congrats on the launch @RhysSullivan , didnt know about a multi-acc gmail part, super damn helpful. my noob use-case of executor was to literally just have 1 place for all connectors, so it becomes the only tool i ever add to any agent

Congrats! "it gives you one place to sign in to all of the services you use and then every agent adopt (Hermes, Codex, OpenClaw, etc) carry over the same signed in accounts, permissions, etc" You should this line more to describe Executor. It explains Executor really well

executor has been great! trying to adopt it internally.

This is amazing, especially for all these apps that don’t have a good API service. I’m wondering how long they’re gonna resist that though… it’s obvious for my own app that I don’t need to make my own agent. I just need to make a well documented API and user journey so that agent can just use it by provisioning an API key. API + skill seems to work really really really well

i hate the way tool calling works today, so i built a fix for it its called `executor` and it lets your agent run code to call any API / MCP / GraphQL server rather than installing CLIs this is a soft launch, you can try it with npm i -g executor but im still making it great

Ask User tool in Gemini CLI 💬 The ask user tool gives the agent an interface to ask questions to you when instructions are unclear, designs could go one of multiple ways, or when you ask it to use the "ask_user" tool! Supports multiple different question types. Give it a try today to review your specs, quiz you, or just ask you questions about a project. 🙋

I'm now building Executor full time as a startup! The state of tool calling is a mess: - Everyone is using different agents - You have no idea what actions are going to run - Destructive actions are treated the same as normal Executor lets you set up everything once & use it with any agent. You're able to control what tools can be called, require approval on destructive actions, and invite your team to all use them. Under the hood, it's built on codemode to let you add thousands of tools with 0 context bloat. I've been using it for a month so far and it has completely changed how I interact with agents. There's so much to be built here, immediately next up on the roadmap is workspaces, skills, workflows, and generative ui. Everything is being built open source over at there's a lot more coming on an SDK to embed it into your own agents, a self hostable cloud app, and plugins There's an early beta version over at It's very early on - if you hit any bugs let me know and I'll get them fixed up, excited to share more as I build it!

Copilot Tasks is seriously good?! Even one of the best alternative to Claude Cowork Using a single prompt it was able to: → Use a cloud browser to find the right tool → Interact with the page to enter data → Interpret all the info given by the page → Generate a PowerPoint based on it → Draft an email containing the learnings Because it has access in real time to multiple Microsoft Office apps like Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc. but also Outlook. Everything was seamless. First try. And you can even ask it to schedule this task (or another one) to run it every Friday, once a month, you name it. As with OpenClaw, the use cases are basically infinite.

Introducing Tapkit Tapkit is a Mac app that lets your agents use your iPhone. Tell it to do anything and it can use your phone to do it. We've been iterating on Tapkit over the last few months with our earliest users and finally feel like it's ready for general use. Today it is easy to use, supports any agent, and can even use multiple iPhones at the same time. There are so many great things that we can do with this new primitive, but I didn't want to wait any longer to share it with you. Try it now:

This is why you want an execution layer share your tools, auth and approvals across all agents you use Check out me adding the Axiom MCP server, authing to it, and calling it from Claude Code and OpenCode in under a minute - all locally on my computer `npm i -g executor`

This guy literally tested Hermes Agent vs OpenClaw side by side. Hermes won. And it wasn't close. Here's what made the difference: → Hermes built the website faster → Hermes gave live updates the whole time. OpenClaw went silent. → Hermes designed a cleaner page using the exact same AI model → And then Hermes did something OpenClaw can't do at all. It learned from the task. Every mistake gets logged. Every win gets saved as a reusable skill. The more you use it, the smarter it gets. OpenClaw doesn't do this unless you manually set up a learning file. Hermes does it automatically. Every single time. Other wins: → Runs free with Ollama + MiniMax → Works on Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, and Email → Supports 200+ AI models → Built-in migration tool from OpenClaw — one command to switch 11,600 GitHub stars. 142 contributors. If you're already on OpenClaw, you don't have to start over. Just ask Hermes to import everything.

