Odysseus (AI)

Odysseus is a self-hosted AI workspace that puts chat, autonomous agents, research, documents, email, notes, calendar, and local model serving behind one local-first interface, with no telemetry. Python + JavaScript, AGPL-3.0-or-later.

Vercel Open Agents

Vercel Open Agents is an open-source, fork-able reference app for running coding agents that live in the cloud and keep working after you close the tab. Built on Vercel's own stack. MIT.

Ponytail (AI)

Ponytail is an open-source (MIT License) AI-agent plugin/skill that enforces minimalist code generation, "He says nothing. He writes one line. It works." It counters the tendency of coding agents to over-engineer (extra dependencies, boilerplate, building when something already exists) by injecting

Agentic Resource Discovery Specification (ARD)

Agentic Resource Discovery (ARD) is an open, draft specification (Apache 2.0 License) for publishing, discovering, and verifying AI capabilities across the web. It's a collaborative effort, not one vendor's project: contributors come from Google, Microsoft, Hugging Face, GoDaddy and others. It answe

Code Mode MCP Pattern

Code Mode is a pattern for using MCP) tools where, instead of exposing each tool directly to the model as a callable function, you give the model a typed API (TypeScript or Python) and ask it to write code that calls those tools. The code runs in a sandbox, and only the final result comes back to th

TypedMark

TypedMark is an open specification for typed Markdown note systems. It adds explicit structure (schemas, field definitions, property sets, note-type inheritance, and validation) while keeping notes as plain Markdown files with YAML frontmatter. Authored by Sébastien Dubois under the MIT license (202

Agent2Agent Protocol (A2A)

Agent2Agent (A2A) is an open protocol for agent-to-agent interoperability, introduced by Google in 2025 and later donated to the Linux Foundation. It lets independent AI Agents, built by different teams on different frameworks, discover each other, exchange messages, and delegate tasks over a standa

Mellum2

Mellum2 is JetBrains' open-weight LLM) for AI workflows, released open source under Apache 2.0 in June 2026. It is the successor to Mellum: where the original focused on code completion, Mellum2 handles both natural language and code. JetBrains positions it as engineered for the hard parts of produc

OpenSRE

OpenSRE is an open-source (Apache 2.0 License) framework from Tracer Cloud for building AI agents that investigate and respond to production incidents. The problem it tackles: when something breaks in production, the evidence is scattered across logs, metrics, traces, runbooks, and Slack threads. Op

microVM

A microVM is a lightweight virtual machine with a minimal device model and a stripped-down virtual machine monitor (VMM), built to boot in milliseconds and run with very little memory overhead. It gives you the hardware-level isolation of a full VM (its own kernel, enforced by the CPU's virtualizati

CocoIndex

CocoIndex is an incremental data framework that keeps the context behind AI agents continuously fresh by reprocessing only what changed. Open source, Rust core, Python on top. Apache 2.0.

Docker Sandboxes

Docker Sandboxes runs each AI agent session inside a dedicated microVM with its own private Docker daemon, isolated by the VM boundary, with no path back to the host. It exists to solve one problem: running autonomous coding agents safely. As Docker puts it, an LLM deciding its own security boundari
