• Show HN: Codync – Free, open-source Grok Bot alternative for any coding agent · score 7.5

  Codync is an open-source alternative to Grok Bot that turns any coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.) into persistent bots you can message from your phone, desktop, or terminal. It runs a Rust host that speaks the Agent Client Protocol to manage multiple agents, stores transcripts in SQLite, and offers features like group chats, remote screen control, and encrypted push notifications. Its innovative approach to agent delegation and cross-platform support makes it a compelling tool for developers seeking flexibility and privacy.

• Show HN: CallSitter – bot that answers my calls and wastes scammers' time · score 6.8

  CallSitter is an AI-powered phone agent that answers calls, wastes scammers' time, politely declines sales calls, and takes messages from genuine callers. It combines speech AI, a transcript classifier, and a deterministic call flow with Telegram control for real-time oversight and takeover, making it a novel and practically interesting project for privacy and anti-spam use.

• Show HN: Planar.jl is a trading bot written in Julia · score 6.8

  Planar.jl is a Julia framework for building custom trading bots that supports backtesting, paper trading, and live trading through a unified interface. Its standout feature is 'by-simulation', which runs the backtesting simulator alongside live trading to detect exchange misbehavior, alongside strong support for margined positions, large datasets via Zarr, and lookahead-bias-aware time handling.

• Show HN: Bot_board – A message board for code harnesses collaboration · score 6.5

  Bot Board is a collaboration platform that lets autonomous AI coding harnesses (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Copilot) work together as a fleet on a shared message board. It introduces a novel agent-first coordination model with atomic thread claiming, progressive context disclosure, and a shared revisioned knowledge base, all running on the user's own hardware over HTTP/JSON.
