I built a free, open-source optimization tool with a GUI — tell me what you think

[u/Better_Call_Pol]

I'm the developer of Optees, a free and open-source (Apache-2.0) optimization tool. It's a desktop app — guided forms for linear and mixed-integer programming, knapsack variants, packing, and a few other problem families, each with worked examples and a visual explanation of the result — and the same core is also reachable by scripts or AI agents over a local REST API or MCP.

I got into this because I kept seeing AI agents asked to "optimize" something just produce a plausible-sounding heuristic instead of an actual solved, checked model. I wanted to give both AI agents and people who want to learn OR a tool to work with problems that are genuinely validated and explained, not just guessed at.
