In a former cattle field in rural central Texas, a startup called Starfront has quietly built what it claims is the world’s largest remote telescope observatory by number of scopes.
The facility houses more than 400 telescopes, most of which belong to Starfront’s customers—hobbyist astronomers and space-focused businesses who pay for scope-docking space in one of the company’s 11 observatory buildings. Essentially, it’s a data center for the night sky:

Your AI agent hits an infinite loop and racks up $2000 in API charges overnight. This happens weekly to AI developers.
AgentGuard monitors API calls in real-time and automatically kills your process when it hits your budget limit.
How it works:
Add 2 lines to any AI project:
const agentGuard = require('agent-guard');
await agentGuard.init({ limit: 50 }); // $50 budget
// Your existing code runs unchanged
const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({...})

Hey HN! My name is Christian, and I’m the co-founder of https://frigade.ai. We’ve built an AI agent that automatically learns how to use any web-based product, and in turn guides users directly in the UI, automatically generates documentation, and even takes actions on a user’s behalf. Think of it as Clippy from the old MS Office. But on steroids. And actually helpful.
Hey HN,
We are Winston, Edward, and James, and we built Meka Agent, an open-source framework that lets vision-based LLMs execute tasks directly on a computer, just like a person would.

As such, we've been working on a browsing agent.
