Hi HN!

I'm the author of an Elixir Agent Framework called Jido. We reached our 2.0 release this week, shipping a production-hardened framework to build, manage and run Agents on the BEAM.

Jido now supports a host of Agentic features, including:

- Tool Calling and Agent Skills - Comprehensive multi-agent support across distributed BEAM processes with Supervision - Multiple reasoning strategies including ReAct, Chain of Thought, Tree of Thought, and more - Advanced workflow capabilities - Durability through a robust Storage and Persistence layer - Agentic Memory - MCP and Sensors to interface with external services - Deep observability and debugging capabilities, including full stack OTel

I know Agent Frameworks can be considered a bit stale, but there hasn't been a major release of a framework on the BEAM. With a growing realization that the architecture of the BEAM is a good match for Agentic workloads, the time was right to make the announcement.

My background is enterprise engineering, distributed systems and Open Source. We've got a strong and growing community of builders committed to the Jido ecosystem. We're looking forward to what gets built on top of Jido!

Come build agents with us!

Title: Show HN: PageAgent, A GUI agent that lives inside your web app

Hi HN,

I'm building PageAgent, an open-source (MIT) library that embeds an AI agent directly into your frontend.

I built this because I believe there's a massive design space for deploying general agents natively inside the web apps we already use, rather than treating the web merely as a dumb target for isolated bots.

Currently, most AI agents operate from external clients or server-side programs, effectively leaving web development out of the AI ecosystem. I'm experimenting with an "inside-out" paradigm instead. By dropping the library into a page, you get a client-side agent that interacts natively with the live DOM tree and inherits the user's active session out of the box, which works perfectly for SPAs.

To handle cross-page tasks, I built an optional browser extension that acts as a "bridge". This allows the web-page agent to control the entire browser with explicit user authorization. Instead of a desktop app controlling your browser, your web app is empowered to act as a general agent that can navigate the broader web.

I'd love to start a conversation about the viability of this architecture, and what you all think about the future of in-app general agents. Happy to answer any questions!
