Thanks for asking! We are using Prava Payments.

Hey HN, I am 16y/o and have been working on Sprocket for a while.

It's an open-source AI agent that, unlike other AI agents, tackles both hardware and software, and does it cheaper and better than them.

And guess what? Sprocket can (on its own): buy anything from any website when you tell it to do so. From hardware parts to SaaS subscriptions. This is just one of many unique features we are working on for Sprocket.

Sprocket retrieves best-in-class context from the web for everything it does. It is therefore incredibly reliable.

The agent harness's quality, performance, and UI rival that of Codex/Cursor/T3Code, and we are rapidly improving. We will be releasing benchmarks on how Sprocket beats every other agent at both software and hardware soon.

In terms of hardware design, Sprocket can make beautiful schematics in React, create your BOM, and create detailed assembly instructions.

Hope you try it out!

Thanks, Aarav

Yup, I am actually participating in their agentic commerce hackathon with this project

you should create more sockpuppet accounts to write nice comments ;)

amronos · 2026-08-02T19:18:21

Sorry, these aren't puppet accounts, btw, just accounts of some friends and family who somehow found this project.

riiight... kinda like the last time something like this happened ("friends" instead of "team mates") ;)

Slater name 1 impressive thing you’ve ever done.

Miserable loser with 0 accomplishments

Did you look at the project btw? Any opinions?

astaka · 2026-08-04T05:00:31

Yep, it's pretty cool! I actually tried building a tiny robot car myself before, but I don't have a hardware background, so it was really challenging to learn everything and source all the components.

I even used an AI agent (OpenClaw) to help me with the project, but I still ran into a lot of obstacles—things like circuit diagrams, wiring, hardware tools, and understanding the documentation. Eventually, I gave up... haha.

I think your tool could really help people like me who want to build hardware projects but don't have much experience. It's a great idea!
