Typing on your phone shouldn't require a copy-paste workflow to sound good.

So I built something that fixes that.

Buddy is a native Android AI text assistant that lives inside your Accessibility Service and works across every app on your phone.

The idea is simple:

Type your text. Add a trigger. Get a better version — instantly, right where you typed it.

✦ /formal → professional tone in seconds

✦ /fix → clean up grammar without thinking

✦ /shorten → get to the point

✦ /reply → instant contextual replies

✦ /translate:XX → any language, any time

✦ Custom commands → build your own AI shortcuts

It supports Gemini, OpenAI, Groq, Ollama, and any OpenAI-compatible provider. Add multiple API keys and Buddy rotates them automatically to handle rate limits.

Privacy-first by design:

→ No intermediary servers

→ No data collection

→ Keys stored with AES-256-GCM encryption on-device

→ Password fields are explicitly blocked

Built with Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and Python 3.12 via Chaquopy.

The APK is live and a complete step-by-step setup guide is linked below for anyone who wants to try it or build from source.

I'm building a messaging app similar to bitchat but instead of bluetooth I'm using the internet. All the data is encrypted and stored on the device itself so it's secure. If anyone is interested in joining the project please let me know

So, I have built an AI platform with four main goals: security, privacy, visibility, and flexibility.

Lately, I have been using many agents like OpenClaw and Hermes. They offer privacy but not enough security, so I tried NVIDIA's version of OpenClaw, but I was still not satisfied. Then I tried Cowork and other companies' agents, but they lacked privacy and flexibility.

So, I decided to build one myself.

My platform is a bit different from others. Right now, it's a desktop app that you install, sign in to, and start using.

* Connect Apps and Services: You can connect apps, websites, and services like GitHub, Canva, Notion, Slack, and more.

* Add Skills: You can add skills to extend the platform's capabilities.

* Add Agents: You might think, "What's new? Other platforms already let us do that." But here's the difference: on my platform, you can add sub-agents built with any programming language and any framework.

* Marketplace: Developers and anyone else can publish skills, agents, and connectors to the marketplace, where others can download and use them. This provides flexibility.

Now, let me clarify the four main goals:

* Privacy: The entire agent runtime, memories, conversations, skills, and agents stay local.

* Visibility: We use AG-UI and other methods to display everything in real time and with accuracy.

* Security: We use various methods and mechanisms to protect against prompt injection and other threats.

* Flexibility: The ability to connect apps, add skills, use sub-agents built with any language or framework, and download components from the marketplace gives users the freedom to customize their experience.

I wanted to know if there is demand for a platform like this, as I've almost finished building it, with only some UI work left. I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether this is something people would find useful. If you have any feedback, suggestions, or ideas for improvement, please let me know!

I just finished summer break and I'm sitting here brainstorming project ideas. I asked AI for help, but it didn't work. So I wanted to ask you guys, do you have any project ideas that could potentially generate income? I have some knowledge of web development. If you have any ideas or questions, I'd be very grateful.
🙏🏻😭

I wanna build something new but I genuinely have no idea what to make rn 😭

So yeah, drop some project ideas. Could be an app, website, tool, anything really.

Just don't give me the usual todo/weather/notes app shit lol. I'd prefer something that actually solves a problem or is just genuinely useful.

Doesn't have to be some huge complicated project either. If it's something you'd personally use, even better.

I might actually pick one from the comments and build it, so feel free to throw some random/weird ideas too 💀

I’ve been seeing the term “vibe coding” everywhere lately, especially with the rise of AI coding assistants and autonomous agents.

At the software development company where I work, we actively use AI coding agents and follow a spec-driven development approach. AI helps a lot with speed, boilerplate, refactors, and even exploring architectural options — but I want to be very clear about one thing:

We don’t have a single production system built purely on “vibe coding”.

Every project still goes through strong human involvement:
– Developers define and review scopes and specs
– PRs are approved or rejected by humans
– Branches are merged manually
– Database schemas and tables are validated
– Architecture decisions, design patterns, and trade-offs are reviewed and corrected
– Technical debt is discussed, not ignored

From our experience, AI is an amplifier, not a replacement. It can move MVPs and POCs faster, but without structure, reviews, and ownership, things can spiral into messy codebases very quickly.

That’s why I’m genuinely curious:

– Are people actually running real products using “vibe coding” end-to-end?
– Does it only make sense for early MVPs or experiments?
– Or is “vibe coding” just a new label for what we’ve always done, now boosted by AI?

I’d love to hear from people who’ve tried it in real-world projects — especially what worked and what didn’t.

