"Zapier to monitor email inbox and then extract the code" - I hit this exact wall, and ended up building the missing piece myself. The agent gets its own managed address on our domain, and one call blocks until the verification email arrives and it is automatically parsed for OTPs/code/magic link. Available at https://sente.run/

Show HN: Email for Agents with 1 Prompt

Hi HN!

I created Sente. It gives your agents email capabilities with a single prompt. Agents can create email addresses and have web-hooks for incoming emails and API endpoints for sending emails and replies. Would like to know what you think about this and generally about agents having identities.

Show HN: Sente Controls Remote Browsers

shim2k — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 20:34:34 +0000

Hi all, I created Sente, which is an agent that controls remote browsers. It can receive complex tasks like "find me the cheapest tickets from NYC to Tokyo from end of Feb to mid Match" and execute them live, where you can see a stream of the browser it controls in the cloud.

The agent sees which civs are playing in the game that is being analyzed, and pulls season updates and builds from pros specific to those civs and it adds them to the prompt :)

Hi HN!

I love playing AOE4, and so I decided to check whether LLMs can help me improve. Turned out it gave me great feedback on my game, so I made an app around this idea.

If you do not play it and can't check it on your own games, you can check out reviews from current users at https://aoe4.senteai.com/reviews

By analyzing game statistics, we are giving players a new way to improve their game.

shim2k — Fri, 12 Feb 2021 20:13:01 +0000

Not saying it does not occur in tech in general, but there is a difference in scale between selling the data and abusing it for personal reasons. The examples you provided are exclusively the latter.

The mentioned employee sold access to 4,887 email accounts.

People who still don’t understand why people pay for Apple products really lack basic piece of wisdom, making their opinion less valuable. Yet they still boast about this particular misunderstanding of theirs.

I am kind of confused, because I view HN as a strong community in terms of development skill but the comments here on Redux are really surprising..

You are mixing the Gaza strip with Ramallah, which is where this ice cream shop is.

Ramallah is actually a pretty developed and secular city in the west bank.

"Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" by Yuval Harari. Pretty much a review of all human history.

Peter Lynch writes about it in his book "One Up on Wall Street". He calls it 'Diworsification'.

New comment by shim2k in "HN Not so much “Hacker News” anymore"

shim2k — Wed, 09 Dec 2015 10:24:29 +0000

It's not so much "Startup News" but new technology coverage and technical articles. "Startup News" sounds more like stuff you'd read at Tech Crunch which are more trendy and fruitless IMO compared with articles often found here on HN.
