GPT-5.5
AI AgentsOpenAI's fully retrained agentic model that autonomously handles complex computer tasks.
This isn't just another model bump. GPT-5.5 represents a fundamental shift toward autonomous agents that can actually complete multi-step work without constant hand-holding. The 82.7% Terminal-Bench score suggests we're finally getting agents that can operate computers like humans do.
Noscroll
AI AgentsAI bot that does your doomscrolling for you.
Peak absurdity or genius automation? Having an AI consume the endless scroll of social feeds while you stay focused is either the perfect productivity hack or a sign we've completely lost the plot. Either way, it's fascinating.

ReasoningBank
AI ResearchFinally, agents that learn from their mistakes rather than forgetting everything between sessions. Google's approach to building persistent reasoning capabilities could be the breakthrough that makes agents genuinely useful rather than just impressive demos.
DESIGN.md
Design ToolsGoogle open-sourcing the prompt architecture behind Stitch is smart positioning. Standardising how we teach agents about design systems could accelerate adoption across the industry.
DecisionBox
Data ToolsData discovery is one of those tedious tasks that's perfect for agent automation. If DecisionBox can reliably map out data warehouse schemas and relationships, it'll save analysts weeks of manual exploration.
AgentBox
Developer ToolsSandboxing AI code execution is becoming critical infrastructure. AgentBox's multi-provider approach means developers aren't locked into one model's execution environment.
