Hey HN,<p>We’re Rahul and Max, co-founders of AgentHub.dev (<a href="https://www.agenthub.dev/">https://www.agenthub.dev/</a>). We automate repetitive workflows for businesses using LLM-powered automations. Our platform lets you build and host these automations to emulate employee workflows in a scalable way. Here’s a demo video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD9aoyKPOjs" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD9aoyKPOjs</a><p>We started 9 months ago while lurking in the Auto-GPT discord and seeing thousands of non-technical users struggle to clone the repo or set up their environments. We were excited by the concepts of Agents so we built and deployed a (very ugly) web app within a few days so anyone could experiment. We started to see people literally begging the Agents to complete simple tasks and giving up due to cost/frustration. Seeing the type of relatively simple work people were trying to automate with AI was the catalyst for what we ended up building.<p>We decided to make a drag-and-drop automation builder so these users could piece together their ideal automations instead of begging the agent to do that same task and failing. V1 was a borderline un-usable series of drop down menus but evolved into the canvas based workflow builder it is now.<p>It’s somewhat similar in concept to Zapier or Make.com except we’re aiming to automate much more complex work end to end instead of just speeding up simple tasks. We originally described it as Zapier on crack but as it's gotten more complex, some people compare it to existing RPA platforms like UI Path. We like to call it an 'LLM-based Intelligent Automation Platform'.<p>Our biggest challenge from the very beginning has been balancing usability and complexity. We wanted anyone to be able to understand it while still being powerful enough for people to get creative. Building the framework has been an extremely iterative process of users getting confused (for good reason) and us tweaking our approach. We still have a ways to go in terms of usability but are proud of where it’s at. Eager to hear your feedback!<p>Here are 3 template automations we built to give people a starting point. I think the real beauty of the platform is how personalized the automations users create are but these general templates give a nice idea of how it works.<p><a href="https://www.agenthub.dev/templates/hr_hiring/linkedin_profile_processor">https://www.agenthub.dev/templates/hr_hiring/linkedin_profil...</a>

<a href="https://www.agenthub.dev/templates/sales_crm/automated_sales_emails">https://www.agenthub.dev/templates/sales_crm/automated_sales...</a><p>These templates are on the simpler side. Our power users nest automations, trigger them via webhook and have them running at a pretty surprising scale. The highest we’ve seen was last Friday with a single user running 5k automations within a few hours. The unofficial record before that for most automations runs was one of our users who discovered infinite-recursion by accident, but that doesn't count.<p>We have two main types of users at the moment, people automating their existing businesses work and people using the no-code builder to build new ideas. The first was our original intention, letting any semi technical person in a company spot inefficiency and quickly get a solution deployed to address it. The second and more unexpected type of user has been non-technical founders spotting problems and being able to build APIs to serve niches they’ve found without needing to code.<p>It’s called AgentHub because I bought the domain for 10 dollars on day 2 of building when I thought we’d be a hub to host and share agents and never bothered rebranding. If anyone wants to take a crack at a better name, we’d be interested!(I speak kind of quickly and people think I’m saying ‘asian-hub’ pretty often…<p>We’re really excited to share the platform with you all and look forward to your feedback!
I just clicked around and set up an automation to scrape a website and copy the text into a Google Doc. Seriously, bravo. This is extremely impressive. You seem to have both the integrations and the design down pat.<p>I'll echo what others have said: I would expect OpenAI to be breathing down your neck, as this seems to overlap a lot with their plans for assistants.<p>The topic is so broad, though, that there may be a niche for you to carve out along the way regardless. Best of luck!
I'm excited about this because AI should automate tedious and repetitive work (we're trying to do this for web scraping).<p>Couple of questions:<p>- Are you also looking into doing RPA with your agents, e.g form filling? I see huge potential for LLMs in that space.<p>- Are you using AgentGPT or similar under the hood? Will the OS repo benefit from your success?<p>- Are you focusing on a specific ICP/use case to sell to and optimize for? That's usually a challenge for horizontal solutions.
Congratulations on the launch!<p>What are your thoughts on the WYSIWYG interface compared to having someone check in a configuration file for the workflow in their code?<p>Are the intended users of your product primarily non-developers?
