Show HN: We developed an AI tool to diagnose car problems Hey HN,

We built AutoAI – an AI tool that tells you what's wrong with your car in plain English.

Just enter:

Your car’s make/model/year

The OBD2 error codes (optional) (like P0420, P0171, etc.)

Any symptoms you're noticing (e.g. “rough idle” or “weird sound when starting”)

And we’ll tell you:

The most likely issue

How to verify it yourself

Whether it’s a DIY fix or shop-worthy

No more endless Googling or forum-hopping. Built for car owners, tinkerers, and pros who want fast, reliable answers. Powered by a repair-trained AI using real-world automotive data.

We’re trying to make diagnostics smarter, not replace your mechanic – just make you way more informed before spending money.

Would love feedback or crazy edge-case inputs to improve it.

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&#x2F;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&#x27;t like living dangerously, you can set it to `paranoid`.<p>Install: `pi install npm:pi-hosts`<p>GitHub: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;hunvreus&#x2F;pi-hosts" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;hunvreus&#x2F;pi-hosts</a>
