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.

This is a practical step toward making autonomous agents more controllable and transparent.

Meet Dots, the new AI agent that works quietly in the background
Dots doesn't demand your attention, it simply works, quietly pursuing the goals you set, free from the constraints of a specific device or interface. That's a refreshing shift from tools that require constant oversight. By operating independently in the background, Dots lets you focus on outcomes rather than management. It's a practical step toward a more autonomous way of handling data.
