TheySaid is a user-testing platform that runs usability tests with synthetic AI testers or real people and delivers findings and fix prompts inside tools like Claude Code, Cursor and Jira.
Trigger.dev is an open-source (Apache 2.0) platform for writing long-running AI agents and background workflows in TypeScript, with retries, queues, realtime streaming, observability and managed or self-hosted infrastructure.
BAND is interaction infrastructure for AI agents: agents built on different frameworks join shared rooms where they exchange context, delegate work and ask humans for approval. Band Desktop brings this to local coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode.
Overmind is an open-source (AGPL-3.0) platform that turns AI agents' production traces into datasets, evals and fine-tuned open models you own, with observability, an MCP server and a hosted console.
Composio connects AI assistants and custom agents to more than 1,500 apps through managed authentication, SDKs and an MCP gateway, and its new Instant tools let agents pay per call for search, scraping, audio and data services from one balance.
shim-cli is a free, Apache-2.0 command-line tool that hooks into Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI and VS Code to find secrets and personal data in what an agent sends, mask it where the client allows, and report session tokens and cost.
Polylane connects your code, cloud and observability data so AI agents can detect production issues, trace the root cause and open a pull request with the fix; Polylane for Cloudflare covers Workers, D1, R2, Queues and more with one read-only token.
Give your agent a backend. Models, auth, database and storage in one cloud — from demo to production.
ReefAPI is one gateway to 250+ live web-data APIs: e-commerce, social, real estate, jobs, travel, news, finance and company data. Clean JSON, free tier.
Pomerado builds deterministic MCP and API integrations for websites without an API, including sites behind logins and 2FA, so agents call a tool instead of driving a browser. Open-source core (MIT) plus a hosted cloud.
