AI Analysis

●●SolidShip ItNiche Gem

OAuth hub for agents, but auth infrastructure is crowded and the MVP is landing-page only.

Strengths
  • Solves genuine friction: agents need unified auth without per-user service setup.
  • Supports multiple accounts per service, letting agents access more data than single logins allow.
  • Single permission layer replaces n integrations, reducing security audit surface.
Weaknesses
  • Platform is 'still early' with no shipped product; comparison impossible against Zapier, Retool, n8n.
  • OAuth infrastructure is well-funded space with existing enterprise solutions (Auth0, Okta).
Target Audience

AI agent builders and companies deploying multi-service automations.

Post Description

Hi HN,

I've been working on a project called Kaeso.

The idea started fairly simple: I wanted to explore infrastructure around AI agents. While building it, the concept slowly evolved into something more focused on integrations.

One problem that keeps appearing when building agent systems is connecting them to real services in a structured and secure way. Every system ends up implementing its own integrations with tools like Google, Slack, GitHub, etc.

Kaeso is an attempt to experiment with a unified connection layer where services can be connected once and then accessed by agents through a consistent interface.

While building the project, the original idea changed quite a bit, which I wrote about here:

The platform is still early, but I'm curious what people here think about the idea of infrastructure specifically designed for AI agents.

Feedback is very welcome.

MultiWA - Open-source self-hosted WhatsApp API Gateway

Puts multiple WhatsApp clients (whatsapp-web.js, Baileys) behind a single API and pairs that with an admin UI, drag‑and‑drop automation builder, plugin system, and optional AI-powered knowledge base. It’s a practical, feature-rich approach for teams wanting full control of multi-number routing and automations, but low repo activity and few stars suggest you should vet stability and long-term maintenance before adopting.
