Half my requests get retried because they fail, I've contributed to a ticket in June, with no fix yet.

I quit my job to work to create a story game powered by AI. We have a few agents that are in charge of memories, perception, and unlocking game achievements. If that sounds cool you can give it a try here: https://k58.duya.io

Thank you so much, I appreciate it! I've actually quit my job to build games!

Show HN: K-58 – a story game powered by AI

I've been working on a game for the last few weeks, it's called Kettle-Station K-58 and is about talking to Alex, a space courier resting at your remote asteroid stop.

The goal is to build enough trust with Alex to get him to open up about his hidden backstory.

Alex is powered by a few AI agents that handle memories, intimacy, and achievements. The achievements agent analyzes the conversation and, when it's relevant, gives Alex new lore and unlocks the corresponding achievement.

You can actually see the agents think in real time by pressing F1 on desktop.

I've got lots of features planned such as speech-to-text, mobile apps, more characters, and maybe even a collaboration with an existing license!

This is a really exciting project! I love how it makes each message feel more valuable, like modern-day letters, but more convenient.

I've just released a little story game where the goal is to build trust with the main character to uncover his backstory. And now I'm trying to figure out how to get the word out, which I have 0 experience doing! https://k58.duya.io

You will find many agents that solved (e.g., finished, reached high score) atari games, but there is still so much more work to do in the field. I wrote my Master's thesis on how to learn from few interactions with the game, so that if the algorithm is ported to actual robots they don't need to walk and fall for centuries before learning behaviors. I think there is more research to do on higher levels of generalization: when you know how to play a few video games, you quickly understand how to play a new one intuitively, and I haven't seen thorough research on that.

My team’s building micro AI agents that perform very specific tasks really well. Right now, we see ourselves more as a consulting firm, developing custom agents while we search for the right vertical to specialize in. Eventually, we’d love to turn that into a SaaS product. We only have demos to show yet, but I’d be happy to chat more about it :)

I discovered Gemini is quite good at roasting websites so I put up a little demo on HF spaces if you want to try it out.

I quit my job last December to start an AI x AdTech startup which didn't work out: we discovered a similar piece of tech was about to get released by Google AdX. So now it's back to finding ideas, I'm sure there are niche problems that can be addressed using AI agents, one idea we have is developing an AI agent enabling content creators to better connect with their community.
