I animate how new AI agents & dev tools actually work. Made the e2e explainer (29K views). Developer. New breakdowns every week ↓

Introducing e2e

The agentic testing framework for any app

~/ npx e2e init

→ Fully Open Source
→ Mix deterministic and agentic APIs
→ Supports web, mobile, and more
→ Bring your own agent and infrastructure
→ Run locally or in CI

@mattpocockuk's skills repo has more stars than React, and the most installed skill is one line long.

I animated how his whole workflow works, from /grill-me to /retro

Matt Pocock's skills repo has more stars than React, and the most installed skill is one line long.

It makes your agent stop guessing and ask you first. I animated @mattpocockuk's /grill-me

What's the last thing your agent guessed wrong?

[The Hype Kevin @thehypekevin]

the bit that stuck with me: the agent that writes the code never sees the coding standards. review happens at a different desk

[Matt Pocock @mattpocockuk]

"Models are getting better, we don't need skills!"

What if I told you that models are also getting better at using skills?

Good skills tell the model what you care about, then stay out of its way.

@EK0975661966865 cancellation rules are a good add. an agent can book in 2 seconds and no-show just as fast

[The Hype Kevin @thehypekevin]

Your next customer might not be a person.

This week OpenAI launched always-on agents that connect to 4,000+ apps, Meta plugged Muse into Shopify and Stripe, and Cloudflare let agents pay per call.

Google and Apple are next. How to get picked and paid: https://t.co/ed0gSiSCq6

@dhh codex and claude splitting starts like a goalie tandem

[The Hype Kevin @thehypekevin]

@raunofreiberg if it works on iteration #5 i assume i'm editing the wrong file

[The Hype Kevin @thehypekevin]

@code my entire agentic workflow is 14 terminal tabs and hope

@kentcdodds @deno_land @Cloudflare @KentonVarda @rough__sea the node guy and the durable objects guy at one company is a crossover episode

[The Hype Kevin @thehypekevin]

@rough__sea what does an agent give up going from a vm to a DO, mostly the shell?

[The Hype Kevin @thehypekevin]

@firecrawl @ericciarla launch post from @ericciarla if you want the details: https://t.co/hb4lVtndti

[Eric Ciarla (hiring) @ericciarla]

Scrape all of the web, PDFs, images, and hundreds of data providers, all with one API!

The team absolutely cooked here!!

[The Hype Kevin @thehypekevin]

Your agent needs a scraper, a PDF parser, a people API and a transcript tool. Or one Firecrawl call.

I animated how @firecrawl Universal Scrape routes each link to the right source. @ericciarla's team cooked

[The Hype Kevin @thehypekevin]

Meta, Sierra, Shopify, Stripe and Walmart writing one standard for how agents find your business is a big deal for anyone with a booking page.

Animated what's in it so far

[Jeff Weinstein @jeff_weinstein]

Introducing: Personal Agent Protocol (PAP)—an open standard for how personal agents interact with businesses.

@stripe is joining Meta, Sierra, Genesys, Instinct, Rocket, Shopify, and Walmart as founding members to design how the many agentic parties will play nicely together.

[The Hype Kevin @thehypekevin]

@claudeai oh cool my entire job is in beta now

[The Hype Kevin @thehypekevin]

If you're still writing scrapers for your agents, watch this first.

@ericciarla's team turned one scrape call into PDFs, LinkedIn profiles and podcast transcripts. They cooked

[The Hype Kevin @thehypekevin]

the sandbox remembers what your agent touched. it reads customer data, it loses internet. grounded like a teenager

[AWS Open Source @AWSOpen]

Strands Box: an open source sandbox for AI agents. OS-level isolation plus Dogwood policies that can depend on what the agent has already done, e.g. "no outbound HTTP after reading customer data." Credentials stay out of the agent. macOS, developer preview.
