Show HN: Persist OS – Durable decisions for AI code

In the past few months, I’ve been building and shipping things extremely fast. Some of the MVPs that I built for my friends were completely vibe-coded and shipped within a day to show a demo. While it was a great experience working with AI tools, I wanted to make sure some basics were followed, decisions of what and why written down, obvious things not skipped and that it could scale. That’s why I built persist-os. It’s a CLI that runs locally. No network required. It records the architecture de...

Agent Profiles Make AI Runs Safer, More Focused and Reusable

I’ve been building Agent Profiles in Row-Bot around a simple idea: A personal AI agent should not run every task with the same tools, context, skills, workspace access, and approval rules. Research, review, development, automation, and delegation all need different runtime boundaries. Here is the architecture.

AutoFlow Research Initiative — Looking for Deep Technical Thinkers

AutoFlow Research Initiative — Looking for Deep Technical Thinkers Over the last several months, I've been exploring a question that sits at the intersection of AI, verification, trust, and decision systems: Can we build systems that independently verify claims produced by AI rather than simply generating answers? The original idea began with financial analysis. Consider a statement such as: "Company revenue grew 25% year-over-year." Today, most AI systems generate this cla...

Is AI app development becoming easier or just more crowded?

I've noticed that AI app development seems more accessible than ever. Between open-source models, APIs, and no-code tools, it feels like almost anyone can launch an AI-powered product today. At the same time, the competition is intense. Every week there's a new AI assistant, chatbot, or productivity tool entering the market. It makes me wonder whether the challenge has shifted from building the technology to actually creating something people want to use. A friend of mine works at a startup ...

Show HN: AI Agents the Unix Way – built with bash, curl, and jq

While working on an educational exercise tinkering with local models and trying my hand at setting up agents, I went down a rabbit hole: to see how far I could build a custom agent loop using exclusively command-line building blocks and stripping out dependencies wherever possible. It turns out you can get pretty far with pipes, text streams, append only logs, and standard command-line components - concepts pretty well aligned with classic Unix philosophy. The agent is a wrapper composed of a ha...

Show HN: Videopython – local-first video processing, editing and AI workflows

I've been building videopython, a Python library for programmatic video editing, processing and AI workflows. Repo: https://github.com/BartWojtowicz/videopython The core idea is that edit is just a JSON / Pydantic plan. This plan can be validated against metadata of source video(s) via a dry run, then edit plan can be executed via streaming pipeline (many thanks to ffmpeg!) without holding frames in memory. Thanks to the JSON/Pydantic format of edit schema, you can easily expose it as tool for...

I spent a month optimizing my AI agent. Then realized I'd never defined what "optimized" meant.

This is not an agent. Built a personal agent with a simple job: take a note, structure it, file it, handle version control. Spent weeks tightening the spec. Hunting redundant rules. Convinced I was making progress. Toward what, exactly? Turns out I'd never defined "optimized." So I replaced it with other vague words like "reliable" and "no drift" — which I'd also never defined. Then I ran tests. With no baseline. Scoring criteria I invented myself. Produc...
