Prodigy – AI Workforce for professional teamshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48965750Hello folks! I am Samay, founder of Prodigy. We're building an AI infrastructure that provides on-demand subagents who work like autonomous teammates alongside your team.How are we any different? 1. Our Prodigy brain indexes every bit of information from tools used by your company. This includes emails, documents, meetings, conversations, git work, CRM etc. The agents communicate with the brain instead of humans.2. The Prodigy orchestrator spins up agents with designated roles and goals. Each agent has a clear objective, evidence, verification tests and stopping condition.If you're interested about the product or want to chat in general, please reach out!

Ask HN: How do you as a normal swe use AI?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48965516So am looking for more normal people, experienced people using AI, but I feel like whenever I hit youtube or other platforms the AI culture is way deep in the trenches and don't feel like this is how the majority of people tackle work, especially at their jobs.What I see is mostly solo-devs going full battlestar gallactica on things. And I just want to see other people, normal people talk about and show how they use these new tools.I'm also more interested in the first principles of things and not necessarily the shiny new model or shiny new workflow or shiny new thing. More towards problem solving.So, if you have a bit of time to walk me through how you usually work in a day or point me to some good videos, resources on regular people doing it I'll be grateful!Jul 19, 2026 6:35 AM

Show HN: Turn a Suno song into a music video with beat-synced auto-editinghttps://aivideogenerator.so/I make songs with Suno, but turning them into videos used to take me days of editing, so I built a tool to automate the whole process.You just paste a Suno or FlowMusic link—or upload your own audio—and add a photo of the singer.The tool analyzes the song’s beat and structure, plans out the shots, generates the visuals, turns them into video clips, and lip-syncs the singing scenes. It then cuts everything into short 1–3 second shots that match the beat.Editing was definitely the hardest part. A 10-second AI-generated clip is rarely usable from start to finish, so the tool picks out the best moments, slices them up, and reuses them throughout the video.It currently takes a few minutes to make a video, the maximum resolution is 720p, and crowd scenes can still look a little strange.The free credits are enough to make one full video, and you don’t need a credit card. I’d really appreciate feedback on the editing—that’s the part I’m still least confident about.Jul 18, 2026 1:14 PM

I was tired of random feeds so I created my personal algorithmhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48956456Hey everyone,I don’t use social media much. I spend around 30 minutes a day on X and sometimes Reddit. I stopped using Instagram a few months ago because my feed had become repetitive, distracting, and full of content I never intentionally asked for. And I usually have a purpose of scrolling, but this is getting harder day by day because of so much brainrot content. Whereas my partner is very found of scrolling, and I have noticed heat in our relationship when she take relationship advice from instagram or watches a movie like metro in dino. For a long time, I had been saving useful articles, posts, videos, and tools through a browser extension I vibe coded. It automatically organized everything into interests and topics.Recently, I realixed that this saved history could represent my actual taste much better than likes, clicks, or watch time. So I asked claude to create a profile md file containing the subjects I care about, the type of content I find useful, and anything not mentionedJul 18, 2026 9:19 AM

Show HN: Loris Tunnel – an open-source desktop manager for SSH tunnelshttps://github.com/RangerWolf/loris-tunnel-appI made this app because 1) I am tired of low performance DBeaver's ssh tunnel 2) Meanwhile, there is no good App in Windows to solve this problem. 3) I don't like CLIso I made this desktop app with Go and Wails. Mac\Windows are both supported.Some features I think it should be helpful 1) With GUI 2) Auto-start after App started\App could auto start after os booted 3) Easy to create tunnels (ex. could import from SSH command) 4）Latency monitoring, if you have multiple jumpers, you could choose a better one by monitoring.I use this tool everyday, both in my Mac and Windows. I think it should be useful for some developers, so I share it here.Still in beta stage, I am still trying to make it better Free to create 3 tunnels, mail to me could get an invitation code to upgrade to pro Meanwhile, I also provide 10 pro codes below: REHN-47T5-WUBK-6406 REHN-59LQ-UO19-LJI8 REHN-6BHQ-158N-GX7K REHN-UFOZ-N8T1-ERA6 REHN-0QYH-CI0F-2SWO REHN-AYSY-20LI-5RA0 REHN-HFAY-JZ4T-UOHU REHN-7ZZV-DWPW-D6TK REHN-OJul 18, 2026 8:34 AM

Now AI agents start eating into that space, OpenAI's Workspace Agents, Lindy, Claude's agentic features, etc.i understand both have tradeoffs, but i'm trying to understand real-world usage:1. why workflow automarion over AI Agents? What does it still do better?2. if you've using AI agents, what made you switch? What do you trust them with?3. why not use either of them?feel free to give your opinion, im curiousJul 17, 2026 5:28 AM