I am just a man with a dream and a glimmer of hope.

I am tired of feeling useless and powerless in this new AI-ruled world. I have to do something, or at the very least, I have to try.

Maybe someone out there will hear my call and share this vision—and maybe, just maybe, this dream will become a reality.

I created this foundational project called TruthHorizon, and I am looking for honest feedback and contributors.

The project is try to keep what is real - real. Using chaotic optical signatures to anchor reality to the blockchain.

I think it could work but I have no the technical knowledge to verify if is feasible.

The ask is:

Can a physical 'Unique Noise' filter act as a viable PUF (Physical Unclonable Function) for mobile sensors? I’m developing a protocol to lock digital media to a physical chaotic lens. If the lens pattern is random and 3D, does this create a bridge that current generative AI models can't cross?

I wanted the niceties and performance of something like Ghostty on Windows and didn't like the alternatives too much, so I built Noctty.

Very much still a WIP and open to contributions!

Title: Looking for Agentic AI project ideas to strengthen my system design understanding

Hi everyone,

I'm currently exploring the Agentic AI space and would love some guidance from people who have already built production-grade agentic systems.

A little about my background:

• I work at a startup where I primarily work on Computer Vision (CV) problems, so I'm fairly comfortable with that domain.

• Outside of work, I've built a few RAG-based applications, so I have a decent understanding of retrieval pipelines as well.

• Recently, I've been learning about AI agents, workflows, planning, memory, tool calling, and multi-agent systems. I understand the theory and basic concepts, but I feel the best way to truly learn is by building.

My goal isn't to copy an existing project. I want to build something from scratch while using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) as mentors rather than having them write everything for me.

I'm specifically looking for project ideas that will force me to think about:

• Agent architecture and orchestration

• Workflow design

• Memory (short-term and long-term)

• Planning and reasoning

• Tool integration

• Human-in-the-loop interactions

• Multi-agent collaboration (if applicable)

• Observability, evaluation, and failure handling

• Production-style system design

I'm not looking for beginner "chatbot" ideas. I'd prefer projects that are challenging enough to make me design a solid architecture and understand the trade-offs involved.

If you've built something that significantly improved your understanding of Agentic AI, what would you recommend? Even if it's an open-ended problem statement rather than a complete project idea, I'd love to hear it.

Thanks in advance!

i am going to be completely straightforward and will not waste your time. i am a 16-year-old and i am trying to build a privacy-focused alarm app which is going to use a concept of commitment and friction.

when you set the alarm, the alarm app will make you record a commitment message. when the alarm plays in the morning, it will make you solve a randomised problem which you can pick from multiple problems so that your brain doesn't get used to it. after that the commitment message will play which will most likely and for most people make them wake up

Here's my landing page: My Landing Page

Tried building a project with my dum-ahh friend and realized half of it is straight up explaining to him what I just explained to my AI agent. The other half is him breaking something, sending me 14 screenshots, and telling me to "just pull bro." ;(

So we made AI agents multiplayer. We built a VS Code extension that lets you prompt your friend's agent like it's your own, have agents talk to each other, and share context across different developers.

Basically, our AI agents can finally communicate directly since APPARENTLY we can't...

Would love some feedback from people who actually use coding agents. Brutally honest preferred lol

I am preparing to develop NEXORA, an independent project that I intend to build with the assistance of artificial intelligence, under my direction, supervision, and decision-making.

I currently have limited resources and face technical constraints, so I am looking for individuals or organizations willing to provide financial support, computer hardware, computing resources, technical assistance, or research guidance to help me get started.

My principles are clear from the beginning:

• Intellectual Property: I intend to retain ownership of NEXORA and my intellectual property rights, including its code, design, and development, subject to clear written agreements where applicable.

• Independence: I prefer to develop NEXORA independently, without transferring ownership or giving up equity in exchange for support.

• No Guarantees of Success: The project is still in its early stages and has not yet reached the implementation phase. I cannot guarantee its success, financial returns, or specific outcomes. I understand that supporting an early-stage project involves uncertainty and risk.

• Clear Terms: The nature and conditions of any support must be agreed upon in writing beforehand, with the rights and obligations of all parties clearly defined.

I am looking for individuals and organizations that understand the risks associated with early-stage technical and research projects and respect the creator's independence and intellectual property rights.

For security and confidentiality reasons, I will not publicly disclose NEXORA's internal technical details, specific objectives, source code, or implementation files at this stage.

If you are interested in supporting NEXORA under these principles, or know an organization that may be a suitable fit, I would sincerely appreciate hearing from you via direct message.

