3. Show HN: Platle – The Better ChatGPT
URL: https://twitter.com/platleHQ/status/1846614186258059270
Author: archiebryann
Description: Hey there HN! I’m Ekomobong, and today I’m launching Platle, an innovative autonomous learning platform designed to empower students to reach their full potential! With features that encourage collaboration, research, and meaningful discussions.
I noticed the general trend in the way LLM apps were built, with the terrible and lazy designs, some of which include ChatGPT, Claude.ai, and so on. Most of the focus was placed on improving the underlying models, and little to no attention given to user experience. Anytime I stare at the design of ChatGPT and Claude.ai, I genuinely want to puke.
I also noticed how I couldn’t collaborate with actual humans while researching. Oh, I know why—because the whole messaging from day one has been about surpassing humans: “Oh, this is better than a PhD-level student.” Actual customers don’t care about that, lol. I also believe that the goal of AI should be to enable people to reach their full potential; having a goal that speaks to the effect of surpassing people is just lazy.
Tired of all this, I set out to build Platle. Platle enables you to research and chat simultaneously and in real time. Sharing research on Platle does not create a ‘dumb’ duplicate; rather, it’s more of an invite for someone so you can collaborate with each other in real-time.
You don’t chat with an LLM; you research with an LLM and then chat with other humans. Spoiler alert: the LLM is not a living thing; it’s inanimate.
With Platle:
[1] You can do a ‘live search’ if you are not satisfied with a response. This brings relevant and latest news on the subject, if the LLM is not aware of it yet.
[2] You can get a solid visual diagram for any response you don’t understand from the LLM. You can also share that diagram.
[3] You can export responses from the LLM in any of the following formats: .md, .png, .tex, .docx, .pdf, .html.
[4] You can research YouTube videos and websites by actually entering the links into a provided input like a normal person. ChatGPT really sucks at this for a company that is worth $150B.
[5] You can also research those really long and boring lecture videos you watch all the time, whether it’s from youtube or your local device. Yeah, ChatGPT also really sucks at that - $150B????????
[6] Platle also has a LaTeX editor, which of all these AI platforms seem not to ship with.
You can give it a spin at https://platle.com.
I’d love the feedback! :)

5. Show HN: Transcribe YouTube videos and Apple podcasts to Readable Markdown
URL: https://github.com/shun-liang/yt2doc
Author: druml
Description: There have been many existing projects that transcribe YouTube videos with Whisper and its variants, but most of them aimed to generate subtitles, while I had not found one that priortises readability. Whisper does not generate line break in its transcription, so transcribing a 20 mins long video without any post processing would give you a huge piece of text, without any line break or topic segmentation. This project aims to transcribe videos with that post processing.
Any feedback here, or on Github issues, would be very appreciated.

6. Show HN: Exploring five million Hacker News posts
URL: https://lmcinnes.github.io/datamapplot_examples/hackernews/
Author: lmcinnes
Description: This is a data map providing a view of all Hacker News stories with a score of at least 2 (to remove most of the spam). Stories are close together in the map if they have semantically similar titles. In the bottom left is a histogram of stories over time. Hovering on a bar will select stories from that year, and dragging a selection allows selecting multiple years. A keyword based text search is in the upper left. Hold down the shift key and drag to lasso-select points and get a word cloud generated from the selection. Clicking on a point will open the URL for that story.
The dataset was filtered from https://huggingface.co/datasets/OpenPipe/hacker-news Stories were embedded in a vector space via nomic-embed: https://huggingface.co/nomic-ai/nomic-embed-text-v1.5 A 2D representation was generated using UMAP: https://github.com/lmcinnes/umap Clusters were generated and topics named via HDBSCAN and Toponymy using Cohere Command-R:
- https://github.com/TutteInstitute/fast_hdbscan
- https://github.com/TutteInstitute/toponymy
- https://cohere.com/command
The interactive map was generated using DataMapPlot: https://github.com/TutteInstitute/datamapplot
The map provides a great way to get an overview of Hacker News stories over the years, and to explore them, and find interesting niche topics. There are limitations to both the text embedding and the 2D representation. For example posts about John Gruber’s “Daring Fireball” end up in “Sun-related phenomena” in the Astronomy region of the map; and some topics get squashed into odd places because of the limits of a 2D representation. Nonetheless, most topics, regions and stories are well placed. There is a wealth of knowledge and information packed in here, and a lot to explore.

