OB-1 launches on Product Hunt with a free coding agent

OB-1, the coding agent from Overbrilliant, is now on Product Hunt. No account, credit card, or API key is necessary for the free service.

At launch, the free tier routes requests through 162 models across 22 providers. Provider configuration is not necessary before your first task.

Install OB-1

Use this command:

brew install overbrilliant/tap/ob1

Verify each change

After a code change, OB-1 runs the project checks. If a check fails, the agent continues to correct the code.

The checks give the agent evidence about its changes. You can examine both the edits and the check results.

A launch comment asked whether the agent could weaken a test instead of correcting the underlying defect. The verification loop treats tests as requirements.

The agent should change the code to meet those requirements. The judge flags test changes that only hide a failure.

Costs and further information

Paid plans use prepaid credits with hard limits for heavier use. Those limits restrict the cost of a session.

We also used OB-1 to build most of OB-1. This gave us direct experience of the same tool that users receive.

The launch received a small number of upvotes, but it reached developers interested in the product. More information is available at overbrilliant.com.
