Saves developers pain of combining GenServers and Oban
From 1 comment
Love this! The timing couldn't be more perfect. I had to write my agent framework with a mix of gen servers and Oban. It's honestly a pain to deal with. This looks like it will…

ReqLLM is a key part of my stack, thank you for making it!
cpursley on HNVery eager to read through your code! I read the first version and incorporated several of its ideas into our own internal elixir agent framework. (We make use of your ReqLLM…

Agent orchestration is easy; useful applications and tool integration are the hard part
From 1 comment
cool Although... the agent orchestration is really the easy part. It is just a loop. You can solve this in many different ways and yes some languages are more suitable for this…

Screenshot or dashboard of BEAM processes in observer
From 2 comments
It'd be cool to see a screenshot of what 'observer' shows as the process tree with a few agents active.

Clarify security and secret isolation for agents

How does Jido compare with LangChain for Elixir
From 2 comments
Where does this stand in relation to LangChain? https://github.com/brainlid/langchain (Probably complimentary but wanted to check)
enraged_camel on HNElixir has a LangChain implementation by the same name. And in my opinion as a user of both, the Python version and the Elixir version, the Elixir version is vastly superior and…
