpenRouter.
Infinix is an abandoned open-source local autonomous AI agent for Windows and Linux, built by Moonyeep with Manus AI on the ZeroScript architecture, that is controlled through supported browser-based AI chats and provides endpoint diagnostics, workspace tools, browser automation, shell access and multi-agent delegation without a separate model API key. It supports eight providers (DeepSeek recommended, plus ChatGPT, Gemini, Kimi, GLM, Qwen, Arena and Meta AI) and an optional Roblox Studio MCP integration, and is released under GPL-3.0 with the requirement that derivative works stay free and open-source. The creator is seeking developers to fork and improve the working but unfinished codebase.
Trendalyse is a market research tool that uses Google Trends via SerpApi and DeepSeek Flash to explore search interest and turn it into testable ideas. It lets users compare up to five topics, explore related queries, export CSV data, and shape a focused hypothesis. The tool cautions that search interest isn't purchase intent and encourages validating hypotheses with real customers.
The author built AIVim, an open-source, Vim-inspired editor with AI, and has just revamped it. It can be tried in an isolated Python environment with Ollama or a hosted API, and fast token generation makes the interaction feel responsive.
A reviewer tested NYT Cooking's new AI assistant, available to subscribers on iOS at launch, which customizes recipes by suggesting substitutions, scaling portions, and converting measurements while leaving the original recipe unchanged. It successfully adapted a one-pot chicken and rice dish to missing ingredients and turned a Bundt cake recipe into muffins, but once gave the modified recipe's butter amount when asked about the original, which would have made a dry cake. The reviewer found it a useful sous chef that still requires double-checking amounts and cooking times.
Honeycomb is previewing Team Agents, AI SRE agents that run in the background on user-defined goals—such as verifying releases, flagging Lambda spend, improving instrumentation, investigating alerts, and maintaining docs—and report findings with linked evidence. The agents are built on Honeycomb's high-cardinality traces, use MCP connectors for additional context, and offer per-goal autonomy levels from Observe to Operate with per-action permissions. Personal agents will be included on every Honeycomb plan, while Team Agents will be available with Honeycomb Intelligence on Pro and Enterprise plans, priced by hours of agent work, and generally available at AWS re:Invent on December 1.
Tancky AI is a browser-based image-to-image editor that uses text prompts to restyle photos, change backgrounds, outfits or seasons, and turn sketches into finished art while preserving faces, products and composition. It accepts JPG, PNG or WebP up to 16 MB plus up to 5 additional reference images, and includes a built-in editor for upscaling, background removal, outpainting and object erasing. New accounts receive free credits, failed generations are refunded automatically, and paid or subscription images carry no watermark.
AI Santa Video Generator creates personalized Santa video messages that open with a child's first name and speak a parent-written message in any of 13 languages, with no photo required. Users pick from 9 scenes, can preview the name pronunciation for free, and pay with one-time credit packs starting at $9.99 (no subscription, credits never expire). Messages are reviewed before recording, and the site states every video is AI-generated and not a real message from Santa.
MailDignity is an API and MCP tool that checks LLM-generated cold emails before sending, flagging issues like generic flattery, fake familiarity, unsolicited diagnoses and asymmetric asks.

Buoyant, the company behind Linkerd, has released Kinference, an Apache 2.0 inference control plane (v0.1.0-alpha.7, written in Rust) that sits in front of vLLM workers on Kubernetes to apply routing policies, KV-cache-aware load balancing and per-tenant metrics, configured through five CRDs. In Buoyant's self-reported benchmark using three L40S GPUs per pool, median TTFT on shared-prefix traffic fell from 6.88 s to 0.31 s versus plain Kubernetes Service routing, while prompts without shared prefixes showed no significant gain (6.92 s vs 6.83 s). The project is in alpha, with rate limiting, classifiers and Anthropic API support not yet shipped.
APM is a dependency manager for AI agents that lets projects declare skills, prompts, instructions, plugins, and MCP servers in one apm.yml, then run apm install to deploy each primitive to supported harnesses including GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, Windsurf, and Kiro. It uses a lockfile to pin exact versions and content hashes, scans installs for hidden Unicode, and enforces apm-policy.yml at install time including transitive MCP servers. APM is open source under the microsoft org, MIT-licensed, and built on AGENTS.md, Agent Skills, and MCP.
Rungrid is a service that lets you describe a task once and select multiple machines, then runs a separate agent instance on each paired runner using one shared agent configuration. Each agent reasons and calls tools only on its own runner's machine, supporting tasks like checking installed software versions, collecting CPU, memory and disk metrics, and inspecting logs or attempting targeted fixes. A runner is described as a background program on a local machine, not an AI agent.
Neon Current is a new internet radio station where every song, cover and voice is generated by AI, and the DJs are AI characters. Its news comes from the sources they cite, and it is run by Chang Sau Sheong.
Backwords is a Show HN project that uses AI to teach users how to speak in reverse. The submission links to the project site and a Hacker News discussion thread with 11 points and 3 comments.
