Latest update (11-10 13:31): Teen developer Stanislaus Hees releases Autark, an open-source tool for AI agent teams

Overview: Stanislaus Hees, a 14-year-old Austrian developer, releases Autark, an open-source tool that lets AI agents work as a team. Users place tasks in an inbox, a manager agent delegates them, and agents run on schedules or events without constant prompting. Autark lists support for Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, Kimi Code, and local models. The project's website says support for models other than Codex and Claude Code has not been tested in a live run, and Autark is still under active development. The code is available under an Apache license for self-hosting and modification.

The Register reports that Autark has no sandboxing or permission gates, and that test agents reached sensitive files within minutes.