8. Show HN: I built an open-source Apple Intelligence-like Writing Tool for Windows
URL: https://github.com/theJayTea/WritingTools/blob/main/README.md
Author: TechExpert2910
Description: As a high school student, I love LLMs and the execution of Apple’s Appel Intelligence Writing Tools, but was disappointed that nothing like that existed for Windows. So, I created Writing Tools, a better than Apple Intelligence open-source alternative that works system-wide on Windows!
Key features:
- Uses Google’s Gemini 1.5 Flash model for superior AI-assisted writing (much better than the tiny 2B parameter Apple Intelligence model)
- Works in any application with a customizable hotkey
- Proofreads, rewrites, summarizes, and more
- Free and privacy-focused (your API key stays local, no logging, no tracking, etc.)
It’s built with Python and PySide6, and I’ve made it easy to install with a pre-compiled exe. For the technically inclined, the well-documented source is available to run or modify.
I’d love feedback from the HN community on both the concept and the implementation. Are there features you’d like to see? Any thoughts on making it more robust or user-friendly?
GitHub: https://github.com/theJayTea/WritingTools
P.S. This is my first major Windows coding project, so I’m especially keen on advice for best practices and potential improvements! Thanks so much for your time :)

9. Show HN: Arch – an intelligent prompt gateway built on Envoy
URL: https://github.com/katanemo/arch
Author: adilhafeez
Description: Hi HN! My name is Adil Hafeez, and I am the Co-Founder at Katanemo and the lead developer behind Arch - an open source project for developers to build faster, generative AI apps. Previously I worked on Envoy at Lyft.
Engineered with purpose-built LLMs, Arch handles the critical but undifferentiated tasks related to the handling and processing of prompts, including detecting and rejecting jailbreak attempts, intelligently calling “backend” APIs to fulfill the user’s request represented in a prompt, routing to and offering disaster recovery between upstream LLMs, and managing the observability of prompts and LLM interactions in a centralized way - all outside business logic.
Here are some additional key details of the project,
* Built on top of Envoy and is written in rust. It runs alongside application servers, and uses Envoy’s proven HTTP management and scalability features to handle traffic related to prompts and LLMs.
* Function calling for fast agentic and RAG apps. Engineered with purpose-built fast LLMs to handle fast, cost-effective, and accurate prompt-based tasks like function/API calling, and parameter extraction from prompts.
* Prompt guardrails to prevent jailbreak attempts and ensure safe user interactions without writing a single line of code.
* Manages LLM calls, offering smart retries, automatic cutover, and resilient upstream connections for continuous availability.
* Uses the W3C Trace Context standard to enable complete request tracing across applications, ensuring compatibility with observability tools, and provides metrics to monitor latency, token usage, and error rates, helping optimize AI application performance.
This is our first release, and would love to build alongside the community. We are just getting started on reinventing what we could do at the networking layer for prompts.
Do check it out on GitHub at https://github.com/katanemo/arch/.
Please leave a comment or feedback here and I will be happy to answer!

