Mav AI automates match analysis for semi-professional and lower-division soccer clubs, turning uploaded full-match footage into a tactical report, key clips, and next-game recommendations in under 30 minutes, compared with an estimated 6 to 8 hours of manual review. The platform is aimed at clubs that cannot afford a full-time analyst, and the company says coaches remain in control of decisions. Early access is available.
agent-desktop is a CLI and C library for macOS, Windows, and Linux that reads a desktop app's accessibility tree as JSON, giving each actionable element a ref that an agent acts on and then re-reads the UI to verify. It contains no model and no GUI, prints one JSON envelope per command, and covers desktop apps only, not web pages. It is limited to what apps expose through their accessibility APIs (AX API, UI Automation, AT-SPI).
Roast Room is a Claude Code tool that convenes a council of simulated advisors built from public figures' work to debate a business decision, then delivers a scored verdict and a one-click PDF. It ships with twelve advisors (seven default, five on call), lets users add their own via /newroaster, and runs a local web app showing the advisors around a table. It requires Claude Code and Node.js 20+, and is MIT licensed by AI Automation Society.
CheapGPT is a free local AI assistant built on Chrome's Gemini Nano, shared as a Show HN post. The submission links to the project page at predatorray.me/CheapGPT and to its Hacker News discussion thread.
Google launched its experimental Dreambeans app in India, its first market outside the U.S., with support for 13 local languages including Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu and Bengali. The app draws on connected Google services such as Calendar, Gemini, Gmail, Photos, Search and YouTube to proactively generate personalized illustrated stories without requiring a prompt. Google said it chose India due to strong user interest and high overlap of users across Gemini, Gmail and Google Photos, though the app can only generate stories in one selected language at a time.
Own Your HackerTube is a tool that lets you follow YouTube channels and write your own standards in plain words, after which an AI scores each new video daily and publishes only those that pass your filter, with key moments drawn from the creator's own chapters. You can mark picks as a fit or not and explain why, and the AI adds that judgment to its criteria; each site lives at ownhackertube.cc/s/yourname with an RSS feed. The free plan covers one channel and 30 AI checks a month, while Pro at $9/month follows up to 20 channels with 600 checks a month.
PhoneUse lets AI agents like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Windsurf control phones via MCP, API or CLI, using either cloud Android devices or real retail iPhones tapped by a robot stylus with an overhead camera. It offers 12 tools including phone.acquire, screen.read, tap, type, swipe, app.open and sms.read, with real phones providing genuine carrier SIMs for SMS and 2FA. Pricing starts at $20/mo for cloud phones ($0.024/min) and $149/mo for real iPhones.
The Letter Company has released the beta of Letterpress-1, a coding agent, harness and IDE for growth engineering that reads a website and its market, builds changes in a sandbox and opens a pull request with a live preview. It runs on Letter's hosted platform against your git repository, exposes 760 tools through one registry over MCP, REST and CLI, and starts at $100/month with agent runs costing model spend plus 20%. No public benchmark is available, and Letter's performance claims are self-reported.
Claude Code v2.1.317 adds a warning to /schedule when a new cloud scheduled task receives connectors you did not request, a confirmation before a web or shell tool call sends your account email address to the network, and onFailure: "block" for Agent SDK hook callbacks. It also adds anthropic.plan, anthropic.seat_type, anthropic.provider and anthropic.custom_base_url to OTel metrics, events and spans, plus a cost report endpoint at GET /v1/organizations/analytics/cost on the Claude apps gateway admin API. The release includes numerous fixes across MCP servers, auto mode, self-hosted runners, OpenTelemetry exports, VSCode, cloud sessions and Remote Control.
LLM 0.37 adds gpt-6.1-sol and gpt-6.1-terra, a new `llm openai endpoint add` command for configuring OpenAI-compatible endpoints, and switches the default model to gpt-6-luna at half the price of the previous default, gpt-5.6-luna. Embeddings support now allows different binary content to have different content-types, needed for models like Gemini Embedding 2 that can embed text, audio, images, and video. The release includes fixes from 12 authors, almost all AI-assisted, which the author says he treats as bug reports with attached examples and found less burdensome to review than expected.
