Probook Raises $40M from a16z and Sequoia to Build an AI Dispatch Layer for Home Services

Every working day, somewhere between a quarter and two-thirds of the phone calls placed to America's plumbers, electricians, and HVAC shops go unanswered, and the revenue attached to them does not wait politely for a callback. It is not lost to bad marketing. It is not the product of lazy technicians. It evaporates in the gap between the moment a homeowner with a flooded basement dials the first number on the search page and the moment a dispatcher decides who is sent, when, and in what order, b...

Why Most Wearable Apps Fail (And How to Build Better Ones)

Wearable apps often fail because they focus on data collection rather than meaningful user outcomes.

The Future of AI Sales Speaks More Than One Language

AI sales agents have arrived, but most are built for one buyer: an English speaker checking an inbox. The real growth looks nothing like that. It is on WhatsApp, in dozens of languages, across markets where models cost more and perform worse the moment you leave English. The teams winning the next wave are not the ones with the best English copy. They are meeting buyers in their own language, on the channel they already use, and closing right there.

Your CI Pipeline Should Reject Any Service Without an Observability Contract

A payment notification service on our EKS cluster failed silently for 47 minutes — PagerDuty never fired, Loki never alerted, we found out from a customer tweet. The root cause was a microservice extraction that lost the structured logging config. The fix wasn't more tooling. It was treating observability as a hard deployment requirement, enforced with an Open Policy Agent policy in CI. Here's the Rego, the GitHub Actions gate, and the before/after of what changed.

Show HN: RLM-based local debugger for AI agent traces

We built HALO (Hierarchal Agent Loop Optimizer), an open-source tool for debugging and optimizing AI agents using their execution traces. It’s a loop. Run your agent, feed the traces to HALO, get the report, apply the fixes, then re-run your agent. HALO takes in OTEL compliant traces from AI agents using tracing frameworks such as Langfuse, Arize/OpenInference, or even just plain JSONL. It uses an RLM (Recursive Language Model) to more efficiently break trace analysis into smaller subproblems in...
