NovaSynth by Noveum — Test your voice agent on the callers you can’t stage.
NovaSynth throws difficult callers at your voice agent before real ones get to it. The callers are the product: The Interrupter cuts the agent off mid-sentence and demands an answer anyway, The Second-Guesser agrees and then changes their mind twice, somebody else is doing all of this from a moving bike in traffic. Additi and the team built every one of them from a real transcript somebody showed them. Calls branch too, wrong order number, refused callback, sudden demand for a manager, so when your agent fails you see the exact turn where it went down. Anyone who has sat through real support calls will recognize these people immediately.
Framer 3.0 — Framer 3.0 put a design agent on the canvas
(sponsored)Framer 3.0 is the design agent for every step from idea to launch, and it works alongside you, not instead of you. Describe the site, watch the agent build real pages on the canvas, then edit anything it made: breakpoints, components, code, CMS, SEO. Branching gives it a safe place to take the big swings so you merge only what you want. Already living in Claude, Cursor or Codex? Point them at Framer and ship from wherever you work. Not just vibes, a full platform. (sponsored)
Text Agent Store — A marketplace for AI agents you can text
Text Agent Store is an app store where every app is a phone number. You save the contact, text it, and the agent texts back with the job done, no download, no account, nothing to learn. Stanley's reasoning is simple: texting agents keep launching and the only way anyone finds one today is catching it on X by accident, so he built the shelf, 137 agents in three months, each one reviewed before it's listed. The store itself is also just a number you text. I saved it, obviously.
Die With Me — AIM buddy list for your friends’ Claude Code and Codex usage
Die With Me puts an AIM buddy list back on your Mac, except now it shows your friends' Claude Code usage: who's locked in, who's touching grass, whose AI has clocked out for the day. Those are Weiwei's words, and her reason for building it was missing the old feeling of seeing your people idling around and having an excuse to say hi. When you burn through your token limit you can at least die with company, hence the name. AOL deleted every buddy list in 2017 when it shut AIM down, so there's something quietly great about one coming back for this, of all things.
