How do you know when a name is "good enough" to build around?
Been working on an AI productivity tool and stuck on the name. One that keeps coming back to me is Cyntiq. It sounds sleek and kind of synthetic, which fits, but I’m not sure if it stands out or just blends in with the endless stream of short-techy-brandable names.
How do you decide when a name is good enough to commit? Do you just run with what feels right, or is there a deeper process behind choosing something to build around?

Show HN: Microagents; Tiny agents in a group chat, working for you
Hey HN,
I've been a long time lurker of this site, and nothing i've built before felt "worthy" enough to share here. This one came pretty close. So here we go.
I've been playing around with the idea of "ai agent" collaboration. With protocols like MCP and A2A coming out, I think this is an interesting area to work on.
So I built, Microagents.
The idea is very simple.
1)Connect your tools (Gmail, Notion, Slack, and 100s more)
This will give you a "Micro" agent, which is specialized in that platform/tool. (Github Agent, Gmail Agent etc)
2) Group them into teams
You group these tiny agents into a team. For example. You can group GmailAgent and Google Calendar agent in a group that handles your meetings.
3) Assign tasks
The agents will collaborate and try to do your task in realtime.

I'd say the final product is still in very early stage. There are lot of gaps. I'd love to hear your feedback/criticism.
