I've made a number of improvements to Platypus over the last few weeks.
I've added more tools for managing resources in your workplace. Want to add a new agent or skill? Simply ask an agent to create it for you.
Also, the UI is now more responsive on mobile.

I've recently added 2 NEW major features to Platypus:
⏰Schedules allow you to configure a one time or reoccurring trigger for an agent.
📋Kanban boards are the glue between you and your agents. An agent can read your boards, execute work and move cards between columns.

OK. Pluribus was a little bit awesome 💣
Ever had one of those months where people around you are making such emphatically reckless decisions and no-one else seems to care? The beginning of this year is like slow motion car crash.
Latest release of Platypus now supports sub-agents! This is considered experimental so may have some rough edges! Give it a whirl and let me know what you think!

New version of Platypus released. Agent list now shows tool and skill counts and the elicitation tool will stop the chat loop after asking a follow up question.

Thanks for the suggestion! I've added a screenshot to the README.
I recently open sourced Platypus, a multi-tenant LLM UI similar to Open Web UI. ✨
Built on Next.js, Hono.js, Better Auth and AI SDK.
MIT licenced.
I'd love it if you (🫵) checked it out!

Love this hilarious, unhinged 'Sesame Street for adults' style video by Ashley Birch.

How dare Disney make Star Wars for adults.
Just found out I have been accepted into the AWS Community Builders program under the AI Engineering category! 🤖
Looking forward to rubbing shoulders with fellow AWS Builders 🤩
Thanks @jasondunn.bsky.social and team!

My latest blog post breaks down the Saga pattern – a powerful way to maintain data consistency across services without relying on complex distributed transactions. Learn about choreography vs. orchestration, and how to implement both on AWS.

As a long-time Chrome user I recently made the switch to Firefox (on Mac). My main motivation for switching was the more "open" nature of the project.
I think I am going to switch back. I've had issues where video calls simply don't work and I often get choppy video playback. Disappointing 😔
Someone needs to make a job search site targeting tech folks which aggregates other job sites but rewords job ads so the tech stack appears at the top!
An LLM would make light work of that.

TIL if you type "the bus that couldn't slow down" intro IMDb it returns "Speed" 😂

Great to see AWS has now added a "stack refactoring" feature to CloudFormation!
This should prevent the need to delete-then-import to move resources between stacks, which in my experience has always been a butt-clenching experience.

✨New features✨
Foreman now expects to retrieve an array of zero-or-more jobs per-request to the control server (previously, zero-or-one).
Also, it's now possible to configure maximum concurrent jobs!

The Fantastic Four trailer is wild.
Finally got around to watching Skeleton Crew.
A nice standalone story. I felt the pirate theme was a bit too "arrr matey" in parts but overall I'm a sucker for the "kids on bikes have adventure" genre.
✨New feature ✨
Foreman will now stop and remove Docker containers it manages when receiving a termination signal from the operating system. Container removal is also configurable via settings (defaults to `true`).
#rust #rustlang #opensource #docker

✨ My latest blog post explores envelope encryption with AWS KMS, how it works and how it compares to AWS Secrets Manager.
#aws #security #blog

✨New feature!✨
Foreman, will now clean-up (delete) stopped containers after a configurable timeout.
At this stage foreman does not stop or remove containers when SIGINT or SIGTERM is received. This will likely be added next.

PSA 🚨
Don't forget to update the current year to 2025 in your public git repositories LICENSE.{txt,md} files!
#git #github #opensource
I wonder if 2025 will be the year AWS adds Bun and/or Deno runtimes to Lambda natively? 🤔
#aws #serverless
Wow! Bun 1.2 has native built-in support for AWS S3 and a new SQL client supporting Postgres.

I enjoyed reading this article from Anthropic on various patterns used in building AI agents.
I've read a few articles now saying that using LLM APIs directly VS frameworks like Langchain is preferred as abstraction added by the latter make things harder to debug.