10. Show HN: Greenmask 0.2 – Database anonymization tool
URL: https://github.com/GreenmaskIO/greenmask
Author: woyten
Description: Hi! My name is Vadim, and I’m the developer of Greenmask (https://github.com/GreenmaskIO/greenmask). Today Greenmask is almost 1 year and recently we published one of the most significant release with new features: https://github.com/GreenmaskIO/greenmask/releases/tag/v0.2.0, as well as a new website at https://greenmask.io.
Before I describe Greenmask’s features, I want to share the story of how and why I started implementing it.
Everyone strives to have their staging environment resemble production as closely as possible because it plays a critical role in ensuring quality and improving metrics like time to delivery. To achieve this, many teams have started migrating databases and data from production to staging environments. Obviously this requires anonymizing the data, and for this people use either custom scripts or existing anonymization software.
Having worked as a database engineer for 8 years, I frequently struggled with routine tasks like setting up development environments—this was a common request. Initially, I used custom scripts to handle this, but things became increasingly complex as the number of services grew, especially with the rise of microservices architecture.
When I began exploring tools to solve this issue, I listed my key expectations for such software: documentation; type safety (the tool should validate any changes to the data); streaming (I want the ability to stream the data while transformations are being applied); consistency (transformations must maintain constraints, functional dependencies, and more); reliability; customizability; interactivity and usability; simplicity.
I found a few options, but none fully met my expectations. Two interesting tools I discovered were pganonymizer and replibyte. I liked the architecture of Replibyte, but when I tried it, it failed due to architectural limitations.
With these thoughts in mind, I began developing Greenmask in mid-2023. My goal was to create a tool that meets all of these requirements, based on the design principles I laid out. Here are some key highlights:
* It is a single utility - Greenmask delegates the schema dump to vendor utilities and takes responsibility only for data dumps and transformations.
* Database Subset (https://docs.greenmask.io/latest/database_subset) - specify the subset condition and scale down size. We did a deep research in graph algorithms and now we can subset almost any complexity of database.
* Database type safety - it uses the DBMS driver to decode and encode data into real types (such as int, float, etc.) in the stream. This guarantees consistency and almost eliminates the chance of corrupted dumps.
* Deterministic engine (https://docs.greenmask.io/latest/built_in_transformers/trans…) - generate data using the hash engine that produces consistent output for the same input.
* Dynamic parameters for transformers (https://docs.greenmask.io/latest/built_in_transformers/dynam…) - imagine having created_at and updated_at dates with functional dependencies. Dynamic parameters ensure these dates are generated correctly.
We are actively maintaining the current project and continuously improving it—our public roadmap at https://github.com/orgs/GreenmaskIO/projects/6. Soon, we will release a Python library along with transformation collections to help users develop their own complex transformations and integrate them with any service. We have plans to support more database engines, with MySQL being the next one, and we are working on tools which will integrate seamlessly with your CI/CD systems.
To get started, we’ve prepared a playground for you that can be easily set up using Docker Compose: https://docs.greenmask.io/latest/playground/
I’d love to hear any questions or feedback from you!

11. Show HN: Automated smooth Nth order derivatives of noisy data
URL: https://github.com/hugohadfield/kalmangrad
Author: hugohadfield
Description: This little project came about because I kept running into the same problem: cleanly differentiating sensor data before doing analysis. There are a ton of ways to solve this problem, I’ve always personally been a fan of using kalman filters for the job as its easy to get the double whammy of resampling/upsampling to a fixed consistent rate and also smoothing/outlier rejection. I wrote a little numpy only bayesian filtering/smoothing library recently (https://github.com/hugohadfield/bayesfilter/) so this felt like a fun and very useful first thing to try it out on! If people find kalmangrad useful I would be more than happy to add a few more features etc. and I would be very grateful if people sent in any bugs they spot.. Thanks!

