Totally agree! I’ve got scheduled agents that run (a little slowly) overnight using Qwen 3.8 27B that are ready for me by the morning. :)

Thanks for the question! I could maybe see that being the case for LangChain, specifically, if you’re just thinking about abstracting the LLM provider’s APIs. But here, we’re speci…

Oh neat - thank you for sharing! I hadn’t seen this before, but we were definitely inspired by a post LangChain made about “ambient agents”: https://www.langchain.com/blog/introduc…

Thanks! I think it depends on how well Pizza Bot aligns with your mental model. Despite living in Claude Code for many things, I find the email-like UX we built for Pizza Bot match…

Thanks for the question! Similar to another user’s comment about Paperclip, Herdr looks to provide a layer on top of existing agent harnesses, whereas with Pizza Bot, we run the ex…

Ah, this may actually work out of the box if you tell Pizza Bot to use its `task` tool to dynamically launch a subagent (which maps 1:1 with a Skill), and provide it with a `respon…

Author here - thanks so much for the great questions! Our post on the AWS Open Source blog has more screenshots and an architecture diagram if you want to give it a skim: https://a…

Thanks so much for the feedback! The README arguably needs a diagram that shows the orchestrator-subagent delegation pattern and how they map to Skills, since you’re right - it’s n…

@aaronax had a similar thought! In our case, we wanted to borrow the UX of email (to be intuitive to knowledge workers) but not necessarily the implementation. Full control of your…

Love it. Maybe "inbox zero" for agents would have been a better tagline! :)

Thanks! I'm not overly familiar with Paperclip, but from the website, it looks to provide orchestration over a fleet of existing agent harnesses, whereas with Pizza Bot, we run the…

There are so many! Personally, I’ve been able to get remarkably far with the built-in filesystem tools (courtesy of DeepAgents) paired with a web search MCP (Kagi is great!). Were …

You mean giving each agent its own real email address? Startups like AgentMail are certainly doing that! In our case, we wanted to borrow the UX of email (to be intuitive to knowle…

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll give GrokBot a closer look. We’re focused on being open source and decoupled from any particular model provider, but it’s great to see a lot of capabl…

It’s both! The Releases page indeed links to the Electron app so it’s easy to get started, but you can also run just the backend and web app separately. I have it running in a Dock…

Thanks for the question! Think of Pizza Bot as the "harness"/interface your agents actually run in. You'd still hook up Linear via their MCP server ( https://linear.app/docs/mcp ) …

Thanks! I was pleasantly surprised with how naturally a lot of email idioms seemed to align here. In retrospect, it makes sense if you think of human-to-agent communication as anot…

Hi HN - long-time lurker (since 2012!), first time poster. Pizza Bot is a self-hosted desktop app for Mac, Windows, and Linux that runs AI agents in the background and exposes them…

Author here - thanks for posting this! I’m planning to make a Show HN post tomorrow with lots of HN-friendly details. :)

Author here - thanks for posting this! Some context for the HN crowd -- Pizza Bot started as a hacky Playwright script I wrote at Amazon to stop manually logging CRM activities. It…