Introducing Open Source AI CRM, that runs on your OpenClaw. A few weeks ago, we launched Ironclaw (An Open Source OpenClaw CRM Framework) which now has around 1.4k stars. A lot of people confused us with NearAI’s Ironclaw, so we changed our name to DenchClaw. OpenClaw today feels a lot like early React: the primitive is incredibly powerful, but the patterns are still forming, and everyone is piecing together their own way to actually use it. What made React explode wasn’t just React itself, but the emergence of frameworks like Gatsby and Next.js that turned raw capability into something opinionated, repeatable, and easy to adopt. That is how I think about DenchClaw. We are not just building on top of OpenClaw; we are trying to make it one of the clearest, most practical, and most complete ways to use OpenClaw in the real world. We are an OpenClaw Framework, we are aiming to be the most correct way to use OpenClaw. We entered Y Combinator with Merse (AI Audio Comic), it was an app that I personally never used. Michael Seibel confronted us on it, and said, “if you aren’t the best user of your consumer app, then who is?”. I now use DenchClaw daily for everything I do, it also works as a coding agent like Cursor, DenchClaw built DenchClaw. I am addicted to DenchClaw now that I can ask it, “hey in the companies table only show me the ones who have more than 5 employees” and it updates it live than me having to manually add a filter. On Dench, everything sits in a file system, the table filters, views, column toggles, calendar/gantt views, etc, so OpenClaw can directly work with it using Dench’s CRM skill. The CRM is built on top of DuckDB, the smallest, most performant and at the same time also feature rich database we could find. It creates a new OpenClaw🦞 profile called “dench”, and opens a new OpenClaw Gateway… that means you can run all your usual openclaw commands by just prefixing every command with `openclaw --profile dench` . It will start your gateway on port 19001 range. You will be able to access the DenchClaw frontend at localhost:3100. Once you open it on Safari, just add it to your Dock to use it as a PWA. Think of it as Cursor for your Mac which is based on OpenClaw. DenchClaw has a file tree view for you to use it as an elevated finder tool to do anything on your mac. I use it to create slides, do LinkedIn outreach using MY browser. DenchClaw sees what you see, does what you do. It’s the everything app, that sits locally on your mac. All yours. Just ask it “hey import my notion”, “hey import everything from my hubspot”, and it will literally go into your browser, export all objects and documents and put it in its own workspace that you can use. P.S. It comes with Garry Tan's GStack built in.

Jensen Huang: the first thing you should do when deploying an AI agent is take away all of its rights. “Then you give it access to files, data, tools, the network, or even the internet only if it needs it.” “You don’t put an agent into your company and give it access to everything.” “We don’t give that to people. We don’t give that to any level of executive.” “We have to apply the same philosophy to AI agents.” “That’s what OpenShell is: a force field around the agent, provisioning rights, responsibilities and access.”

You can spin up an AI workforce with one prompt. Here's why it works: it pulls the context the AI needs to lay the foundation. Give it: - your role - team size - the goals you want to hit. Then say "interview me." After that, build it out in four steps: 1) Start with 1 agent. - What does it feel like to work with one? 2) Make that agent proactive. - Now it's doing things on your behalf before you ask. 3) Expand to 2 agents. - One directs the other, or routes to it. - This is where you learn how context gets passed. 4) Scale the workforce. - A mission control where you watch it all move around. - Now you see what has to run in parallel, which agent never needed that tool, which one runs fine on a smaller model. - Not everything needs Opus. Sub-agents are haiku and sonnet. The catch: the prompt gets you agents with markdown files doing some stuff. Getting to the 90% plus level is iteration, and that part is specific to each person. Nobody can hand it to you. Start with one agent. Spin up one agent this week. The rest is discovery.

