Show HN: Skyvern – Browser automation using LLMs and computer visionhttps://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvernHey HN, we're building Skyvern (https://www.skyvern.com), an open-source tool that uses LLMs and computer vision to help companies automate browser-based workflows. You can see some examples here: https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern#real-world-examples-of... and there's a demo video at https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern#demo, along with some instructions on running it locally.We provide a natural-language API to automate repetitive manual workflows that happen within the companies' backoffices. You can check out our code and play with Skyvern here: https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/SkyvernWe talked to hundreds of companies about things they do in the background and found that most of them depend on repetitive manual workflows. The breadth of these workflows surprised us – most companies started off doing things manually, and eventually either hired people to scale the manual work, or wrote scripts using Selenium-like browser automation libraries.In these conversations, one common poinMar 14, 2024 4:31 PM

Show HN: Charmed AI- end to end tools for 3D video game arthttps://charmed.ai/blog/announcing-charmed-1_0Hi HN, I'm Jeremy, the founder of Charmed AI (https://charmed.ai). We're building tools to make it way easier to build 3D content for video games.In our 1.0 release, we're providing all of the tools needed to go from idea to game integration for an animated 3D game asset (walkthrough: https://youtu.be/ZjkFfGUJxCM). We offer apps for creating new 3D models, re-painting the surface of those models, and animating them. It's all organized around a cloud asset manager for team collaboration.Something that makes us a little different than other 3D AI tools is that we're focused on the full 3D art production process. In the future, I don't anticipate magic command lines that summon forth content from sparse description. Instead, we're building toward a future where small teams of experts move much faster in an iterative process of creative discovery. For 3D art that means breaking down the barriers that have caused it to be a serial, waterfall process with long schedules, huge budgets, and maMar 8, 2024 7:45 PM

I'm aiming at exercises small and completable, like small projects.

Show HN: Readingclub.ai – Enable Creative Writing at Any Literacy Levelhttps://www.readingclub.aiToday's the official launch of readingclub.aiDuring the pandemic, my co-founder Alexis Diamond sought ways to engage his then 7-year-old son, a reluctant reader, in co-reading activities. This led to the development of a highly interactive and personalizable mobile app, laying the groundwork for what would eventually become readingclub.ai. Today, readingclub.ai not only allows for creation and sharing of stories, but will soon enable users to sell their illustrated children's books, opening up new avenues for aspiring authors and illustrators of all ages, languages, and capabilities. Why readingclub.ai? Because we think this is going to help people and be very successful.Since January 1st, I've been all-in on readingclub.ai – our launch today is the result of 2+ months of solid work every single day.In the end, however, the market is ruthless.

Launch HN: Just words (YC W24) – Optimize your product's copy for user growthhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39591972Hey, HN! We’re Neha and Kunal, co-founders of Just Words (https://justwords.ai). We help companies gain users through product copy optimization across any app surface or webpage, using inferences from past performance data. Here’s a demo video: https://youtu.be/e6PuRzHad7M, and a live playground: https://justwords.ai/live-demo.“Copy” in this context means short-form content such as landing page titles or email subject lines. Small and seemingly insignificant changes to these can lead to massive growth gains. We observed this on many occasions while working at Twitter. Tweaking a push notification copy from “Jack tweeted” to “Jack just Tweeted” brought 800K additional users to Twitter.However, coming up with the copy, testing it, and optimizing different variants across users would take us forever—sometimes months. There was no methodical way to optimize copy on the fly and use what we learned for subsequent iterations. The entire process was managed ad hoc in docs and spreadsheets.AfteMar 4, 2024 4:03 PM
