Even worse, I got contacted through YC Jobs (workatastartup.com) with a message that was basically: "Star, fork, and submit PRs to our open-source repo and we'll review you for a contract." I immediately realize it's engagement farming + free labor. I said "No thanks." Got this reply: "(...) I'm looking forward to reviewing your PRs. Feel free to share me any of your questions. (...)" Apparently, no one read my reply - not even AI. They are automating this shit. It's sad that many fall for it (check their Github repo) --- Company: Aden (W20) Contact: Vincent Jiang, Founder Github: https://github.com/aden-hive/hive

Show HN: Agent framework that generates its own topology and evolves at runtime

Hi HN, I’m Vincent from Aden. We spent 4 years building ERP automation for construction (PO/invoice reconciliation). We had real enterprise customers but hit a technical wall: Chatbots aren't for real work. Accountants don't want to chat; they want the ledger reconciled while they sleep. They want services, not tools. Existing agent frameworks (LangChain, AutoGPT) failed in production - brittle, looping, and unable to handle messy data. General Computer Use (GCU) frameworks were even worse. My reflections: 1. The "Toy App" Ceiling & GCU Trap Most frameworks assume synchronous sessions. If the tab closes, state is lost. You can't fit 2 weeks of asynchronous business state into an ephemeral chat session. The GCU hype (agents "looking" at screens) is skeuomorphic. It’s slow (screenshots), expensive (tokens), and fragile (UI changes = crash).

It mimics human constraints rather than leveraging machine speed. Real automation should be headless. 2. Inversion of Control: OODA > DAGs Traditional DAGs are deterministic; if a step fails, the program crashes. In the AI era, the Goal is the law, not the Code. We use an OODA loop to manage stochastic behavior: - Observe: Exceptions are observations (FileNotFound = new state), not crashes. - Orient: Adjust strategy based on Memory and - Traits. - Decide: Generate new code at runtime. - Act: Execute. The topology shouldn't be hardcoded; it should emerge from the task's entropy. 3. Reliability: The "Synthetic" SLA You can't guarantee one inference ($k=1$) is correct, but you can guarantee a System of Inference ($k=n$) converges on correctness. Reliability is now a function of compute budget. By wrapping an 80% accurate model in a "Best-of-3" verification loop, we mathematically force the error rate down—trading Latency/Tokens for Certainty. 4. Biology & Psychology in Code "Hard Logic" can't solve "Soft Problems." We map cognition to architectural primitives: Homeostasis: Solving "Perseveration" (infinite loops) via a "Stress" metric. If an action fails 3x, "neuroplasticity" drops, forcing a strategy shift. Traits: Personality as a constraint. "High Conscientiousness" increases verification; "High Risk" executes DROP TABLE without asking. For the industry, we need engineers interested in the intersection of biology, psychology, and distributed systems to help us move beyond brittle scripts. It'd be great to have you roasting my codes and sharing feedback. Repo: https://github.com/adenhq/hive

Here's the full story behind this project: I grew up helping my dad run his factory so I'm very familiar with ERP systems for manufacturing. A few years ago, when I decided to build a startup and I indentified the biggest problems with ERP is the fact they all just serve as data integration and system of records now - there're not enough processes automation. Therefore, I thought it'd be very meaningful to leverage AI to automate business processes such as PO, Price Requisition, and invoices, etc. 3 years in, I realized that every customer in our space (construction and contracting) want process automation, however, AI is simply not good enough - it's too slow, unpredictable, inconsistent, and overall hard to count on. For example, automating a quote by asking AI to insert dynamic variables from a relational database is hit or miss. Askin

g voice AI to provide training does not capture full breadth of the offline activities. Asking AI to fill out a work order creates a ton of errors. Later, we decided that though LLM and the foundation models were progressing fast, the dev tools were lacking way behind, particular behind all the hypes and promises these AI applications claimed. The agents are not reliable, consistent, intelligent, evolving, and chances are the market would demand more apps to keep the party going. Therefore, we went full open-source. The mission we have in mind is really to "generate reliable agents that can run business processes autonomously". We see all this hype about general computer use (GCUs) and can't help but making an opposing argument - that the AI agents need guardrails, more defined paths, and most importantly consistent results just like a human would need - Proactive Reasoning (anticipating future needs or consequences) - Memory & Experience (events affecting himself/herself) - Judgment (based on experience) - Tools & Skills (capabilities to execute) - Reactive Adaptiveness (handling immediate roadblocks) - Contextual Communication (articulating intent and collaborating with others) - Character & Traits (consistent behavioral biases: Risk profile, Integrity, Persistence) The project seems to have gained a bit of a traction so far and I hope that you can fork it and tell the community what's missing and what we should be working on. I deeply thank you because the it's truly painful to build and deploy these one-off agents that don't get utilized. (https://github.com/adenhq/hive).

Show HN: Open sourcing our ERP (Sold $500k contracts, 7k stars)

We recently open-sourced Hive after using it internally to support real production workflows tied to contracts totaling over $500k. Instead of manually wiring workflows or building brittle automations, Hive is designed to let developers define a goal in natural language and generate an initial agent that can execute real tasks. Today, Hive supports goal-driven agent generation, multi-agent coordination, and production-oriented execution with observability and guardrails. We are actively building toward a system that can capture failure context, evolve agent logic, and continuously improve workflows over time - that self-improving loop is still under development. Hive is intended for teams that want: - Autonomous agents running real business workflows - Multi-agent coordination - A foundation that can evolve through execution data We cur

Show HN: Aden A self-healing agent framework that refactors its own logic

I’ve spent the last year watching agentic workflows break the moment a schema changes or an LLM returns a slightly unexpected format. Traditional "chains" are too brittle for production, so I built Aden to move away from static, hardcoded logic. Aden is an infrastructure layer that uses a "Queen Bee" coding agent to transform your natural language goals into a recursive graph of worker agents. When an agent fails or hits an edge case, the framework doesn't just throw an error; it captures the failure trace, uses the coding agent to refactor the underlying node logic or connection graph, and redeploys the fix in real-time. It’s built to be MCP-native with 100+ connectors and includes "Agentic P&L" guardrails to prevent token-burn from runaway loops. You can try it out by cloning the repo and running the quickstart script to build your firs
