early signs of openai's response in the agent-centric world (yes we know about openclaw)
as everything becomes more and more crowded, the lowest friction for consumer will still be the biggest winner
(although the deep macos native integrations could be a huge winning lever)
OpenAI is preparing Agents in ChatGPT (codename Hermes) including agents builder (studio), templates, schedules, option to use your agent in Slack, add apps, skills, files, memory, instructions and more
- "Keep work moving 24/7 with agents"
- "Start with a proven workflow - Pick a template and get your agent up and running in minutes"
- "Build agents that reply in Slack - Add agents to Slack to handle common questions, without the back-and-forth or manual digging"
- "Create agents tailored to how you work - Customize each agent with tools and skills, then schedule when it runs"
And a few other new changes including
- "ImageGen likeness customization" (reference photo - this is the photo that ChatGPT refers to when you create an image of yourself) & "Images 2.0 Giveaway"
- "Audio summary" (public-radio style recap/podcast, executive briefing, study guide, etc.)
this is pretty cool
some MIT students turned a building into a giant playable game of Tetris on Saturday at midnight

Introducing Claude Opus 4.7, our most capable Opus model yet.
It handles long-running tasks with more rigor, follows instructions more precisely, and verifies its own outputs before reporting back.
You can hand off your hardest work with less supervision.
The Gemini app is now on Mac.
With this new desktop app, you can access Gemini from any screen with Option + Space and share your window to get answers based on the documents, code, or data you're working on.
Our co-founder, Simon’s record is letting a coding agent run for 13 days straight.
His bedtime routine now includes giving his agents enough work to keep running until breakfast 🍳

seems like a lot of hype around this product - android has been ahead of the game with these types of interfaces but maybe context is the missing piece
excited to share what we have been up to.
your iphone’s home screen hasn’t changed in ~20 years. it’s the same static grid of icons since launch with zero awareness of your actual life.
@skye is a new agentic home screen for iphone.
no telegram. no mac mini. & no claws required. skye is ambient intelligence that just works.
it continuously listens to your context & acts on it. it builds your reading lists, gives you personalized weather, drafts email replies, prepares you for meetings & trips, flags suspicious charges, works through your reminders, tracks your health, & gives you one tap intel on wherever you are (restaurants, museums, neighborhoods, etc).
all surfaced on your home screen.
over the next few posts i’ll break down how it works, why we built it, & why we think it deserves to exist in the world.
beta starts today. if you’re on the list, you’ll get access very soon. app store shortly after. deeply appreciate you all following along on this fun little journey. also please join our discord !
Every single project this year was incredible. It was genuinely hard to pick winners when the goal was to be as silly as possible.
But the silliness doesn't end here; it's just the beginning.
📆 See you soon (Two words - May + SF *hint hint*).
Get ready to be even more silly.
What a weekend (or weekend ago). You showed up, shipped, and made the internet sillier, and some mariachi as well.
Thank you to everyone who came out to Silly Hacks NYC, whether you were hacking IRL or online.
🫵 YOU made this the best one yet.
Here are the winners ⬇️
Every major AI lab shipped "AI that controls your computer" in the past month.
Anthropic has Dispatch + Agents. OpenAI funded OpenClaw. NVIDIA forked it for enterprise. Meta bought Manus. Perplexity built a whole Mac Mini UI.
8 months ago, we were debating whether AI could write emails.
The hard part of AI in 2026 isn't the models. They ship every two weeks, and they're all (pretty) good.
The hard part is figuring out what to build.
Design, data, eval, or picking which tools to bet on.
Instead of cherry-picking models, just pick a lane and get good at it.
Silly Hacks submissions are closing!
Come find out who'll be the winners soon @memelordtech's event TONIGHT
be a little (a very) silly and watch some reels with us https://t.co/e9qZhjN75J
