Ask HN: Harness for Learning – Thoughts?

Posted by arvindm1991 on Tuesday September 15, 2026 @01:28PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I've been thinking about a harness for the learning use case. Current harness objective is to basically take a task and drive it to completion and minimize the need for user intervention. But if you want to learn anything, this is the almost the opposite goal. As I use agents, I'm seeing the task gets done, but I have no new capability or even intuition for solving similar tasks in the...

Hi HN, I’m a solo founder building Claypot, an open-ended creative coding studio for ages 6–16. The learning approach is inspired by Scratch, but Claypot focuses on the concepts involved in building AI systems: inference, grounding and sources, tools, evaluation, and bounded actions.

Kids combine visual blocks to build projects while the important AI-system choices remain visible and remixable. Claypot hides provider APIs and infrastructure, but not how the system is composed. I’d love feedback from educators, parents, AI builders, and anyone thinking about how children should learn to build with AI.

Demo coming soon!

The comment I added with the demo and showcase unfortunately got flagged for some reason. Working on a demo video! Please do check back tomorrow! I'll have it up! :).
