Introducing Clips - 100% free, open source, agent-native alternative to Loom Unlike Loom, agent's can fully understand Clips just from a URL. Every Clip comes with APIs and metadata for agents to explore their contents. Agents can "see and hear" anything in a Clip - not just transcripts, but...

Introducing the Clips chrome extension - the easiest way to send bug reports to agents with video, transcript, and browser debug info captured automatically. 100% free and open source. If you are like me and get tired of manually typing instructions to agents, attaching screenshots, pasting debug logs, and all of that, this might be your new favorite tool. With the Clips chrome extension, you can just click the Clips icon, hit record, and start talking. Visually demonstrate your issue, go through the flow, point out what’s broken. Clips will capture everything on your screen, plus network requests, browser logs, client errors, and all the details around them. And it redacts sensitive information. Then it gives you a link you can send to humans so they can play it and take a look. Or, more importantly, just give it to your agents by just pasting the URL to them. The link has special metadata for agents so just from the URL, the agent can pull all information from the clip automatically. No plugin or MCP server required. That means it can "see and hear" what’s in the video - read the transcript, grab snapshots at any timestamp, and inspect the logs and network requests that were shared with it. So whether you want to quickly demo an issue and send all that context to an agent, or get better bug reports from teammates, recording and sending Clips makes that super easy. Unlike expensive apps like Loom, this is all 100% free and open source. The framework that powers this, plus a bunch of other free applications, is open source too. You can just sign up and use it, or fork it and customize it to your needs. This, in my opinion, is the future of software. Rather than bloated SaaS that charges you a ton of money and still doesn’t even have the things you need, we get free open source canonical apps that you can fork and customize in any way you want. I'll link to all this stuff in the replies. If you try it, let me know your feedback.

How I have Claude automate anything I do on my computer just by showing it: I use the free Clips app and hit record to start recording. Then I just do the action - like navigating to Rippling and approving any unapproved time off - and I’ll often just talk out loud as I do it explaining any add’l details like I would when showing a human. The Clips app captures everything on your screen and everything you say, and transforms it into a format Claude can “see and hear”. You'll then get a link that you can easily share with Claude (or humans too). I’ll paste it to Claude and say something like, "automate this for me every day at 8:00 AM." The link has special metadata that agents like Claude can discover. It exposes APIs to see the full transcript with timestamps and grab screenshots of what was on your screen at any of those timestamps. Once it's created the routine, you can go to the Routines tab in Claude Code desktop app. This also works with the CLI, Claude Cowork, Codex etc. You’ll see your new routine there, and you can just hit Run Now to have it start running it. Video attached shows this step by step. The Clips apps is free and open source - I’ll link to it and the source code in the thread.

Building AI agents and tools is getting ridiculously easy! Here is a pretty impressive FREE and Open-Source AI agent builder that runs on your computer. It's a desktop app you can install on Mac or Windows. Link: • Free • 100% no-code: You can type what you want, and the tool will build everything for you. • You can use local models like DeepSeek or Qwen, or connect to cloud models like GPT-4o, Claude, or Gemini with your API key. • You can turn the tools you build into MCP Servers. I recorded a quick video to show you how easy it is to build something from scratch.

The #1 problem with coding agents right now: Ask them to solve one problem, and they will make 10 other changes you didn't want. This happens to me every day. It happens to everyone I talk to as well. We have a solution for this now. The team Augment Code released a "Task List" feature for their coding assistant that solves this problem. Augment Code is partnering with me on this post. In case you haven't used them before: • Augment Code is a fully-fledged coding assistant • Their specialty are large projects • Fastest coding indexing I've seen • Has a free forever community edition Now, you can ask their coding agent to generate a Task List before doing anything. This will give you a plan you can review, edit, and augment if you need to. You can export this plan, load it on a different session, or even share it across projects. It makes a huge difference: The task list constrains the agent so you won't get any "unintended" changes anymore. It also puts you in control of everything the agent does. Check the video to see the agent working through a task list. You can also try this 100% free: (By the way, they also have support for remote agents. You can basically have those agents write your code while you are sleeping.)

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!

Introducing Agent Wikis! I've been using llm wikis (or knowledge bases) for research and videos for a while to ensure the information I'm providing is always up-to-date and accurate. Now you can access them for free! Just point your agent at to access wikis on many topics, including Hermes Agent, Hyperframes, Google Ads, and llama.cpp. They can be queried through a simple MCP server. Everything has been designed to be agent-friendly and lightweight (no context bloat). This is a beta release, so please let me know of any bugs or issues (I'm sure there are one or two). You can also join the waitlist if you would like us to create and maintain your own private wiki, or if you are a project owner you can request one for your project to make sure your users (and their agents) don't run into any common issues (and also be featured on the site). Thank you!

