I built Chuk Chat because I wanted AI chat that doesn't treat my data as a product.

It runs only open-weight models: DeepSeek V3.2, Qwen3, Kimi K2.5, MiniMax M2.5, GLM 5. Encrypted chats, no tracking, fully deletable data.

€20/month flat, no token counting.

Available on Web, Windows, macOS, Linux, Android. iOS coming soon.

AI coding tools generate different code every time for the same requirement. RUNE is a specification pattern that fixes this: define a function's signature, WHEN/THEN behavior rules, and test cases upfront. Give the same spec to any AI tool — the generated code has the same behavior.

It's a pattern, not a framework. Works as YAML files or Markdown sections. Any language, any AI tool, no installation.

Includes 7 skills (markdown files you load into your AI tool) for the lifecycle: create specs, validate, refine, generate tests, detect drift, reverse-engineer from code, multi-language generation.

Kunal Bahl mentioned us on ET Now. As a founder, you try to stay composed. But it’s hard not to feel something when your team’s effort gets acknowledged like that.

When the video came in, our team had one of those rare moments where we genuinely teared up.

We shared the clip with our families too - not for validation - but because it’s difficult to explain what you’re building every single day until someone like that says your name out loud.

And right after the joy came something else: responsibility.

Because we’re not building AI for headlines.

We’re building ContraVault.AI to change procurement for good - globally. The United States, Europe, India, Middle East & South East Asia.

To make tender and RFP bidding processes less exhausting, less manual, and far more rewarding.

We want procurement teams to spend less time buried in documents and more time making real decisions.

We want bid teams to go home earlier. And we want lean teams to compete with the same confidence as the biggest players.

Thank you, Kunal, for the mention.

It meant a lot to the entire ContraVault AI team - and it raised the bar for what we’re here to build.

Im consuming a lot of content on youtube then ever, news, science, programming, design, you name it. I know that youtube and other platforms change some rules about its algorithm and most creators are adapting to it. But very often I get the feeling that they are loosing a lot of time before going to the point just to keep me there - to make videos around 8min or 20min. I get it, they need to make money, but the worst part are those that don’t even deliver what the title was about, or are fake, just to grab my play.

So I decided to make something for myself, and i've been enjoying it.

(Chrome extension is not ready in marketplace, if anyone wants please send feedback on site i can share the package for testing)

Any feedback is super welcome.

Hi HN,

I built Whisper Money because I was frustrated that every personal finance app wanted full access to my bank credentials, fed my transactions into AI systems, or sold my spending data to third parties.

Whisper Money takes a different approach:

- *No bank credential sharing* - Import your transactions via CSV/XLS exports from your bank. No Plaid, no OAuth to your bank, no third-party integrations that can get breached. - *No AI snooping* - Your transactions are never fed into AI systems you don't control. - *No third-party data sharing* - Your financial data is never shared with advertisers or data brokers. - *Self-hostable* - Run it on your own infrastructure via Docker or Coolify (one-click deploy template included). - *Open source* - Full code transparency so you can audit the security yourself.

Features: - Multi-account tracking with budgets and cashflow analysis - Automation rules to auto-categorize transactions (built with JSON Logic) - Visual spending insights and reports - CSV/XLS import (a year of transactions in ~10 seconds) - PWA support - works as a mobile app - Dark mode, multi-language support

Tech stack: Laravel 12, React 19, Inertia.js v2, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS v4, MySQL, Redis.

There's also a hosted version at https://whisper.money if you don't want to self-host, and a demo account you can try without registration: https://whisper.money/login?demo=1

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the approach. Is "no bank integration" a feature or a dealbreaker for you?