13. Show HN: Screvi – Stop Forgetting What You Read
URL: https://screvi.com
Author: pedrospective
Description: If you’re anything like me, you read and highlight a lot but always seem to forget most of it. Not only that, but I find myself spending too much time scrolling Twitter and Instagram these days.
I needed an app with similar features, but one that would make me productive instead of feeding me addicting and pointless content.
The usual notion/obsidian workflows are nice, but they get overly complex quick and I end up wasting a lot of time on them. I needed something easy and accessible like a social media app.
So, I built an app that fixes these issues by capturing and transforming my thousands of highlights into a scrollable, Instagram-like feed.
key features
- Sync highlights from Kindle
- Capture physical book highlights
- Save from Twitter
- Transcribe audio notes (so I can add highlights/thoughts while running or walking)
- Feed/Stories system
Let me know what you think! And if you find any bugs or have any ideas, please let me know at [email protected]

18. Show HN: Citizen – A Node.js web app framework for fans of classic app servers
URL: https://github.com/jaysylvester/citizen
Author: jaysylvester
Description: Citizen is a web application framework I started building years ago when I was first learning Node. I’ve added features and improved stability/performance continuously and finally decided it was worthy of 1.0 status.
I think it might appeal to devs like me (old guys) who came up on app servers like ColdFusion, .NET, PHP, etc. and prefer the server do the heavy lifting. It doesn’t dictate anything about your front end, and instead tries to be as flexible as possible in providing whatever output the client might need, whether it’s a single fully-rendered HTML view, partials, JSON, or plain text.
Only 2 direct dependencies for terminal commands (commander) and file watching (chokidar). Built-in functionality includes zero-configuration server-side routing, session management, key/value store (cache rendered views, controller actions, objects, and static files), simple directives for managing cookies, sessions, redirects, and caches, and more.
It’s been in continuous use on at least one site that receives hundreds of thousands of page views per month, running months at a time without the process crashing. Fairly stable.
Appreciate any comments/feedback/contributions.

Author: six_knight
Description: Hey Beautiful folks, it’s Warren. I built a publishing app to create and manage content. My goal is to build a simple SDK compatible with JavaScript frameworks.
The challenging and satisfying part was building and publishing the SDK to npm. Initially, the SDK files were not included in the file after running npm publish. To resolve this,, I created a separate folder and built and published the files from a different folder.
I’m building this for myself and other developers. The goal is to have an intuitive user interface to create and publish content. This is the first time I’ve used Typescript to build a project of this scale. Previously, I written data pipelines and mobile apps primarily in Python and Java respectively.
Happy to listen to feedback. This is version one.

26. Show HN: Automated code instrumentation for structured events
URL: #
Author: benjaminfh
Description: Hey HN! Sam, Alex and Ben from Invaria (formerly Patchwork Technologies): http://invaria.io. Observability is built on telemetry (metrics, logs and traces). Telemetry data quality is often poor because instrumenting code is still a time consuming task which requires a lot of hand-finishing. We believe that structured event data is the right end goal, and we’re starting by making it easier to get there using structured logging.
For our Launch HN (Aug), we set up a demo instance with pre-baked results. We wanted to go further to allow HN readers to give the product a proper test drive. https://open.invaria.io includes some pre-analysed OSS (Go, TS and Python) repos (no sign-in required). It also allows users to enroll additional OSS repos (limited to Go for now) that they’d like to see analysed (magic link sign-in required for this to allow us to manage state). The demo focuses on batch analysis of existing repos, providing an overview of instrumentation health, line-level code improvements with rationale, and related GH pull request examples (in practice these are usually bundles of many changes). A quick video here to help you find your way: https://youtu.be/IM9EFl4gwVs. Any questions, please email us at [email protected].
Since our last post, we’ve been iterating with our first customer/design partner in order to drive up the quality and consistency of outputs. We’re hitting 85% change acceptance rate with our customer on their main Go repo (1m+ LoC, 1000s of logging statements). Logs are their main telemetry source for debugging, and they want structured logs as standard. Yielding consistent results from LLMs is hard (no news there), and that’s been a big focus for us since our Launch HN. Breaking down prompts, refining the context we fetch from the syntax tree, and providing examples is where we have focused efforts.
We’re building Invaria because getting high quality telemetry from applications is still time-consuming and hard. We discuss it here in more detail: https://www.invaria.io/post/your-telemetry-is-garbage. OpenTelemetry has helped bridge the gap, but the event data that comes from auto-instrumented tracing, e.g. at the API level, is not enough for the typical (imperfect) application. It’s usually necessary to manually add further span and attributes, and to clean up any logging that’s burned into spans.
We’re starting with logging statements as the simplest form of event-level telemetry. Invaria can upgrade existing logging statements, and instrument key events with new statements. The demo instance demonstrates ‘batch mode’ on legacy code, and we are beta testing a CI-time integration right now. The goal is to automate instrumentation at the CI step, so that developers can focus on the creative engineering work.
Once again, your honest feedback would mean a lot to us. We have a lot of conviction that observability needs a shake up and that better outcomes require higher data quality. We’d love to hear what you think works and doesn’t work in our current approaches, and whether Invaria solves a problem for you.
A note on the name change: we really like the name Patchwork, but there are several other software companies/products with similar names. It caused some confusion during launches. We like invariant, a word borrowed from the control theory domain. We thought making high quality telemetry a constant was a nice mission statement.

