In plain words

MailPilot is a local terminal interface that wraps AI agents and communicates with them via email. Users can send tasks to their agents and receive updates via email, allowing them to work asynchronously without staying at their desk. The tool works with Claude, Codex, Gemini, Copilot, and OpenCode. It supports team collaboration by allowing users to CC colleagues, whose replies feed directly into the agent's context, turning individual sessions into multiplayer async conversations.

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
