Aloud turns you talking at your screen into a task list for your coding agent. Hit record, walk through your app pointing at what's wrong, director's commentary style. It cleans up how people actually talk, the "move this over there" and the changing your mind halfway, and works out which frame you meant. Out comes a set of tasks for Claude Code or Cursor. The slow part of building with agents is the brief now, and Wojciech Dobry was losing five minutes typing what he could say in thirty seconds.

Berd is a desktop app built by Block (Square, CashApp, etc) for running AI agents on your own files, and instead of a chat window you get an infinite canvas with each agent sitting on it as a little creature called a Gloopy, which is the maker's word and not mine. Your files, skills and sessions live in the same space, history stays on your machine, and it works with whatever model you already use. It runs on Goose, the agent framework Block open sourced last year, now past 53,000 GitHub stars.
