we are building https://www.d5s.tech, using our own software to automate our own company (the boring bits)! having a blast doing it and steadily automating more and more

and... whenever i have some spare gpt-6 astra left i am working on a R.U.S.E reimplementation alongside some other threejs experiments

Show HN: D5s, an AI coworking space for people and agents

mhog_hn — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 16:17:27 +0000

Hi HN, I’m Michael. Theodore and I are the co-founders of d5s, the multiplayer AI for cross-human-agent collaboration, and we’re building it together.

We’re building d5s with d5s. From day one, we’ve created dedicated workspaces for engineering, go-to-market, finance, and other parts of the company. Each workspace has a few coworkers helping with the day-to-day, with access only to what they need. They work with us through Slack and Gmail.

As a startup, we’ve found this incredibly useful. Our coworkers take care of repeatable work across marketing, invoice processing, and other operational areas.

We believe this is how every company will work in the near future: people set direction and make decisions in shared workspaces, while agentic coworkers move the work forward.

We’re opening early access now. The first teams to sign up will get a free early-access plan with credits included, so they can start using d5s immediately.

We’ll be here to answer technical questions and share what has and hasn’t worked for us.

Any tips for a 2 person European company. One founder based in Amsterdam, the other in London. We are close to setting things up, some input from other founders would be great

At d5s.tech we are recreating the layers built on top of models, working on dogfooding our own product to run a large chunk of the company.

I feel extremely strongly that a future in which most companies depend on one or two large AI-megacorps is going to lead to excessive rent seeking sooner or later.

I remain positive that the long term steady state will consist of proprietary models, -but- with open source AI models statistically close.

If compute keeps growing the relative cost of training current frontier models will decrease. An open source Fable/Mythos model simply seems inevitable.

But what if the AI agent has a 5% chance of adding a bug to that feature? Surely before any feature was completely bug free

It is the same with the global financial system

Amazing. Would be cool to see agents end up trading at varrock bank like during the old days. Sort of a facebook/moltbook equivalent - wonder how genuine it would feel

Imagine throwing orders of magnitude more of compute at things - we may have things like a monte carlo tree search for LLM outputs using an LLMJudge that prunes the tree.

On the one hand it is a wholesome article. On the other hand - so much wasted potential of people squeezing out the last bits when competing. Nash equilibria can suck

An agent is an LLM + a tool call loop - it is quite a step up in terms of value in my experience

Agents with their agent money - get ready for new legal structures and a bifurcation of the economy: agentic and human.

Who knows…
