Show HN: How to build and self-host a code review agent
A software engineer introduces Tilde, a cloud-based SDK designed to simplify the development and deployment of AI agents. The platform provides modular components to help developers build and self-host automated tools, such as a code review bot, with minimal configuration.
Why it matters
As AI agent development becomes more accessible, tools like Tilde lower the barrier for individual developers to automate complex workflows and integrate LLMs into their software development lifecycle.

Tilde is a harness SDK for building cloud deployed AI agents, extremely fast.
Over a year later into building this side project, point 1 is still true. On the other hand other frameworks, libraries and harnesses have come a long way but I still find myself reaching daily to Tilde to build agents to automate things for me. Having worked through the common pitfall most software engineers make, namely that "there's always one more feature before it's ready" - I can finally convince myself that it's ready.
I've taken out the meat of what makes a good harness, and composed it into components you can pick and choose to give to your agent:
