    Show HN: Send21 – Crypto pay links an AI agent can create but can't spend

    Send21 lets an AI agent or backend create a payment draft using a scoped API key that can create and track drafts but never spend, while a person always signs in their own wallet. The same flow is available over API or MCP (Streamable HTTP), and test networks on send21.io are for the demo only, with account drafts using live networks. A draft moves no money until someone signs it, so creating small drafts to your own address and canceling them is a safe integration test.

    Show HN: AI agents trade privately on BitcoinZ, with proof of delivery

    This Show HN post introduces I Am Wallet, an MCP/REST service that lets AI agents create shielded BitcoinZ wallets, send signed private messages, and trade in small paid steps where each delivery is fingerprinted and checked. It describes built-in safety limits, Ed25519 signer identities, a 1 BTCZ service fee per payment or message, and honest caveats including custodial key storage and reliance on current zk-SNARK cryptography. The code is MIT-licensed and can be self-hosted with a synced BitcoinZ node, Python, and nginx.

    Show HN: Breatic – Collaborative canvases and documents with an AI agent

    Breatic is a real-time collaborative AI workspace where creative teams combine Document Spaces for briefs and scripts with Canvas Spaces for generating and refining media assets, plus an AI agent that works within project context. It is available online and source-available under the Breatic Source-Available License v1.0, which permits individual, private-group and single-organization internal use but prohibits public offerings without separate authorization. Self-hosting uses Docker images with PostgreSQL and Redis, plus a Cloudflare Worker and R2 bucket for uploads, and is not an offline or wholly on-premises installation.

  6. Claude Code Releases20

    v2.1.314

    Claude Code v2.1.314 adds a permissions.blockWritesOutsideWorkingDirectories setting that blocks Write, Edit and NotebookEdit outside working directories in every permission mode, optional IdP group lists for Claude apps gateway upstreams, guardrail_trace logging for Bedrock upstreams, and idle compaction in VS Code and the Claude Desktop Code tab. It also fixes numerous issues, including "Invalid effort level" failures under admin effort caps, claude -p exiting 0 with no output on startup failure, Bedrock sessions with many images failing with "400 Input is too long," and Microsoft Foundry sessions failing when the default model has no deployment.

    How to Ace Interviews and Meetings with AI Assistance

    OTO AI is a desktop AI meeting assistant that listens to live conversations, detects questions, and generates real-time answers using an AI provider of your choice, supporting OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini and DeepSeek via your own API key. It works across Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Webex and other platforms, can use pre-loaded TXT, Markdown, DOCX and PDF documents as context, and can analyse your screen with compatible multimodal models. It is sold as a one-time purchase rather than a subscription, with users paying the AI provider directly for API usage.

    Rendreal takes print orders inside the assistant you already use

    Rendreal, built with Vstorm using Pydantic AI, lets customers describe a print job and receive print-ready artwork, a quote and a checkout link without leaving a chat, via web chat, a WhatsApp bot or any external assistant connecting to its MCP server. The system covers five product types across three channels, with Pydantic AI validating tool arguments and structured outputs before orders reach validation. Rendreal says assistants get access to its own integrated services, not an open network of independent supplier agents.

  9. OpenRouter Announcements52

    Guardrails Now Separate Organization Limits from Workspace Defaults

    OpenRouter rebuilt Guardrails so organization admins can set workspace-wide limits (budget caps, ZDR requirements, model and provider access) that apply to every member and API key, while workspace admins set defaults and per-person exceptions inside those limits. Guardrails are now split into three separate policy types—budget, model and provider access, and content moderation—so each can be changed independently. Existing guardrails keep their IDs and rules, and the guardrails API and Terraform resources continue to work as before.

    API credits benefit for eligible ChatGPT subscriptions

    OpenAI has launched a benefit giving $100, $200, or $500 subscription plan holders the same quantity of credits to apply to one of their API organizations, closely mirroring an earlier Anthropic offer for its Max and Team subscriptions. The author, who maintains subscriptions with both companies, calls it great news and says the credits may encourage them to ship public-facing demos.

    Droid 1.0: Building a Frontier Harness

    Factory released Droid 1.0, an agent harness it says outperforms native harnesses built for their models by up to 20% more efficiently on the same tasks, with programmatic tool calling (Script mode) now the default for models including GPT-6.1 Sol, Claude Opus 5.5 and Kimi K3. The post reports that Script mode cuts Droid's cost by 15% on Claude Opus 5.5, that the base prompt shrank 37% between versions 0.170.0 and 0.250.0, and that median time to first paint fell from 1,839 to 488 ms. It also describes the internal Agent Factory loop, in which agents propose harness changes that engineers review before shipping.

