Description

Hi HN! I'm building Ano because I was tired of Slack's bloat and sluggishness, and never got any value out of their agent implementation.Ano is built local-first for speed (using Rocicorp Zero), focused on communication, and lets you use your own code agent as an assistant (Claude in my case, but it works with Codex too).I use the code agent to summarize anything unread (linking back to what matters), respond with context, and share data to and from connected tools (GitHub, Posthog, Attio, etc).Using your code agent for this might sound counter-intuitive, but to me it's the most powerful agent I use. It already has connections to my tools, and now it has access to Ano for communication too. The agent lives in an in-app shell, and Ano also has a CLI, so you can read and message into the chat from whatever terminal you're already using.Basically: Slack, minus the noise, with your code agent doing the work.Early days, but you can download the app and try it (macOS and iOS for now, more to come!). Would love your feedback. It's free, but you bring your own code agent account.
