Starting a new project today, and my absolute favorite thing is @capydotai with @AsideAI means my agents can both code the first version and help me get all the DevOps set up in one fell swoop

Connie Chan wants China to win the AI race She also has done so much to make San Francisco unsafe for everyone I asked her to resign earlier this year. Instead the legacy Dem machine thinks she is the best choice 🤮

Giving your harnesses access to a real browser with your real credentials is a real unlock - highly recommend @AsideAI

You guys are trying hard to push this but how about covering Gary McCoy’s insane missteps instead This is a 10:1 thing volume game and you are really avoiding the real story

I'm amazed how simple it is to be driving new features and loops on latency/retrieval eval auto-improvement using @capydotai for GBrain AI agent retrieval metrics In the last 16 hours my agents were busy, with zero input from me.

ok but what about transpiling 32k lines of c++ code into pg's bel lisp so that you can run doom at 35fps on 8 cores in chromium?

Maybe 3 more prompts got it to 35fps on 640x480 pulling from 8 CPU cores per frame

I admit my setup for working on gbrain is a bit chaotic. As bugs or issues come in, I spin up a new thread to address it. But Capy's cross-thread coordination and 'virtual standup' conflict avoidance on parallel threads is SOTA GStack autoplan and eli5 really let me fly

Over dinner last night with Tom Brown, Tom Blomfield and PG, I used Opus 5.5 in fast mode to implement Doom in @paulg's Bel LISP variant in about 20 minutes 32k C++ transpiled to under 2k LOC of Bel, along with a full Bel interpreter written in JS PG, it's time to vibe code!

Just deleted about a thousand lines of markdown from gstack because frontier models are good now and the old tricks generally you don’t need anymore

Surprising cool @capydotai cross-session coordination I wasn't expecting: My GBrain collaborator Sina started a fix wave that is even steering around all of the things I'm already working on across multiple Capy threads. All model agnostic.

It’s amazing you can just tell Capy coding agents to coordinate and reduce stomping on the same code paths and it just automatically injects agent to agent convos and it works without further orchestration

Just merged a version of OpenClaw’s test-audit skill into GStack. Test bloat is a real problem. Luckily intelligence is on tap these days!

One of the coolest things @capydotai does is coordination across multiple PRs and threads by default. You can land features and fixes that are adjacent and have each agent be aware and coordinate cross-process And you can see the agents speak across threads at your direction

The SF Chronicle agrees with me: Connie Chan is an awful candidate to represent San Francisco and her track record on helping the people SF on housing, public safety and any kind of accountability is a disgrace and abysmal

I can legit say Capy out of box does far far better parallelization, workflow, and automatic coordination than almost anything I've seen so far

I've been using @capydotai daily on all my GStack/GBrain PRs and I'm going at least 4x faster than I was when just using raw Codex/Claude Code via Conductor. On a recent PR, this is what it did that out of box Codex wouldn't have done:

Example PR - here is Capy.ai executing against a very ambitious bug fix wave on GBrain with very clear task delineation, automatic parallelization, and very clean Github PR and CI workflow.

I think @AsideAI AI browser/harness is one of the most powerful consumer AI tools you could possibly use with your agents, wherever they are Aside MCP exposes deep browser use tools with credentials that make any agent much more powerful

It's free to try and works with your existing Claude Code or Codex subscription right now. Just make a new directory and start Codex or CC (on command line OR on Desktop, slightly better on Desktop) Just paste this image into your CC/Codex and it'll set up your agent repo asap
