Show HN: Figment – An AI that I made my friends talk to for 2 weekshttps://figment.computer/For the past 3 weeks, I've been hacking on a personal AI that you can text.It's curious about you & proactively figures out ways to help you, while still feeling like a friend.Its personality & proactivity is probably what I've spent the most time working on for this project, testing out a bunch of different models and prompts etc. It has more work to be done for sure, but I kinda like how it's come to be so far!It has its own 24/7 computer and browser (still working on improving its use of them!), with its own curiosities & proactivity.For ex, it might decide to surf the web on its own every once in a while, and if it comes across anything that it feels might be interesting to you, it'll text you it.In the past 2 weeks of my friends using it, I've noticed this particular personal ai setup/harness produce a ton of emergent magical moments that I thought were pretty cool.For ex, my roommate @aadilpickle signed up 2 weeks ago, told it about sfpursuit.org and his sfalexandria.com project Jul 9, 2026 3:31 AM

Show HN: envapt, typed env config for decoupled TS codebases (Node to edge)https://github.com/materwelonDhruv/envaptHi HN. I'm Dhruv and I've been working on envapt for about a year now and I've FINALLY completed the roadmap I scope creeped and QA'd over the past few months. It reads environment config in TypeScript and returns the typed value instead of string | undefined, from whatever source you bind. It runs on Node, Bun, Deno, Cloudflare Workers, the browser, and well, anywhere.Most typed-env libraries have you declare every variable in one central schema and read the result from one object. That works well for a single application. Mostly. That didn't work for me because in a framework or a monorepo, decoupled packages each read their own config values, and sharing one config object across every package just doesn't make sense to me, plus some other nits.envapt does the opposite. You bind a source once at startup, and on Node/Deno/Bun it binds your .env files and process.env for you, with cascading profiles per environment. After that, ANY typed read in ANY file uses that source, and each valuJul 8, 2026 4:14 PM

Show HN: Cruxible – Open-source governed truth layer for AI agentshttps://github.com/cruxible-ai/cruxibleMemory as text for LLMs works well enough when the truth can be plainly stated and doesn't change, but I kept running into the same problem with LLM wikis, markdown, vector stores - I just didn't trust them, and I didn't trust my agent to properly state its evidence for a claim, its reason for changing something, or rebuild its semantic connections the same way between sessions from a text corpus. I found myself constantly asking my agents to re-verify what was already in my wikis, so what was really the point of the wiki in the first place?I built Cruxible to fix that. It's a governed state layer that human/agent teams operate and iterate on together: you model what's true for your domain in an explicit, typed ontology, and the runtime enforces how state may change. It's designed to be unobtrusive: the state compounds as the exhaust of normal agent work, not as an ontology someone has to manually comb through.Repo is here: https://github.com/cruxible-ai/cruxible- All state that can beJul 8, 2026 3:39 PM

Show HN: Whentofly – flexible-date flight search that says if the price is goodhttps://whentofly.ioHi there! My name is Dima, that's my first post here. Originally I'm an iOS Engineer for 6+ years but now I'm diving deep into AI, product building and everything around it.Here I want to present my first product which I built for two months - as usual for tech background guy I was trying to make it perfect but then decided to start distributing it along future improvements, anywayI got an idea when were discussing another travel idea with my personal agent - it can suggest where to fly, what are places to visit and etc but can't find the best windows to fly there, and nobody can - every time you need to open Google Flights, Kayak and search each date, then watch it and try to figure out is it a good price or not, should you wait 2 days or buy it right now? And each website provides different rates... Using API even not freeSo I build this one. Under the hood we put fares from different sources, aggregators, cross-checked against live market prices.

Show HN: FactIQ – a realtime econ+finance database for AI agentshttps://github.com/defog-ai/factiq-pluginHey HN, we built an Econ+Finance database to let AI agents do investment research. We spend a lot of tokens to organize macro releases and SEC filings into a clean format, so that your agents have more context to do actual analysis.The problemAI agents are great at data analysis. But they become ineffective if most of their context window is spent on gathering and cleaning data, instead of validating hypotheses.Data in the wild is messy and rarely standardized. Definitions and measurements change over time. This problem is compounded by a fragmented data universe. Point solutions exist for getting just market data, just macro data, or just trade data. But unless you pay $30k/person/year for a Bloomberg terminal - you’re not getting that data inside your AI agent.How we're fixing thisWe source, clean, and standardize data from SEC filings, official economic series and macro-economic releases. We structure the data so it’s stupidly obvious to query for any agent. All data is stored in juJul 8, 2026 1:39 AM

Models took live notes, suggested replies, and recommended actions while support reps were on calls or handling emails. One lesson stuck with us: it's not enough for the AI to be right, the help has to show up where the work is happening.So we added what we came to call “work surfaces”: dedicated areas for email, meetings, notes, browser, and parallel coding, where the assistant can help inside the workflow itself rather than only through chat:- Email client: Rowboat has a simple emaiJul 7, 2026 4:10 PM
