Show HN: The agent that builds and operates its own SaaS tools

For context, we started working on our general AI agent CraftBot before OpenClaw came out. It works similarly to OpenClaw and Hermes agent: control your PC to do task + memory + proactivity. However, here is the catch: it can create and operate its own SaaS tools with the concept of Living UI

Living UI is a system where an AI agent can scaffold and launch real, working web apps on demand. Each living UI can be a dashboard/software/internal tool. They are essentially just frontend with X techstack talking to a backend + database with the techstack of your choice, spun up in its own pair of ports as supervised subprocesses managed by a host process. The backend owns all the state (so the app survives page reloads, tab switches, even host restarts), while the frontend is just a dumb view that fetches data and posts user actions. CraftBot can create a project from a template, install dependencies and launch it. It can also read and write its data through a scoped HTTP client, plus built-in endpoints that return a DOM snapshot and a screenshot so the agent can see what's on screen.

Currently, there are 3 ways to create a living UI

(1) Build from scratch. Just describe what you want, and CraftBot generates the backend, API, and UI, then iterates with you.

(2) Install from the marketplace. Use ready-to-use apps built by the community (we are looking for contributors!).

(3) Import your existing project or GitHub repo. CraftBot converts it into a Living UI and integrates itself into it (similar to CLI-anything, except the app runs directly in the agent UI).

Besides, if CraftBot encounters a problem it can’t solve with a simple script, it invents the Saas tool required to solve it proactively (with user approval, of course). It’s not just building a UI for you, but it’s building a workspace for itself to be more efficient.

The net effect: You no longer have to subscribe to Saas tools that are not built 100% for your needs, plus, the Saas tools come with their own general AI agent.