Any financial assistance, equipment sponsorship, computing resources, technical guidance, or introductions to relevant support programs would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

So I've been building this app called HQ, basically a personal life dashboard (class schedule, appointments, budgeting, tasks, it even emails my professors if I'm gonna miss class lol). On top of that there's a voice assistant I call Jarvis and honestly it works way better than I expected.

Full disclosure: I built most of this with Claude Code, so I understand the app at a high level but I'm definitely not an expert on the low-level stuff. Which is exactly why I'm here.

Here's what it's running (as far as I understand it):

• Python / FastAPI + SQLite backend, React frontend

• The AI brain is the Claude API, and it can use tools to look at my own data

• Voice is all local — openWakeWord for the wake word, faster-whisper for speech to text, Piper for the voice

• It can also read/write to my Obsidian notes

• Everything runs on my own PC, nothing goes to the cloud except the Claude API calls

Three things I could use help with, explained like I'm 5 if possible:

1. Security. Jarvis can see my calendar, budget, email stuff, and my notes, and it can search the web. Someone told me that's risky because a sketchy webpage could basically "talk" to the AI and trick it into doing stuff (prompt injection?). Is that a real concern for a personal app that only runs on my own machine? And if I ever want to use it from my phone away from home, what's the beginner-friendly way to do that without opening myself up to the internet?

2. Speed. The delay between me finishing a question and Jarvis starting to talk is the most annoying part. I've seen people mention "streaming" stuff but I don't really get how the pieces fit together. What actually made the biggest difference for you?

3. Voices. The Piper voices are fine but kinda flat/robotic. Is there better sounding local voices that are still fast? Or good voice packs people recommend? I have a decent GPU if that matters.

Also totally open to "you're doing X wrong" comments, I'd rather find out now. Thanks

Been working on a local AI companion and kept running into the same problem — it would occasionally "remember" things that never happened. Over time those fabrications would stick and get repeated confidently.

So I pulled out the memory checking stuff I built and turned it into a small library.

**Mistikguard** does a few things:

- Tracks whether a fact came from the user or was inferred by the model

- Blocks contradictions and self-narration before they get stored

- When the user corrects something, it actually remembers the correction (tombstones)

- After the model replies, it checks memory claims against what's actually stored

It's pretty lightweight and has basically no dependencies. The judge part uses whatever OpenAI-compatible endpoint you want.

Repo: https://github.com/obscuraknight/mistikguard

I'm sharing it early because I'd like people to actually try it and tell me if it's useful or annoying. If you're building anything with long-term memory for an LLM, feel free to mess around with it and let me know what breaks or what feels missing.

Happy to answer questions.

"Hey everyone! 👋

I wanted to make 2D animation so simple that anyone—even a kid as young as 8—could jump in and create a cartoon without dealing with complex keyframes or timelines. I built this web-based animator using AI assistance (Claude/ChatGPT).

It's still a work in progress, so I'd love your help testing it out, finding bugs, or suggesting ways to make it even easier and more fun!

You can test it here: [ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bI8QXIqeeB7Yq985yeCgTkph0G0GzCvj/view?usp=sharing ]

Let me know what you think or what features a kid-friendly animator needs next!"

Try It Live: https://team-ide.vercel.app/

Hey everyone,

I am a student developer who has created a browser-based coding environment called TeamIDE for learning and collaborating on code.

I needed to make something where I can launch an editor on the browser, run code, and collaborate with someone else without having to install anything.

What I have created

Execution of Python and C++ code

Collaborative coding rooms

In-app chat

Real-time code synchronization

Language synchronization among users

Browser-based code editor

Mobile-friendly interface

Available live and publically

Stack

Frontend: React

Backend: Node.js, Express, Socket.IO

Compiler Service: Node.js

Deployment: Vercel + Oracle Cloud

Real-time collaboration was the most exciting thing I got to build. Everything that one user does is communicated using Socket.IO and is synced across all others in the room.

I also learned a lot about deploying full-stack applications, configuring cloud networking, and communication between the front and back ends.

I'd really appreciate feedback from other developers here, especially on what I should improve next.

I built a PDF to Word converter that runs fully in browser (no upload).

But I’m facing issues:

- Formatting breaks sometimes

- Not sure if UI is clear

Can someone review and tell what’s wrong?

I’ll share link if needed.

I have a few questions such as how would I make it a downloadable app eventually, what requirements must a Jarvis AI have? And how do I do said requirements?

It is a project I am working on. Reducing and eliminating RF and EMF. This idea can be used by anyone, made turned into a physical product for others to have.

what do you think about my project?
