How to Build AI Agents Like Dots, Instinct, Muse & Grok Bot

How do you build an agent like Dots, Muse, Instinct, or Grok Bot? Start high up the stack, and move down only when you need more control. Vishnu Krishnaprasad, founder of YC F26 startup Agent37, explains when to use Hermes, OpenClaw, or Pi, why each user needs a separate sandbox, and how to turn a proven manual workflow into skills. He also demos a Dots-like agent built on Hermes.

How to Use Bend2 to Verify Code Written by Coding Agents

Your coding agent can write code and prove that it follows a rule you specify, for every allowed input. We use Bend2 to show how to choose rules worth proving, get the agent to work through the proofs, and decide where the extra effort pays off. You can start with one important part of an existing app; you still decide whether those rules capture what you actually want.

Jev and Decision Models: A New Layer for AI Agents

We try Jev for live prompt feedback and test selection, then explore model and tool routing, fast browser loops, and what fell short in a local-model trial. Where should an agent use code, a decision model, or a generative model?

The Fall 2026 Workflow for Starting Projects with Coding Agents

GPT-6 Astra and Fable 5.1 are changing how we start new software projects. We walk through a real project's Codex conversation: where we applied engineering judgment, what we left to the model, and how we planned verification so the agent could keep building autonomously.

New Model Dropped? 4 Ways to De-slop Your Project

A new model is a useful prompt to revisit old project decisions. We cover four maintenance tasks: pruning low-value code and tests, turning recurring mistakes into lint rules, reassessing implementations, and updating agent instructions with official model guidance.

Give Coding Agents Eyes Beyond the Chat: Screen Recordings, Session History, and Devices

Your coding agent can inspect its chat, files, and terminal history, but it cannot see browser research, manual context transfer, distraction, or real device behavior. We show how screen recordings, session history, and device feeds can give agents that missing view.
