Ask HN: What BOYK AI client are you using?

I built an AI desktop client specifically designed for non-programmers, which has the capabilities of Codex/Claude Desktop, but it is localized, protects all your privacy, and supports any model call.Would you like to try using it? Any questions, feel free to ask me!

Show HN: 3 months cloning Typefully with Claude Code – here's what I learned

I wanted to build an army of AI agents that create valuable content with taste. But I had zero experience building this kind of product.So I chose to learn by cloning Typefully – a Twitter scheduling tool I actually use and love. Built entirely with Claude Code over 3 months.-----What I learned: Vibe coding hits a wall with performance problems. The details Typefully polished? That's where the...

Ask HN: What difficulties have you encountered when obtaining AI information?

I see tons of AI news every day. Either this model got updated, or that product just launched.But what I really need is depth.Take Claude Skills, for example. You'll see it mentioned countless times on Twitter, but what I actually care about is the best practices around Skills, public insights from Anthropic team members, or discussions on Reddit where people share their real experiences using...

Hi there, I am a growth hacker.Recently, I have been using AI to build projects, and I found that AI is very useful in the process of creating SEO tools. It can basically complete a project in one day and can also be converted into a browser plugin.This is a small project I use for growth, and I hope you like it.

I Built and Shipped Dognames.vip in 24 Hours with ClaudeCode

Hi everyone,I'm a product manager. And as a non-coding PM, the idea of building an app from scratch by myself used to be a distant dream. But by collaborating with ClaudeCode, I was able to build and launch Dognames in a single day.(A quick note: My native language is Chinese, so this article was translated with the help of AI. Please excuse any awkward phrasing!)Here's a breakdown of my...

Exactly! My goal is to find names that truly reflect your personality, and maybe even your dog's.
Thanks so much for the feedback! And the "Sequel" pun for your second cat is absolutely brilliant,I totally get it! You've given me a great new goal: I'll definitely work on making the name suggestions more creative and fun. Thanks again for trying it out!
Affirmative, so I am building it.

Humans operate using a combination of fast and slow thinking. AI,does not

Humans operate using a combination of fast and slow thinking. AI, by default, does not.This presents a huge opportunity for asynchronous Agents.When an Agent is handling a real-time task, like a phone call, it needs to respond quickly while also maintaining accuracy. This is a classic scenario that demands both fast and slow thinking.My approach is to have a 'Strategist' behind the 'Executor.'...

yes,n8n make it easier to build !
Wise one!
Perhaps it is because they can use more tools. After all, this is the biggest difference between humans and apes.
Is it better than cursor?

I built an AI Agent to handle all the annoying tasks.Here's what I learned

Time. It's arguably our most valuable resource, right? And nothing gets under my skin more than feeling like I'm wasting it on pointless, soul-crushing administrative junk. That's exactly why I'm obsessed with automation.I set out to build an AI agent specifically to handle this annoying, time-consuming crap for me. I decided to call him Pine (named after my street). The setup was simple: one...

Some Recent Thoughts on AI Agents

1、Two Core Principles of Agent DesignFirst, design agents by analogy to humans. Let agents handle tasks the way humans would.Second, if something can be accomplished through dialogue, avoid requiring users to operate interfaces. If intent can be recognized, don’t ask again. The agent should absorb entropy, not the user.2、Agents Will Coexist in Multiple FormsShould agents operate freely with...

We use this method to help users solve problems, and there are many successful cases.

much appreciated!

Ask HN: The agent lied to you, how will you handle it?

I was looking through the logs today, and saw this user asked our Agent to update their credit card phone number. Thing is, they'd already tried before, but the ID check failed, so customer service told them they had to handle it in person.Anyway, our Agent asked the user for more ID info, and should have called customer service again to give it another shot. But nope! It kinda just......

Show HN: Let Agent handle your bookings, cancellations, and negotiations

https://www.19pine.ai/

Introducing PineAI, your personal assistant designed to tackle life's problems for you.For instance, you can have it call your telecom's customer service hotline to negotiate a lower bill, or ask it to cancel unwanted subscriptions. Need local restaurant recommendations, descriptions of their specialties, and a table booked? PineAI can handle that too.Essentially, you can delegate any task...

I strongly agree with your point. Perhaps mentioning that I'm already using AI is what lessened the discussion from others. I am indeed focusing on those exact tasks: the ones that could save money but are hard to put effort into because time is so valuable.
Compared to AI's ideas, I am more concerned with real human feedback.
You're absolutely right.

I actually built an AI Agent where I provide it with my bills and personal information.

It automatically makes the phone calls to negotiate with customer service reps on my behalf, helping me lower my fees or cancel subscriptions.

It has saved me a significant amount of time.

sounds great! It's totally worth making an AI agent.
