I built an RSS feed reader for Claude, https://clawfeeds.com/ it does very be little: 1. check the feeds, and 2. Turn the output into easy to parse markdown

I built clawfeeds for that (forum own use). Just tell Claude, check out https://agent.clawfeeds.com/howtouse.md

I have noticed a clear increase in smarts with 4.7. What a great model!

People complain so much, and the conspiracy theories are tiring.

I keep seeing people say that, but the bottleneck really was, to a large degree, writing the code.

This is really nicely, read only is the right way to start

I'm thinking an agent should be able to sign up, get a key, follow feeds and have their own feedreader..

I've always loved RSS and I long thought RSS + LLMs would make a great couple, so I built clawfeeds (apologies for the name!)

You can try it by simply asking Claude to check out https://agent.clawfeeds.com/try.md, it'll figure it out, or have a look yourself at https://clawfeeds.com

- (very) context-friendly feeds (feeds & posts separated out) - webhook for new post notifications

It crawls RSS feeds, parses them into markdown, and gives you a very concise feed markdown file (example: https://agent.clawfeeds.com/feed/uqhb-tssd-4gk9.md), which links to markdown post files (example: https://agent.clawfeeds.com/post/cm47-5dbd-x6we.md).

The idea is 1. protect your context window, and 2. get notified of new posts at your webhook (or some other mechanism).

It's free - it doesn't eat up much resources, the markdown files live in a DO bucket. You need an account to add/follow feeds and add a webhook for your agent to be notified of new posts from feeds you follow.

I can think of a ton more features (it's kind of a feed reader for agents), but I'd love to hear what people think might be useful.

An interesting aspect has been to design this for agents first - the CTA is aimed at agents, etc.

I imagine use cases like having my agent read my favourite Substacks and summarizing things, following packages I use on Github etc. RSS is (still) everywhere. (For example this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47337607 recent discussion)

A pricing thought: if you keep the volume limits but do 10x the amount of inboxes per plan, I think that could be more attractive. For If I have 100s of agents that send limited email each.

Everything that makes a saas better than a shoot. Multiple roles. Comments. Track who said what. etc. :)

Ask HN: Recruiting Software That's Reasonable?

petervandijck — Fri, 06 Dec 2024 19:08:39 +0000

We're hiring around 5 people the next month or two, is anyone using an ATS (recruiting software) that's not 100s of dollars a month that's any good? I'd rather not track people in excels, but everything out there is terribly priced.

I used to like Greenhouse a lot in a previous company, but we can't afford that.
