AI Agent of the week

Get in the boat, Noah — the slick launch-announcements flood is about to break the scrollbar.

I’m calling it now: very soon, we’ll be drowning in AI Agent of the Week posts.

Since the rise of modern AI models, I’ve noticed a blessed decline in the old “Web Framework of the Week” announcements that used to litter every corner of the internet. But nature abhors a vacuum—and developers abhor stability in their tools—so it’s only a matter of time before everyone, their uncle, and their neighbor slaps a custom “agent” on top of whatever LLM happens to be trending.

I can already hear the mechanical keyboards screaming as fingers peck-peck-peck across them. And yes—I’m tired. Pre-tired. Exhausted on credit.

Will I still click every link?
Of course. FOMO is undefeated.

Will I roll my eyes the entire time?
Absolutely. I’ve been practicing.

I’ve already chosen my new gods, the same way I once chose Android back in the late aughts: impulsively. OpenAI for personal life (somehow it’s become my new therapist—pray for my mental health), and Claude at work, because the company pays for it. Maybe one day I’ll consolidate. Maybe I won’t.

I have a life to live. Or at least I’m trying.
