Show HN: Caspian – Talk to Human Tool for AI Agentshttps://github.com/TryCaspian/caspian-sdkSup HN! Dipanshu and Rushant here from Caspian. One is a functional programmer and the other has been deploying AI employees. Together we realized how agents have communication bottleneck.Given the coming agentic economy, we had a thought experiment on what can be the key infrastructure for agents as they get better. Our inspiration for solving for communications infra came from our own time spent just setting up comms while we were deploying open claw for companies plus we noticed about 15%+ of issues in Openclaw and Hermes were that of comms.So we abstracted the headache of reliable communication web-hooks, handling of queues, provision and identity management behind an single SDK integration / tool call. Think of it like rather than rolling your own auth, you can use better auth sdk, same thesis here.Technically, we designed the SDK from the ground up as a DSL for communications (heavy inspiration from functional programming) and then add on our own run time environment which auto pAug 21, 2026 4:17 PM

Show HN: Open-source tool turning company knowledge into Duolingo-like courseshttps://www.scibly.com/de/My buddy and I have been working on a side project for the past few months called Scibly.The idea is pretty simple:Companies already have an incredible amount of knowledge sitting in PDFs, documentation, internal wikis, etc. The problem is turning all of that information into something employees can actually learn from and retain.For this reason we decided to build Scibly, a tool that automatically turns boring company knowledge into interactive, Duolingo-like (but better) learning experiences.Today, we decided to open-source the whole thing.We're still pretty inexperienced when it comes to open source, so we'd genuinely love to hear your feedback, whether that's about the product, the idea, the codebase, or how we're approaching the project.Short product demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcpLUNBRhQwGithub: https://github.com/scibly-dev/sciblyWould love to hear what you guys think!Aug 20, 2026 1:11 PM
