All-in-one open-source backend for agentic coding: Postgres, auth, storage, edge functions, model gateway and site hosting — your coding agent operates it over MCP.

Local-first desktop workbench for orchestrating coding agents: per-repo workspaces, task dispatch, live status and runnable actions — GUI plus CLI, Apache-2.0.
Turns your coding-CLI subscriptions (Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Kimi, Grok) into a local OpenAI/Gemini/Claude-compatible API — multi-account rotation in one Go proxy.

Encrypted secrets store for Claude Code: macOS-Keychain-backed vault with MCP server, CLI, commit-safe secret:// .env placeholders and a native input dialog.

browser-use's thinnest LLM-to-Chrome bridge: all 652 CDP methods as typed JS calls over one WebSocket — no click() helpers, no rails; the protocol is the API.
Persistent, secure sandboxes for AI agents on Firecracker microVMs — TypeScript and Python SDKs, CLI and console; the runtime is a hosted service, the SDK stack is Apache-2.0.
Open-source RAG-as-a-service (the Carbon.ai alternative): upload any data source, get vector search and a chat API in minutes — Supabase-based, multi-tenant with RLS, streaming responses.

Visual workspace to build, deploy and orchestrate AI agents — 1,000+ integrations, knowledge bases, built-in tables and files, schedules and run monitoring. Self-host via npx simstudio or Docker.

Desktop AI coworker (YC S24) that indexes email, meetings and Slack into a living backlinked knowledge graph, then acts on it — email client, browser, meeting notes, background agents, code mode.

A self-hosted personal AI agent in a single ~9MB Go binary — persistent memory, 16 tools + MCP, skills, cron/heartbeat, and Telegram/Discord/Slack/WhatsApp channels. Runs on a $5 VPS.
8 AI agents + 14 skills that run your Obsidian vault through chat — capture, triage, search, linking, vault health, transcription, email and calendar. One codebase, four agent platforms, any language.
Rust-core incremental indexing engine: declare Target = F(Source) in Python and it keeps vector/graph/relational targets fresh forever, reprocessing only the delta — with per-row lineage.

HumanSignal's autonomous data-labeling agent framework: define a skill, give it ground truth, and the agent iterates — learn, apply, reflect — until it hits your accuracy threshold.
Email infrastructure for AI agents — send, receive, search and auto-extract verification codes via CLI/SDK, backed by a Cloudflare Worker; free hosted @mails.dev mailboxes or self-host.
A multi-agent software factory: describe a task, agents plan (PROMPT.md), build, review and merge in isolated worktrees — kanban + graph board, missions, agent chat rooms, any model. Early preview.

npx cc-lens: local analytics dashboard over ~/.claude — sessions with replay, cost and cache breakdowns, insights and budgets, team-adoption mode, a yearly Wrapped card. No cloud, no telemetry.

Layer-by-layer inference that runs 70B models on a 4GB GPU — no quantization required; 405B on 8GB, DeepSeek-V3 671B on ~12GB. One AutoModel line for most open model families.
120 marketing skills + 8 commands for Claude Code across 7 disciplines — SEO/GEO, influencer, paid ads, email, launch, social, brand — on one contract with 8 benchmark-driven auditor gates.

Plugin for Claude Code and 16 other hosts that turns any codebase into an interactive knowledge graph — multi-agent analysis, layered dashboard, guided tours, diff-impact view, domain mapping.

Giskard v3: modular Python evals and red-teaming for agentic systems — scenario-based checks with LLM-as-judge, plus an automatic vulnerability scanner across OWASP LLM Top-10 categories.
Paid-media operations skill for Claude Code across 12 ad platforms — source-grounded audits with deterministic scoring, versioned JSON reports, and account changes gated behind approval and rollback.
15 marketing skills for Claude Code — /market audit runs 5 parallel agents scoring a site across 6 dimensions; copy, email sequences, ad creative, competitor intel and client-ready PDF reports.

A disciplined 3-agent dev process as context files — Architect plans, Builder builds the brief, Reviewer gates — running in one Claude Code session via subagents. Token-frugal by design.

TIGER-AI-Lab's fully open deep-research recipe: 96K long-horizon trajectories (adopted by NVIDIA Nemotron), a 30B-A3B model hitting 54.8% BrowseComp-Plus, training code and eval harness.

OpenCode plugin giving coding agents persistent cross-session memory — local SQLite + vector search, automatic memory capture, user-profile learning, and a web UI. Nothing leaves your machine.

MCP server that puts MetaTrader 5 in an LLM's hands — natural-language trading, account and market data, order management over stdio/SSE, plus REST and WebSocket quotes. 32 tools, MIT.

Local-first dashboard over ~/.claude — sessions, timelines, per-session costs, tool/agent/skill/plugin analytics, live activity via hooks, and ticket linking. No cloud, no telemetry.

Live node-graph visualization of Claude Code and Codex sessions — watch agents think, branch into subagents and call tools in real time. VS Code extension or npx web app. Apache-2.0.

HKUDS multi-agent video studio: turns an idea, novel or screenplay into a finished film — scriptwriting, storyboards, consistent characters, then rendering via Seedance/Nano Banana/Omni APIs.
