Show HN: I built an AI agent to monitor HN for interesting posts

Hi HN!

I built an agent using Fabrk AI that periodically checks “top”, “show” and “ask” HN posts and sends me a summary email if it is AI related. Here is the repo with more details including a demo video: https://github.com/FabrkAI/home

The agent has several tools that allow it to get a list of posts, get one most, store the most recently reviewed article number and send an email. There’s even a little bonus at the end of the video about giving the agent more HN functionality ;).

You can configure the agent to query on any cadence and filter on any topic.

This agent is publically available. The link to fork the agent is in the GitHub repo.

Help us understand what the point of the linked GitHub repository is? It houses a readme file alone.

I'm keeping track of the comments on this post with the agent. Check it out here: https://youtu.be/ouIWvi_zaB8

How does this work? I'm assuming you're using openai's function/tool calling. But how do you support the forking of the tools? The scheduling is cool.
