Show HN: 16 year olds building an Integrated Writing Environment using AI

Thu, 11/14/2024 - 2:24pm

Hey HN! Jainish here—super excited to share that my friends and I have just launched Factful, an Integrated Writing Environment (IWE) that many of you helped shape with your feedback.

For those who missed our last post (from Andrew, previous post here: https://shorturl.at/Pn0ha), we shared an early version of Factful and were amazed to see over 20,000 users giving it a try. Since then, we’ve been hard at work refining the platform based on your suggestions. Factful is now a complete IWE that offers everything you need to write, edit, and fact-check in one streamlined environment, helping you stay productive and ensure every piece is accurate and credible. It also provides grammar & suggestions based on writing style & locale, along with personalized analytics. We also support google drive integration, our google auth is in the process of getting approved. Rich text editor and chrome extension is also in development.

For businesses and teams, Factful offers custom B2B features tailored to meet organizational needs. These include advanced usage analytics, dev API, and and an admin dashboard that allows team leaders to oversee account settings, manage workflows, and customize Factful’s toolset for their specific goals. Whether you're working on internal documentation, marketing materials, or research-heavy projects, Factful enables seamless collaboration and high-quality content creation across your team. We also offer a custom fact-checking AI model to correct employee-written text on internal knowledge set (invoices, company policies, receipts, etc.)

One of our standout features is the inline forward-slash commands, which make your workflow even faster. Commands like /search (for web lookups, including academic papers), /translate, /paraphrase, and /synonym or /antonym help you research, refine, and adjust your writing seamlessly (many more to come!) Here’s a guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ovm2b5KOke7Ng94P5MVTDSyJ...

For a limited time, we’re offering free premium access so that everyone can try out these features at no cost. We’d love for you to give Factful a try, whether you’re an individual user or a business looking for smarter writing solutions. Your feedback has been invaluable, and we can’t wait to hear more! Thanks for helping us make Factful the best it can be!

Show HN: PerfAgents – Find Issues Before Your Users Do with Synthetic Monitoring

Thu, 11/14/2024 - 1:30pm

Hello HN! We’re excited to share PerfAgents, a synthetic monitoring tool built for startups and enterprises seeking robust and proactive monitoring across global regions.

TL;DR: PerfAgents is a synthetic monitoring platform that uses your existing E2E automation scripts (Playwright, Puppeteer, Cypress, and Selenium) for web app monitoring, reducing setup time by 80%. No complex integrations, no vendor lock-in, and proactive alerts that let you catch bugs before users do.

Problem We’re Solving: Ensuring application reliability across all regions is tough, especially when existing monitoring tools either require extensive DevOps/QA setup or lock users into proprietary workflows. This results in inefficient workflows, delayed issue detection, and, often, user-facing bugs in production environments.

How We Solved It: PerfAgents offers a multi-framework approach that lets you monitor app functionality without needing new integrations or script re-recording. By reusing existing end-to-end scripts, PerfAgents makes setup fast, keeps monitoring flexible, and allows teams to detect and resolve issues faster. Features include: -> Multi-framework support for Playwright, Puppeteer, Cypress, and Selenium -> AI-driven monitoring script generation to automate monitoring setups with no code -> Global test execution for instant insights across regions -> Real-time alerts integrated with popular tools (Slack, PagerDuty, Jira) -> Flexible pricing based on execution frequency, not script complexity

How It Works: -> Setup: Connect your GitHub repository to import existing scripts, or use our built-in AI tools for zero-code setups. -> Monitor & Alert: Configure regional monitoring and alert channels, with real-time notifications when an issue occurs. -> Optimize & Scale: Review logs, performance reports, and leverage our multi-framework support to refine application flow monitoring.

Key Benefits: -> Faster issue resolution: Early detection and instant alerts prevent downtime and improve stability. -> Cross-team collaboration: Centralized data helps DevOps, QA, and product teams collaborate more effectively. -> Flexible framework support: Avoid vendor lock-in with multi-framework compatibility. -> High scalability: Configurable monitoring counts ensure you’re only paying for what you use.

PerfAgents is already in use by Fortune 500 companies and has helped SaaS and e-commerce teams reduce downtime by 40% and cut support tickets by nearly 57%.

Who It’s For: -> DevOps, QA, and Engineering leaders looking to optimize monitoring setup and execution -> Teams already using frameworks like Playwright, Puppeteer, Cypress, or Selenium -> SaaS and e-commerce platforms where reliable, global user flows are critical

PerfAgents is available for a free trial now. We’d love to hear your thoughts, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
