Building a real-time AI tutor for 5-year-oldsHey HN! We've spent the good part of this past year building an AI tutor that teaches kids ages 4-9 reading, math, ESL and more. Getting an AI tutor to effectively teach a child turns out to be a really hard technical challenge, this took getting the underlying architecture right.Our tutor steers the UX in real-time and makes complex decisions on the fly. Doing both at conversation speed required us to replace the standard tool-use loop. We built our own tutor harness that utilizes a streaming interpreter that executes actions, while an asynchronous planner model reasons ahead of the conversation and makes calls that drive the child's learning. On top of it all, we developed a safety system that checks every turn without it causing an interruption to the activity and conversation flow.Effective teaching isn't just about answering a child's question quickly, rather making the right move at the right moment. AI is also going to be an integral part shaping how this generation of kids lear

Show HN: New Search MCP Using Cloudflare AI SearchHello,So I got sick of my agents not having ready access to information they needed about projects that I'm working on ready and at hand so I built a new AGPL-3.0 (free forever) MCP that utilizes Cloudflare AI Search to index your repos and anything else you want to feed into it. It also includes a nice little web widget that allows end users to search your repos for documentation, etc., and allows end users to ask an AI Chat Bot questions regarding your projects. If you want to see the widget, I enabled it on another project I'm working on here: https://vivijure.com.I hope people will find this new piece of software useful, it's been very useful for me so far and I'm sure there's at least one other person out there who could use it :).Thanks, -Skyphusion

Ask HN: What does it take to dodge the cloud?I am not a infrastructure person and had a talk with some senior software developers about what it takes to be a senior in their view.One of these opinions included how to work with "the cloud" quickly, reasoning it made the engineer capable of reading API docs.I am extremely opposed to this idea, as much so that I thought I'll never strive for becoming a senior if that entails knowing how to use things like AWS. To keep it simple, I will never use a product that utilizes a "pay as you go" pricing model making my bills unpredictable.I know that using things like AWS simplifies the deployment part a lot. But I also know that cloud performance is not as good as people think.Point is, I am trying to grow as an engineer but not by throwing money at a bunch of companies and call it a day.To dodge the cloud, I'd need physical infrastructure. How far can I get with this? Especially on the lower end of budgets? Ill never run a global scale application. I'd be surprised if any of my apps would
