Ask HN: What am I missing with Siri AI?

I have a lot of experience with LLM’s and have seen them become very good at interacting with tools within an environment. I’m truly amazed at how poorly the new Siri is at handling very basic requests for basic interactions with different parts of the ecosystem. I’m really beginning to question whether LLM technology is being leveraged at all here. What am I missing with this? I have tons of examples where it fumbles softball requests. For example: “Siri, can you give me the location of my dri...

Show HN: Orglet, an open source desktop app for your own team of cute AI workers

I’m building Orglet, a desktop app where you give AI workers (I call them orglets, and they are cute) their own instructions and talk to them individually or together in a group chat. You can build your own army of orglets using your existing Claude Code or Codex subscription, an API provider, or even locally hosted models. Like other agent harnesses, orglets can access a working folder you give them permission to use. They can split the work among themselves, and you can review the resulting di...

Show HN: An AI wedding concierge I built and ran at my own 300-person wedding

I'm an American who got married to a Mauritian this past May. We had our Hindu wedding in my wife's home country of Mauritius. My family and friends are not Hindu, and certainly had never been to the tiny island of Mauritius (it's off the coast of Madagascar in case you were wondering). My wife and I arrived in Mauritius only two weeks before the start of the wedding to put the final preparations in place. I dreaded the prospect of answering a billion questions from my guests while trying to do ...

Ask HN: Are you unfollowing friends on GitHub because of AI slop?

Last week one of my IRL friends started playing with claude code. What was a fairly nice feed on my Github landing page turned into five pages of just his commits. I like my friend and want to keep up with what he's up to, but it now drowns out all my other friends who also do great work. I may need to unfollow him.

Show HN: PeerTalk.ai - Let your agent talk to a friend's agent

Little experiment I've been cooking up. I often find myself wanting to do one of the following: - Get my agent and a someone else's agent to agree on something, after we've been discussing the same topic in different threads - Give someone temporary access to talk to one of my agents for a specific purpose, to help them do something or help them understand something - Ask a co-worker for access to chat with their agent, to understand something it has been working on without it having to dump out...
