Controller AI

Product Hunt 2 months ago 18 ● 2 sources

A new tool enables building deterministic AI agents that reliably follow predefined processes and workflows. The system uses constraint-based execution to ensure agents respect specific procedural rules rather than operating with open-ended autonomy. This allows developers to deploy AI agents in regulated or process-critical environments where predictability is required.

Anthropic defined the standards inside Agent Plugins. So why isn’t it helping govern the format?

The New Stack 2 months ago 17

Agent Plugins 1.0.0 standardized only the package-level discovery locations for skills and MCP servers, while Anthropic’s separately published Agent Skills and MCP standards are governed by different stewards. The article points to a 9 December 2025 release of MCP donation followed by Agent Skills nine days later, leaving Anthropic out of the plugin governance structure and resulting in limited interoperability guarantees. As a result, clients can claim “conformance” while supporting different component types and transports, and developers still face gaps like unclear schema tooling and client-specific behavior for loading, credentials, and environment resolution.

Build OpenClaw agents that transact with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore payments

Amazon Web Services 2 months ago 30 ● 2 sources

AWS and the OpenClaw Foundation released an OpenClaw integration that lets autonomous agents handle HTTP 402 paywalls via Amazon Bedrock AgentCore payments using x402 v2. The walkthrough test sends a payment of 0.001 USDC on Base Sepolia for a paid weather API. Agents can now pay for approved paywalled content without pausing for human approval each time, because humans provision bounded payment sessions outside the model runtime.

Interactive Sessions

Product Hunt 2 months ago 1

Revolte launched Interactive Sessions that let engineering teams run AI agents step by step through architecture, code, tests, staging, and deploy while engineers approve each step. The release is Revolte’s 2nd launch. Autopilot mode can take a Jira ticket end to end, with PR creation and deployment automated under the same cost caps and audit trails.

Gauge

Product Hunt 2 months ago 53

Gauge announced a platform that enables AI agents to be embedded directly into customer codebases for development tasks. The company targets integration into engineering workflows as a core distribution strategy. This shifts how AI coding tools reach users from standalone access to built-in collaboration within existing development environments.

The Keyboard Is Dying on Schedule. The Text Box Is Next.

Menlo Ventures 2 months ago 22 ● 4 sources

Menlo Ventures is leading Wispr’s $280 million Series B to build voice-first interfaces after Wispr’s earlier bet that voice dictation could replace the keyboard proved successful. The round values Wispr at $2 billion and includes Menlo Ventures doubling down on the thesis that the text box will be the next interface to disappear. Wispr will use the funding to expand Flow’s enterprise and country/language rollout and to advance its Advanced Interfaces Lab toward voice-to-outcome systems.

DeepSeek AI Releases DeepSeek Harness in Developer Preview: An MIT-Licensed Agent Harness Where Everything is a Plugin

MarkTechPost 2 months ago 20

DeepSeek released DeepSeek Harness v0.1 as a developer preview and published its full source code under the MIT license.

The harness becomes deployable mainly as developer infrastructure, letting teams swap models, tools, sessions, sandboxes, and other agent components as configurable plugins without changing Harness source code.

Video Agent by Fotor

Product Hunt 2 months ago 16

Fotor launched its Video Agent to help users create and edit motion graphics and videos from ideas, scripts, or assets using chat-driven automation. The release is Fotor’s 10th launch, and it positions the product as producing outputs that remain editable on a multi-track timeline. As a result, creators can adjust text, numbers, logos, charts, timing, and stats late in the process without re-rendering the entire video.

Hosted Agents in Cluing

Product Hunt 2 months ago 58

Anthropic announced Hosted Agents, a platform where AI agents can autonomously build software, learn from interactions, and publish outputs in a single environment. The service is available now through Anthropic's console with support for Claude models. This enables developers to deploy agents that work continuously without managing separate infrastructure components.