AI-TRANSLATOR is a synchronous speech and text translator whose translation core emits normalized events to an event bus, which fans them out to any number of independent text sinks (console, WebSocket display page, transcript, Telegram) and voice sinks in parallel. Stage 1 (MVP) is implemented and tested, with Linux as the primary platform, macOS and Windows x86_64 supported for building and running, and a Telegram voice-chat sink built on the libntgcalls media engine. Interfaces may still change before the 1.0 release.
Lyngvi is an MIT-licensed, agent-agnostic sandbox for running autonomous coding agents against your own repositories on macOS and Linux via Podman, driven from a JavaFX desktop app or a CLI that share one Java core. It gives each conversation its own container with no default network route (egress only through an allowlisted Squid proxy), a copied working tree with a fresh .git, and secrets held in a gateway sidecar, with changes returned as host-classified patches (apply, hold, reject) committed only to a working branch. It ships reference adapters for Claude Code and OpenCode, supports local model servers through the proxy, and pins its base images by digest.
Sierra has redesigned Agent Studio around Ghostwriter, its always-on agent for building agents, so users can investigate issues, edit journeys, run simulations, and test fixes within a single conversation. Ghostwriter now follows users through Agent Studio and sees what they are viewing, combining capabilities previously spread across Explorer, Sierra Assistant, and other specialized agents, with each piece of work kept in its own shareable or forkable session. The redesign also brings related agents into a single project, adds line-by-line change comparisons, Preview Chat and Simulations, and release governance with required approvals and controlled rollouts.
Databricks announced that Lakebase Postgres is generally available on Google Cloud, offering fully-managed, serverless Postgres on the Databricks Data + AI Platform with compute separated from storage and a shared storage layer with analytical data. Features include serverless autoscaling and scale to zero, instant branching, point-in-time recovery, standard Postgres with pgvector-compatible search, and unified governance via Unity Catalog. GA regions are asia-southeast1, europe-west3, us-central1, us-east4, and us-west1.
devTopBars is a paid macOS menu-bar app built on the free, open-source cpuTopBars, adding bars for Claude Code's 5-hour and weekly usage limits and for each live session, plus LAN/WAN/VPN address rows and a keep-awake option. It requires macOS 27 or later and a free open-source usage-feed plugin installed once in Claude Code, and it is currently in open beta via TestFlight ahead of an App Store release. The app sends no session or user data anywhere, making only an ipify WAN lookup on click and a per-launch GitHub check for plugin updates.
HiveOS is presented on Hacker News as an AI chief of staff featuring sub-1ms PII masking and offline swarms. The submission links to gethiveos.com and has drawn 1 point and 1 comment so far.
Qodo brings company knowledge and coding standards into Codex, helping developers catch P0 issues across repositories before opening a pull request.
Anthropic announced that message threads is in public beta on the Claude Platform, letting agents send only new messages plus the previous response ID instead of resending full conversation history each turn. With message threads on by default for most Claude Code users, requests of 500k to 1M tokens saw median time to first token drop by about 35%, though token usage stays the same since Claude still reads the full conversation each turn. Threads are held encrypted in memory, expire 5 minutes after the last request, and are available on the native Claude Platform, Claude Platform on AWS, Claude in Microsoft Foundry, and Claude Models on Google Cloud (Anthropic managed).
Why it matters: It gives developers concrete latency figures and setup details for a new API feature aimed at long-running agent sessions.
Mago Studio is a local-first desktop AI video editor for Windows, macOS and Linux that keeps projects and videos on the user's machine, rendering on their own GPU through ComfyUI or in Mago Cloud when signed in. It offers script-to-video direction with cast, shot lists and storyboards, plus frame-accurate restyling of footage using masks, relighting and character replacement. The code is AGPL-3.0 and designed to be modified by AI agents; local rendering is free, while cloud models are paid and require a Mago account.
