Story 1

User @dankvr shared their work on creating animated AI agents for projects on @x23_ai platform using ElizaOS.

They posted images showing the agents they've created, noting they were 'rigged/animated' and created using AI for a proof of concept. The user mentioned they were excited to demonstrate the capabilities of these agents in future presentations.

X/Twitter

User @elizaOS shared a thread highlighting six new AI agents and tools.

The featured projects included: 1) Steambot Willie by @Tapestry_AI, an agent that tracks IP entering public domain and suggests remixing ideas; 2) The Intern (@theinterndotfun), a marketing agent for X that engages and grows reach; 3) ProAgentAI, a yield optimizer built with elizaOS that manages liquidity pool positions; 4) Data Barista (@DataBarista), which matches complementary people and connects them via DMs; 5) Soulmates (@soulmates_land), an intent-based connection agent for networking, friendship, and romance; and 6) ElizaOS x Phala (@PhalaNetwork), which runs eliza agents in a Trusted Execution Environment for privacy-preserving compute. @elizaOS announced these projects would be demonstrated in the ElizaOS discord at 17:00 UTC, noting these examples show 'what agents are really capable of.'

X/Twitter
Story 3

User @shawmakesmagic shared insights about development practices.

They mentioned a node-client project that still needs work but shows promise, linking to a repository. In response to various users, they discussed: how lawyers use professional AI tools with grounded citations; the benefits of using both frontend and backend approaches; and how modern development is cleaner than previous methods that required hydrating templates from languages like Python or Perl. They also mentioned subscribing to SaaS products sometimes just to support developers, stating 'Have some ARR for a year or two, luck be on your side in your startup journey.' The user also shared a screenshot showing they had 'a problem' with numerous browser tabs open.