30. Show HN: Gem – Quickly Save and Search Your Social Media Finds
Author: x86i
Description: I built Gem to help you save and organize discoveries made through social media content like Instagram and TikTok. Whether it’s a new restaurant to try, a recipe to cook, or a movie to watch, Gem captures the essence of what you find and saves it in a clean, actionable format, so it’s easy to access when you’re ready to take action.
The way content is presented in the discovery phase is different from the action phase. When you’re scrolling through TikTok or Instagram, short-form videos are perfect for exploring new ideas quickly. However, when it’s time to actually use that information—like planning a night out or cooking dinner—scrolling through videos again is frustrating and time-consuming. You need quick access to the details without the distraction of video playback.
That’s where Gem comes in. Instead of simply bookmarking the original video, Gem works quietly in the background. All you have to do is share the post directly from TikTok or Instagram, and Gem will automatically extract key information—like addresses, ingredients, or recommendations—and save it in a format that’s easy to read and act on when the time comes. Whether you’re planning a night out, cooking a meal, or picking a movie, Gem, makes it simple to find what you need, without having to scroll through your video feed again.
Currently, Gem works with TikTok and Instagram for content related to places, recipes, movies, or TV shows. We’re working to add support for more platforms and categories, and we’re adding new features and functionality every day.
Give Gem a try to see how easy it is to share a post from TikTok or Instagram—no interruptions to your browsing, just smarter saving.

31. Show HN: A fair Product Hunt alternative
URL: https://simplelister.com/
Author: denizhdzh
Description: Over the past few weeks, I’ve been developing Simple Lister, a platform built to support indie product creators and give them a fair shot. If you’ve launched on Product Hunt recently, you might have noticed that only featured products get the spotlight, while others struggle for visibility.
Why Simple Lister?
Simple Lister aims to fix this by offering a more transparent and fair approach for product launches. Here’s how we do it:
• No favoritism: Every product gets an equal chance, and we don’t play favorites.
• Daily Underdog Feature: Each day, we highlight one underdog product to give them extra visibility and support.
• No hidden fees: There are no surprise costs. We have a simple submission fee, and that’s it—no pay-to-play or hidden charges.
Also we have a long to do list to do better.
Why does this matter?
After launching on Product Hunt ourselves, we realized how tough it is for smaller creators to get any attention unless they’re featured. Simple Lister is here to champion those indie products that deserve to be seen by a wider audience.
The platform is new and evolving, and I’m constantly working to make it better. If you’ve got feedback or questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!
Thanks for your support, and I’d be happy if you submit your products!

Description: Hey HN!
I just launched a simple little game called Runaway Tanks that I’ve been working on. It’s kind of like Flappy Bird, but instead of controlling a bird, you’re a tank collecting stars. The twist? It’s multiplayer, so other tanks are zooming around in your way, adding a fun competitive element.
The game is live now, but one thing that’s been bothering me is the input lag, due to the round-trip time (RTT) in multiplayer. I’d love any thoughts on how I can improve it or smooth out the experience.
Feel free to try it out and let me know what you think! All feedback is super appreciated.

