Building Pasture (https://www.usepasture.com)

Pasture takes each signup, enriches it (title, company size, funding, tech stack, and more), and scores it 0-100 against your ICP. Alerts go to Slack with full context. You can also track which channels bring quality vs. junk over time, which has been the most useful part so far.

Working on a web framework that provides some guardrails around what a coding agent can and can’t touch without human approval. Makes it easier to have confidence in 5000 line code changes without having to comb through the code. https://ont-run.com

So the idea is that if I want the agent to add, say, a testimonial, I can write somewhere that "Agents can add testimonials, but not remove them" and I wouldn't need to design the code so that testimonials are a separate file with append only rights given to the Agent User? Allowing me to move forward with a testimonials.html that has all the testimonials hard coded?

Did I get that right?

Looks cool. A missing layer perhaps

I've been working on a low-code CRUD backend for AI agents to use to build software. To significantly reduce the complexity of deployment, access control, maintenance, devops, etc... Reducing the surface area for hallucinations and bugs when building complex apps. https://saasufy.com/

The illustrations stand out, how did you get those?

I've been working on a tool to solve a problem I keep seeing at my day job when handling large-scale deployments and migrations. The “plan” is always scattered across internal docs, spreadsheets, and Slack threads. Coordinating work across multiple teams becomes messy fast

So I'm building Taskplan (https://taskplan.run) - it's like Ansible, but for people. Build a plan, assign tasks to people or teams, and get a real-time dashboard to track progress as the work happens.

I'd love feedback from anyone who deals with the same issues or works on ops-heavy projects.

I’ve been working on a developer-facing sandbox for AI agents that focuses on budgeting and cost control, not payments.

In multi-agent setups, we kept running into issues where agents either hoarded resources or exhausted shared budgets unpredictably. So we built a control layer where agents operate using virtual credits, can temporarily rebalance budgets or split shared API costs, but everything stays under explicit human-defined limits with full audit logs and kill switches.

It’s intentionally not real money and not a financial product — more like infrastructure for coordinating agent spend safely. Mostly exploring how much autonomy you can give agents before cost becomes the real bottleneck.

Trying to wrestle with realizing how much time I've not been spending on my supposedly main project[1] and questioning whether it's really worth doing. > Any new ideas that you're thinking about?

The link to paper documentation seems wrong, it's for some Minecraft server.

Dimensionally accurate AI 3D modelling. My grandpa has a 3D printer but struggles to use any complex tools. So I am working on this chat interface to allow him to do some simple models.

So far he has triggered more than 150 generations. It’s getting better every model cycle and gives me something I enjoy working on.

I'm thinking all the time about what the "best" way of using local AI agents like Claude / Codex / Gemini is. I'm trying to figure out the best UI/UX. There's so so so much that hasn't been explored yet. Mainly I'm working on a task dispatch dashboard called Prompter Hawk that is designed to be the best UI for task management with agents. If you've been trying to parallelize by running multiple claude code terminals…

Interesting, how does the automatic system diagram generation work?

FM day job: Interpretation of SysML activity diagrams as temporal logic for use with state machine specifications. Module system for state machine with scoping, ownership type system and attendant theorems to carry proofs of LTL properties about individual parts forward after composition.

Wait what..? please elaborate or provide any references for further reading!
