Show HN: Giselle – open-source visual editor for building AI workflows

codenote — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 00:30:12 +0000

GitHub: https://github.com/giselles-ai/giselle

Giselle is an open source tool for designing and running AI workflows using a visual node-based editor. Apache 2.0 licensed.

Key features:

- Drag-and-drop workflow builder for chaining AI apps

- Multi-model support (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini) in one canvas

- GitHub integration for automating issues, PRs, and code reviews

- Built-in knowledge store with vector search

- Self-hostable with Docker or run locally

We built this because we needed a way to compose multiple AI models for complex tasks without writing glue code. The visual editor makes it easy to see the flow and debug when things go wrong.

Tech stack:

- Frontend: Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS

- Visual Node Editor: React Flow, Zustand, Tiptap

- AI: Vercel AI SDK, AI Gateway

- Database: PostgreSQL with Drizzle ORM

- Auth & Storage: Supabase

- Background Jobs: Trigger.dev (for long-running agent tasks)

- Analytics: PostHog

Happy to answer questions about the architecture or implementation.

Great! I tried it out by simply adding a prefix to the URL. I'm looking forward to comparison articles like "Alternative to Tavily" and "Alternative to Jina AI"!

It's very valuable that Swift codes is open-sourced under the MIT!

I came across a0.dev the other day, and I think your focus on Flutter specifically is a nice differentiator. I'll try it!

It's a great product overall! However, as others have mentioned, if it can't be open source and requires granting strong permissions, I'm concerned about the security implications.

Cool! As others have already commented, I'm curious about how well it can handle data access while considering the permissions of external services.

Our team was just exploring an approach to building an AI Agent Builder by making API calls via LLM, so this is very helpful. I'll give it a try!

I have the same issue. I'm curious to see how it's implemented, so I'll take a look at the source code.

Indeed, allowing users to try it through a demo product, rather than having them install a Chrome extension, makes it more accessible. This is insightful from a product marketing perspective. Thank you!

That's an interesting attempt! I think it's a good approach for prototyping using Gistr (https://www.getgistr.com/) Are you the developer of Gistr?

New comment by codenote in "Show HN: Steganographically encode messages with LLMs and Arithmetic Coding"

codenote — Fri, 14 Feb 2025 01:39:53 +0000

That’s a really fascinating approach! The idea of encoding secret messages into seemingly ordinary text using arithmetic coding and an LLM-based probability model is both clever and innovative. It’s impressive how this method allows for covert communication in public spaces while remaining indistinguishable from typical AI-generated content.

At the same time, it raises interesting discussions about both the ethical and security implications of such technology. Looking forward to seeing how this project evolves!

Interesting experiment! This feels like it could really expand the potential applications of LLMs. Exciting to see how AI can assist in debugging with live runtime context!

codenote — Wed, 12 Feb 2025 02:35:17 +0000

This is a great template! I think it will be helpful for engineers developing a web application with Next.js for the first time.

Also, I’m very happy that Stripe has been added to the template code. https://hiroppy.github.io/web-app-template/features/stripe.h...

Thank you for your response! It's great to hear that some companies have already set up the self-hosted version. I appreciate the information about the README file. I'll take a look. Looking forward to seeing how FoloUp evolves!

That's a great product! Is FoloUp already being used in your company, or do you have any case studies of its implementation?

Thank you! I’ll also try to focus on building a scalable architecture.

I thought it was a scale of code that could have been included in Abbe. https://github.com/US-Artificial-Intelligence/abbey

Was the motivation for separating it based on security considerations, as stated in the "Security Considerations"? https://github.com/US-Artificial-Intelligence/ScrapeServ?tab...

codenote — Thu, 06 Feb 2025 02:28:21 +0000

Backing up GitHub repositories is important, so I think this is a great tool! Currently, it is open-source only, but do you have any plans to commercialize it?

codenote — Wed, 05 Feb 2025 02:57:40 +0000

That's great! I'm also currently developing a product to execute workflows with AI agents, so I understand those challenges very well.

It's great that it's "open" and a public repository! Could you share any advantages your approach has over OpenAI's "Deep Research"? Also, if possible, I'd love to hear about the future prospects of Firecrawl.
