In partnership with
hermes-agent hit trending today with 240,743 stars and a pitch that actually matters: an agent that keeps state across sessions instead of waking up blank every time you open it. Most of what ships under "memory" is a vector store bolted onto a stateless loop. This one's architecture claims something closer to continuity, and the star velocity says a lot of builders are checking that claim themselves right now. Pair that with GPT-6 Astra landing this week, with OpenAI calling it the start of the AGI era, and you've got the same question asked twice: does the system remember what it did yesterday, or does it just sound confident today. Today's Drops answer that question with code, not marketing copy.

The Drops
Repohermes-agent
240,743 stars · NousResearch/hermes-agent
An agent runtime built to accumulate state across sessions instead of resetting on every new conversation.
Here is the real problem it solves. Most "agent memory" is a RAG lookup pretending to be continuity. This one treats memory as a first-class part of the agent loop, so context you built last week is still there today, not re-derived from a database query.
Quick start: clone it, point it at your existing model API key, run the included session persistence layer before you touch anything else.
Catch: a new architecture at this star velocity means the docs are ahead of the edge cases. Test it on a throwaway project first.
AffiliateBrowse AI
Cloning a site's structure only gets you halfway if you still have to hand-copy its data every time it changes. Browse AI, a no-code scraper that turns any website into structured data or an API by pointing and clicking. Train a robot once, schedule it to watch for changes, and feed live web data into your agents without writing or maintaining scraper code.
Use it for: watching a site for changes and feeding live web data to your agents.

Repoai-website-cloner-template
33,757 stars · JCodesMore/ai-website-cloner-template
Clones any live website into an editable codebase using a single AI coding agent command.
Use it for: rebuilding a competitor's landing page structure as a starting point instead of staring at a blank editor.
Catch: it clones structure and markup, not licensed content. Swap the copy and assets before you ship anything.
Repoopen-seo
16,623 stars · every-app/open-seo
An open-source alternative to Semrush and Ahrefs for keyword research and site audits.
Use it for: running keyword and backlink audits without a monthly SaaS bill, especially useful once you've cloned a site and need to know what it's actually ranking for.
Catch: the data refresh cadence won't match a paid crawler's index size yet. Fine for solo audits, thin for agency-scale reporting.
Skillprompt-master
12,294 stars · nidhinjs/prompt-master
A Claude skill that rewrites your rough instructions into precise prompts for whatever tool you're targeting.
Use it for: the moment you're three tools deep in a pipeline and each one wants prompts phrased differently, this handles the translation.
Catch: it's a skill, not magic. Garbage instructions in still produce a well-formatted garbage prompt out.

Real-World Ads, Simple to Run
With AdQuick, executing Out Of Home campaigns is as easy as running digital ads. Plan, deploy, and measure your real-world advertising effortlessly — so your team can scale campaigns and maximize impact without the headaches.
Start Here
Voice mode is not a gimmick, it is the fastest way to think out loud.
You've probably typed at ChatGPT or Claude and felt like you were writing a memo instead of having a conversation. Voice mode fixes that, and most people never turn it on.
1. Open the app version of whatever assistant you already use (not the browser tab, the actual app) and find the microphone or headphone icon.
2. Tap it and just start talking like you're explaining a problem to a coworker, half-formed thoughts included.
3. Let it respond out loud and talk back, don't wait to "get the wording right" first.
4. Ask it to summarize what you just said into three bullet points once you're done rambling.
5. Copy that summary into whatever document or task list you actually needed it for.
TRY THIS: open your assistant's app right now and talk through one problem you're stuck on for two straight minutes, no typing, no editing your sentences before you say them.

Frontier Signals
OpenAI shipped GPT-6 Astra and is calling it the start of the AGI era. For operators, the real test isn't the label, it's whether computer-use and coding performance actually cuts your review time on agent output this week. (The Verge AI)
Cursor Cloud Agents can now run inside Vercel Sandbox instead of Cursor's own hosted machines. That means you control the execution environment your coding agent runs in, which matters if you've ever needed a specific runtime version an agent couldn't get on a vendor's default box. (Vercel Blog)
AIR Security emerged from stealth with a firewall built specifically to scan AI skills, plugins, and MCP servers for malicious instructions before install. If you've been installing MCP servers off GitHub without reading the source, this is the category built for that exact blind spot. (SecurityWeek)
Capsule Security launched an "AI circuit breaker" trained on NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra to catch rogue agent behavior before it executes. The pitch is catching bad actions pre-execution instead of post-mortem, without the latency hit of a full LLM-based review layer. (SecurityWeek)
