People are lying to you. These agents don't work as they promised.

Some of the stories they aren't telling you: • Chevrolet's chatbot sold a car for $1 • Air Canada had to honor a refund policy that its chatbot made up • A pipeline ran 20x over cost for 6 days without anyone noticing People didn't realize because nothing broke. There were no crashes and no alerts. That's the issue with agentic applications. They always generate something that looks coherent and don't raise any suspicion unless it's too late. There's an amazing free YouTube lecture and blog post from Arsh Shah Dilbagi that will help you fix this with a practical framework. Here is what you'll learn: • How to set up end-to-end trace instrumentation • How to build alerts around a silent failure taxonomy • An eval system built from production data • Complete and concrete implementation steps Every section of the blog ends with exactly what to do next.

How to monitor the web and research what comes back in 300 lines of code. I want to buy some cheap products on Amazon, but I want to grab them when prices drop. I'm using Parallel Parallel Web Systems here, which is a really easy way to ground your agentic code. Here is how this works: 1. Set up a monitoring event with Parallel for the products 2. If there's a hit, I get a webhook event with the details 3. My script immediately kicks off a Deep Research task 4. The final result tells me whether the product is worth buying I probably spent 1 hour building all of this with Claude Code + the Parallel Agent Skills. I'm linking to the GitHub repo below. Just think about what you could do with this. Here is an easy example (I also set this up): • Monitor news for public tech companies • Analyze the news + price • Assess whether it's worth investing You can do this, put it on autopilot, and get an email anytime there's something worth your time. Here is the video I recorded.

This is literally the fastest way to install OpenClaw (MoltBot). This video will show you how to do it step by step. You don't need to buy a Mac Mini. We'll install it in DigitalOcean. I've installed this 12 different times already, and this is the fastest way I've found.

My agent is now paying for its own data. No API key. No account. No credit card. Check the video I recorded. This uses the x402 open protocol built by Coinbase, along with a simple skill. This is an open protocol governed by the Linux Foundation. To complete a goal, an agent can now search for an actor on the Apify Store, pay for it, and use it without any human intervention. The way it works is pretty simple: 1. Your agent finds an Actor it wants to use 2. It sends a request 3. The Actor sends back an HTTP 402 "Payment Required" response 4. Agent authorizes payment from a wallet in USDC on Base 5. The Actor runs 6. User receives the result The model is pay-as-you-go: the agent authorizes a spending ceiling, pays only for usage, and the remaining balance is automatically settled. This brings an entire marketplace of AI tools into the agentic economy. Here is the skill you need. Add it to your agent, and it will take care of everything for you: If you want to know how this works, including what you can do with $1, read this post: Thanks to the Apify team for partnering with me on this post.

This little device lets your agents do what they do best, whilst making sure you approve every important action. This is a Ledger Nano Gen5, a hardware signer that keeps your accounts secure. You can install a CLI and a set of skills in your projects. These will enable your agents to send their plan to the signer, so you can approve it. This is awesome: 1. You can have an automated agentic workflow 2. Your agents can't make costly mistakes Check the video I recorded to see how this works. You can run all of this in two commands: 1. Install the CLI 2. Install the skills for your agent From here, the agent can query my Ethereum accounts, check balances, and even initiate transactions as long as my Ledger Nano Gen5 is plugged into the computer. My keys are never stored in my computer and never shared with the agent. This is huge! Also, while the agent can set up transactions, it can't execute them unless a human approves them using the device. Pretty awesome! Thanks to the Ledger team for partnering with me on this post.

We integrated ChatGPT with our robots. We had a ton of fun building this! Read on for the details:

Markdown was doomed from the start. It's just a format with low information density. HTML is better for humans, and agents can now consume and produce it without issues. But nobody wants to type HTML, so here is an alternative: This is an open-source tool for generating dashboards from data without writing a single HTML tag. You define your dashboard in YAML or TSK, and the tool will serve the HTML file for you. It comes with skills for Claude Code and Codex, so they know how to build these dashboards. And you can connect this to Postgres, MySQL, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks, and many other databases. Repo link below.

The first open-source implementation of the paper that will change automatic test generation is now available! In February, Meta published a paper introducing a tool to automatically increase test coverage, guaranteeing improvements over an existing code base. This is a big deal, but Meta didn't release the code. Fortunately, we now have Cover-Agent, an open-source tool you can install that implements Meta's paper to generate unit tests automatically: I recorded a quick video showing Cover-Agent in action. There are two things I want to mention: 1. Automatically generating unit tests is not new, but doing it right is difficult. If you ask ChatGPT to do it, you'll get duplicate, non-working, and meaningless tests that don't improve your code. Meta's solution only generates unique tests that run and increase code coverage. 2. People who write tests before writing the code (TDD) will find this less helpful. That's okay. Not everyone does TDD, but we all need to improve test coverage. There are many good and bad applications of AI, but this is one I'm looking forward to make part of my life.

Intelligence withdrawal will be brutal. Model tokens are heavily subsidized. Subsidies are disappearing, and with them, so is easy "intelligence". This is the reason for Anthropic and OpenClaw's divorce. This should be a wake-up call for everyone building on top of a single provider. Your AI setup shouldn't depend on someone else's business model.

Nobody is writing 90% of their code using AI. Here's the uncomfortable truth: The real productivity gain from using AI to write code is closer to 10%, nowhere near the 90% people claim. Sundar Pichai said in 2024 that 30% of the new code at Google was AI-generated. However, he went on to admit, during Lex Friedman's podcast, that engineering velocity had only increased by about 10%. AI-generated code isn't free code. It still has to be reviewed, tested, and made production-ready. Optimizing a single step (code generation) doesn't boost output if bottlenecks shift elsewhere (code reviews). It doesn't matter how much code you generate if you can't keep up the review process. The solution: Automate as much as you can the review and verification of your code. I'm working with Sonar, who is sponsoring this post, and they will take care of the code quality and security analysis of your code: • They review over 300B lines of code every single day • They cover reliability, security, and maintainability for your code • You can integrate them into your CI/CD pipeline • You can install them in your IDE (I use their VSCode extension) • Support for more than 30 languages Here is a link so you can check them out:

Knowledge graphs are infinitely better than vector search for building the memory of AI agents. With five lines of code, you can build a knowledge graph with your data. When you see the results, you'll never go back to vector-mediocrity-land. Here is a quick video:

Here is how you can give Claude Code access to any data that exists online. It's an easy way to make it 10x more powerful than it already is. For example: Use Claude Code to find open LinkedIn jobs in your area, tailor your resume to them, and apply for them automatically.

This is a trillion-dollar industry, and you can't solve it with an LLM: • Forecasting • Fraud detection • Churn prediction Large Language Models are fundamentally bad at solving these problems. When you feed structured data into an LLM, it doesn't see relationships, and it treats every number, date, and foreign key as a token. That's why you always get garbage back. An LLM thinks your database is a Wikipedia article. It doesn't understand its structure or its relationships. GPT-4 scores 63% on relational prediction tasks. That's the best it can do, and that's pretty much useless. You can't expect real-world business value to come from summarizing Wikipedia articles.
