- Show HN: Lean4 Datalog DSL Based on Google Zanzibar for AI Projects
hn-ai· 29-jul
Google Zanzibar datalog lang lets you describe concepts and express how they are related. I generalize it to DSL you can use on Lean4 (and other languages) this lets you represent a knowledge base you can construct, store and evaluate, have it under git and improve without big engines or relaying on external infrastructure.

- Show HN: Magpie, a CLI to Turn Your AI Agent into a Bookkeeper
hn-ai· 28-jul
Hi HN, Annoucing the release of Magpie, a CLI tool which turns your AI agent into an expert bookkeeper, based on Jaybase. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48999936) As someone who owns a small, tech business, I have very simple books. somewhere between 10-30 transactions a month, a few depreciation line items, and a couple budgets to monitor. So it always bothered be that I was paying hundreds of dollars per year for software, and maybe a live bookeeper on top of that, just to keep these simple things in order, because I didn't have the mental bandwidth to do it myself. So I built Magpie. Magpie is a simple, opinionated CLI that runs on top of Jaybase to allow any popular AI agent to do proper double entry bookkeeping. It enforces standard accounting rules, stores everything securely…

Question is specifically for GTM engineers and performance marketers. Curious if any agentic AI ad optimization tools have actually worked for you? I tried PMax on Google Ads and our sign ups increased but pipeline didn't move (most sign ups weren't relevant audience). I am evaluating Factors and Pixis. Curious what else should I look at?

- Show HN: MetrIQ – An AI fitness coach who supports you
hn-ai· 29-jul
metrIQ started as a spreadsheet for my own training. The numbers were fine, but a spreadsheet never tells you anything — it just holds what you typed. So I switched to asking ChatGPT. It could explain things, but it forgot my history, answered the same question differently on different days, couldn't give me the stats I wanted, and buried it all in generic advice. I wanted a coach who remembered me. So I built my own. The first version was a rough thing in Lovable, mostly because I wanted an excuse to try it. Then friends started using it, it actually helped them, and I rebuilt the whole app properly for launch. That's metrIQ. It's Sophia, your coach. A sentence is enough to log something, and unlike a chatbot she remembers your goals, your weeks and what went sideways last month. Her tar…
