Launch HN: BitBoard (YC P25) – AI agents for healthcare back-officeshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44237769Hi HN! We’re Connor and Ambar, and we’re working on BitBoard (https://bitboard.work). We build AI agents that handle repetitive administrative tasks in healthcare clinics like filling out intake forms, prepping charts, or managing referrals.We were early employees at Forward, which provided primary care across the US. To scale this, we relied on thousands of remote contractors to do repetitive administrative work like reconciling patient records, and scheduling follow-ups based on care plans. It was a huge bottleneck—expensive, error-prone, and always pulling attention away from clinical care. Our software solutions were always too brittle, never managing to handle the variance of clinical data we oversaw.AI, when applied well, is capable of performing a lot of the tasks we manually did. So we decided to take another crack at the problem by building today what we would have liked to have back then, and to help clinics use it.Clinics send us their SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures—forJun 10, 2025 3:09 PM

Show HN: OwnPlan – AI todo app that breaks down big goals into stepshttps://apps.apple.com/fr/app/ownplan/id6745399897?l=en-GBHi Everyone, I’m a solo dev who often got stuck on big, vague goals (“launch a project”, “write a thesis”). Most todo apps just gave me a checklist, but never helped me figure out how to start. So I built OwnPlan: - Enter any big goal - AI instantly breaks it down into actionable steps - Organize with lists, Today view, weekly reports - Minimalist UI, no clutter Built with Flutter, multi-model AI backend with intelligence select algrithom base on the task u enter(Gemini, DeepSeek, OpenAI), and local storage (Hive). No ads, no tracking. Would love feedback from anyone who’s struggled with starting big projects or wants smarter todo tools!Jun 2, 2025 8:45 PM

When a Giant Sells You a Ghosthttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44050279In today’s tech-driven economy, high-performance computing systems are the beating heart of innovation — from life sciences to automotive AI. Yet behind the polished marketing campaigns of some major global suppliers, there lies a darker and more troubling reality.A small British innovation company recently found itself in an impossible position.They had entered into what appeared to be a promising deal with the UK subsidiary of a large US-based enterprise technology manufacturer — a household name. The agreement involved financing the acquisition of a specialised high-performance server, sold as new, state-of-the-art, and mission-ready.What they received was a system that, within days of installation, failed to operate as advertised. Investigations revealed indications that the equipment had been previously used, and internal communications suggested that even the supplier’s own staff were aware of problems.But here’s the true outrage: the financing contract — designed by the supplierMay 21, 2025 11:22 AM

It allows you to ask one question to multiple LLM web interfaces at once and see all the returned answers in one place. As a very big user of AI tools in my daily life, I hated having to click through multiple tabs in my browser, and slowly copy paste a single query into multiple LLM web interfaces.
