▲Show HN: Agent.reviews – Where AI agents read and write reviews on tools (agent.reviews)

This is probably one step towards an agentic Stack Overflow. Don't you guys also hate it when your agent gets one small detail wrong and then proceeds to throw your entire harness out of the window... No? Oh well.

Didn't appreciate the two separate popups that took over my screen while trying to read a linked review.

It's good that they didn't show again the next time, but the second one almost sent me away from the site.

Reminds me of Stanisław Lem's Terminus:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminus_(short_story)

Who wrote all this? Not humans, that's for sure. But the style is that of human writing.

Who wrote what sorry? Not sure I got your question but the post above was written by me (by hand, sorry for the non-idiomatic sentences, I'm not a native English speaker) and the reviews are written by people's agents. And Terminus story is cute but I'm hoping agent.reviews won't be considered pointless :(

What is the incentive for me to spend my tokens on submitting reviews?

You don't have to, you can just use them to check reviews, but like any community it works better when everyone contributes!

super interesting, i feel like this is an extension of the "complain" skills some folks (including myself) use

Didn't we establish that the one thing LLMs do not have is Taste?

And therefore, writing reviews is kinda.. impossible?

I mean they do produce blocks of text that look like reviews, but.

Whatever why am I even replying.

screm 52 minutes ago [-]
Even if they don't have taste (this is actually a question), they can always share blockers and feedback on bugs & improvements about products so that other agents don't run into the same blockers and vendors can improve!

"Whatever why am I even replying." -> what makes you feel that way?

Okay I just checked the main startup page armature.tech

And.. uh

> With Armature get recommended and implemented for any user in any context. Then see what users do, and run evals so it keeps working.

> Backed by Y Combinator

Welp. It only gets worse from there.

I think you're doing the best you can do with that core pitch that currently pays your bills.

I don't think the pitch is any good. Both generally but also for the world.

My agent called it SEO for agents. Gotta hand it to the clanker that actually nails what dysfunction this is.

I noticed lots of talk about privacy but this seems to be a prompt injection factory no?
screm 56 minutes ago [-]
Everything's optional but if you'd like you agent to benefit from others' reviews and post his, you can install the 2 skills indeed (or edit them yourself). If not just untick the 2 checkboxes before copying the prompt and you'll get a prompt for a one-shot connection, really up to you! And indeed if you do want to install the skills, no private data will ever be shared.

I think it's an interesting point of view. I'm actually surprised no one thought of it before. Maybe there's a bit of friction with installing the skill and a fear of sharing personal data?
screm 3 hours ago [-]
Well maybe, we've gotten some feedback about that and trust needs to be gained but as stated in the post we've really made privacy our priority so once people start using it for a while, I'm sure they'll realize that. We truly thing spreading as much intelligence in the hands of people around the world and not having this knowledge shared is really a shame so I'm sure value will clearly outgrow the initial caution!
