Sai is a robosecretary, their word and a good one, that comes with a fleet of cloud computers doing your screen work, each machine reading the screen and clicking and typing exactly the way you would, badly-designed internal portal and all. Working at the interface means it drives the software that never had an API, so the ancient desktop app your finance team won't give up is finally automatable, and five tasks wake five machines at once. It scores 73% on OSWorld, just over the 72.4% humans manage on the same tasks and well behind the 86% at the top of that leaderboard, so it's a competent assistant rather than a brilliant one, and it's free.

Turfs is Fences for the Mac, which Windows has had since 2009 and which Ludwig built himself after a decade of waiting, on the reasonable theory that if he was still waiting then everyone else was too. You draw named areas on the desktop and drop things in, and a turf can be backed by a real folder so it syncs both ways, or by a Finder tag so it quietly gathers everything on your machine wearing that tag. Making the areas survive Show Desktop meant replacing Finder's own icon layer, which is why Turfs can never be sandboxed or sold in the Mac App Store, and probably why nobody had bothered before.

Cronhq is a scheduler built around the two ways cron quietly ruins your month, both of which Michael watched teams walk into at client gigs. The first is the duplicate, where you scale to two boxes carrying the same crontab, the nightly billing job fires twice, and you hear about it from a furious customer rather than any dashboard you own. The second is worse, a job that simply stops with no crash and no alert, and six weeks later the reports turn out to have been empty since March. His answer is a Postgres lock every run has to claim, and he's put exactly-once execution on the tin, which is brave given the old argument that you cannot have it at all.
