🧵 GitHub webhooks → durable AI tasks, no custom infrastructure. Here's how we wired the Hookdeck Event Gateway + @triggerdotdev + @claudeai into a production-ready GitHub automation pipeline. 👇

Introducing Capy, the world’s first multiplayer cloud coding platform. Capy plans, builds, tests, and reviews your code to ship self-healing PRs fully async. PR view, review agent, computer use, Slack, Linear, ChatGPT sub, all in one tool. Comment to get $100 of free credits.

Switching from Node to @bunjavascript gave us a 5x speed boost (28x better max latency) but there was a gotcha… Pending response promises don't resolve on client disconnect. @nodejs handles this automatically. Fix: resolve disconnects with 499. trigger.dev/blog/firebun

We're launching RunClaw to kill OpenClaw. OpenClaw costs $700 to set up. RunClaw costs $1 no setup. > OpenClaw can’t build you a website > Can’t generate a video > Can’t make a slide deck > Has 9 security CVEs RunClaw does all of it. Better agents. More secure. Always in your DMs. Try it now for $1.

Introducing Capy The agent that plans, builds, tests, and reviews your code - all in the cloud Multiplayer on web, mobile, and Slack

Just launched: our Vercel integration for Trigger. Push code. @vercel deploys your app. @triggerdotdev deploys your tasks. Env vars sync both ways. Your app never goes live with mismatched task versions. ↓

A message for YC W26 founders

Query and Dashboards are now live. You have full SQL-powered observability over your Trigger data. You can ask: "Why did failures spike after my last deploy?" "What's the p95 duration for my chat task?" "What are my most expensive runs?" ↓

Most AI agents are built on infrastructure that wasn't designed for them. Serverless functions have 10-60s timeouts. But complex reasoning chains (Deep Research, Coding Agents) take minutes. Here is the 'Durable Execution' pattern that solves this 🧵

Seeing way more founders applying to YC this batch using @triggerdotdev in their stack. Bullish.

Debugging a 5-minute AI run is hard. Debugging a 4-hour autonomous agent is a nightmare. Console logs disappear. Stack traces get truncated. You have no idea why it looped 50 times and then died. Here is how we solved observability for long-running agents. 🧵

We shipped our Trigger Skills a couple of weeks ago; now we’ve written up why they matter and how to properly use skills in practice. If you’re building agents and care about consistency, correctness, and not re-prompting forever, this one’s for you ↓

We've added support for Vercel AI SDK 6, expanding compatibility across all major versions of the AI SDK. → Run ToolLoopAgent as a durable task; survives failures, retries automatically → Stream agent activity to your frontend in real-time with Realtime Streams → Pause execution mid-task for human approval with waitpoints; zero compute while waiting → Agents decide what to do next; call tools, gather context, or return a final answer

Anthropic identified 5 key patterns for building effective AI agents. But turning those patterns into reliable, long-running systems is the real challenge. Here is how to architect them using Durable Execution 🧵

The biggest UX mistake with AI agents: Making the user stare at a spinner for 60 seconds. Even if the job is running in the background, your UI should feel 'Realtime'. Here is how to stream background updates to the frontend 🧵

I built a @techmeme killer on crack, with ai / @firecrawl / @iframely / @vercel / @supabase / @triggerdotdev. It's wild, messy, and fun. I'm not going to launch it, but if you want to see it and understanding my building process, check it out here: youtube.com/watch?v=QPAy9R…

We've just shipped 5 Trigger Skills. Install them and your AI coding assistant will automatically gain in-depth @triggerdotdev knowledge. ✦ 𝚝𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚐𝚎𝚛-𝚜𝚎𝚝𝚞𝚙 ✦ 𝚝𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚐𝚎𝚛-𝚊𝚐𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚜 ✦ 𝚝𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚐𝚎𝚛-𝚝𝚊𝚜𝚔𝚜 ✦ 𝚝𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚐𝚎𝚛-𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎 ✦ 𝚝𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚐𝚎𝚛-𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚏𝚒𝚐 🧵 But what are skills?

Give your AI agent a "brake pedal". Autonomous agents are cool, but scary in production. You don't want an agent sending emails to 10k customers without a check. Introducing the "Waitpoint" pattern 🧵

In this episode of Founder Firesides, @snowmaker talks to the founders of @artie_labs, @JacquelineSYC19 and Robin Tang, who have just announced their Series A. Artie is a data streaming platform for cutting edge companies, streaming up-to-date and reliable data between systems in real time.
