Show HN: Wazear – A visual AI orchestrator where agents review each other
Hey folks, For the past month I've been working on a visual AI orchestartor tool that allows users to create a pipeline similar to SDLC. Basically you fire up Wazear, create a project and add your brief. You select the agents (each agent serves a role such as planner, architect, etc...) and set which agent reviews which other agent's work and let it do the work.