Router ARP/NAT contradict after reload. Client ghost or firmware bug?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48942957I have a Keenetic Extra DSL router. I configured a static DHCP reservation so that my ESP32-W5500 device (MAC: de:ad:be:ef:fe:01) always receives 192.168.1.114. There's a MAC-based port forwarding rule for port 80, and a defined [subdomain].keenetic.pro points to this device as well.After a soft-restart, port forwarding silently breaks for WAN traffic. The rule appears active in the panel, but incoming connections from the outside just time out.This has recurred consistently across multiple soft-reload events over several months, with a different "ghost" IP each time (.100, .101, .102).From the local network, however, I can always reach the client on its assigned static IP (.114) without any interruption. And here's the kicker: if I simply disable and re-enable the port forwarding rule from the router's interface, the problem vanishes instantly and external WAN access comes right back.The weird part: during an outage, when I look at the router's own diagnostic tools, the ARP table and Jul 17, 2026 3:06 AM

Show HN: Ingestr CDC – open-source CDC replication in Gohttps://bruin-data.github.io/ingestr/getting-started/cdc.htmlHi all, this is Burak, one of the founders at Bruin. I created ingestr to make data ingestion easy.ingestr is a CLI tool that can ingest data from 130+ sources. I have shared it on HN after our Go rewrite as well, which made it the fastest ingestion tool in the space. However, ingestr had always been a batch tool. I am personally a big fan of batch workloads due to their simplicity and have built ingestr around that assumption as well; however, over time, the cracks started to show when we started working with larger orgs.Turns out there are some scenarios where CDC proves beneficial: - For legacy systems where it is not possible to introduce cursor columns due to technical, but mostly organizational, concerns, it becomes impractical to deploy batch pipelines. - For systems that do not have a way to reliably know the update timestamp, also due to legacy reasons. Think usecases where the columns are updated without the timestamp being updated. - For hard deletes.Even though I do believeJul 16, 2026 3:21 PM

Show HN: I've built tldraw for HTML and Markdown pages (with encryption)https://pastehex.dev/Hello, HN!This is a small app I've built to satisfy three pains/wishes I've had for a while and I think there might be people out there who can benefit from it as well.1. I want to pop up a new tab, start writing my thoughts and, maybe, share them over the internet. As fast as I can and with as little friction possible. tldraw totally does this for drawing stuff in a whiteboard but for text, Obsidian is a local tool that requires installing and Notion is too involved. I want a simple link that just works the moment you navigate to the page.2. Sometimes I wanted to share code or other text artifacts with customers over Discord, but the platform caps messages to a certain length before it forces you to submit a .txt. Pastebin kinda fills this gap but it's an old site and it doesn't handle BIG pastes very well also it doesn't double as your own document vault (plus I don't care about all their "public pastes" thing).3. This is a recent one. Now, due to AI tools, everyone is sharing MarkdoJul 16, 2026 2:26 PM

Show HN: An MCP server that frames screen recordings and shots in Apple bezelshttps://github.com/cwooddgr/bezelbub/tree/main/bezelbub-mcpCreating device-framed screenshots and screen recordings for my iOS, macOS, and tvOS apps is a pain so I looked for a tool, preferably with an MCP server that could do it for me. I couldn't find anything that did everything I wanted (images and videos, scaling, transparent backgrounds for both, etc) so I made one: Bezelbub.I started with a macOS app. Handy when putting together App Store listings, which was my first use case. Then I added support for video in/out. But I realized I wanted framed screenshots in more places than that (like social posts) so I made an iOS app that would allow me to just snap a screenshot on-device, share it to Bezelbub, choose my options, and share it directly from there. Neat.But I still found myself doing a lot of the work, which in the age of Claude Code is goofy. So I created a command-line version and a Homebrew tap. Works a treat.

Show HN: Pokayoke – turn repo conventions into deterministic checks for agentshttps://pokayoke.codesHey HN. Pokayoke is a tool I've been working on to scratch my own itch when it comes to solidifying arbitrary rules and conventions -- which modern linting and formatting toolchains might not support as well as I'd like -- into code-based checks that agents can manage, run, and update themselves.I'm currently using it as part of my `check` scripts in TS / bun repos for things like max-LoC limits on files and keeping docs references DRY and up to date. Agents can use Pokayoke to make their own TypeScript (either using the AST or any other method) files that would be too cumbersome to handroll as a human.Keen to know what other people are using for this!Jul 16, 2026 9:40 AM

Tools like WebVoyager or ServiceNow's baseline agents are amazing, but they are: 1. Slow: Taking 20 to 40 seconds per simple form-fill step. 2. Expensive: Calling GPT or Claude for every single click. 3. Brittle: Failing the second a minor DOM class name shifts. LHIC introduces a "Fast Path / Slow Path" dual-route execution architecture: - Fast Path (Local, 0 LLM call): For standard web flows (logins, forms, search), LHIC matches user intents directly with pre-defined skills and resolved DOM attributes locally. It runs in under 35ms (median) with zero API call costs. - Slow Path (LLM, Fallback): Only activates for complex, open-ended tasks or when a high-risk action is flagged.Key Technical Highlights: * Self-Healing Semantic Locators: We fuzzy-match DOM structural targets using SQLite historical skill memory, achieving an 80% success rate improvement over static CSS/XPath selJul 16, 2026 9:01 AM
