Hi HN! I made Sitrep, which is an AI incident copilot that sites alongside you during incidents and watches your screen. You can chat with it, and ask questions ("what was that trace I saw?") and it uses vision to answer your questions, providing evidence. It can also integrate with existing observability tools too, I've added Grafana as an example. This means the agent can not only reference context from vision, but also verify context by using actual logs/traces. To avoid duplicate frames, it

Hi, I am a Solo developer and I have created a Chrome extension to help prevent email phishing in Gmail and Outlook. This extension tells you why an email has phishing signs and also blocks the phishing URL if it finds something suspicious. I am posting here to get feedback so I can improve my extension further. Although it's still in the early stages, I am improving it with time. If you guys could check it and give me any feedback, that would be very helpful for me. Anything good or bad is welc

I'm a director/exec, not a software engineer. Background's mostly data analytics, SQL and Excel day to day, some R and PostgreSQL. Years ago I could hack together basic HTML/CSS/PHP too. Got into AI early and now use ChatGPT and Claude constantly. With their help I've built a handful of web apps, some Python scripts and desktop tools, and an Android app on Supabase with real multiple users. So I can build things. But I'm very aware there are big holes underneath it. I can usually get something w

Hope this sparks some conversation. Interested to get the community's take on an app we use internally to find files and provide targeted file content to chatbots. Biggest gains in search are for windows users but I am interested to get feedback from the spotlight users. With the AI export we originally used and MCP connector but when back to drag and drop export of file content due to security and universal applicability. No worries about your file security.