Here's a fresh demo I made for Zo Computer - Zo is OpenClaw, without the setup - But it's more than that: it's a Personal Cloud - You can chat with any kind of file in your Zo - You can scheduled tasks for your AI - I made a task that checks what I'm playing on Spotify every minute, finds the corresponding YouTube video, and adds the track to a SQLite database on my Zo - My personal website (hosted on my Zo) displays those tracks - You can text or email Zo. I made this website just by texting Zo! - Tons of built-in integrations, or you can just ask Zo to integrate anything - There's a built-in browser, which Zo can use - We snapshot your computer all the time, so you can rollback to any point in the past - The hardware is elastic, so you can scale up as needed Thank you 金子晋輔 Shinsuke Kaneko 🐘 + Yusuke Endo for inspiring the video after our conversation today. Excited to bring Zo to Japan! 🗾

Airtable's Howie Liu says that basically everyone will need to graduate from being ICs to ICs that manage teams of 20-30 agents: "The best developers today don't just sit there in front of their IDEs and synchronously talk to their agent." "[Instead], you have like 30 separate branches that are each being worked on by a different agent. And you can have the agents continue to update the branches based on human and other agent feedback." "And I think this whole idea of it taking hours for that entire loop to complete — agent pushes some changes, the changes get feedback from other agents or humans, the agent responds to that — that whole loop could be hours, not just minutes. So you're not going to just sit there and watch it one at a time." "But the powerful thing about this is, each one is still actually operating faster than a human engineer. One agent on one branch can do the work of maybe three humans, operating 3x as fast. So it's like a 10x leverage factor just for one agent." "But the best engineers are now able to multitask and say, 'I'm going to oversee my own little team of 20-30 agents working concurrently.'" "Everyone needs to graduate from being an IC to an IC manager of agents. Meaning, if you're a VC analyst, your job should no longer be to go synchronously research one company. You need to go and research like 30 companies, and do them all faster, better, and higher quality than you could before." "That's the greatest leap that is going to be challenging for a lot of people in a lot of roles. Because it's a totally different mentality in how you operate, and what your role is."

Introducing FlowMaker 🌊🤖 A fully open-source, low-code way of building custom agent workflows. Build agents via a drag and drop interface, run it directly in the app, and also directly export it into a deeply custom workflow backed by LlamaIndex 🦙.TS. It’s a fantastic visual tool to help you get started with agents but also gives you full customizability to build the deepest, most advanced workflows, since everything is backed by code. There’s a lot of great low-code agent tools already, but this is a fully-open source template that you can use or clone/customize for your own needs. It was a fun project by Laurie Voss and is intended to give users an easy-on ramp onto our powerful agent orchestration tooling. Also integrates with LlamaCloud in case you want to integrate your own knowledge base into your agent. FlowMaker app: FlowMaker Repo: LlamaCloud:

This is probably the biggest news yet in software going headless, and will bring knowledge work agents to the masses. The new ChatGPT agents have access to any of the tools and data you want to work with, with complete coding and tool use available to them. Here's an example of a custom sales assistant agent uses Box as a knowledge source for accessing enterprise content securely to answer questions and generate new content on the fly. The workflows can obviously vastly far more complex as the agent can use any of the tools within Box available via MCP and CLI. This precisely what agents will start to look like for knowledge work. You'll be able to spin them up in the foreground or background to help augment work. Big opportunity right now for headless platforms, and for all the new builders and designers of these agents in the enterprise.

Here is an open-source tool to generate a complete dataset. 1. Describe the data you want 2. An orchestrator agent searches the web 3. Sub-agents run in parallel to fetch the data 4. You get a structured dataset you can download For example, you can run Bigset with the query "all leica lenses being sold on amazon", or "leica stores in kyoto with their opening hours and ratings". Bigset uses TinyFish's free Search and Fetch APIs in the background. You can configure it to refresh the data on a schedule. You can self-host it with your own keys. Here is the GitHub repository: You can get free TinyFish API keys here: Thanks to the TinyFish team for partnering with me on this post.

