Show HN: Feudle – a daily puzzle game built with AI 16 by papaolivia92 | 7 comments I’m a game show nerd who wanted to build a game, despite not being a developer. Using ChatGPT, I created Feudle – a blend of Family Feud and Wordle. Each day, there’s a survey question, and players try to guess the most popular responses—but the twist is that today’s answers come from real players who played yesterday. After playing, you can vote on or submit new questions, shaping future Feudles. If I were to start again, I’d explore newer AI-assisted coding tools like Cursor, but overall, this was a great learning experience. Hopefully, this inspires others to experiment with AI tools to bring their ideas to life. Any feedback? Any tips for AI tools I should explore when iterating on the game? on Hacker News.

Show HN: AgentKit – JavaScript Alternative to OpenAI Agents SDK with Native MCP 46 by tonyhb | 10 comments Hi HN! I’m Tony, co-founder of Inngest. I wanted to share AgentKit, our Typescript multi-agent library we’ve been cooking and testing with some early users in prod for months. Although OpenAI’s Agents SDK has been launched since, we think an Agent framework should offer more deterministic and flexible routing, work with multiple model providers, embrace MCP (for rich tooling), and support the unstoppable and growing community of TypeScript AI developers by enabling a smooth transition to production use cases. This is why we are building AgentKit, and we’re really excited about it for a few reasons: Firstly, it’s simple. We embrace KISS principles brought by Anthropic and HuggingFace by allowing you to gradually add autonomy to your AgentKit program using primitives: - Agents: LLM calls that can be combined with prompts, tools, and MCP native support. - Networks: a simple way to g...

Show HN: OCR Benchmark Focusing on Automation 7 by prats226 | 0 comments OCR/Document extraction field has seen lot of action recently with releases like Mixtral OCR, Andrew Ng's agentic document processing etc. Also there are several benchmarks for OCR, however all testing for something slightly different which make good comparison of models very hard. To give an example, some models like mixtral-ocr only try to convert a document to markdown format. You have to use another LLM on top of it to get the final result. Some VLM’s directly give structured information like key fields from documents like invoices, but you have to either add business rules on top of it or use some LLM as a judge kind of system to get sense of which output needs to be manually reviewed or can be taken as correct output. No benchmark attempts to measure the actual rate of automation you can achieve. We have tried to solve this problem with a benchmark that is only applicable for documents/usecases where yo...

Show HN: We built a Plug-in Home Battery for the 99.7% of us without Powerwalls 33 by coleashman | 40 comments Hi HN! I’m Cole Ashman, founder of Pila Energy. I’ve spent my career working on home energy systems—first as an engineer on Tesla’s Powerwall, where I focused on the Backup Gateway, Solar Inverter, and metering systems. More recently, I led Product at SPAN, where we built the Smart Electrical Panel and integrated with most major home solar, EV, and battery systems. Pila ( https://pila.energy/ ) is a home battery that plugs into a standard wall outlet, provides smart backup power, energy shifting, and grid services. It’s more than a power bank—it’s a distributed energy system that can scale across multiple rooms, entire buildings, and work together in real time as a coordinated system. We built Pila to be local first with an open API to allow developers to build use cases on top of our hardware (Home Assistant, etc). Big batteries like Tesla Powerwall and Enphase are great if ...

Show HN: Open-source Deep Research across workplace applications 15 by yuhongsun | 2 comments I’ve been using deep research on OpenAI and Perplexity and it’s been just amazing at gathering data across a lot of related and chained searches. Just earlier today, I asked “What are some marquee tech companies / hot startups (not including the giants like FAAMG, Samsung, Nvidia etc.)”. It’s a pretty involved question and looking up “marquee tech startups” or "hot tech startups" on Google gave me nothing useful. Deep research on both ChatGPT and Perplexity gave really high quality responses with ChatGPT siding on slightly larger scaleups and Perplexity siding more on up and coming companies. Given how useful AI research agents are across the internet, we decided to build an open-source equivalent for the workplace since a ton of questions at work also cannot be easily resolved with a single search. Onyx supports deep research connected to company applications like Google Drive, Sal...
