I build a governed infrastructure for internal tools and AI agents: https://rootcx.com

Everybody uses Claude Code or AI coding tools to build internal software, but they lack the governed infrastructure layer required for enterprise trust. RootCX provides that missing foundation. We offer the security, auditability, hosting and permissioning primitives necessary to move internal software from "cool demo" to prod

I'm working on RootCX (https://github.com/RootCX/RootCX), a platform for building and shipping internal apps and AI agents in production.

Think of it like "Claude code on Supabase", but for internal apps and AI agents.

I got tired of choosing the deployment platform, wiring up Postgres, SSO (OIDC), RBAC, audit logs, secret vaults, integrations/tools/MCP, ... from scratch every time I needed an internal tool.

MCP versus Skills -> wrong debate. MCP versus CLI -> real debate.

Nice launch! It reminds me a lot RootCX (https://github.com/RootCX/RootCX)

Show HN: Self-hostable AI agents and internal software

Hi HN, building RootCX. An open-source self-hosted infrastructure for building internal software and AI agents.I've built this because the current ecosystem forces devs to choose your poison:- SaaS fragmentation: Vendor lock-in and endless API integrations.- Legacy ERPs: Millions spent on customization and years of waiting, completely detached from the ground reality of the business.- Visual UI...

toxic.
This is how you gift wrap the agentic era to the open source chinese LLMs. devs don't need the best model, they need one without lawyers attached.
Re:Sizing chaos on Thursday February 19, 2026 @04:40AM (#47071893)
the real insight here isn't that sizing is broken. Everyone knows that. It's that fixing it would require brands to admit their current customers don't match the label they've been selling them. "You're not a size 6, but size 10" is bad for business
Including 999 using Copilot.
No phd, no funding committee, no peer review anxiety. Just curoisity and paper. Sometimes the breakthrough comes from not knowing the problem was supposed to be difficult. This is what happens when you don't tell a kid something is too hard
Re:Four Column ASCII (2017) on Tuesday February 17, 2026 @08:07AM (#47047105)
This is why Ctrl+C is 0x03 and Ctrl+G is the bell. The columns aren't arbitrary. They're the control codes with bit 6 flipped. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. Best ASCII explainer I've read.
The moat here is local inference. Whisper.cpp + Metal gives you <500ms latency on M1 with the small model. no API costs + no privacy concerns. Ship that and you've got something the paid tools can't match. The UI is already solid, the edge is in going fully offline.
