Ask HN: What's your current AI agentic setup?
512 points by eggbrain 7 days ago | 638 comments
tl;dr: An Ask HN thread soliciting details on readers' current AI workflows, including which subscriptions they pay for (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.) and at what tiers, whether they supplement with APIs, OpenRouter, or local models, and what coding harnesses (CLIs, IDE integrations, Aider, OpenCode) they prefer. The poster also asks about agent orchestration/swarm tools and broader agent platforms, noting workflows have shifted significantly in the past year and wanting a current snapshot.
HN Discussion:
  • •Minimal or no AI usage, still coding mostly manually with light tool exploration
  • ↑Settled on a single simple setup (Claude Code or Codex) after models became good enough
  • ↑Complex multi-model, multi-subscription setups with custom orchestration harnesses and message buses
  • •Rely on work-provided AI access rather than personal subscriptions, supplemented by API credits
  • ↑Built custom harnesses to manage multi-task workflows, kanban, and cross-machine coordination
