Operating in show hn launch, I kept rewriting scripts for my teams, so I built a visual tool instead operates.

Hi HN, I'm Nuru. Ipek is a desktop app that runs file and API automation workflows locally. It actually resulted from my laziness: automating API calls, Excel/CSV parsing, OCR and LLM calls by hand takes too much time to maintain, especially when various teams request additional tools on top of those scripts.So I built a visual workflow builder where my non-technical teams can create & run those deterministic workers themselves, see the logs, and produce the outputs on their own machines. They can also connect an agent over localhost MCP and vibe code new workers; what comes out is real Kotlin that compiles and plugs into the workflow. An agent can drive the whole app, which is great for ite