New Tools for a New Era. Coding agents like Claude and Cursor have dramatically reduced the time it takes to go from idea to functional software. But the experience of designing and refining with them sucks. One reason for this is that while the terminal is an incredible tool for communicating direction with language, it is a terrible tool for defining and exploring visual and interactive objects. Here is one idea for how we might fix a small part of that. In the old world, when you wanted to create a transition or animation in your app, you would type some code, refresh your local server, and click to run your animation. It probably wasn't right, because after all no one can know what 'cubic-bezier(0.3, 0.05, 0.45, 1)' really feels like when you read it. You need to see it. Feel it. Interact with it in a real world context. So you'd edit some values, save, refresh, and keep guessing and checking until it felt right. Today, you can write a quick, single-use tool that's a visual studio for designing animations. You can then configure some components and containers common in all apps, and explore different animations in real time, adjusting key properties, and getting it just right. Then, you can copy a highly detailed prompt (or export a skill containing all your animations) that captures your intent and direction with perfect clarity. Paste this into your terminal and your agent instantly implements it everywhere. To me, this is an improvement over the old world, and a better way to work in today's. I'm extremely excited to see the ways in which our ability to rapidly create software will shape how we design software tomorrow. Feedback, ideas, and critiques welcome!

Spark is starting to become real. A self-evolving intelligence, beyond a persistent memory, with multiple ways it learns and evolves Calibrate the intelligence while building, talking to it, sharing the things you love as content, UI, art, etc., While it learns constantly learns about the tools you use: Their strengths, shortcomings, and how to better use everything in its arsenal, as well as doing the same with the specialized agents and teams it orchestrates. In a few days, it gathered 30000 memories and 500+ insights, and continued to calibrate itself with me, which will speed up how we can vibe code the next projects by Spark doing at evolved understandings. Super excited to see how it evolves and can't wait to bring it to everyone. Already integrated it with many IDEs and LLMs. It also works on your local machine. As this conversation was recorded with Ollama qwen 2.5 running on my PC.

THIS GUY BUILT A COMMAND CENTER FOR MANAGING AI AGENT TEAMS he was running 20+ agents through openclaw. all from terminal tabs and Discord. 12 tabs open. still losing track of who's doing what. which cron failed. so he built a dashboard that gives you one place to see everything: > org map showing the full agent hierarchy, who reports to who and what tools each agent has > chat with any agent through a real UI instead of bouncing between terminals > kanban board for tracking tasks across all agents > cron monitor with pipeline visualizations so you can see which jobs are failing > memory browser to read through all agent knowledge files in one place you can even point it at your openclaw workspace and it auto-discovers every agent from their config files. zero setup. AND ITS OPEN SOURCE TOO.

OpenClaw has 186K GitHub stars and 1.5M compromised API keys. I needed a secure alternative. So, I built it with n8n and Claude Opus 4.6. It can already: - Reply to your Telegram messages - Access selected folders from your laptop - Access Gmail, Drive, Notion, Linear, etc. - Install new local tools in a sandbox - Run autonomously for hours - Create multiple subagents - Learn from experience - Wake up regularly But, unlike OpenClaw, it: - Can't access your API keys - Can't modify its environment - Can't access folders you haven't shared - Can't access tools you haven't approved - Must get your confirmation, e.g., when sending emails These aren’t prompt instructions. They’re hard architectural boundaries — Docker isolation, mounted folder permissions, n8n’s tool approval system. Key components: ✅ The VPS on Hostinger hosts n8n and a sandbox container. Agents can also connect to my laptop's sandbox via a Claudeflare tunnel + Desktop Commander MCP. ✅ The Manager agent is the brain. It plans, decides, delegates, and talks to the user. It never touches files. It never runs scripts. It works entirely from executor summaries. ✅ The Executor agents are the hands. Each receives a task (what to do + why it matters), decides how to execute it, and reports back. They can install new tools and execute code only in their dedicated sandboxes. ✅ Data Tables in n8n store both memories and sessions — no external database, no vector store, no infrastructure. Just rows in a table. Turns out, that's enough. Two memory types: - Manager memory: user preferences, facts, corrections, relationship, skills, context - Executor memory: what tools are installed, what’s broken, workarounds ✅ Sessions are short-term state for multi-step tasks. Original request, plan, assumptions, and what happened so far. When the Manager loops with fresh context, the session is all it gets. That's a Ralph Wiggum loop. I've been using it for 5 days. And already can't imagine not having it on my phone.

