Seedance2.0 and OmniVideo: AI video creation from text and images – experiences?

Hacker News - Mon, 03/09/2026 - 5:04am

I'm exploring Seedance2.0, an AI video model used by OmniVideo to generate short videos from text prompts or images. It seems useful for social media and marketing content without traditional editing. Has anyone tried this approach? What are your impressions or alternatives?

Kairos – real-time AI that cross-verifies news before answering (Python, 90KB)

Hacker News - Mon, 03/09/2026 - 5:03am

Hi HN,

I'm Joshua, a teen from Kerala, India.

I built Kairos because I was frustrated that every AI I tested hallucinated on live events. During today's T20 World Cup Final, ChatGPT named the wrong player. Copilot named a different wrong player. Both confidently. Neither had live data.

Kairos solves this differently. Instead of sending raw search results to the LLM and hoping, it runs a verification pass first — cross-checking titles across RSS, DuckDuckGo, and NewsAPI, scoring each result by how many independent sources confirm it, then sorting by confidence before the LLM ever sees the context.

The architecture:

1. Pronoun resolution from ChromaDB conversation history (no API call) 2. Domain classification (6 domains) 3. Query expansion — 1 query becomes 4 targeted searches, pure Python, zero extra API calls 4. Parallel async fetch with timeouts 5. Cross-verification scoring 6. Dynamic thinking budget (0 for sports scores, up to 10k for complex analysis, hard capped) 7. 250 word output limit

Total codebase: ~90KB Model: Gemini 2.5 Flash Cache: ChromaDB Cost: $0

Benchmark on today's T20 Final: Kairos 43/50, Gemini 40/50, Perplexity 38/50, Copilot 26/50, ChatGPT 19/50

ChatGPT and Copilot both hallucinated player names with full confidence. Kairos cited 15 live sources.

Show HN: I built an opinionated AI agent to respond to EU consultations

Hacker News - Mon, 03/09/2026 - 4:17am

I built Commento, an AI agent that acts as an automated lobbyist. It tracks open public policy consultations in the EU and the Netherlands, and automatically drafts and submits responses advocating for pro-growth, pro-creative destruction policies.

The positions are grounded in frameworks like the Draghi Report, the Wennink Report, and the Dutch National AI Deltaplan.

The pipeline consists of 4 steps:

Discover: Crawling government portals for open consultations. Draft: A 3-pass LLM pipeline (draft, critique, rewrite). Submit: Automated browser submission to the portal. Publish: A public dashboard for full transparency on what the agent submits.

I see this project as an exploration of how AI agents can interact with government policy and "democratise" lobbying.