AI film agents are here! The new vid.fun tool is great for anyone who wants to create AI videos, their system uses AI agents to automatically generate complete film storyboards, images, video, VFX, and even music in seconds. How this works?! You just drop your idea into a box (can be a prompt, link, or even a PDF!) and the AI does the heavy lifting, researching, and gathering inspiration. Then you can pick from tons of style options or use your custom LoRA. The coolest part? You still maintain creative control! You can define and make adjustments to any part, without getting lost in complex editing software. For this work, I chose my Lora "Soft Sketch" and Luma for animation of course the agents automatically add soundtracks through Udio, or you upload your audio file. Has anyone else tried this yet?

Today we open the Zapier SDK to everyone. If you're building with AI agents, this is for you. I've been using this for 2 months. It's totally changed how I do my job. You install it in your coding agent. Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, whatever you use. Now that agent has access to 8,000+ apps through Zapier and can do anything those APIs can do. I think it’s the most powerful thing we’ve launched in years. Now in open beta. Just give this link right to your agent:

Sequoia partner Pat Grady says software is shifting from apps that demand attention to agents that work quietly in the background. This shift will change what moats will look like, and will be especially hard for incumbents to deal with. "It's two very different business paradigms," he says. "In an era of apps, you want a lot of surface area with your customers, you want them to spend a lot of time in your product." "In an era of agents, things can just be running passively in the background. The amount of surface area you have with your customers, the amount of time they might spend in your product might be de minimis. So the nature of the moat that you [will need to build] is different." "I think we'll see a lot of companies in the coming years able to live in the software world and have some of the workflows people are accustomed to. And then separately they can deploy these passive agents that kind of function as coworkers who just come back to you when things are done."

Bash is all you need! Which is why I'm introducing my holiday project: just-bash just-bash is a pretty complete implementation of bash in TypeScript designed to be used as a bash tool by AI agents. Because it turns out agents love exploring data via shell scripts, even beyond coding. It comes with grep, sed, awk and the 99th percentile features that an agent like Claude Code or Cursor would use. In fact, Claude Code can use it for secure bash execution. In the package - A bash-tool for AI SDK - A binary for use by yourself or your coding agents - An overlay filesystem to feed files to your agent securely - A Vercel Sandbox compatible API, so you can quickly upgrade to a real VM if you need to run binaries - An example AI agent that explores the just-bash code base using just-bash - I imported the Oils shell bash compatibility suite and just-bash passes a very good chunk What is interesting about this codebase: It was essentially entirely written by Opus 4.5. Coding agents love bash and they are good at reproducing it. They are also great at text-book recursive descent parsers and AST tweet-walk interpreters. That said, it is, like, a lot of code and I didn't read it all 😅. This is very much a hack, but it also seems to be _really_ useful. I haven't really found anything agents want to use that it doesn't support and it's fast and secure (caveats apply). It doesn't have write access to your computer and the filesystem is given a root that the agent cannot escape from. Find it at Related: Our recent blog post how we migrated our data analysis agent to bash tools and achieved incredible quality improvements The video shows the example agent investigating the just-bash code base

Because it turns out agents love exploring data via shell scripts, even beyond coding. It comes with grep, sed, awk and the 99th percentile features that an agent like Claude Code or Cursor would use. In fact, Claude Code can use it for secure bash execution. In the package - A bash-tool for AI SDK - A binary for use by yourself or your coding agents - An overlay filesystem to feed files to your agent securely - A Vercel Sandbox compatible API, so you can quickly upgrade to a real VM if you need to run binaries - An example AI agent that explores the just-bash code base using just-bash - I imported the Oils shell bash compatibility suite and just-bash passes a very good chunk What is interesting about this codebase: It was essentially entirely written by Opus 4.5. Coding agents love bash and they are good at reproducing it. They are also great at text-book recursive descent parsers and AST tweet-walk interpreters. That said, it is, like, a lot of code and I didn't read it all 😅. This is very much a hack, but it also seems to be _really_ useful. I haven't really found anything agents want to use that it doesn't support and it's fast and secure (caveats apply). It doesn't have write access to your computer and the filesystem is given a root that the agent cannot escape from.

AI agents are a real paradigm shift You can literally make your computer work for you to do any task. All I've used is: - Replit to get it running - Browser Use (free & open source) - Google AI Studio for the API - DeepSeek R1 to implement it (I'm not paying $200 for ChatGPT sorry) Here the AI agent fetches information on its own and reuses it to write new content. But you can use it for literally any industry. Run it once or schedule it at regular intervals... you're in total control And it's nothing like automating on Make or Zapier: AI agents adapt to every situation and can handle far more complex scenarios.
