Got it installed, been playing with it for a bit.Had a bit of jankiness during setup as I fought with llama.cpp bugs. There are a few issues around models reported by the provider changing, refreshing as they change, had a few instances of "New Chat" showing one model then hitting llama.cpp with another, etc. Sorry, been traveling for a bit and…

I have a more basic question; I am trying to understand its purpose.How does this compare with connecting your agent to your ticket tracker? Linear can dispatch the agents: https://linear.app/agents https://linear.app/docs/coding-sessionsIf it is about local work, how does it compare with simply having your agent monitor a directory for ticket…

This looks great. I've been playing around with GrokBot, and like a lot of what it does, but would much, much prefer an open source project to manage various asynchronous tasks.What I like about GrokBot is the combination of freeform agent discussions, scheduled jobs, agent-to-agent communication, per-agent memory, and the fact that they all get a…

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll give GrokBot a closer look. We’re focused on being open source and decoupled from any particular model provider, but it’s great to see a lot of capable tools popping up in this space.We do ship a QuickJS code interpreter, but otherwise, sandboxing is something we deferred until after launch to make sure we have time…

Author here - thanks so much for the great questions! Our post on the AWS Open Source blog has more screenshots and an architecture diagram if you want to give it a skim:

Ideal for https://github.com/giannisanni/pulsar/ or kimi 3 on CPUprobably 30s for one token is too long for normal people but for agents it is ok

Was watching a video from GitLab, posted 7 months ago about something similar.You might find it interesting.

Why bother depending on DeepAgents and LangChain etc. My professional impression is such Middleware no longer brings anything if you primarily maintain the codebase with coding tools.

Why does it have to be a desktop app vs a self hostable web app?That way it can truly run asynchronously, even with the computer switched off.
