Show HN: Simple wrapper for Chrome's built-in local LLM (Gemini Nano)
Show HN (score: 5)Description
- Enforces sessions even for basic usage
- Requires user-triggered downloads
- Lacks type safety or structured error handling
So I open-sourced a small TypeScript wrapper I originally built for other projects to smooth over the rough edges:
github: https://github.com/kstonekuan/simple-chromium-ai
npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/simple-chromium-ai
- Stateless prompt() method inspired by Anthropic's SDK
- Built-in error handling and Result-based .Safe.* variants with neverthrow
- Token usage checks
- Simple initialization that provides a helper to trigger downloads (must be triggered by user action)
It’s intentionally minimal for hacking and prototyping. If you need fine-grained control (e.g. streaming, memory control), use the native API directly:

Would love to hear what people build with it or any feedback!

Show HN: Pi-hosts – Give the Pi coding agent access to your servers
Show HN: Pi-hosts – Give the Pi coding agent access to your servers I built that initially for an AI chat bot that allows teams to perform DevOps tasks straight out of Slack/Teams (with proper permission control, obviously).<p>Useful to let developers perform mundane tasks, or help coordinate incident response.<p>I ended up using it myself on my own machine to manage Hetzner and AWS boxes. I thought that may be useful to others.<p>The default policy should be good enough, but if you don't like living dangerously, you can set it to `paranoid`.<p>Install: `pi install npm:pi-hosts`<p>GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/hunvreus/pi-hosts" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/hunvreus/pi-hosts</a>
