I've always found it odd there was no deterministic QA tools with zero baseline needed, especially after so long. It's always been either (1) playwright or cypress that require written tests, dependant on the tests YOU write, or (2), asking the LLM to find and test bugs in your code, which has 2 cons, its costly (sometimes), and its non-deterministic. That's why i built assay. Its only dependencies is playwright & chromium, and you point it at any folder with a webpage and it runs tests on its own by driving the webpage itself in a browser and clicking every control. It then flags anywhere th…

Hey HN! We're Dudu and Topaz from Vespper ( https://vespper.com ). Vespper is an MCP that lets AI agents edit Word documents, powered by our fine-tuned model. It's currently 3× faster, 2× cheaper and more accurate than the closest alternative. Check out an overview of how the product works here: https://youtu.be/odKxsgPjzzw We came to work on this problem after spending a year building an AI document editor for pharma companies that helped generate regulatory documents. Before that, Topaz was a senior SWE at Snyk, working on distributed systems, and I (Dudu) was a deep learning engineer at…
A year ago, I came across Google Notebook LM. I was completely blown away at the time: it wasn't just a ChatGPT-style conversation, but rather introduced an "input—conversation—output" model, turning itself into a workspace for content creators. However, to use it smoothly required a Google subscription, and I really didn't have spare money in my wallet to subscribe, so I could only consider finding some self-hosted alternatives. I saw many open-source versions of Notebook LM on GitHub, the most famous being lfnovo/open-notebook, but it requires Docker deployment. To be honest, I hate tha…

Hi HN, I've been a heavy user of coding agents for over a year now, and while excited by the productivity gains - I've increasingly been frustrated at the process around it. - Prompts are imperative and ephemeral, and code is increasingly a black-box, so I lose track of intent over long horizons. - Pull requests, CI/CD, and even GitHub have become process bottlenecks and are increasingly losing meaning in a world of code abundance. - I'm tired of babysitting coding agents, cleaning up slop, and reviewing AI output! I've been building Telos to solve some of these problems - it's a new, declara…

Hi everyone! After working on memory at OpenAI, I built FastRecall to solve one problem: using different AI models results in clunky ad-hoc context management systems or lost context entirely. With the model layer becoming commoditized, your context should travel seamlessly across models whether you are using OpenRouter or some other model aggregator. FastRecall offers a simple API that stores your context cheaply and efficiently. In fact, we are so cheap that recalls are entirely free, with generous plans starting at only $2/month! If you use the same model again, FastRecall respects provide…

Hi HN, I’m Per, founder of Scrimba (YC S20). We’ve spent the last decade teaching people how to code with an HTML-based video format. We’ve now plugged an LLM into it, so that people can create explainer videos about anything. It’s called “Scrimba Explain”. To demo this technology for Hacker News, we built HN.watch. It’s like HN, but with videos instead of articles. We create them on-the-fly the very first time someone clicks on a link. While there are obvious visual drawbacks of using HTML instead of diffusion models, there are three big benefits: - Speed: Much faster to genera…
