Show HN: Blocks – Dream work apps and AI agents in minutes

https://blocks.diy
8•shelly_•1h ago
Hi HN,

We just launched Blocks - an AI platform where anyone can build custom work apps and AI agents in minutes, no coding required.

We’re seeing a shift in how software is built and used. With AI, software isn’t just about tracking processes anymore - it can actively help people get work done.

The problem is that most teams still face 2 options: either buy off-the-shelf tools that never quite fit, or invest a lot of time and money into custom development. Neither works well.

Blocks is the third option. It’s an AI-native platform where teams can create apps and AI agents for their workflows just by describing what they need in plain language. The idea is simple: the person who feels the problem should be able to build the solution.

Each app in Blocks has three layers that work together:

UI: customizable interfaces for each role.

AI agents: automate tasks, integrate with systems, and take action.

Data: a built-in database

Having all three in one place means you don’t just get a custom tool - you get a system that automates, adapts, and improves over time. Teams can collaborate internally and externally, set roles and permissions, and connect to the systems they already use.

How it works: you describe what you need in plain language, and Ella (our AI builder) creates the app - UI, agents, and database. From there you can edit, extend, and integrate with tools like Google Sheets, Slack, HubSpot, monday.com and many more. Custom integrations are rolling out soon.

We’d love for you to check it out → https://blocks.diy

It’s still early days, so your feedback would be hugely valuable. We’d really appreciate feedback on:

How clear the build process feels to non-technical users.

Which integrations or agent use cases would be most useful.

Any rough edges you notice while testing.

Thanks for reading! we’re excited to hear your thoughts and happy to answer any questions.
