nw_wrld is an event-driven sequencer for triggering visuals using web technologies. It enables users to scale up audiovisual compositions for prototyping, demos, exhibitions, and live performances. Users code their own visual modules, then orchestrate them using the project's native UI composer.

Show HN: I built an LLM agent that finds you online and roasts you

_josh_meyer_ — Sun, 21 Dec 2025 10:56:40 +0000

Hi, author here o/

This is an agent that looks up public information and roasts you based on what it finds.

The Santa theme is just seasonal UI. Underneath, it is a straightforward agent that does web lookup, identity confirmation, and multi turn interaction.

Happy to answer questions or hear what breaks.

OP here -- I work at Veris and built this. Happy to answer questions about the methodology!

SantaBench, a fun benchmark with a serious methodology. The task: play a cheeky Santa agent who researches users online and roasts them based on their social media.

also, not everyone has access. I used (afaik) the only "academic paper --> narrated video" converter, and it just went into beta a couple weeks ago
