AISummary of 1 article

Harsh Patel says he built and released Bits, an open-source personal agent that runs on the user's own machine and keeps working when the app is closed.

Patel describes it as about 14,000 lines of TypeScript with 25 built-in tools and 41 tests. Each step is saved to SQLite, so after a crash the agent resumes where it stopped. Memory is stored as readable Markdown files. A reviewer checks risky actions before they run through a component called Sentinel. The source is a post on X; no independent testing is reported.
