You can now provision and manage AgentMail directly from the Vercel Marketplace. Your AI agents can send, receive, and respond to email from a real inbox. AgentMail handles the mail servers and deliverability. Key capabilities: Provision inboxes and custom domains through the API Handle threads, attachments, and deliverability out of the box Trigger agentic workflows using webhooks and WebSockets Install AgentMail on the Vercel Marketplace or with the Vercel CLI: Read more

Proactive agents that anticipate user needs and autonomously execute tasks hold great promise as digital assistants, yet the lack of realistic user simulation frameworks hinders their development. Existing approaches model apps as flat tool-calling APIs, failing to capture the stateful and sequential nature of user interaction in digital environments and making realistic user simulation infeasible. We introduce Proactive Agent Research Environment (Pare), a framework for building and evaluating

You can now export AI Gateway leaderboard charts as images and download or query the data behind every ranking. The AI Gateway leaderboards show how AI is used in production, ranking models, labs, apps, and providers running on AI Gateway by production traffic, aggregated daily across trillions of tokens, so you can see what gets adopted and how that changes over time. For deeper analysis, see the July AI Production Index . What's ranked There are four leaderboards, each with its own metrics: Le

Apple Music serves listeners across 150+ storefronts in dozens of languages, with a catalog that grows by hundreds of thousands of new tracks daily. At this scale, search recall on misspelled, transliterated, and cross-lingual queries becomes a dominant driver of session quality, particularly for tail queries that account for the majority of unique queries. We present a multilingual semantic retrieval system built on a 305M-parameter Siamese bi-encoder fine-tuned from GTE-multilingual-base with

Vercel Blob now supports consistent reads on private storage. Pass useCache: false to get() or presignUrl() for a read that reflects the latest write. A blob written to a fresh pathname has no existing cached entry, so reads reflect the latest write immediately. When you overwrite a blob at an existing pathname, readers might see the cached version for up to 60 seconds. When a read must reflect the latest write, like an agent's memory file, a session transcript, or a scheduled JSON report, pass

The Vercel Plugin is now available in VS Code and the GitHub Copilot CLI. GitHub Copilot now has Vercel platform knowledge on demand, with skills for Next.js, AI SDK, Vercel Functions, and more. The Vercel plugin also helps Copilot stay up to date with the latest Vercel APIs and recommended patterns. To install it for Copilot Chat, search for @agentPlugins vercel in the Extensions panel in VS Code. To install it for the GitHub Copilot CLI, run npx plugins add vercel/vercel-plugin . Learn more in

I built FixBugs, an agent that ingests the rich context surrounding production bugs to reproduce them in a sandbox and generate verified fixes. It's available in the form of a self-hosted VSCode extension and as a Github app: VSCode Extension: https://fixbugs.ai/go/vscode-extension - full code and data privacy. - zero data retention models opted out of training. GitHub App: https://fixbugs.ai/go/github-app - we do access your code temporarily. - pick a repo to install FixBugs on. What motivated

<h1> Building a production AI agent in TypeScript with Mastra: a 2026 step-by-step. </h1> <p>I spent an afternoon last month wiring up an AI agent in raw TypeScript using the Anthropic SDK directly. The code worked, but I owned every piece of it: the tool dispatch loop, the conversation history array, the retry logic. Around 400 lines before the agent did anything interesting.</p> <p>Mastra cuts that to about 60. A TypeScript-first agent framework with 24k+ GitHub stars, an active release cadenc

Hi all, author here. SX started as a CLI to let developers share skills across AI clients without having to rely on git for storage. This allowed sharing at the Repo/Team/Org and Personal level. However, the more we spoke to users the more we realized that non-technical users were actually using skills more and more but they had no way to share. And there was no way you were going to get your legal team to install and learn git. SX 2.0 is targeting non-technical teams by adding a native Mac, Win

<pre style='white-space:pre-wrap;width:81ex'>feat(reef): headless openclaw reef CLI for agent-driven registration and pairing Adds a non-interactive command surface (openclaw reef register|status|friend code|request|list|remove) so an agent can claim a handle and manage guarded friendships when its owner asks, without the interactive wizard. --json emits machine-readable output for automation. Registration is crash-safe and idempotent: guard defaults are provider-coupled, the full config is vali

Hi HN, I'm Kevin. I built ContextVault because I kept running into the same problem with AI tools. Every project accumulated prompts, coding conventions, architectural decisions, examples, and other pieces of context that made the models significantly more useful. The problem was that this information quickly became fragmented. Some lived in ChatGPT Projects, some in Claude, some in Markdown files, some in internal documentation, and some only existed in previous conversations. Late last year, I

Hello HN crew - I am seeing the tendency for people to allow AI agents to access local project & user folders, and beyond (operating system files). I thought to ask the question: How can we best use AI tools safely - where the workflow often runs local system commands and network commands - to protect the integrity of our systems & data AND be easy enough to use productively? Comment structure idea: Operating system / Agent harness / Agent / Security strategy & tool stack / Workflow To give some
