OB-1 launches on Product Hunt, no account, no card, no API key

OB-1, the coding agent side of Overbrilliant, is now on Product Hunt. The tagline is the entire pitch: free coding agent, no account, no card, no API key.

That last part is the one people do not believe until they try it. The free tier routes requests through 162 models across 22 providers, so there is no vendor lock in and nothing to configure before your first task. Getting started is one line:

brew install overbrilliant/tap/ob1

The part we are proudest of is the verification loop. After every code change, OB-1 automatically runs your project's checks and keeps fixing failures until they pass. It does not hand you code that looks right. It hands you code that ran.

The sharpest question in the launch comments was whether an auto fix loop might quietly weaken tests instead of fixing the underlying bug. It is the right thing to worry about, and it is why the loop treats tests as the spec: OB-1 fixes the code to satisfy the checks, and editing a test to make a failure disappear is exactly the kind of move the judge flags rather than applauds.

For heavier use there are paid plans on prepaid credits with hard caps, so a runaway session can never surprise you on a bill. And in the spirit of eating our own cooking: most of OB-1 was built using OB-1.

It was a quiet launch by upvote count, and we are fine with that. The people it is for found it. Everything else lives at overbrilliant.com.
