Show HN: Empusa – Visual debugger to catch and resume AI agent retry loops

Hacker News - Sat, 02/07/2026 - 2:18am

OP here.

I’ve been running autonomous agents (OpenClaw/ReplyX) for lead gen, and I kept waking up to drained API credits because bots would get stuck in "zombie loops"—retrying a failed step (like a button click) until the timeout hit.

I actually wrote the fix for the loop detection logic in the OpenClaw repo itself (PR #9759), but I realized I needed a better way to visualize what was happening than scrolling through thousands of lines of JSON logs.

Empusa is a local dashboard (Next.js + SQLite) that helps with this:

Visual Timeline: Turns logs into a visual trace (Green=Success, Red=Fail, Yellow=Loop Detected).

State Snapshots: It records the agent's variable state at every step.

Resume Capability: If an agent crashes, you can grab the state JSON and resume execution from that exact step rather than restarting from zero.

It’s a simple MVP right now, but it solves the specific pain of "blind" agent debugging. Code is MIT licensed.

Would love feedback on the state management approach.

Show HN: MindDraft – AI task app with smart actions and auto expense tracking

Hacker News - Sat, 02/07/2026 - 2:10am

Hey HN,

I built MindDraft because I was tired of task apps that made ME do all the work. After 18 months of solo development, I'm sharing it here.

*What's different:*

1. Location-based reminders - "Buy groceries" alerts when you're near a grocery store, not at an arbitrary time. Uses iOS geofencing.

2. Smart Actions - Tasks have action buttons. "Call dentist" → tap to call. "Pay rent" → opens payment app. Tasks become actions, not just reminders.

3. Task → Expense - Complete "Buy laptop $1200" and it auto-logs as an expense. No separate expense app.

4. Natural language AI - "Meeting with John Friday 3pm, need to prep slides day before" → parsed correctly with subtask.

*Tech stack:* - SwiftUI + SwiftData - Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Cloud Functions) - Gemini 2.5 Flash for NLP - Native iOS (no React Native/Flutter)

*What I learned:* - Geofencing on iOS is powerful but battery-conscious (system decides when to fire) - Gemini is surprisingly good at task parsing with proper prompting - SwiftData is ready for production, but migrations need care

Free tier available. Premium unlocks more views and unlimited AI.

Happy to answer technical questions about the implementation.

StovexGlobal – Compliance Gaps to Note

Hacker News - Sat, 02/07/2026 - 1:57am

For founders examining market entrants, StovexGlobal illustrates how lack of regulatory and operational transparency can impact user trust and product scalability.

Key observations relevant to fintech builders:

Multi-region platforms need explicit disclosure architecture, not generic branding.

Users should immediately understand jurisdiction, regulator, and protection scheme.

Absence of audit visibility weakens perceived reliability.

Governance opacity makes dispute handling unclear and introduces friction.

This is not a critique of intent; it's a reminder that fintech products succeed when compliance architecture is as visible as the interface.
