GitHub - willdady/platypus: A modern, multi-tenant platform for building and managing AI Agents A modern, multi-tenant platform for building and managing AI Agents - willdady/platypus

I've recently added 2 NEW major features to Platypus:

⏰Schedules allow you to configure a one time or reoccurring trigger for an agent.

πŸ“‹Kanban boards are the glue between you and your agents. An agent can read your boards, execute work and move cards between columns.

Ever had one of those months where people around you are making such emphatically reckless decisions and no-one else seems to care? The beginning of this year is like slow motion car crash.

Latest release of Platypus now supports sub-agents! This is considered experimental so may have some rough edges! Give it a whirl and let me know what you think!

New version of Platypus released. Agent list now shows tool and skill counts and the elicitation tool will stop the chat loop after asking a follow up question.

I recently open sourced Platypus, a multi-tenant LLM UI similar to Open Web UI. ✨
Built on Next.js, Hono.js, Better Auth and AI SDK.
MIT licenced.
I'd love it if you (🫡) checked it out!

As a long-time Chrome user I recently made the switch to Firefox (on Mac). My main motivation for switching was the more "open" nature of the project.
I think I am going to switch back. I've had issues where video calls simply don't work and I often get choppy video playback. Disappointing πŸ˜”

Someone needs to make a job search site targeting tech folks which aggregates other job sites but rewords job ads so the tech stack appears at the top!
An LLM would make light work of that.

Great to see AWS has now added a "stack refactoring" feature to CloudFormation!
This should prevent the need to delete-then-import to move resources between stacks, which in my experience has always been a butt-clenching experience.

GitHub - willdady/foreman: Foreman is a Rust based job scheduler and executor agent Foreman is a Rust based job scheduler and executor agent - willdady/foreman

✨New features✨
Foreman now expects to retrieve an array of zero-or-more jobs per-request to the control server (previously, zero-or-one).
Also, it's now possible to configure maximum concurrent jobs!

Finally got around to watching Skeleton Crew.
A nice standalone story. I felt the pirate theme was a bit too "arrr matey" in parts but overall I'm a sucker for the "kids on bikes have adventure" genre.

✨New feature!✨
Foreman, will now clean-up (delete) stopped containers after a configurable timeout.
At this stage foreman does not stop or remove containers when SIGINT or SIGTERM is received. This will likely be added next.

Building effective agents A post for developers with advice and workflows for building effective AI agents

I enjoyed reading this article from Anthropic on various patterns used in building AI agents.
I've read a few articles now saying that using LLM APIs directly VS frameworks like Langchain is preferred as abstraction added by the latter make things harder to debug.
