Re:Turn any software into an agent-native CLI on Friday March 13, 2026 @09:53AM (#47364481)
CLI-Anything generates a complete command-line interface for existing software (if codebase available). they've already generated CLIs for 11 complex applications, I guess this is cool, can be used to make classic software to Agentic enabled. .

Show HN: API to get structured data from any site's search

https://searchresult.dev/

SearchResult is a single POST endpoint. You pass a website URL and a query, it returns structured JSON (or Markdown/HTML tables). It auto-detects the schema of the results — titles, URLs, dates, scores, whatever the site returns.by default, it Works with 100+ sites out of the box, but you can also add any site with a search bar at it.SerpAPI or Firecrawl etc are great for Google results or raw...

currencies are hard code as of now, Will connect with some api's.

Algorithms are jailed in PDF files

For decades, researchers have published thousands of algorithms in areas like optimization, ML, cryptography, and data science. Most of them are still locked away in PDFs—hard to extract, test, or reuse, not in code form.What if we could liberate these algorithms? Using AI/code agents, we can pull them out of papers, turn them into clean, runnable code, and organize them in a dynamic...

Automating IDEs: Who's Working on It?

With modern screen automation capabilities, is anyone working on automating IDEs like Cursor/VS Code ?Key requirements:1. UI agents with a knowledge base – Integrating IDE documentation, dev docs, and contextual intelligence. 2. Expert UI traces for optimal actions – Capturing and replaying efficient workflows.Would love to hear thoughts, projects, or ideas on making IDEs more autonomous.

“The AMT/AIT was also weaponized by certain political elements in India to proliferate harassment against the Brahmins of Tamil Nadu”

I was born and raised in Tamil Nadu, having lived there for over two decades. In my experience, I have not witnessed any widespread harassment specifically targeting Brahmins. While isolated incidents may exist—just as they do for various communities across all states—there is no substantial evidence to suggest a systemic issue. Could you provide concrete examples, statistics, or credible sources to substantiate this claim ?

Re:Show HN: AI Feed on Monday October 28, 2024 @11:34PM (#41979117)
I'm developing a tiny app that allows users to create AI-agents to filter the web for personalized content. Here’s how it works:

users set up profiles describing their interests, like: Profile 1: AI researcher focused on LLMs Profile 2: React developer interested in frontend tech, etc.

the agent will match new content to each profile and assigns relevance scores to content based on the profile. Then, it delivers a daily digest of few high-quality, curated links tailored to each user’s interests.

so far, I’ve built a feature that generates a structured feed from any webpage.

Now, I am writing code for profile setup. . to refine filtering capabilities for each profile for more customized results.

does this sound interesting? please check this out and provide your valuable feedback.

Future of Online Tasks

I've been digging into some of the recent research from ICLR 2025, and I saw 20+ papers !!Tons of new work on web automation, like WebCanvas, AgentOccam, VeSX, and NNetscape Navigator, is pointing to a future where smart agents handle more of our online tasks for us. But with all this progress, a bunch of questions come to mind about how this is actually going to change things.Figured I'd throw...

Show HN: Generate and follow Structured Feeds from any web page

https://www.weblist.ai/

Hi HN,I created this product to monitor specific search result pages. It’s rare to find RSS feeds for SERPs, this tool also works well for any page that lists items. I used LLM for wrapper creation (with an average cost of $1 per list). The wrappers are maintained as long as the page structure remains unchanged. Each feed is scheduled to crawl every 4 hours.I'd appreciate any feedback,...

Re:Show HN: Monitor Any List Page Without RSS Feeds on Saturday October 19, 2024 @11:42AM (#41888436)
Extracting a list page using an LLM costs $1, so I reused the selectors when extracting data from the same page in subsequent operations to optimize costs. the extraction works well for search result pages as well. As far I know none of the websites provide as an RSS feed for search results.

Show HN: Monitor Any List Page Without RSS Feeds

https://www.weblist.ai/

Hi HN,I wanted to share a tool I've been working on called WebList.I've often found myself repeatedly checking certain websites for updates, also watching some keywords in few website. . . Many of these sites don't offer RSS feeds, and setting up custom scrapers or alerts felt like a hassle.WebList lets you monitor any webpage that displays a list of items. You just enter the URL of the page...

Re:Single prompt achieves competitive results with o1-preview on Monday September 16, 2024 @10:01PM (#41563268)
"We evaluated REAP using a dataset designed to highlight the limitations of large language models (LLMs), comparing zero-shot prompting with REAP-enhanced prompts across six state-of-the-art models: OpenAI’s o1-preview, o1-mini, GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini, Google’s Gemini 1.5 Pro, and Claude 3.5 Sonnet. The results show significant performance improvements, with o1-mini increasing by 40.97%, GPT-4o by 66.26%, and GPT-4o-mini by 112.93%. While OpenAI's o1-preview already demonstrated strong baseline performance, it still showed modest gains. In addition to the performance improvements, REAP provides a cost-effective solution. For instance, GPT-4o-mini, which is about 100 times cheaper than o1-preview, delivered competitive results."
Cool.

1. Currently, it's a proof of concept only. In the next release, I will make sure to include some use cases/examples.

2. I haven’t finalized the pricing yet. For now, it's free. When I release, the starting price will be around $7-10 per ~200 runs/questions. I’m also considering offering a free tier; I’ll work that out later. Thank you.

Extended version Autogen. Added 8 new tools and modified some prompts. I never expected this much quality. linking my tiny benchmarking test in a tweet. https://x.com/saran945/status/1815441284812738734
I don't understand your question. . .

Do you need more details about How it finds the answer? I already shared most of the part in this thread.

The home page was done in 60 minutes, the whole product was done in 3 days. I was testing and releasing without any intention.

I slept, sorry for the delay reply.

The quality of LLM does not improve my product much, I am facing extraction issues, will have to improve continually.

"You are going to see a lot of competition in this space." I welcome them all :)

Huginn is a great product, though I never used, I am aware of the value it provides. Alertfor is not similar to Huginn. my product is part of something else, I extracted and unleased as separate product. Will go in different direction.
The rules suggesting that I would get more feedback if there is no signups. Anyways, luckily I have got enough feedback :) next release will have some public access without signups.
sure. I do not stop.

I have designed the product for consumers and professionals. Since it's a new kind of product (?), I'm unsure what to call it. The agents continuously search the web on behalf of the user and create a feed for each query. Let me think more . . .

RAG is to enhance the generation capabilities of a language model by integrating external knowledge sources (DB, KB etc). This is done by retrieving relevant information from a knowledge base or document store and using it to inform or augment the model's responses.

Langchain is a library specifically designed to facilitate the development of applications using LLMs. It provides tools and utilities to build complex NLP pipelines with ease.

Alertfor is a SaaS product that combines LLMs with agents to provide automated search.

Does this answer your question ?

Awesome!!

Kindly try now with same question. I made some changes. I use Bing API as a initial resource selector. there were some issues. fixed it.
