The gatekeeping on model choice just quietly ended. For a year, picking Claude or GPT or a local model meant picking a whole workflow, rebuilding prompts, swapping SDKs, hoping nothing broke. Today's hero Drop treats that as a solved problem: one local layer sits in front of every model you run and lets you route requests wherever they perform best, without touching the agent code above it. That's the kind of infrastructure that doesn't make headlines but changes what a solo operator can promise a client by Friday.

How Jennifer Aniston’s LolaVie brand grew sales 40% with CTV ads
For its first CTV campaign, Jennifer Aniston’s DTC haircare brand LolaVie had a few non-negotiables. The campaign had to be simple. It had to demonstrate measurable impact. And it had to be full-funnel.
LolaVie used Roku Ads Manager to test and optimize creatives — reaching millions of potential customers at all stages of their purchase journeys. Roku Ads Manager helped the brand convey LolaVie’s playful voice while helping drive omnichannel sales across both ecommerce and retail touchpoints.
The campaign included an Action Ad overlay that let viewers shop directly from their TVs by clicking OK on their Roku remote. This guided them to the website to buy LolaVie products.

The Drops
Repoclaude-code-router
37,135 stars · musistudio/claude-code-router
A local control plane that sits between your agent and whatever model actually runs the request.
Here is the real problem it solves. You build once against Claude Code, then a cheaper or faster model beats it on a specific task, and rewriting your agent to swap providers eats an afternoon you don't have.
Quick start: point your existing Claude Code config at the router and add a second model as a fallback route.
Catch: you're now debugging a routing layer on top of your agent, not just the agent.
AffiliateCometChat
If today's theme is routing the right capability to the right place in your stack, the same logic applies the moment your product needs to talk back to users in real time. CometChat, a drop-in chat, voice, and video SDK for your app. UI Kits and APIs for React, iOS, Android, and Flutter, plus AI moderation. Ship in-app messaging without building real-time infrastructure from scratch.
Use it for: adding moderated in-app messaging with prebuilt UI kits on every major platform.

Skillopenai/skills
26,443 stars · openai/skills
A skills catalog built for Codex, packaged the same way Anthropic packaged skills for Claude.
Use it for: porting a skill you already like in Claude Code over to a Codex-based agent without rewriting it from scratch.
Catch: it's a catalog, not a runtime. You still need Codex wired up to use any of it.
Repodesign-extract
4,060 stars · Manavarya09/design-extract
Pulls a website's complete design system out with one command and hands it back as tokens.
Use it for: cloning a competitor's design language into your own build instead of eyeballing colors from a screenshot.
Catch: it reads what's rendered, not what's intentional. You still have to decide what's worth keeping.
MCPokf-agent-memory
489 stars · okf-memory/okf-agent-memory
Git-native persistent memory for coding agents, with a local search index instead of a hosted database.
Use it for: giving a coding agent memory that lives in your repo's git history, not a vendor's server.
Catch: 489 stars means early. Test it on a side project before you trust it with anything that matters.

What "memory" actually remembers, and how to check it.
If you've ever asked an AI chatbot something and it acted like your last conversation never happened, that's not a bug, that's the default. "Memory" isn't the AI thinking about you between chats. It's a saved list of facts it decided to keep, and you can go look at that list right now.
1. Open the AI tool you use most (ChatGPT, Claude, or similar) and find its settings menu, usually a gear icon or your profile picture.
2. Look for a section called "Memory," "Personalization," or "Saved Info."
3. Open it. You'll see a plain-language list of things it remembers about you, your job, your preferences, things you've told it before.
4. Read the list like you're reading someone else's notes about you. Delete anything wrong or outdated.
5. Add one fact yourself, something like "I run a small business" or "keep answers short," and start a new chat to see if it actually uses it.
TRY THIS: Open your AI tool's memory settings right now and delete one thing that's wrong or out of date.
