  16. by thedotmack

    Persistent cross-session memory for coding agents: hooks capture each session, a local SQLite + vector store compresses it, and a mem-search skill reads it back.

    Also in Development

  17. by Inngest

    Build crash-safe AI agents on AgentKit and step.ai — durable tool calls, human-in-the-loop approval, realtime progress, and when not to reach for an agent loop at all.
