A platform for hiring and monitoring AI agent interns

https://gadabout.ai

This was an evening's experiment turned pilot that's now speeding forward with a strategic partnership with a revenue operations company.

I was originally trying to solve user experience testing of my own projects with multimodal LLMs. The intuitiveness of these models given a browser opened my eyes to the possibilities with tooling (what we now call agents), then expanded into long-term memory and personification.

Landing page coming soon™ - feel free to reach me at yann@gadabout.ai if you're experimenting in this field too.

- A minimal Astro-like MPA web framework for handcrafted websites providing you the essential abstractions to simply write HTML, CSS and JS – without any complex tools messing with your code before it reaches the browser.

- Reactive Mastro – a tiny client-side reactive GUI library for your Mastro project, or for your existing MPA.

Working on Cursor for Excel: https://www.tryalphaexcel.com/ As there is no open source version of Excel except Libreoffice, working to build the core Excel functionality with other open source packages. Then bringing in agentic editing functionality for real world data. What is also has been interesting is to introduce banker/consultant formatting guidelines to the agent and making it beautify its work whether in tab…

Cant it be a VBA script interfaced to an external app? This way you could use standard Excel, no?