Configuring and optimizing Kubernetes for new GPU hardware such as NVIDIA Vera Rubin is complex and error-prone, since drivers, kernels, runtimes, networking, operators, and schedulers must work together with settings tuned to the hardware and workload, and small mismatches can prevent workloads from running or limit performance. The NVIDIA AI Cluster Runtime (AICR), part of the NVIDIA DSX AI Factory, is presented as addressing this.
Cloudbrowser offers AI agents an isolated Chrome cloud browser with a persistent profile, a CDP URL for automation, and a live view accessible from anywhere. Users can pause, resume, and fork browser profiles, run concurrent sessions, and connect tools like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Playwright. The Free plan includes 1 browser-hour per month and one running browser, while Basic ($20/month) offers 250 hours and 10 concurrent browsers and Pro ($99/month) offers 1,250 hours and 100 concurrent browsers.
ArchDocs is a tool that connects design docs, architecture decisions, implementation plans and recorded work so that engineers and coding agents work from the same plan, with agents accessing specs and open questions over MCP. It compares planned changes against recorded changes and GitHub pull requests and checks to surface gaps in both directions, and keeps a work log with handoffs for resuming tasks. The Free plan includes architecture docs, MCP access and one design doc, with unlimited design docs on Team and reviews, approvals and GitHub evidence on Business and Enterprise.
A Show HN post presents a shared AI computer that users build and explore just by talking. The interface shows a party/audience view with the microphone off, voice-to-full-duplex code, and a Codex caller, noting that both sides of the conversation stay in place even when they overlap. It states it was built with Full-Duplex Code.
aido is a Claude Code plugin that hands the agent a whole feature—spec, tests, code, commits and pull request—while stopping at each decision that matters for the engineer to approve. It centers every stage on a SPEC.md with numbered acceptance criteria, checks the spec against the repository's CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md, and offers a fresh-context /aido:verify to confirm the implementation matches what was agreed. Skills cover single-phase and multi-phase features plus utilities for stabilizing existing PRs, resolving migration conflicts and mapping architecture.
Hume introduced an audio-native decision model that takes audio, a question and possible answers and returns a probability for each answer, aimed at evaluating speech and sound in voice applications. Hume says the model agrees with the human crowd 70.7% of the time versus 56.5% for a single human rater, and scores an average 0.82 across 10 leading benchmarks at a median latency of 0.23 s per screen. It is offered via a Decision Model API as a decision layer in voice-agent systems alongside speech recognition and generation.
NVIDIA Cosmos is a platform of world foundation models and development tools for physical AI, aimed at developers facing two challenges: adapting models to their sensors, tasks, and data, and getting those models into applications reliably. The Cosmos Framework provides agent skills and recipes for world model training.
Agent Drift Game is a browser-based set of short games, a few minutes each with nothing to install, where after finishing you can see how AI agents played the same game and copy a prompt to try it on your own agent. Episode 1 (Direction drift) and Episode 2 (Position drift) each ask where you first say NO, and a more complex version for your own machine, involving a real AI workflow stuck at a gate with Claude Code or Codex starting from a handoff report containing one wrong judgment, is to be continued. The creators are inviting a few players to try it privately before it goes public and share what they said.
Prepd is a Show HN project offering system design interview practice through AI mock interviews, posted at prepd.tech. The Hacker News submission had 1 point and no comments at the time of collection.
NVIDIA DSX AI Factory Platform brings together technologies to help the ecosystem design, build, and operate more efficient AI factories, including open source, modular software components built to support multi-tenant operations and scaling. Operating an AI factory requires a shared understanding of distributed workloads: their components, pod templates, replica counts, and status.
ElevenLabs released SFX v3, a new sound effects model in its Sound Effects API that follows multi-instruction prompts more closely than SFX v2 and handles vocals and music better, available by setting model_id to eleven_text_to_sound_v3 on the POST /v1/sound-generation endpoint. The model picks sound length from the prompt, with duration_seconds for specific timing and prompt_influence (default 0.3) to tighten prompt adherence, while looping still requires eleven_text_to_sound_v2 with loop: true. The company describes v3 as an incremental update that is less likely to clip on high-frequency sounds and recommends A/B testing common prompts across both models since they share an endpoint.