So you create an account and share stuff you like. That’s it. You can follow people if you like their stuff, then on the homepage you get a chronological feed showing the images from everyone you follow. You can also comment on stuff: the usual things.
I’m eventually going to charge a small recurring fee for this, but since I love you guys so much, I’m making it 100% free for life for anyone who signs up over the next little while.
tl;dr I made a social network for sharing art. It’s free at this moment, but not for long.

URL: https://huggingface.co/katanemo/Arch-Function-3B
Author: sparacha
Description: Hi HN!
My name is Salman Paracha. I aam the the Founder/CEO of Katanemo - the organization behind the open source Arch GW (an intelligent gateway for prompts - https://github.com/katanemo/arch). Today, we are making the (SOTA) LLMs engineered in Arch GW for function calling scenarios available under an OSS license that borrows from Llama’s community license.
What is function calling? Function calling helps developers personalize apps by calling application-specific operations via user prompts. This involves any predefined functions or APIs you want to expose to perform tasks, gather information, or manipulate data - via prompts. With function calling, you get to support agentic workflows tailored to domain-specific use cases - from updating insurance claims to creating ad campaigns. Arch-Function analyzes prompts, extracts critical information from prompts, engages in lightweight conversations with the user to gather any missing parameters and makes API calls so that you can focus on writing business logic.
Arch-Function is an auto-regressive model that if run on the NVIDIA A100 GPUs using vLLM offers throughput of ~1900/output tokens per second, and a output token price of $0.10/M token. This is ~12x faster and 44x cheaper than GPT-4o.

Have You ever picked up your phone to do one thing and suddenly you’re , scrolling through social media, watching videos, or browsing random stuff. Two hours later, you can’t even remember why you picked up your phone in the first place!

This way you can choose to keep browsing your phone and be sure that you will not forget. You also get a reminder 10 minutes later to ask you if you are done with the intended task.

55. Show HN: I built a tool to alert you when your automated emails fail to send
URL: #
Author: koliber
Description: I built wasitsent.com to alert you when automated emails fail to send. It’s built for DevOps, Marketing Ops, and RevOps teams. I am an engineer-turned-manager with over 20 years of experience building and overseeing SaaS applications. This tool solves a pain point that previously required custom-solutions.
[wasitsent.com](http://wasitsent.com/) monitors your automated, transactional, and scheduled emails and notifies you when they break.
I built [wasitsent.com](http://wasitsent.com/) because recently, two of my customers complained that their emails stopped sending and it caused a major headache for their business. I’ve faced this problem myself multiple time in my career.
It solves a problem that I and others have faced. These are true stories:
- If you were ever yelled at because the weekly sales report did not generate on Friday, this tool will save your butt.
- If you were ever in that awkward meeting where you had to explain why user notifications were not sending from the web application you are building, [wasitsent.com](http://wasitsent.com/) has got you covered.
- If Chris went on vacation and forgot to set up the next three emails in the DRIP campaign, you will find out quickly. (Names changed to protect those that went on vacation)
- If one day your dev team told you that over the past few months there were 180,000 unsent e-commerce transaction-related emails, you can make sure that does not happen again.
Uptime monitoring and APM (application performance monitoring) is important. Things will break. If you can notice and react quickly, your customers won’t suffer. There are many uptime monitoring tools, but nothing exists for doing end-to-end checks on emails.
Emails can break for many reasons — bad code, bad config, expired credit card in your SMTP provider, someone changed your SPF record, misconfigured SMTP server, the dev API key snuck into production, misconfigured cron, and many others. You can monitor any of them. What was missing up ‘till now was an end-to-end email sending check.
Well, now you have [wasitsent.com](http://wasitsent.com/) to make sure your emails are going out.
It’s still at an MVP stage and I am building feverishly. It’s already useful though, so give it a whirl.
All feedback welcome here, or via email at [email protected]. In particular, I am curious if the messaging on the homepage explains this service well.

