Hi HN,
Founder here. We built Pica, an open-source platform in Rust to enable agentic AI with three main focus areas:
- Access to APIs and tools: Universal SDKs that let AI agents use thousands of external actions without blowing up your context window. - Visibility and traceability: Full audit logs of every decision/action to ensure transparency and accountability. - Alignment with human intentions: Seamless guardrails for autonomous tasks; e.g., restricting certain email actions to human approval.
Why this matters: As autonomy in AI grows, we need robust solutions for trust and oversight. Pica aims to empower developers with the building blocks for safe and capable agentic systems.
We’d love your feedback—check it out: https://hellopica.com/

For the past few months, I've been working on a website that answers two different questions:
- Where in my city have the best travel times to all the things and people I care about?
