Starting this account to document everything I'm learning about AI and startups.
The plan:
- Share the AI tools I'm actually using (not just hype)
- Break down what's working for founders right now
- Build in public and share the wins and failures
If you're building with AI or thinking about it, follow along. Let's figure this out together.
SOMEONE JUST OPEN SOURCED HERMES AGENT AND IT HAS 99K STARS. It's a Python agent that grows with you! Here are some highlights:
1\ it has a unique feature set
2\ its community is already massive: over 90k stars
3\ the code and issues make for excellent learning material.

THIS OPEN SOURCE ZAPIER ALTERNATIVE JUST HIT 184K STARS AND NOW IT HAS NATIVE AI AGENTS
n8n. self-host it. 400+ integrations. visual builder. completely free.
forget paying $50/mo for zapier — this does everything it does plus AI:
1\ drag-and-drop workflow builder with AI agent nodes
2\ connect to OpenAI, Slack, Google Sheets, anything — 400+ integrations
3\ built-in memory, chat models, and tool calling
4\ self-host on your own server or use their cloud
5\ mix visual building with custom code when you need it
zapier charges per task. n8n is unlimited. self-hosted. yours forever.
the workflow in the screenshot? an AI agent that reads chat messages, thinks, and routes to success/failure with memory.

BYTEDANCE JUST OPEN SOURCED THEIR AI RESEARCH AGENT AND IT ALREADY HAS 62K STARS
DeerFlow. it researches, codes, and creates — handling tasks that take minutes to hours.
TikTok's parent company built this internally then gave it away:
1\ SuperAgent harness — not one agent, an orchestration layer
2\ sandboxes, memory, tools, skills, and sub-agents built in
3\ handles multi-step research workflows end to end
4\ LangGraph-powered with its own gateway API
5\ full web UI with one-click deploy
ByteDance could've kept this proprietary. they didn't.

what HyperFrames + Claude Code can do:
motion video done with 2 prompts, 10 mins.
here's a quick 4-min tutorial on how you do it yourself

THIS OPEN SOURCE CODING AGENT JUST HIT 146K STARS AND NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT IT
opencode. runs in your terminal. MIT license. works with Claude, GPT, Gemini — any model.
while everyone debates cursor vs windsurf, this shipped:
1\ full terminal TUI — not a chatbot, an actual IDE experience
2\ shows token count AND cost per task in real time
3\ switch between opus, sonnet, haiku mid-task
4\ reads your whole repo, greps, globs, edits files directly
5\ built-in agents tab for parallel work
146K stars. 766 releases. 11,579 commits. this isn't a toy.

KARPATHY BUILT AI AGENTS THAT RUN ML RESEARCH BY THEMSELVES AND IT HAS 74K STARS
no human in the loop. the agents design experiments, train models, analyze results, and iterate.
83 experiments ran automatically on a single GPU. 15 improvements kept:
1\ agents propose hypothesis → design experiment → train model
2\ evaluate results → decide what to try next
3\ single GPU nanochat training — no cluster needed
4\ tracks every experiment with full reproducibility
5\ already beating manual research baselines
karpathy didn't just build an AI researcher. he proved the loop works.

Just tried booking a flight with Claude. It found me a $50 cheaper ticket than Expedia by staying an extra night at a hotel nearby. Gotta say, feeling a bit envious of my AI travel agent.