OpenClaw has 186K GitHub stars and 1.5M compromised API keys. I needed a secure alternative. So, I built it with n8n and Claude Opus 4.6. It can already: - Reply to your Telegram messages - Access selected folders from your laptop - Access Gmail, Drive, Notion, Linear, etc. - Install new local tools in a sandbox - Run autonomously for hours - Create multiple subagents - Learn from experience - Wake up regularly But, unlike OpenClaw, it: - Can't access your API keys - Can't modify its environment - Can't access folders you haven't shared - Can't access tools you haven't approved - Must get your confirmation, e.g., when sending emails These aren’t prompt instructions. They’re hard architectural boundaries — Docker isolation, mounted folder permissions, n8n’s tool approval system. Key components: ✅ The VPS on Hostinger hosts n8n and a sandbox container. Agents can also connect to my laptop's sandbox via a Claudeflare tunnel + Desktop Commander MCP. ✅ The Manager agent is the brain. It plans, decides, delegates, and talks to the user. It never touches files. It never runs scripts. It works entirely from executor summaries. ✅ The Executor agents are the hands. Each receives a task (what to do + why it matters), decides how to execute it, and reports back. They can install new tools and execute code only in their dedicated sandboxes. ✅ Data Tables in n8n store both memories and sessions — no external database, no vector store, no infrastructure. Just rows in a table. Turns out, that's enough. Two memory types: - Manager memory: user preferences, facts, corrections, relationship, skills, context - Executor memory: what tools are installed, what’s broken, workarounds ✅ Sessions are short-term state for multi-step tasks. Original request, plan, assumptions, and what happened so far. When the Manager loops with fresh context, the session is all it gets. That's a Ralph Wiggum loop. I've been using it for 5 days. And already can't imagine not having it on my phone.

Imagine an AI application that can type anywhere you can and use the full context of what's on your screen. This is the application we all deserve (at least if you have macOS.) Check out Omnipilot. It's an app that works with every other macOS application and uses Claude Sonet 3.5 in the background—it also supports Gemini and GPT-4o. Here is the idea: You can use the tool to ask questions about anything on your screen. Or you can use it to autocomplete the text you are typing. You don't need to copy and paste anymore or waste your time providing context to a model. It sees what you see. It works right where you are. That's pretty cool. Here are a couple of cool examples: • Use it to reply to an email • Use it in the terminal to autocomplete a command • Use it to finish a document • Use to send a message on Slack AI at the system level is bonkers. You can read a ton more on their Product Hunt launch page: Thanks to the Omnipilot team for collaborating with me on this post!

I made the worlds best Clipboard for your AI Agents Its called Bluey and its a dumb pointer which you can use to give 10x better context to your agent And you can point at your screen, talk to it, and it will generate a really good annotated screenshot which you can now give to your AI Agent You can use it while designing your website You can use it while explaining something on your screen. And it understands you and you can be really vague about things like "move this" , modify the color "here" and it will understand what you are pointing at. Im loving using it and I built it for myself as I was tired of clicking screenshots all the time and attaching it to my codex or claude code sessions Now I can just point, speak or type and drag and drop it anywhere I am giving free access to it in the comments and I would love for you to try it out. Join the discord and I am sharing the download link there. By the way everything stays 100 percent local. No screenshots are shared anywhere!

Codex has become a real game engine... If you take the time to make it become one. You can do EVERYTHING in it. And I think I've cracked the perfect custom UX? I'd like to show you how I use it. See video below 4 steps: - Create a custom tool you need, like one to generate new buildings that matches you game art direction - Ask Codex to open this tool in a worktree (important) - Attach the browser view of your tool in the Thread - Use pinned thread to have easy access to the tool And there you go: you have what I call a "codex-augmented" tool, which it's incredibly powerful because - the tool will speed up your development immensely AND also: - you can improve the tool as you use it with codex For example, let's say I want to add a new button to my 3D building gen tool so I can generate a thumbnail of the 3D building. - I click on "Building Lab" - I prompt Codex "add a button to generate thumbnails" - I have my new button - I can use the tool right away in the pinned Thread You can then use the /yeet skill to commit, push and create a PR with the changes you made to your tool. I have tools for everything - To manage my tasks in Linear - To do content / social media / steam marketing - To localize the game in 9 languages - To manage sounds, musics and voice lines - To generate and fine tune buildings - To create and animate procedural zombies - To tweak environnement/decor and map design - To manage my analytics - To simulate late game perf I'll be honest it's incredibly powerful and easy!
