What it does
Your AI agent already has a brain. Minnie gives it a body — a floating 3D pet for your Mac that does real work by driving the agent you already use: Claude Code, Gemini, Codex, or any CLI. Before anything risky runs, a cartoon speech cloud shows the exact command — deny or allow, by voice or click. Her 8 moods mirror the agent live. She talks, listens, and remembers. No telemetry, secrets in Keychain, zero extra AI cost.
Minnie is a native macOS desktop pet that runs your AI coding agent — talk to her, she executes real tasks, asks permission out loud, and stays fully local. Zero extra AI cost.
A little desktop creature that runs the coding agent you already pay for. Talk to her, watch her work, and she asks out loud before she touches a single file. No extra AI bill. Nothing leaves your Mac. She sits on top of the coding agent you already pay for and adds the three things it's missing: a body, a voice, and the manners to ask first. Minnie drives your CLI agent: real files, real shell commands, real test runs. A browser chatbot hands you a paragraph. Minnie hands you the patch. Before touching a file or firing a command she says it: “I want to run pytest. Ok?” Answer with your voice — allow, deny, or let her off the leash. On-device Apple speech, your own local agent CLI, zero…from heyminnie.com

Agent-desktop – Native desktop automation CLI for AI agentsMay 2026 · github.com · ▲99I've been building computer-use tools for a while, and I quietly launched this about a month ago (122 Stars on GH). I figured it was worth sharing here. Over the last few months, a lot of computer-use agents have come out: Codex, Claude Code, CUA, and others. Most of them seem to work roughly like this: 1. Take a screenshot 2. Have the model predict pixel coordinates 3. Click x,y 4. Take another screenshot 5. Repeat That works, but it's slow, expensive in tokens, and fragile. If the UI shifts a few pixels, things break. And the model still doesn't know what any element actually is. But the…

I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

OpenSEO▲928Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
