Show HN: I Built an Agent That Writes Fresh Newsletters for Any Topic

5 hours 59 min ago

Recently, I was exploring the idea of using AI agents for real-time research and content generation.

To put that into practice, I thought why not try solving a problem I run into often? Creating high-quality, up-to-date newsletters without spending hours manually researching.

So I built a simple AI-powered Newsletter Agent that automatically researches a topic and generates a well-structured newsletter using the latest info from the web.

Here's what I used:

- Firecrawl Search API for real-time web scraping and content discovery - Nebius AI models for fast + cheap inference - Agno as the Agent Framework - Streamlit for the UI (It's easier for me)

The project isn’t overly complex, I’ve kept it lightweight and modular, but it’s a great way to explore how agents can automate research + content workflows.

If you're curious, I put together a walkthrough showing exactly how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDYnR_MlErg

And the full code is available here if you want to build on top of it: https://github.com/Arindam200/awesome-ai-apps/tree/main/simp...

Would love to hear how others are using AI for content creation or research. Also open to feedback or feature suggestions might add multi-topic newsletters next!

Show HN: An open-source browser extension that integrates difftastic into GitHub

6 hours 2 min ago

This was meant to be a weekend project and ended up taking a liiiittle longer (only a couple more weekends haha).

Difftastic (https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic) is a popular tool that generates structural diffs. Its diffs are often nicer than git's default diffs, but it's a CLI only tool - so I made a browser extension that can display them directly within Github.

Ask HN: Should I build a directory product?

6 hours 11 min ago

"just build a directory, they’re easy to monetize" - one of my friends

but there are already hundreds of those most of them feel the same

if i ever build one it won’t be another uneed or tinylaunch clone it’ll have taste, soul, and real utility

that’s the same mindset behind thumblifyai.com not just another ai thumbnail tool

it’s a content machine for creators built to help them get real clicks, real reach

this “build a directory” idea’s been stuck in my head for a month

i don’t know… should i actually build it?
