The Tech News Roundup

Jeff goes to school. Learning cycles, ingesting 40k+ docs and images and it just flippin’ works. Insane. This isn't OpenClaw. It isn't a MemPalace. It isn't another vector database with a trench coat on. This is the result of months of research. Ingestion cycle after ingestion cycle. Pouring over summaries, articles and synthesised learnings to make sure everything in his head is actually accurate. Because a brain full of half-truths is worse than no brain at all. Over the next few posts I'll take you inside exactly how it works. The ingestion pipeline. The promotion from raw notes to wiki. The git-backed memory that follows him from my laptop to my tower and back. The super lightweight harness I now use instead of Claude Code. How our business uses @beingjefftheai everyday via @SlackHQ Thanks to @obsdmd for the visuals ❤️ Thanks to @karpathy for inspiring me to make it better. 🔥

There’s no real way to store & version AI Agent skills so we created Agentver - the open-source GitHub for AI Agents. Manage, version, & share agent skills across 43+ agents. Import, keep in sync, & collaborate with your team. Terminal, desktop, browser. agentver.com

We built Erys because people need somewhere for their agents to live. OpenClaw proved something important: people want persistent AI agents that live in their messaging apps and actually do things. 🧵

You can now build complete automation workflows in 30 seconds. This is going to revolutionize how businesses operate! Before, you had to pay developers to automate anything. Today, you can use simple prompts to build AI workflows and agents without writing code. "Vibe-automation" is now a thing. Check out Lleverage (lleverage.ai). It's a simple application, but the idea is very powerful. They are collaborating with me on this post. Just type out what you want to automate, and Lleverage will build a complete, functional automation for you. Here is an example: • Ask a user to upload a document (invoice, order, etc.) • Use the "AI Converter" component to extract text from the document • Pull historical data from Google Drive • Analyze risks and opportunities using Claude • Draft a custom response using OpenAI • Post an update in Slack • Send an email via Gmail • Update CRM in HubSpot After the workflow is ready, you can use it in two different ways: • As an API endpoint • As a native app, form, or chatbot This will open the doors for *anyone* at a company to work themselves out a job: The two things you need are an idea and the time to iterate with the platform. Their free plan is great: 250 monthly workflow runs and free everything else. Check this quick video:
