Hey HN,

We built Exosphere (exosphere.host) – a platform to orchestrate and run batch AI agents on large data with connectors, autoscaling, and affordable inference (up to 75% cheaper). Think of it as a control plane for async AI workloads.

Why we built it: Running background AI workflows (like summarising 1M support chats or processing 10K PDFs) is messy – you need queueing, scaling, model hosting, cost control, and integration with your systems. Most infra today is optimised for chat apps, not bulk tasks or pipelines. This is going to become messier with multistep AI agents/workflows coming in.

What Exosphere does: - Supports batch AI agents with parallelism, retries, and memory - Integrates with tools like S3, Notion, GCS, Pinecone etc - Works with open-source models like DeepSeek, LLaMA, and Claude via API - Has a soon-to-be open-source orchestrator called Orbit (built from scratch) - Cost-optimised infra tuned for large data inference and delayed inference

Easy onboarding, no GPU setup required

Example use cases: - Classify or extract info from 100K PDFs - Run retrieval-based QA across millions of records - Summarize and route large volumes of tickets or feedback - Batch label images or text for finetuning

We’d love feedback from this community – thoughts on dev experience, connectors to add, model support, or features you'd want in the agent platform.

You can try it out here or just reply here if you want some free credits for trying open-source models in batch.

Thanks! – Nivedit (ex-Azure OpenAI) and the team

Hey all, I made the tool that I was looking for myself. It finds underpriced properties for sale within a zip code or city. The valuation model is based on a proprietary ML stacking ensemble model trained on recently sold data. It is meant to save hours of searching within a general area for real estate investors or people looking to find a great deal! Hope you guys enjoy, I'd love to hear feedback!

Hey HN,

We just open-sourced `gcp-ops-bot` — a Python-based, agentic monitoring utility for GCP that lets you interact with your infrastructure using natural language.

It combines Google GenAI and native GCP APIs (Monitoring, Logging, Compute, IAM) to answer questions like: - "What VMs are running in us-central1-a?" - "List all custom service accounts in my project" - "Show logs from the last hour for compute instances"

It’s meant to be easy to set up, intuitive to use, and useful for devs, SREs, and students learning cloud infra.

Would love your feedback, thoughts, and suggestions. Happy to answer questions here!

I've been doing analog photography for a few years now and started posting my shots on Instagram. I couldn't find any free good tools to do my photo padding/resizing to fit in the instagram new post sizes and every time doing it manually specially for multi picture posts was really time consuming. so I ended up making a free app for it and I'm loving it.

Here's the TLdr;

PadSnap is a simple web app that adds customizable padding to your photos so they fit Instagram’s/custom dimensions — no cropping, no quality loss.

- Modern, intuitive interface with light & dark themes

- One-click photo processing for Instagram-friendly dimensions

- Customizable borders or blurred image backgrounds

- Batch load and preview with ZIP download

- Works entirely in your browser – no photos ever leave your device

- Progressive Web App (PWA) support for installation on any device

-------

I only shared the app on two photography subreddits and got more than 1400 people visiting the website on the first 48 hours, and more than 400 upvotes and comments. Here are a few of my favorite real comments from kind Redditors who tried PadSnap:

- “A free app, without ads or personal data needed, made by someone who just wants to make a good product and share it with the world. It even works offline. What the hell is this, 2005?”

(This comment really made me thing about what earlier internet felt like and how I really want that back :) ) - “Omg I love you, now I don’t have to put every picture into Gimp anymore”

- “Can’t believe it took so long for a great tool like this to come out.”

-----------

I'd love to hear your feedback about the current state of the app, where should I take this, and anything you want me to hear.

Also I'm not planning to do that much marketing around the app, but would love to make sure people can find it, now sure what is the best approach for this. (I've heard vibe-marketing, but no idea what that entails :) )

The discount chain attributed its recent sales slump partially to tariff uncertainty, but stressed that price increases are only one option.
