Ask HN: Why AI companies so limited?

You’d think with all the hype and money flowing into these companies, they’d actually come up with something revolutionary. Instead, we see yet another note-taking tool. Another rent-seeking middleman. Another iteration of something that already exists—just with fewer people employed, because costs were cut.

Where is the equivalent of building semiconductors for this era? Where is the leap from a horse to the Model T? And if that’s too hard, why not go after industries everyone hates—like U.S. health insurance? Where are the AI companies burning billions to make healthcare as cheap and accessible as an iPhone?

Setting aside the industrial copyright theft issues, it would be one thing if “AI bros” were actually delivering something that changed society for the better. But instead, it feels like AI is not only large-scale copyright theft, but also, for the most part, useless.

Show HN: AI agentic, no-code platform for automated forex trading

We just launched OrynTrade — think of it as TradingView, but with AI agents built-in, focused entirely on forex traders (for now).

Why we built this: Most traders use TradingView to chart and test ideas, but turning those ideas into automated strategies still requires coding, custom integrations, or buying opaque black-box bots. We wanted a platform that combines charting + AI guidance + live execution in one place.

What it does today: • TradingView-style charting — real-time forex data with the indicators you already use. • AI strategy agents — instead of coding, you describe rules (e.g., “Buy when RSI crosses 30 and MACD turns positive”), and an AI agent helps structure, refine, and validate them. • Instant backtesting — run those strategies across years of historical forex data. • Deploy as trading agents — launch agents that trade automatically through our paper trading and broker integration (not available in beta as we are still working out broker integrations). • Transparency — you see exactly why an agent takes each trade (no black box).

Who it’s for: • Traders who use TradingView but wish it could trade for them. • People curious about algorithmic trading but don’t want to learn Pine Script or Python. • Forex traders looking for structure, consistency, and automation.

How it’s different: • AI agents baked in — guiding you step by step, not just charting. • End-to-end — from idea → backtest → live agent, all in one platform. • Forex-first — built around the quirks of forex markets, prop challenges, and 24/5 trading.

We’re in early beta, and would love HN’s feedback: • What pain points do you hit with TradingView or algo tools today? • Which integrations (stocks, crypto, more brokers) would you want next? • How much “AI help” feels useful vs. too much?
