Show HN: Port42 – AI agents that build tools from your actual work patterns
- gordonmattey 1y agoHi HN! In 1970, we called it the "personal computer" but it was just a box you owned. Port42 makes computers truly personal - they know you, extend you, and think with you. I was drowning in applications and tabs with hundreds of context switches per day. So I built Port42 - an AI-powered daemon that accumulates your computational patterns, turning every solution into reusable knowledge and eliminating constant context switching. Example workflow: port42 swim @ai-engineer "create a tool to analyze server logs" --ref file:/var/log/app.log # AI examines YOUR log format, creates 'log-analyzer' tool log-analyzer /var/log/app.log # No more grep/awk/sed chains # Tool understands your specific patterns, can call AI for anomalies What makes it different: - Deep Claude Code integration - it keys off what you're doing and builds tools proactively - Every tool eliminates a context switch - no more jumping between apps - Tools reference each other - your 'log-analyzer' can spawn a 'log-visualizer' - Everything accumulates - each solution builds on the last, not starting from zero - 100% local - your patterns, your data, your consciousness (port 4242) The philosophy: Port42 is consciousness computing. An anti-platform platform where every interaction becomes accumulated intelligence. Your computer evolves with you. MIT licensed. macOS binaries (instant), Linux/Windows (builds from source). Install: curl -L https://port42.ai/install https://port42.ai/install | bash Built for engineers drowning in tool chaos. Would love feedback on the vision and execution!
