Knocket launched a website script that shows a chat bubble so visitors can message the maker without creating an account. The service is free and went live today. Messages route to Telegram, email visitors when you’re away, and use an AI agent to answer from the maker’s docs before handing off to the maker when needed.
Kaiku is launching as project management software for teams running work through AI agents, including an AI-focused task tracker and wiki. It includes built-in MCP servers for Claude Code and Cursor. It changes how agent-driven work is managed by letting agents use existing tracker APIs and by recording each agent run’s cost on the issue.
llm released version 0.36 with new OpenAI models and related tooling changes. The update adds two new models, gpt-6-sol and gpt-6-luna. Plugin authors can mark models as not supporting conversations, which makes llm raise llm.ConversationNotSupported and prevents chat sessions when conversation history is provided.
OpenAI’s GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna were released and are now generally available on Amazon Bedrock for production workloads. The launch includes a claim of “approximately half” as many factual mistakes versus GPT-5.6 Sol, alongside lower API pricing than the GPT-5.6 predecessors. This changes deployment by giving teams two GPT-6 options—higher-reasoning for complex tasks and higher-efficiency for high-volume repeatable work—with support features like prompt caching and Bedrock governance.
Anthropic made Claude Opus 5.5 available on Amazon Bedrock and Claude Platform on AWS, its first Claude 5.5 model-family release. The company says Opus 5.5 offers lower per-token prices than Claude Opus 5, with max caching reads that are much cheaper. Teams can now run longer-running agentic coding and knowledge-work tasks with clearer, refused-more-often safety behavior and lower average cost per task through AWS APIs and tooling.
Coverage Cat launched as a licensed insurance brokerage that compares umbrella and home coverage using AI-guided intake alongside a broker, and lets users route the shopping flow through personal AI agents via an Agent API/MCP. The service’s umbrella liability policies typically start at $1 million in additional liability coverage. As a result, insurance shopping shifts toward more automated, side-by-side pricing and carrier comparisons with fewer lead-generation steps and more agent-enabled workflows.
Strands Evals SDK and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Evaluations added skill-focused evaluators to measure whether skill-equipped agents choose the right skill and follow its prescribed steps. The Skill Instruction Following evaluator rates each invoked skill on a five-level scale and uses evidence to detect skipped steps. Teams can use the per-skill results from recorded trajectories or OpenTelemetry traces to diagnose whether failures come from routing (wrong skill) or execution (partial instruction following) and turn those checks into deployment gates for regressions.

llm-typesafe 0.1a0 was released as a plugin for LLM that adds support for TypeSafe’s Jev model. It is installed with the command `llm install llm-typesafe` and then configured by setting a TypeSafe API key with `llm keys set typesafe`. Users can now submit yes/no, choice, and scoring question prompts to the `jev` model and get structured outputs of those types.
Ari Helper 7 launched as a private AI assistant for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch that can chat with local on-device models and connect to providers like OpenAI and Anthropic.
Gortex (a GitHub repo) shipped a local, no-dependency system that parses 257 languages into an in-process provenance graph and exposes it to coding agents via MCP, a CLI, and an HTTP/Web UI. It reports $168.69 in cost avoided (claude-opus-4) across 1,878 calls, saving 11,246,094 tokens against naive file reads. Developers can now use graph-based symbol lookups, call-chain and blast-radius queries, and AI-assisted PR review through the connected agents instead of repeatedly re-reading source files.
The author argues that Jev’s system avoids generating token-by-token confidence text and instead builds a shared transformer state that branches into multiple questions whose probabilities are read out directly as distributions. The key concrete detail is that Jev’s API claims to output probabilities in parallel rather than autoregressively generating by token. As a result, applications can route or decide using trained decision probabilities while shifting JSON formatting and other option handling to application code, with less repeated computation from re-processing the shared state for many questions.
Hemory launches a phone- or Apple Watch-based transcription app that saves every conversation as private, searchable memory with speaker-labeled moments. It launches today and connects to Claude, Codex, Cursor, or other agents over MCP. As a result, those AI tools can access stored conversation context to revisit what was heard and build on it.