URL: https://www.conteflow.com
Author: aprileva
Description: Hi all!
Just to share some background, I’m an introvert dev who enjoy building more than marketing but I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone and build some online presence.
I was partially inspired by fellow builders with just a couple hundred followers getting instant visibility for their projects by sharing consistently.
However, I underestimated how much time, effort and stress that trying to be consistent on social media would require, especially as an introvert and non-writer. I often procrastinated and disappeared from Twitter for weeks at a time as a result.
I didn’t want to throw in the towel though so I decided to try and solve my pain point. It took several tries and about 6 months to find a working direction.
The first couple attempts were a gamified streak tracker (earn points and levels for posting) and an AI interviewer (to draw out your stories and insights). Neither really worked out.
The final attempt that worked the best so far: Simply brain dump your messy thoughts and daily happenings and get a batch of tailored and authentic social media posts every week.
Over time, I realized the problem I’m solving is less about content creation and more about making content gathering and documentation as easy as possible. Content creation is 10x easier when you have a wealth of source material to work with.
I personally still need to improve at documenting consistently, but I’ve upgraded from procrastinating for weeks to posting several times a week. Pretty happy with the small win!

I’m excited to share Unwind with you, an app designed to help people reduce stress, ease anxiety, and sleep better through deep breathing exercises. It includes features like ambient sounds, progress tracking, mood journaling, and a variety of breathing techniques.
I built Unwind to offer a quick way to pause, reset, and calm the mind in under 5 minutes. I’m especially focused on a calming, delightful, and beautiful UI to make the experience as seamless as possible.
One of the key features Unwind has is that the watchOS app shows the change in heart rate after you finish a breathing exercise. It’s a great way to validate the efficacy of breathing exercises. For me, the sleep breathing exercise typically brings my heart rate down to 60 from 70-80.

URL: https://www.easypostersai.com
Author: Gacheu
Description: Hey HN,
I’m Brian, and I’d like to introduce EasyPosters AI, a tool I built to make poster design easy while ensuring high-quality, clear text.
The idea came from my frustration with existing AI image generators. I tried using them to create posters, but they mostly fell short when it came to handling text. Either the text was grammatically incorrect or completely irrelevant to what I needed. This is a huge problem, especially when you’re trying to make professional-looking posters.
That’s why I built this. It’s designed specifically to generate posters where the text not only makes sense but also looks crisp and readable, no matter the background. Whether it’s for event flyers, ads, or educational content, the AI knows how to keep text at the forefront without sacrificing design quality.
How it works: AI-powered design: You input details about your poster like target audience and the offer. Text accuracy: Unlike other AI tools, EasyPosters AI focuses on making sure text is grammatically correct, readable, and well-positioned. HD resolution for print: Posters are generated in HD (1024x768), and for printing at higher quality, we can provide custom resolutions for larger formats. No free trial sadly due to the costs involved in AI processing, but I’ve made the monthly subscription affordable so you can try it out. You can cancel anytime. I built this because I wanted a better solution for people like me, who need great-looking designs without spending too much time or money. Would love to hear any feedback from the HN community!

