Show HN: CoolWulf AI – A personal AI assistant built in Go, optimized for macOShttp://coolwulfAI.comHey HN,I've been building CoolWulf AI (https://coolwulfai.com), a self-hosted personal AI assistant. After seeing OpenClaw blow up, I wanted to share what I've been working on — a different approach to the same problem.*Why I built this:*I tried OpenClaw and found the Node.js/TypeScript stack heavy for what's essentially a local agent. pnpm, Node 22+, React — lots of moving parts. I wanted something that's a single binary, zero runtime dependencies, and feels native on macOS. So I built it in Go.*How it's different from OpenClaw:*- *Single binary, no runtime needed.* Download, set your API key, run. No Node.js, no pnpm, no build step. One ~100 MB binary. - *Built in Go.* Fast startup, low memory footprint, compiles to a native executable. No garbage collector pauses from a JS runtime sitting in the background. - *macOS-native integrations.* Deep AppleScript-based control of Apple Notes, Reminders, Calendar, Terminal.app, and WeChat desktop. These aren't browser hacks — they use the natFeb 17, 2026 5:32 AM

Show HN: Mindweave – AI-powered personal knowledge hub with semantic searchhttps://www.mindweave.space/Hi HN,I built Mindweave to solve a problem I kept running into — I'd save bookmarks, notes, and links across different apps, then never find them again when I actually needed them.Mindweave lets you capture notes, links, and files in one place. The interesting part is what happens after: - Semantic search — find content by meaning, not just keywords. "That article about improving deep work" finds it even if those words don't appear in the content. Powered by pgvector cosine similarity on Gemini embeddings. - AI auto-tagging — Gemini generates tags on save, so you don't have to organize anything manually. - Knowledge Q&A — ask questions about your saved content using RAG. Retrieves relevant pieces, feeds them as context to Gemini, returns a grounded answer. Stack: Next.js 15 (App Router, Server Actions), PostgreSQL 16 + pgvector, Google Gemini (text-embedding-004, 768d), Drizzle ORM, Auth.js v5, Tailwind/shadcn. Deployed on Cloud Run. A few things I found interesting while building thisFeb 16, 2026 5:20 AM

Show HN: Small "AI slop" classifier running in a browser extensionhttps://github.com/distil-labs/distil-ai-slop-detectorWe used our distillation platform & a Kaggle dataset to produce a tiny (270M Gemma base) model to classify text into "AI slop"/not classes.It's fun to play with and was fun to build, too.Annoyingly formal, human-written text (e.g. an ML paper I wrote back in 2015) tends to get misclassified (try "Manipulated images lose believability if the user's edits fail to account for shadows. We propose a method that makes removal and editing of soft shadows easy. Soft shadows are ubiquitous, but remain notoriously difficult to extract and manipulate. We posit that soft shadows can be segmented, and therefore edited, by learning a mapping function for image patches that generates shadow mattes. We validate this premise by removing soft shadows from photographs with only a small amount of user input").Feb 4, 2026 4:57 PM

Show HN: OpenSymbolicAI – Agents with typed variables, not just context stuffinghttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46876687Hi HN,We've spent the last year building AI agents and kept hitting the same wall: prompt engineering doesn't feel like software engineering. It feels like guessing.We built OpenSymbolicAI to turn agent development into actual programming. It is an open-source framework (MIT) that lets you build agents using typed primitives, explicit decompositions, and unit tests.THE MAIN PROBLEM: CONTEXT WINDOW ABUSEMost agent frameworks (like ReAct) force you to dump tool outputs back into the LLM's context window to decide the next step.Agent searches DB.Agent gets back 50kb of JSON.You paste that 50kb back into the prompt just to ask "What do I do next?"This is slow, expensive, and confuses the model.THE SOLUTION: DATA AS VARIABLESIn OpenSymbolicAI, the LLM generates a plan (code) that manipulates variables. The actual heavy data (search results, PDF contents, API payloads) is stored in the Python/runtime variables and is never passed through the LLM context until a specific primitive actually neFeb 3, 2026 8:19 PM

The answer lies not in propulsion equations or landing dynamics, but in the realm where space programs have always competed most fiercely-perception, prestige, and the stories nations tell about themselves.Feb 3, 2026 4:52 AM

Show HN: I turned my PDFs into audiobooks I can have conversations withhttps://asktotle.comHey HN,TLDR: Upload any document, get an audiobook with synced highlighting you can pause and talk to.I'm a self-taught dev (admittedly mediocre), currently between jobs and my brain is absolutely fried from social media. I can't read anymore. My eyes glaze over after two paragraphs.So I went down a rabbit hole looking for scientifically proven ways to actually focus while reading:- Encoding info visually AND aurally reduces mind wandering by up to 40% - Retrieval practice (asking questions) beats passive re-reading every time - Background music matched to content keeps you in flowCouldn't find anything that did all this. So I built it myself:- Synced text highlighting while you listen - Talk with your book; pause and ask "wait what does that mean?" and it knows exactly where you are (won't spoil what's ahead) - Adaptive background music that matches the mood of each pageI've removed all slop. No flashy features, no gamification etc. etc. Just reading on steroids for fried brains, likeFeb 2, 2026 11:49 AM

Show HN: Self-hosted RAG with MCP support for OpenClawhttps://github.com/2dogsandanerd/ClawRagI've been using OpenClaw to control my home server via WhatsApp, but it couldn't access my documents. Instead of uploading my private contracts to OpenAI, I built ClawRAG – a self-hosted RAG engine that connects to OpenClaw via MCP (Model Context Protocol). Now I can ask "What did the contract say about liability?" and get cited answers, not hallucinations.Most RAG systems are either too complex for a solo dev's home setup or they rely on cloud-hosted vector stores. I needed something that runs in a single Docker container, understands messy PDFs (tables!), and integrates natively as a "tool" for agents rather than just another REST endpoint.## Technical Deep Dive### Why MCP instead of REST? I chose the Model Context Protocol (MCP) because it provides structured schemas that LLMs understand natively. The MCP server exposes `query_knowledge` as a tool, allowing the agent to decide exactly when to pull from the knowledge base vs. when to use its built-in memory. It prevents "tool-drift" Feb 1, 2026 4:45 PM
