Show HN: Pickle – token efficient AI agent browser with policy-gated actionshttps://picklebrowser.com/I use agents for a lot of my own work, but whenever they access my browser they end up wasting a lot of tokens reading HTML, so I tried building a browser that simplifies webpage content for them.Pickle is an agent browser and it has all the features a regular browser has (tabs, search history, bookmarks, etc.), but pages load as compact structured data instead of raw HTML to reduce token usage.Overview for those curious:It's policy-gated (blocked domains, actions that need approval like purchases) and every action is logged, so you're always able to see what your agent is doing and can take over at any time.It's also compatible with weaker/local models as it auto-routes by model strength. i.e. small local models are limited to picking actions one step at a time so they don't hallucinate actions or make up element IDs. Stronger models can plan multiple steps ahead.On the token compression side, I've been seeing around 32x less token usage.Other useful features: - shared notebook that yAug 11, 2026 3:43 PM

Launch HN: Keet (YC S24) – An app to create video courses on anythinghttps://www.trykeet.com/Hi HN! We’re Zack and Tommy the Co-Founders of Keet (https://trykeet.com). We are building a mobile app that generates courses on any topic, with short videos for explanation and games for reinforcement. Courses mirror a real curriculum to help you learn over an extended period of time.Tommy and I met in linear algebra class in college and spent the next 4 years taking classes together. Our friendship was formed around learning new things. In school, someone else designs the curriculum, delivers the content, and writes the assessments. All you have to do is show up. Learning without this structure was frustrating, and there was a lot of friction to get started.Zack has a coffee obsession and struggled to assemble youtube videos, conversations with ChatGPT, and the books he was reading into a coherent understanding of all of the different variables that go into brewing a cup of coffee. His attempts gave him the freedom to follow his curiosity, but the instructional design was difficult.Aug 11, 2026 2:48 PM

Dust and water spotted close to giant black holehttps://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Webb/Dust_and_water_spotted_close_to_giant_black_holeUsing the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, an international team of astronomers have discovered that dust and water can form and survive surprisingly close to the supermassive black hole at the centre of our Milky Way galaxy. The observations reveal that the evolved star IRS 3 continues to enrich its surroundings with newly formed material despite the intense radiation environment around Sagittarius A*.Aug 11, 2026 8:00 AM

Show HN: Keen Code – an agentic-engineered coding agenthttps://github.com/mochow13/keen-codeHello community!I am here to share a coding agent I have built solo from scratch using agentic engineering. Written in Go, it's a proper coding agent, has features you expect from a useful agent for your daily work, with a minimal and simple UI.I have named it Keen Code. The repo is here: https://github.com/mochow13/keen-codeEven though it started as an experiment, it is now a full-fledged coding agent for real software engineering work. It supports multiple providers, skills, MCPs, multi-agent orchestration through subagents, automatic compaction, etc.I have been using it for real production-grade work myself, and also for developing itself.Notably, I have worked on two separate ideas in this coding agent:1. Turn MemoryIn a multi-turn conversation, tool outputs are removed, only tool call traces are retained. Within a single agent loop, agent sees full tool results but in the next turn, it doesn't see the tool results anymore.The greatest benefit of this approach is that a lot of toolAug 10, 2026 9:47 PM