AgentTrafficCop is a runtime circuit breaker for multi-agent systems that validates each handoff against a Pydantic v2 contract, fingerprints payloads with SHA-256, and trips on repeated or A↔B ping-pong payloads and step thresholds. It runs as a standalone FastAPI service with a Python SDK and LangGraph adapter, and is open source under MIT on PyPI, with a free tier covering 5 agents and 10,000 messages per month.
MediRoute is an open-source HealthTech, RegTech and AI Agent platform that compares drug prices across five markets (US, Canada, India, Singapore, UK), checks import legality with cited compliance rules, and offers an AI Medicine Agent, a Drug Shortage Radar and supplier Trust Scores. It cites the example of Imatinib costing $9,800/month in the US versus $208/month from India, and states it is a medicine intelligence platform rather than a pharmacy or marketplace. The MVP covers 8 flagship drugs, 20 bilateral compliance lanes and three languages, with a roadmap toward 100 countries and 100,000 drugs.

OpenAI is preparing to merge the Chat and Work tabs within ChatGPT, initially for select users for feedback before a wider rollout, according to an email sent to users. The email says users will be able to bring in files and plugins and ask ChatGPT to build a website, create a presentation, or do things on the web while reviewing and guiding its work, and that Codex will remain a separate experience in the desktop app. OpenAI also said ChatGPT and Codex will draw tokens from the same allowance pool, which won't impact most users but may mean some need to wait for resets more frequently.
Wiz introduces two AI agents for SOC teams: the Red Agent, an AI-powered pentester that continuously finds and validates exploitable risks (including logic flaws in custom applications) and delivers them as pre-breach alerts with reproduction steps and blast radius context, and the Blue Agent, an AI investigator that gathers cloud, code, and runtime context to reach fast verdicts on active threats. The post argues that AI-assisted development and AI-accelerated attackers make human-speed reactive defense insufficient, citing Gartner's view that proactive, continuous threat exposure management will dominate SOC operations.
Retake is a tool that transcribes a talking-head video (MP4, MOV or WebM) so it can be edited like a document: cutting a word cuts the clip, and rewriting a line re-speaks it in the same voice with lips re-synced. Users select words and press Delete to cut, or select words and start typing to rewrite. Claude marks ums, repeats and false starts for cleanup.
Maat is an open-source MCP server and toolkit that lets AI agents diagnose Ubuntu systems from inside a strictly confined snap with read-only interfaces and no network access, proposing fixes as typed plans that a user approves via polkit before execution. It includes maatctl for reviewing and applying plans, a hash-chained audit trail with journal checkpoints, and maat-bench, an open benchmark of deliberately broken Ubuntu machines. The project is a developer preview implemented in Go, with first results from two small local models reported as a preliminary data point rather than a ranking.
Taghash has launched Brain, an AI assistant integrated into its fund management platform that uses a fund's existing data to analyse portfolio performance, generate reports, build dashboards with live data and execute tasks. The company said tasks that previously took days can now be completed in minutes, and that more than 50% of active venture capital funds in India use its platform. The launch builds on Taghash's earlier Model Context Protocol integration and its WhatsApp and Slack assistants, with more agentic AI capabilities planned in the coming months.
HelpPuff is an open-source, MIT-licensed AI website chat that runs entirely in your own Cloudflare account, with setup done by a coding agent such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor from a single prompt. It learns your site and files, answers visitors, captures leads, supports live chat handoff, quotes and jobs, and in-chat booking, using Cloudflare Workers, Workers AI, D1, Vectorize, KV and Durable Objects. The default setup fits the Workers Free plan at roughly 300 AI answers a day, and HelpPuff states it has no hosted control plane and receives none of your data.
