Show HN: Chaos engineering for LLMs – Making models cross-examine each other

Single-model inference is a single point of failure. I got sick of Chatgpt hallucinating fake citations and having to manually check them in a different tab with Claude.

So I built Council

The Difference: Shared Context Most "multi-bot" UIs are just parallel silos. Council uses a sequential backend stream where every response is injected into the context of the next model.

If GPT cites a fake study, Claude sees it and calls it out.

If Gemini misses a logic gap, Grok roasts it.

Adversarial Logic Instead of "consensus" (which leads to boring, average answers), I'm using model-on-model friction to surface the truth. By forcing GPT-4o, Claude 3.5, Gemini 1.5, and Grok into one adversarial window, you get a "red-teamed" output that’s harder to fake.

What I need: It's an MVP. I'm trying to figure out if "Inter-model Cross-Examination" actually kills hallucinations or just creates more expensive ones.

Give it a spin and try to break the logic. No fluff, just testing the architecture.

Show HN: Kapso – WhatsApp for developers

Hey HN, I'm Andres. I've been building Kapso as a solo founder, and just crossed 4,000 developers, all organic.

WhatsApp has 3B+ users and 98% open rates. You'd expect developers to be building tons of stuff on it, especially when the US is the fastest-growing market in WhatsApp usage.

But it’s not happening… And I'd bet it's because the DX is painful.

Every team needs to build the same features again and again. Meta fires webhooks for everything. There's valuable data in there for debugging, but no way to make sense of it without building your own tooling.

That’s why I built Kapso. What you get:

- Working WhatsApp API + inbox in 2 minutes, not days - Full observability: every webhook parsed, every message tracked, actual debugging tools - Multi-tenant platform: generate a setup link, customer connects their Meta account, done - Workflow builder for deterministic automations and AI Agents - WhatsApp Flows: build mini apps inside WhatsApp using AI + serverless functions - Docs that work for humans and LLMs

We're up to 95% cheaper than Twilio, with a generous free tier (2,000 messages per month).

We also open source several tools: a TypeScript client for the WhatsApp Cloud API, a reference WhatsApp Inbox implementation, and a voice AI agent for WhatsApp.

GitHub: https://github.com/gokapso/

Happy to answer questions!

Show HN: LitContent – AI content designed to match your brand voice

Hey HN,

Founder of LitContent here.

I'm excited and also slightly nervous to be sharing this on here, as I'm aware this might come off as another 'AI content creation' SaaS, and whilst in pure labels, that's technically the case, in functionality and in how I designed it to work, I believe it functions/feels different, and has the potential to save time and hassle during the content creation process, particularly for small - medium business owners with existing websites.

The largest pain points I designed LitContent to help with were the constant battles between maintaining context awareness and generating truly on-brand content, which can then become more complex when working with a team. To handle this by default, I implemented a process starting with the user submitting their website's sitemap URL (we also try to find sitemaps automatically and present to the user).

After scraping the sitemap, the full page contents are stripped down to their base text. This not only helps eliminate excessive token usage costs, but also enables our internal AI prompting strategies. For example, pre-existing URLs and page content are sent as negative AI prompts for features like generation post title suggestions. This is extremely useful for our new page content creator, where you don't want the AI to constantly recycle your existing pages, unless there's a good reason to do so.

Beyond the AI integration itself, I decided to also focus on the team collaboration workflow. For instance, when viewing a team member's revision for a specific piece of content, you can click our 'Smart Merge' feature. This sends both your current revision and your team member's selected revision to the AI, which automatically merges them into a consolidated draft in your editor. This process, which is trivial for AI, can save two human editors a significant amount of time and back-and-forth.

I know this is a bit long, so I won't list off any other features here. I would genuinely appreciate any criticism or feedback. Feel free to check out our walkthrough page (https://litcontent.com/walkthrough) even if you're not interested in signing up. If there's anyone reading this who is currently managing content workflows, I'd love to hear about any specific pain points you might be dealing with in that process.

Thanks so much, Benji
