Show HN: Palm Trees AI – A Software Robot Network of Specialized AI Personas

https://palmtreesai.com
1•jtechy•3mo ago
Hi HN, I’m the founder of Palm Trees AI, and I’m excited to share what I’ve been building. Palm Trees AI is a Software Robot Network (SRN) – a platform of AI-powered personas you can use for different tasks (coding help, legal Q&A, real estate analysis, medical info, entertainment, etc.) with one account.

The idea came from my frustration using separate AI tools for different needs and having multiple ideas for AI applications. I wanted a unified home for multiple specialized AI agents with a consistent, user-friendly UX.

What It Is

Palm Trees AI is a curated library of AI personas, each tuned for a specific domain. Rather than one general-purpose AI trying to do everything, each persona focuses on its niche – a coding mentor, legal advisor, or real estate analyst, for example. All share the same design and hub, so you can switch between them easily without juggling multiple apps or logins.

Unified Credits (Gasergy)

Palm Trees AI runs on a single credit system called Gasergy – short for “gas/energy,” the shared fuel for all personas. You get a monthly pool of credits to spend on any AI-powered action. For example, you could use 60 credits with the coding persona and the rest with a legal or real estate bot. Non-AI actions (like browsing free content) cost nothing, and each AI action clearly shows its Gasergy cost upfront.

This unified model eliminates the need for multiple subscriptions or credit systems. Gasergy plans are currently 50% off during pre-launch.

First Persona – HTML Master

The first persona, HTML Master, is a friendly coding tutor that combines an interactive HTML course with an AI companion. The course is free to explore; using the AI for debugging, explanations, or examples consumes a small amount of Gasergy.

HTML Master will be fully released within one week. You can join the waitlist now on palmtreesai.com and receive free Gasergy credits when it launches.

Coming Next

Immediately after HTML Master, I’m rolling out JavaScript Master and CSS Master to complete the front-end trio.

After that, the SRN will expand into other domains like legal, real estate, medical, and entertainment. For instance, a legal persona might help explain contract clauses (not a lawyer replacement, but an assistant), and a medical persona could summarize articles or answer general health questions with disclaimers. The goal is to have an ever-growing network of domain-specific AI helpers that feel coherent and connected.

Build Your Own Persona

We’re also developing a Custom Persona Builder, letting users design their own AI personas by defining tone, tools, and behavior guardrails. You’ll be able to create private or shared personas for your team or the public. And we also plan for the builders to be able to make money off their AI creations. This feature is in active development, and early testers will be invited from the waitlist.

Try It Out & Feedback

The SRN main site is still in pre-launch until more personas are available, but the platform is live now. You can sign up once for access to everything, join the HTML Master waitlist, and purchase a Gasergy plan early which is 50% off on pre-launch.

I’d love your honest feedback: – Is this concept useful to you? – Which personas would be most valuable? – What would make the UX or pricing better?

I know “AI for X” is a crowded space, so I’m especially interested in skeptical takes. Palm Trees AI is a labor of love built around the belief that specialized, well-scoped AIs are more useful than general ones when you’re learning or solving real-world problems.

Thanks for reading – and for any feedback the HN community can share.

Thanks everyone for checking this out — this project came from nights trying to make AI tools more unified and practical. I’m still bootstrapping this solo and really value honest feedback from HN. What would make this actually useful to you personally? I’m reading every comment.