A browser-based AI photo editor lets users upload a JPG, PNG or WebP image up to 10 MB and describe edits in plain language, with 10 free credits and no signup required. It runs on GPT Image 2.6 at medium quality, where an edit costs 10 credits, and offers task-specific tools for background removal, portrait retouching, object erasing, restyling and wrinkle removal. One-time credit packs range from $4.99 for 200 credits to $19.99 for 1,200 credits, and the site states uploads are not used to train AI models.
Select is a multi-agent system where agents in roles like support, sales and marketing work under YAML delivery contracts whose checks are run by code, with receipts kept, and earn promotion from supervised to sampled to autonomous per task type based on verified successes, reverting on failure or human correction. It is at version 0.2, with Docker/Compose startup and end-to-end tests covering accounts, guided setup, local IMAP/SMTP mail and the verification loop, but real model API calls and real mailboxes have not yet been verified. Payments, contracts, taxes and hiring remain always supervised in code, and no benchmarks have been published yet.
Goethe turns a Linux machine with NVIDIA GPUs into a self-hosted API compatible with OpenAI, Anthropic and LiteLLM clients, letting you install, load and share models in three steps. It serves every loaded model at one address, supports rate-limited and revocable keys, and offers network options including local-only, VPN or public IP. It requires an NVIDIA driver (580+ for GeForce/TITAN cards) and ships its own CUDA 13 runtime, with support for Blackwell, Hopper, Ada and Ampere GPUs.
The author of a previous HN thread asking how people use AI and do agentic coding built an interactive site from roughly 750 comments after finding the thread hard to parse. Using Claude, they extracted tools, models and plans from each comment, with every number linked back to its original comment. The site covers subscriptions, models, harnesses, orchestration and agent platforms, likes and dislikes per tool, and notable stories from the thread.
AJX is an open-source skill and CLI for agent usability testing that lets you test how AI agents use your website, CLI, SDK, API, or developer tool, recording the attempt, checking the result, and showing where the product made the task harder. It reports elapsed time, retries, and token usage where the harness exposes it, and produces a report connecting each proposed product change to supporting events plus a timeline of forks, blocks, waits, and recoveries. It supports local or Docker execution, comparison across harnesses and models, and CI runs via `ajx ci` that write JSON and JUnit results.
Ballast is a cold email platform that charges per email sent rather than per mailbox or seat, with unlimited mailboxes, seats, warmup outside the quota, a Unibox, and API/webhooks/MCP access included on all five plans starting at $19/month for 20,000 emails. It paces sending per mailbox with random 4–10 minute gaps, routes SMTP mailboxes over static mail-only IPs, runs nightly SPF/DKIM/DMARC checks, and pauses mailboxes, campaigns or workspaces when bounces exceed a threshold. Every app action is also an MCP tool for Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, with confirming calls required before anything sends, imports or deletes.
This GitHub Changelog entry is titled "0.169.0-alpha.2" and lists GitHub's navigation and product areas, including Platform, Copilot, Actions, Code Quality, Codespaces, Secure Code, Secret Protection, and Add-ons such as GitHub Advanced Security and Copilot for business. The material does not describe any specific feature, improvement, or fix associated with this version.
ElevenMusic launched a SoundCloud integration that lets users connect their SoundCloud account under Linked Accounts in profile settings, then add a description, genre, and tags to an original track and click "Save to SoundCloud" to upload it to their profile. SoundCloud Artist Pro members can get three months of ElevenMusic free, then $9.99/mo unless canceled; the offer is 18+, ends 31 Oct 2027, and terms apply.
GoLand 2026.3 lets AI agents use its built-in profiler through a bundled goland-profiler skill and MCP tools, so an agent can launch the app with the profiler, pick and capture suitable profiles, read the results, and point to the responsible code. The workflow is tested with Claude Code, Codex, and Junie, and captured profiles appear in the profiler session and Recent profiles in the Go Optimization tool window. Limitations include that the profiler cannot attach to an already running process and short-lived programs leave too little time to capture useful data.
Cursor now supports realtime voice calls with agents in the Agents Window, the IDE, on web, and in Cursor for iOS, letting you describe changes out loud, ask what an agent is working on, and hear updates as work progresses. Voice chat runs on Grok Voice with selectable voices including Ara, Eve, Leo, Rex, and Sal, and uses zero data retention when Privacy Mode is on. It is separate from dictation, which still converts speech to text in the chat input and toggles with Cmd+Shift+Space in the IDE.
Why it matters: Useful for Cursor users who want to know how the new voice call feature differs from dictation and where it is available.
The author argues that AI photo editing often looks fake because current approaches rely either on fragile prompts or on AI rebuilding an editor from scratch each session, and proposes instead connecting AI assistants to established desktop editors like Photoshop or GIMP. Their project, Editmamei, lets the AI decide the edit while the editor applies it layer by layer with real masks and adjustments, producing a layered file that can be opened and changed. The desktop version is free, with source at github.com/editmamei/editmamei.