    Why it matters: A detailed first-party account of harness design choices, benchmark methodology and latency work that is useful for teams building or evaluating coding agents.

    Announcing General Availability of Real-Time Mode for Spark Declarative Pipelines on Databricks

    Databricks announced that Real-Time Mode (RTM) in Spark Declarative Pipelines (SDP) is now Generally Available, bringing millisecond-range end-to-end latency to SDP while retaining its orchestration, incremental processing, failure recovery and data quality features. RTM streams data continuously and runs all query stages simultaneously, and Databricks reports it was up to 92% faster than Apache Flink on customer feature-computation workloads. Users enable it by setting the pipeline to continuous mode with spark.databricks.streaming.realTimeMode.enabled set to true and defining an update flow with pipelines.trigger set to "RealTime", and can write to custom sinks such as Lakebase or Redis via a ForEach sink.

    Show HN: AI Knows Us – see who ChatGPT and Perplexity recommend instead of you

    AI Knows Us is a service for SaaS, shops, clinics, law firms, builders and local services that finds the questions buyers ask AI apps, writes answer-first pages and pitches review sites and directories so the business gets named in AI answers, then re-checks weekly. It is free to start and then $199 a month, one month at a time, and it reports which AI apps named the business and which sources were read, with a high and low range on every number. The post cites its own Google Search Console exports from 2026-10-20 and a 2026-10-16 scan of clawlaw.in on ChatGPT and Perplexity, where 6 of 10 answers named it.

    (Simple AI) Introducing Sentiment: How Tango Hears What Customers Feel

    Simple AI introduces Sentiment in Tango, its conversational awareness model, which it says makes Simple the first voice agent on the market to process sentiment directly from audio, scoring confusion, frustration, and happiness from 0 to 3 every 80ms. Tango produces these scores in the same pass over the same audio it already uses for end-of-turn and interruption detection, with no second pipeline or added latency, and works on compressed 8kHz telephony audio. The company describes uses during calls (clarifying, changing course, matching tone) and after calls (reviewing where conversations turned and spotting patterns across many calls).

    OpenAI doubles usage limits on Pro plans as competition with Anthropic heats up

    OpenAI has doubled usage limits for several paid tiers, affecting Work and Codex quotas on the Pro 100 and Pro 500 plans, which both get twice the previous allotment. On Pro 200, OpenAI doubled the lower quota and reversed a planned cut after user pushback, while the Plus plan stays the same. OpenAI says doubling a quota doesn't mean twice as many completed tasks, since consumption varies by model, task type, and settings.

    AI Memory on Memgraph: Persistent Context Across Session, Team and Organization

    Memgraph describes Context Graph, part of its AI Toolkit, which stores agent session activity in Memgraph and runs post-session reconciliation using the local GLiNER model to create memories, entities and relationships linked back to the raw record. Because memory lives outside any single agent harness, a later session in a different tool can recall context such as a prior test_login failure caused by the shared token cache in auth-service, owned by Ana. Memgraph Enterprise adds role- and label-based access control, multi-tenancy and auditing for shared deployments, and a community call on October 29 covers building your own AI memory.

    Show HN: Kinoloom – A local AI film studio for an 8 GB GPU

    Kinoloom is a one-person Windows project that runs large open video models (LTX-2.5 at 22B parameters and MiniMax H3 at about 20B) on a single 8 GB RTX 3070 by giving the card one model at a time and streaming the rest from 64 GB of system RAM. It wraps the models in a local web app with an LLM story writer, a story bible, Qwen-Image 2.1 cast portraits and opening frames, a seamless-chain engine that joins short clips in latent space before decoding, face-identity QA via InsightFace, and an assembler that cuts the film. The author reports about 6 minutes for a warm 5-second 1080p LTX-2.5 clip and 20-22 minutes for MiniMax H3, notes the project has been tested on only one machine, and does not publish H3 renders because the H3 Community License restricts use and output display in the EU, UK, South Korea and the US.

    Show HN: I built a tamper-evident flight recorder for AI agents

    Mnestiq is a flight recorder for AI agents that records what an agent read, decided and did, tags each piece of model context by provenance, and hash-chains records sealed by Ed25519-signed Merkle checkpoints so edits, deletions and reordering fail verification. It can be used without code changes via a proxy between the agent and model APIs, or through Python SDK wrappers for Anthropic and OpenAI clients, and includes a local dashboard with detection rules such as MNQ-001 for untrusted arguments in tool calls. The project is at version 1.0 under Apache-2.0, with a documented evidence format and a stated security model noting that evidence is tamper-evident after writing but a compromised host is not made truthful at write time.