> people think I’m saying ‘asian-hub’ pretty often<p>Lots of variations on the theme of english pronounciation tend to elide or at least soften trailing consonants.<p>(I just read that last sentence out to myself twice, once normally, once making a point of pronouncing them fully, and it makes a sufficient example)<p>My father told me many years ago that it tended to help being heard at a distance so was very useful for public speaking (in the days before everybody was miked up for the livestream/recording).<p>I started trying it, and not only did it work for that, I discovered that if presenting to a european audience it helped a -lot- for the second language speakers.<p>Later I discovered it also worked rather well making my brit accent more comprehensible to americans, and later still that I'm easier to lip read too.<p>If I say AgentHub out loud to myself normally, I end up softening the 't' enough that I can absolutely see people hearing 'asian-hub' from me as well, but if I make a point of turning on my 'better enunciation' mode the 't' becomes crisp to the point where it's almost a 'tuh' sound and I think the result is much harder to mishear.<p>So ... I think you may find that whether you keep the name or not, experimenting with the trailing consonant thing may be useful to you as well (I speak pretty quickly) for similar reasons.<p>Free thought, worth exactly what you paid, but hopefully it'll turn out helpful to somebody reading this :D
I was eager to work on this because at some level you will definitely be able to apply Reinforcement Learning but I was worried that OpenAI would definitely jump into this.<p>And it seems that they are focussing on tasks :<p><a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/openai-shifts-ai-battleground-to-software-that-operates-devices-automates-tasks?rc=zbgu7x" rel="nofollow">https://www.theinformation.com/articles/openai-shifts-ai-bat...</a>
Congrats on the launch! I noticed OpenAI API calls are embedded into your pricing model, which tells me your current use cases are built heavily around AI (and your name). Are you concerned that as you grow, OpenAI is just going to become another node and not the prime focus of your users?<p>It seems like its prioritization is just an assumption you may have to pivot from.
One piece of feedback: the landing page looks really nice and features a picture of a workflow with web scraping, which is something I’m actually looking for. But then I go to the templates and search web scraper and nothing comes up. Am I doing something wrong or looking for the wrong term?
This reminds me of Floneum (<a href="https://github.com/floneum/floneum">https://github.com/floneum/floneum</a>), this open-sourced tool for graph-based workflows using local LLMs.<p>More for personal use and not quite as polished but a decent alternative for those looking to play around with the idea locally.
Congrats on the launch!<p>I am wondering about your pricing and how you imagine your tool being used with so few requests... I might manually use 150 GPT4 requests in a day... but your $97/mo plan includes 150/mo?
Very Cool, one of the missing pieces to AI being useful in business tasks is dynamic internal validation steps. I would suggest adding a couple of those out of the box. For example if the user expect JSON format out of the LLM, add a validation step that send the output back to the LLM to ask it if it is actually JSON. Then you can expand on that to more validations like "is the output polite". The ultimate solution is having the LLM build the validations itself.
I tried the one YouTube to TikTok and I got this error :-(<p>" Generate Image Failed!
Error code: 400 - {'error': {'code': 'content_policy_violation', 'message': 'Your request was rejected as a result of our safety system. Your prompt may contain text that is not allowed by our safety system.', 'param': None, 'type': 'invalid_request_error'}}"
I really like the presentation, it’s slick and easy to read.<p>It’s a bit like <a href="https://github.com/omnitool-ai/onnitool">https://github.com/omnitool-ai/onnitool</a> (plus cloud hosted, minus the extensions) or <a href="https://nodered.org" rel="nofollow">https://nodered.org</a> but focused on AI.<p>How do you handle prompt injection (e.g. in a linkedin profile) ?
Friendly heads up- on mobile, the movable canvas like on <a href="https://www.agenthub.dev/templates/sales_crm/sales_forecasting">https://www.agenthub.dev/templates/sales_crm/sales_forecasti...</a> is very low performance / choppy (on iPhone 13 Pro anyway).<p>Not sure if that's supposed to be clickable, but doesn't seem to be on mobile either
Looks cool! At a glance seems kinda similar to Leap AI [0] which I've been following for a bit now -- I'm curious how you guys differentiate from competitors? Is it mainly the "no-code" aspect?<p>[0] <a href="https://www.tryleap.ai/" rel="nofollow">https://www.tryleap.ai/</a>
Just an idea if it’s aimed at non-technical users, maybe don’t use a dot Dev domain because that may turn them off. Of course I have no idea about your user base so I’m probably totally wrong on that and your dev probably attracts your actual customers. just an idea.
This is very nice. The UI could use some polish.<p>Having to drag everything is kind of annoying. I would like to have double clicked as an action to add automations to agents as well. The design is nice, but could use some work on smaller in between view ports.
The idea of making agents like CrewAI easier to quickly prototype is great.<p>It’s unclear though from the landing page how this is different from Make. All of the examples are things that could be done using the OpenAI node in Make / Zapier / n8n.
The theme of your logo is similar to Zapier's latest design with the underscore. If you plan on rebranding, I might consider including that detail in your discussion.
I'm noting you are using this as an example<p><a href="https://www.agenthub.dev/templates/hr_hiring/linkedin_profile_processor">https://www.agenthub.dev/templates/hr_hiring/linkedin_profil...</a><p>LLMS are not capable of unbiased scoring, no matter how much you prompt them. Anyone using this would be vulnerable to anti discrimination lawsuits as it is trivially provable that the workflow indeed is biased.<p>And frankly, this is disgusting tech bro behavior. LLMs are incapable of grading without bias.<p><a href="https://www.agenthub.dev/templates/education/automated_grading_system">https://www.agenthub.dev/templates/education/automated_gradi...</a>
The demo YouTube video that you have added to this post, is marked ‘made for children’. It limits us from Adding the video to a playlist, commenting and other features that general YouTube allows us to do.<p>Could you change the settings for the demo video, so that we can easily share it?
