Real problems people complain about online, pulled every morning and scored out of 100. Build, validate, or skip. How scoring works
I've been working on Polign and built a small prototype around something I've been thinking about with agent memory. I have built a lightweight/stateless vector db + BM25 search which works really well with typed facts and structured queries.It uses your own S3, or GCS bucket as primary storage, and restarting a node is fairly quick.Demo + writeup: https://polign.com/blog-edge-agent-memoryLive search demo: https://demo.polign.comDocs: https://polign.com

Seven years in the making (I admit that I did get a kid at some point which slowed down progress and brought it to a halt quite a few times), I decided to finaly release it, with a rather drastic change to the now (I believe) generous licensing model.Unlike current major players in this field, I decided to go with uncrippled, free version for commercial use for corps with up to 1M USD ARR. I poured my heart and soul into this, not because I was looking for financial success, but because I felt it just had to be done, given the price hikes wherever you look today. While my wife and kid were enjoying the beach during a vacation, I was using the time to figure out how to best tackle the problem with variable substitution and snapshots, a rather important part of the software. Pulling your hair kind of thing, many of you have likely been there, but darn does it feel good once you solve it! I know, not the best use of my time, but on the other hand, I hate the beach, so I guess this was an escape mechanism for me at that time :)I had received quite a few encouraging emails from people eager to try fDeploy back when I only had a tiny landing page out, but life has its own course and it took a while to even gather the courage to publish the first beta!As everything that sounds too good to be true in this day and age, fDeploy is no different. It does not support multi tenancy (a rather big feature which I'd love to work down the road) and a few other things may be missing which some companies may find crucial. Either way, I see this covering the needs of a large chunk of small to medium sized companies, so some "assembly" may be required. If only HN had the crowd which likes to get their hands dirty and find ways to make things work ;)I'd love to hear your thoughts and if you could take it for a spin. No signups, should be a smooth ride to get up and running and experimenting in minutes.Thanks!

Hi HN, we're Sam and Alex, founders of Risklytics (https://risklytics.ai). We're both on leave from Harvard, and we run an insurance brokerage for companies building robots, drones, autonomous systems and satellites. You describe your machine, we find the insurance companies willing to cover it, and we read everything before you sign.Buying insurance for any frontier tech goes like this:- your first customer or pilot requires coverage before your machine can work on their site- a broker hands you an application written for ordinary businesses, and often will deny you on baseless "risks" (one of our clients got denied for using CAD software in their workflow)- you get filed under something close or outright denied, the person at the insurance company often can't tell what they're looking at, and the safe answer is no- if a quote does come back, the AI risk is often quietly removed by an add-on clause that prevents you from truly being coveredThose clauses surprised us. Insurance companies mostly don't write their own policies from scratch. They license standard forms from an industry body called ISO and attach add-on clauses to adjust them, and in January ISO published clauses that void coverage for losses arising out of AI in any part of a process. Each insurer decides whether to adopt them, account by account, and there's no public record of who has and to what capacity.There's an open question in the wording too. It defines generative AI as systems trained on data that produce text, images, audio, video or code. Whether a robot's control model, which produces motor commands, falls under that is unsettled. We've asked underwriters, the people at insurance companies who make these calls, and gotten different answers across the board.We didn't initially plan to be brokers. We came into YC to work in insurance and spent the first half of the batch on a wildfire risk model we wanted to sell to insura
