No changes. Same list as last week.
- 01

“Source is public: you can read it before you run it.”
An open-source Python agent runtime, installed with one pip command, with a local cache that skips repeat LLM calls — pitched as a lighter alternative to LangGraph for developers.
- 02

“Open source, stated by the project itself.”
An open-source workspace for building and connecting AI agent workflows to 1,000+ integrations and LLMs; a developer/maker tool rather than a no-code product.
- 03

“You can see how it works, not just what it promises.”
The Control Plane and Network Layer For AI Agents
- 04

“Source is public: you can read it before you run it.”
An open-source agent platform where a lead AI agent takes tasks from WhatsApp, Slack, GitHub, MCP and more, then delegates to worker agents - built for technical teams running agents across their stack.
- 05

“Open source, stated by the project itself.”
A local control layer that lets you set permissions and approve or audit the actions of AI agents across connected apps, aimed at developers running autonomous agents.
- 06

“You can see how it works, not just what it promises.”
An open-source Chrome extension that lets an AI agent read and act on the page you're viewing, using whatever model you plug in, with API keys kept local and no telemetry.
- 07

“Source is public: you can read it before you run it.”
An open-source, local-first memory and task layer for AI coding agents, built around MCP. Developer infrastructure, not a consumer product.
- 08

“Open source, stated by the project itself.”
An open-source platform for running full teams of autonomous AI agents, each with its own context, tools, memory and role, rather than a single copilot — aimed at developers building multi-agent systems.
- 09
“You can see how it works, not just what it promises.”
An open-source Android AI agent that runs entirely on-device with MCP support and persistent memory. A technical, open-source project more than a polished consumer assistant app.
