Worth noting the "Unix-inspired" framing is the HN title, not the README — the project itself pitches "minimalistic" and "optimized for memory footprint." Curious what the author means by Unix-inspired specifically, since a single-binary TUI running a multi-tool agent loop doesn't immediately read as do-one-thing-well-and-compose.


Working on a few things:

Rundash (rundash.ai) - an easy way to create automated AI agents that can run tasks for you with over 1000+ integrations. Built this from my own needs to run better meetings, discover product insights etc..

Provision (provision.ai) - how I run a team of openclaw agents without burning money on Mac minis. Each agent is given a dedicated email inbox (powered by Mailboxkit) and a dedicated chrome browser that you can connect via browser to unblock if needed. Currently doing some pilots with a few startups. It's interesting to learn how teams want to use AI agents like OpenClaw.

[unnamed project] - a macOS menu-bar AI agent that drives your real apps similar to Perplexity Computer. Hit ⌘⌘, type a task (optionally @-mentioning apps like @slack), and an agent Claude Code or Codex; clicks, types, scrolls, switches apps, and reads the screen via accessibility APIs, with a visible cursor so you can watch it work. Everything runs locally on your own logged-in Mac (BYOK to Anthropic/OpenAI), so there’s no cloud VM or re-auth flow. It also snapshots the frontmost app for ambient context ("summarize this page" just works) and supports parallel tasks with persistent history/workspaces. Pre-release, but the core bet is that desktop agents should feel like a teammate living in your menu bar, not a browser tab or rented remote computer.


Very interesting product. How is this compared to https://save.day?


I built https://storypanda.ai a while back to help with storytime with my daugther.. check it out, happy to take feedback.


Interesting, something similar to what I have in mind.


I did take break in those hours. Honestly it was tough to survive on 4 hours of sleep during weekdays. I usually slept in a bit on Sundays.

I would also recommend not to do it this way. It was brutal.


It's tough but feels worth it - I never feel like I've missed out on anything with my daughter since I'm always around. I think if I can just structure my day better it'll all work out a lot better, just haven't figured out how yet!


Awesome. I built StoryPanda[1] to do something similar. My daughter, and kids of my friends absolutely love creating a story every night.

Hey Obaid, I built something similar, https://storybird.ai/. Want to chat?



Your https://storynoworky.ai unfortunately :(


I just wanted to continue the pattern in the thread :D


This looks great! What is the text-to-image model that you have used?


This is pretty neat. I am going to use it to monitor myself during the calls. I am curious about the tech behind this. Speaker identification locally on the machine seems like what's happening here. The nerd in me wants more tech deep dive :)


Let me know how it goes – Would love to hear your experience.

It's a small but solid ML model that I've been working on. And I've got a 'headphones'-free feature on my personal roadmap, too!


I have been looking into this lately as well. My problem is that even if I visit back those pages, I don't remember the context of why I bookmarked it.

I have been toying with a chrome extension that enables me to add "annotations" to these pages and it helps me find websites based on my note search. It's far from perfect but I realized that I remember my notes / thoughts more than the website url or name.


https://histre.com/ lets you add notes and highlights to your bookmarks, if that's what you're looking for. Disclosure: I'm working on it.


Neat. I will check it out!


In Firefox I heavily used tags, "tags are great, mini notes, super useful", but they're missing from Brave, Chrome, etc.


This is awesome (in a crazy way). I was playing with Resemble.ai [1] yesterday and was surprised by how good it was in replicating my voice with just a few minutes of dataset. This technology is going to keep on getting better by the minute.

As with any piece of technology, there are always good and bad actors.
