Show HN: I built an OS that is pure AI (opens in new tab)

Does that mean it's not actually an OS?

Curious about the IPC layer between agents. When agents communicate with each other, is there any access control on what one agent can request from another? Or is it open by default?

In practice the moment you have multiple agents that persist and talk to each other, you need some kind of permission model — otherwise one rogue agent can access everything through a chain of IPC calls. Even if each individual sandbox is secure.

The Rust + WASM combo is solid for this. We use Rust for similar reasons — memory safety matters a lot more when agents run autonomously.

With traditional software you at least have a binary you can inspect. Here the "program" is a generated Rust module that may never exist again in the same form. That's a genuinely hard problem for any use case where you need to reproduce or explain behavior after the fact.

The community agent store helps for sharing, but it also raises the question: when a downloaded agent does something wrong, who's responsible and how do you trace it? This feels like the unsexy infrastructure problem that'll define whether Pneuma can be trusted for anything beyond personal use.

I had a conversation with Claude on it. I work as an artist and webdev, so excuse my lack of technical knowledge on the matter: https://claude.ai/share/8b40cf7f-ecc6-452f-a550-3d1e5416b3e5

Building apps on the fly seems cool, But hits the frustration when they don't work at times, When building as a side project we tolerate it because we are in building phase, But when using we might not tolerate the issues.

Finally the security also plays a major role, So instead of building apps at runtime, We need agents and skills as portable objects.

However, I'd never use it. Reason: having everything dynamically created JIT means there's a trade-off somewhere else; in this case, it's energy consumption. I'd rather "cache" applications (ie. have them as installable software, which has been built just once) than endlessly recreate software from scratch each time, with all the energy usage that entails.

Pneuma reminds me a little bit of Yansu AI, a project I saw recently on HN that proactively builds apps with AI (https://yansu.app/)

For this to be practical you really need to build things iteratively and asking the user questions, rather than attempting at one shot half assed ideas

Also most people are better explaining details with voice rather than text.

llms were not quite there at the time maybe ill revisit.
