A self-hosted inbox for background AI agents is now open source
A team of developers at AWS has open-sourced Pizza Bot, a self-hosted inbox designed for background AI agents. It lets agents run scheduled or webhook-triggered tasks, delegate work to specialized workers, and pause for human approval when needed. This is a practical step toward making autonomous agents more controllable and transparent.

Meta enters the AI coding arena with agent tools and smarter models.
Meta is entering the AI coding race with intent. Today's beta release of Muse Code, a terminal-based agent built for large repositories, pairs with Muse Spark 1.2, a model co-trained alongside its own harness. The pitch is practical: persistent background agents, parallel worktrees, and a replay-exact audit log. Pricing undercuts rivals significantly, though the contributor tier trades tokens for training data. It's a calculated move from a company that once championed open weights. For now, the frontier just got more crowded.