URL: https://step1buddy4panda.streamlit.app/
Author: nodexzero
Description: Step 1 Buddy is a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipeline that processes USMLE Step 1 videos and allows medical students to ask questions about specific topics. It provides answers with references to the exact video timestamps used as sources.
Try it out: https://step1buddy4panda.streamlit.app/
DISCLAIMER: You would need an OpenAI API key for answer generation currently. Depending on the feedback & in the future, I plan to replace it with a better suited/finetuned model.
Background: my girlfriend is currently studying/ preparing for step 1 exam to be taken soon and I watch her study every day using various study materials and she always has many doubts. Now obviously I cant answer the doubts being a AI grad student but I wanted to help her. I gathered from her that getting the questions answered from the videos as reference is of great help since the videos generally have slides and she could refer back to them quickly which would help her study better. This project is a small effort towards helping her past this arduous journey in medicine.
How it’s different: Unlike general Q&A systems, Step 1 Buddy is specifically tailored for USMLE Step 1 content. It not only provides answers but also points users to the exact moments in the video lectures where the information is discussed, allowing for quick verification and deeper understanding.
Technical details:
- Video processing:
- Audio extraction and transcription using OpenAI Whisper
- JSON dataset creation with text, timestamp, and video path
- RAG pipeline and answer generation:
- BERT embeddings for transcribed sentences
- Similarity search for context retrieval
- Answer generation using GPT-4-mini, constrained to the given context
- Video timestamp retrieval:
- Fetching and displaying relevant video segments using OpenCV
I’d love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, and any questions you might have about the project. Medical students, in particular, I’d be grateful for your feedback on how this tool could be improved to better serve your study needs.

68. Show HN: We built an AI chatbot for automating Instagram DMs
Author: PetarK
Description: Hi HN, I’m Petar, Lead Software Engineer at ZenithChat. We recently launched a chatbot designed to help e-commerce stores automate their Instagram DM interactions. Many e-commerce stores struggle to keep up with responding to a large volume of customer messages on Instagram. This often leads to generic automated responses or, worse, no response at all. Even if a support team is in place, answering the same set of questions repeatedly can become tedious.
That’s why we built ZenithChat—a smarter way to automate DM interactions. Our goal is to help page owners engage more effectively with their customers, ultimately leading to more sales.
Unlike other Instagram automation tools, ZenithChat is personalized and easy to set up—no complicated drag-and-drop builders. You can connect it to your Instagram page in just a few clicks, and it’s ready to go.
While other similar tools can also use LLM’s, ZenithChat goes beyond basic API calls. It understands your Instagram posts, website content, and more. For example, you can forward it a post or a story, and ZenithChat will automatically pull all relevant product info. It can even handle customer orders by collecting shipping info, leaving you to just send out that order.
This is just the beginning—we have a lot more planned for the future!
If you’re interested in learning more, check out our website or our Product Hunt launch: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/zenithchat.
You can also test it live on our demo Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/zenithchat__shop/

Features: an excellent UI for the stacktraces (I believe: the best). Sentry-SDK compatible. Very scalable. The usual stuff: notifications/alerts, issue-grouping.
Self-hosting may be important for privacy, security and legal reasons, or just because you have good taste. A focus on self-hosting should be contrasted with the “Self Hosted In Name Only” approach of «coughs loudly».
Bugsink is in beta now, with the Python SDK being the most tested, but others reportedly working just fine. Installation is basically docker run or pip install (there are some details, click the big “Try it!” button to see them).
--- I’m Klaas, the solo founder (“solo everything”) at Bugsink. I built this because I wanted a self-hostable solution for error tracking (stacktrace-first, no APM).

Description: I made an AI-powered agent that can handle first-line customer support and I’m really excited about its potential.
Narrot aims to provide human-quality support 24/7 at a fraction of the cost.
Here’s how it works:
- Client sends us their customer request via API
- Our AI agent analyzes it and responds in seconds
- Responses are tailored to your business and data
- In case something goes wrong - agent can always call a human (and does that proactively)
- Special proprietary protection layers from LLM hallucinations is in place
Some stats that blew my mind during development:
- Up to 95% reduction in first-line support costs
- Response times cut from minutes to seconds
- Human agents freed up for more complex issues
I know some people worry about ai taking jobs, but honestly, I see this as augmenting human support rather than replacing it entirely. Plus, it lets businesses offer round-the-clock support without burning out staff.
There is a free 7-day trial if anyone wants to kick the tires.
Would love feedback from you guys!
