What People Are Saying

  • "The way Jesse is using these tools is wildly more ambitious than most other people"HN comment

  • "the brainstorming skill is great. It helps flesh out a rough early idea"HN comment

  • "it uses subagents to adversarially review its own spec/plan; that has caught several things I would've missed"HN comment

  • "I personally don't like superpowers very much... Claude makes more mistakes when using it"HN comment

  • "It's still the same Claude... Just don't believe it's a silver bullet"HN comment

  • "a must-have imo... forces claude to create sub agents, stops short cuts, cut error rate substantially"X reply

GLM-5: From Vibe Coding to Agentic Engineering

Market Signal

Why It Has Market Pull

GLM-5 is Z.ai's MIT-licensed open-weight frontier model family aimed at agentic engineering and coding, distributed on Hugging Face and ModelScope and via a low-cost API. It is positioned as a drop-in, cheaper backend for Claude Code, Cline, and similar tools, with the latest generation reaching a 1M-token context and topping several long-horizon coding benchmarks.

  • Open-weight repo is a front door for a model distributed widely on Hugging Face and ModelScope
  • Reportedly beats GPT-5.5 on SWE-bench Pro and posts strong Terminal-Bench scores
  • MIT-licensed open weights with commercial use; AMD published a quantized build
  • Coding plan priced to deliberately undercut Claude; works out of the box with Claude Code, Cline, Roo Code, Goose
  • Reportedly trained entirely on domestic accelerators — a major supply-chain narrative driving coverage

Market Signal

Why It Has Market Pull

Z-Image Turbo is Alibaba Tongyi-MAI's open-source 6B-parameter text-to-image model that generates photorealistic images with accurate English and Chinese text in under a second, and ranks as the #1 open-weights image model on the Artificial Analysis Image Arena, beating much larger models despite its size. The popular hosted demo is MCP-enabled, so it can be wired directly into AI agent workflows.

Product Hunt

Finally, an inbox you'll look forward to. Agents sort your messages, draft your replies, and clear the grunt work behind the scenes, all in a client so well-crafted that email feels light, fast, fun.

As bots and AI agents overrun the internet, finding real customer opinions is only getting harder. Honestly cuts through the chaos by discovering verified conversations about your product across Reddit, TikTok, X, YouTube, Instagram, & Facebook then turning them into insights your team can act on.

Sales teams have been stuck with stale databases for 15 years. Jesse changes everything.. the first internet-wide search engine built for sales & marketing. Ask in plain English: "Find newly opened soccer facilities in the Midwest needing turf solutions." Jesse scans the live web and finds the right buyers in the market today. We are an anti database company, we don’t scrape and store stale databases and sell them at premium. Every lead is found fresh from the live internet and delivered.

Ditch your scraper. One API gives your code everything it needs from the web: structured JSON, clean markdown, cited research, and browser automation. No browser, LLM, or pipeline for you to run. Use it from the tools you already work in: an MCP server, CLI, Raycast extension, or as an Agent Skill. Grab a key and make your first call in less than three minutes. Mozilla-backed. Your data is never sold, never trained on.

Stop acting as the routing layer between AI and your actual work. Elvin is proactive AI that finds coordination work across your tools, handles the messy multi-step parts, and asks before taking action. It turns scattered context from messages, meetings, docs, and task tools into ready-to-approve drafts, follow-ups, updates, and next steps.

Turn any video into an interactive AI experience. With Agentic Videos, viewers don't just watch - they pause, ask questions, get real-time answers, and interact with the presenter inside the video itself. Viewers experience content in a fully personalized way. Creators gain a new world of insight into knowledge gaps and intent: a viewer who asks three questions tells you more than a thousand passive completions ever could. Now on the D-ID platform, built with industry-leading expressive avatars.

I'm the developer of Trace, a non-intrusive, shortcut-driven Mac app that records and transcribes your meetings on-device. I know, another meeting transcription app. Please bear with me though, I'm confident that this is at least a little novel. I primarily built Trace for myself. I'd been using MacWhisper, but there was enough fiddling before each call that I'd forget to start it and walk out of an hour-long meeting with nothing written down. So the things I cared about most were that it's quic... (205 points, 83 comments).

Hi HN, I'm the author of git-lrc, would appreciate some feedback from the community Last year my team started using AI coding tools more heavily, and we found ourselves generating tons of code, but spending less time looking at the stuff that's been generated. We felt like we were losing a bit of grip/understanding of what we were building. Regressions occasionally slipped through. Sometimes changes made it all the way to production only to be reverted later. We tried several AI code review tool... (9 points, 0 comments).

Driving home from work one day, I wanted to know how many people we knew the names of who lived during the Roman era. Searching around, I found lists of Consuls and officials, but nothing that covered ordinary people or even most people like freedmen and slaves. So I ended up building a pipeline to process the more than 500k Latin inscriptions in the Epigraphic Database Clauss-Slaby https://edcs.hist.uzh.ch/en/ and extract the names of people (and attempt to cluster them, but this is a work in p...

I’ve spent the last seven months building a tool I wish I’d had in my previous roles. MimicScribe is a macOS menu bar app that fits the "AI notetaker" category. It has accurate on-device speaker identification (a first possibly?), real-time meeting talking points for discovery calls, and a fully keyboard- and voice-driven interface. I believe the accuracy of the speaker ID system is its biggest strength. I used fluid audio’s port of ( https://github.com/fluidInference/FluidAudio ) Pyannote's com... (32 points, 10 comments).

With AI, it's faster than ever to ship a marketing site... but most of what gets generated is slop that was never built to be found. Plus the tools meant to catch that fall short: most SEO auditors cost money, don't play nicely with your agents, or tell you what's wrong without telling you how to actually rank for SEO and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization: being cited by AI search like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews). crawlie fixes that!

Hi HN, I'm Kaushik, and I built Rocketgraph. I believe that while other spaces have caught up to the AI wave, the observability space is still lagging behind, using the same tools and dashboards that we use to analyse logs from human-written code. But now the code is written and debugged by AI, so we need to rethink how we do observability where the observer itself is an AI. The problem that I run into is when an alert fires, I have to manually check the Grafana dashboards and write LogQL querie... (13 points, 3 comments).
