ChatCut is a lightweight, professional-grade AI video editor anyone can use, even without editing experience. It’s like having a personal video editing assistant that understands your footage, intent, and timeline. Make structural edits, fine-tune cuts, add captions, B-roll, music, voiceover, motion graphics, stock footage, and AI-generated video in one place. Every edit stays editable on a real timeline, with XML export when you want to keep working elsewhere.

PlugThis

Microsoft releases Flint, a visualization language for AI agents

345 pts

Data visualizations are the bridge between user and data. But building AI agents that can generate visualizations reliably can be very tricky: - simple chart specs can be reliable, but generated charts are often of low quality due to reliance on system defaults; - complex chart specs with explicit details can produce good-looking charts, but they are verbose and agents can struggle with reliability We figured out it is a limitation on the language issue (not just AI capability thing) -- current...

Reverse-engineering web apps into agent tools

89 pts

Hey HN! We built a browser-based agent that runs inside an authenticated web app, watches how the app calls its own APIs, and automatically turns those into agent tools. You can think of it as an auto-generated MCP server that self-updates as the host app changes. The result is a skilled AI assistant that actually integrates deeply with any product (not just chat and RAG) with minimal effort. Check out these short demos below that show the agent in software you're probably familiar with: - Jira:... (89 points, 36 comments).

Requirements Engineering with Formal Verification

I've been building an open source formal methods system (fizzbee.io) for the past few years. Today I'm launching a new app built on the same technology. It performs requirements engineering using formal verification to uncover gaps and produce precise instructions for your coding agents to follow. When given a prompt, it - asks high signal follow-up questions - converts to formal spec and identifies complex requirements gaps - generates validation scenario At the end, it produces a specification...

Dex – Cost-aware analytics engineering skills for agents

Hi I’m Marco, co-founder of Exmergo. Me and my team created Dex to help Analytics Engineers do real work with Claude Code (and any other coding agent). We’ve found that Data and Analytics teams are stuck between a rock and a hard place cost-wise: - On one side, they are using some of the most expensive consumption-billed software on the planet (Snowflake, Databricks etc.). - On the other side, Anthropic and Open AI want you to tokenmax (and with data analytics it’s very easy to burn your context...
