First, the Microsoft-OpenAI exclusivity era is over. OpenAI has officially expanded to Amazon Web Services (AWS), bringing its frontier models like GPT-5.5, Codex, and Managed A
Show HN: Filling PDF forms with AI using client-side tool calling
Hey HN!I built SimplePDF Copilot: an AI assistant that can interact with the PDF editor. It fills fields, answers questions, focuses on a specific field, adds fields, deletes pages, and so on.It's built on top of SimplePDF that I started 7 years ago, pioneering privacy-respecting client-side pdf editing, now used monthly by 200k+ people.As for the privacy model: the PDF itself never leaves the browser. Parsing, rendering, and field detection all run client-side.The text the model needs (and
Show HN: Mljar Studio – local AI data analyst that saves analysis as notebooks
Hi HN,I’ve been working on mljar-supervised (open-source AutoML for tabular data) for a few years. Recently I built a desktop app around it called MLJAR Studio.The idea is simple: you talk to your data in natural language, the AI generates Python code, executes it locally, and the whole conversation becomes a reproducible notebook (*.ipynb file). So instead of just chatting with data, you end up with something you can inspect, modify, and rerun.What MLJAR Studio does:- Sets up a local Python env
Ask HN: Is Anybody Using Codex?
I read HN daily and posts about features or curious behavior of Claude Code are very common.<p>I see no posts about OpenAI Codex. I was under the impression that it also is a very popular tool and virtually as powerful as Claude Code.<p>Where am I wrong? Is Codex not popular? Is it significantly worse than Claude Code? Is it being "cancelled" because of OpenAI cooperating with the US Department of War?

Show HN: Brifly – stop re-explaining your codebase to Claude Code every week
Hey HN -- I built Brifly because I was tired of reexplaining the same architecture to Claude Code/AI Agents every time.You can have a memory layer where you store everything about your company or project. When an AI agent is used by an engineer, you can simply ask it to use the CLI, and it will go and retrieve the relevant information.There is also management of who last edited a file, so you can understand who is responsible for the latest context level changes stored in Brifly.You can cre
Show HN: Git Shield – local hooks for secrets and PII
I made this after worrying that AI coding sessions, copied logs, or quick test fixtures could leak real data into a repo.Git Shield installs pre-commit/pre-push hooks. It uses gitleaks for secrets and OpenAI Privacy Filter for contextual PII in outgoing diff additions. Everything runs locally; code is not sent to a service.The current tradeoff is: fast secret scan at commit time, heavier PII scan at push time. It supports Linux, macOS, and WSL, with CPU fallback for small diffs.Repo: https:
Show HN: Pu.sh – a full coding-agent harness in 400 lines of shell
I originally was just messing with pi-autoresearch. Gave it a sample task to build the most portable coding agent.First cut was 6 KB of shell. Great for one-shots, unusable interactively. I was shocked it actually worked.Started building up -- adding features — but with a self-imposed rule: no new dependencies, and sub 500 LOC. This thing had to be truly portable. Just sh, curl, awk. System primitives only.Which means I did some genuinely disgusting things in awk, including JSON parsing and the
Ask HN: Where is my UX after all those billions spent on LLM codegen?
today is may 2026. all my apps are up to date. all the SaaS I use are up to date by definition. so where is the promised LLM software revolution?all those super-on-steroids productivity boosts — where did they land? my banks, insurance, delivery apps, utilities... none of them blew my mind with killer features. not even the obvious long-awaited ones. if anything, I've noticed degraded quality in some apps from companies worth $T's.am I the only one feeling this? have any of you actuall
