    Show HN: big-arrow-on-the-screen lets AI agents draw arrows and text on macOS

    AIbig-arrow-on-the-screen (bigarrow) is a MIT-licensed macOS command-line tool and skill for Claude Code and Codex that draws arrows, boxes and text over any window. Clicks pass through, keyboard focus stays put, and each arrow removes itself after a set duration or when its agent process ends. The tool only points; it never clicks, types or captures the screen, and it requires no macOS permission to draw.

    Jarhead, an open-source voice assistant that operates your Mac for you

    AIKevin Liu releases Jarhead, an open-source voice assistant that uses a Mac the way a person would, opening apps, clicking through Spotify, browsing, typing, running git, and marking up the screen. It runs on GPT-Live-1, which listens and talks at the same time so users can interrupt it mid-task, and its reasoning can use a ChatGPT plan with Codex, Claude Code, or an API key.

    Agentzon launches a shopping site for AI assistants to buy household items

    AIAgentzon launches at agentzon.co as a checkout site for AI assistants, aggregating about 500 household essentials so far. Its founder says most AI assistant checkouts are poor because Amazon blocks assistants from shopping, and users can ask an agent to buy specific brands such as Colgate toothpaste. The site supports browser-use or API checkout, WebMCP, UCP and OpenAPI, and requires no accounts or API keys.

    Pine launches agentic cloud computers with built-in AI agents

    AIPine has released a cloud computer service with a built-in AI agent that applications can control through its SDK. Developers give the agent a plain-English task, and it can use a browser, files, and a shell while the app receives notifications and final outputs. Pine's Stanley Wei says the computer is built for AI rather than humans.

    Curtain launches an MCP server for AI agents to prepare private swaps

    AICurtain has introduced an MCP server that lets AI agents discover supported tokens, get quotes for V2, V3, or Dynamic Privacy routes, and prepare private swap transactions. The server can also track intent status and find permissionless keeper settlement opportunities. It never receives private keys or broadcasts deposits, as the user's wallet reviews and signs each prepared transaction.

    Teamily AI lets solo founder's agents research, write, build, and review a site

    AIA solo founder used Teamily AI, a platform where humans and AI agents share one group chat, to automate a multi-step project. A research agent analyzed the author's 20 most-saved posts, a writer agent drafted content, a web agent built a live website in Website Builder, and a custom Verification Editor agent blocked the launch twice over a misquoted Anthropic doc. The team can be saved as a Loop that reruns weekly and waits for human approval before publishing.

    Stacklok's Mecatl harness moves coding agents from desktops to the cloud

    AIStacklok, founded by Kubernetes creators Craig McLuckie and Joe Beda, has released Mecatl, an open source cloud-native harness for coding agents on GitHub. Mecatl keeps the agent loop separate from the client, model provider, state store, and execution environment, and moves tool calling, session management, and memory into manageable systems. The article also covers ToolHive, an MCP platform, and an AI Gateway that is not yet open sourced, with a commercial enterprise control plane tying the pieces together.

    Mastra Connect adds ready-made tools for services like Linear and Notion

    AIMastra Connect is a public beta that lets Mastra projects connect providers such as Linear, Notion, and Slack, giving agents and workflows ready-made tools. Connect launches with 23 providers, almost 900 tools, and 7 hosted MCP providers, and it is free to use on Mastra platform during beta. Developers can add connections via the CLI or dashboard, limit tools with glob filters, and call a provider's SDK directly with credential() when a tool is missing.

    Why it matters: The post shows how connected services become agent tools, and how credentials and access limits are managed, which is useful for building agent workflows.

    Comfy Router launches one API for frontier image, video, 3D, and audio models

    AIComfy Router is now live on the Comfy Developer Platform, giving developers one API to call frontier image, video, 3D, and audio models. Day one models include Seedance 2.5, MiniMax H3, Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image 2, Kling, and Black Forest Labs, and the provider for each job is selectable. Requests fail rather than silently switching providers, and inputs and outputs are deleted after 24 hours.

    Why it matters: The post shows how one API key and a provider parameter let developers swap routes for media models without rewriting calls, with failed requests reporting the provider.
