OpenAgents Episode 188: The Dashboard We finally replace our standard Claude Code usage with the new OpenAgents dashboard, a clean web app using the Claude Code SDK to easily manage multiple coding agents at once. We demo our new dev workflow, firing off two quick voice notes (thank you AquaVoice!) resulting in two mergeable pull requests a few minutes later. "Every person using Claude Code is generating a crap-ton of data in every conversation. Right now that data is just sitting on your computer. I think auto-deleted after 30 days. You should have an option of uploading that to a database, a Convex URL of your choice. Or if you don't want to set that up, that's what OpenAgents as a service is going to provide. And then be able to do some very interesting things with that data. More on that soon." Watch on X: https://x.com/OpenAgentsInc/status/1951344146599256504 https://stacker.news/items/1063806

OpenAgents Episode 187: Mobile Sync We demo the two-way sync of Claude Code chats between our desktop app and iOS app. Chats started on the desktop show instantly on mobile and vice versa, with no complex setup needed. Cloud sync powered by Convex. As the first coding agent product with this feature, we declare OpenAgents to be the coolest bestest agent product on the market. Victory! Next up: how much will this increase our APM? We'll collect new data over the weekend and share it Monday, then prepare our first public beta release.

OpenAgents Episode 186: Actions Per Minute Flawed ground-truth data in agent benchmark "Humanity's Last Exam" underscores the need for better ways to measure agent effectiveness. Primarily we want to measure our agents' velocity of output. We'll adapt from StarCraft 2 the idea of actions per minute (APM). We demo the stats pane we added to OpenAgents which analyzes historical Claude Code conversations and shows your APM over the last hour, 6 hours, day, week, etc. From this author's Claude Code usage across 277 sessions, we establish our baseline of 2.3 APM. Rookie numbers! Now to pump them up... Watch on X: https://x.com/OpenAgentsInc/status/1948617421654245436

Episode 185: Hello Claude Code We connect OpenAgents to Claude Code, showing two chats in draggable chat windows with hotkeys for opening and closing chats. We explain our goals for today: 1. Switch our day-to-day Claude Code usage from the CLI to the OpenAgents app 2. Develop a metric to measure agent actions per minute (APM) 3. Prepare to run the app overnight and compare the new APM to our pre-OpenAgents APM As an added bonus, we pull in our hand tracking system from episode 176 so we can give a glowing middle finger to Meta for abandoning open source.

Episode 184: Hello Tauri We create a fresh Tauri app with Bun, React, TypeScript, and Rust. We add the permissive open-source license CC0, committing the OpenAgents codebase to the public domain. Watch on X: https://x.com/openagentsinc/status/1948214009615765765?s=46

"Here's the idea: Claude Code is running circles around Cursor and Windsurf from what I can tell, certainly in my own usage. Claude Code lets me be in the editor maybe 5% of the time that I used to be. What do you think the future is going to be? Do you think in the future I'm going to spend more than 5% of my time in the editor, or less than 5% of my time in the editor? No I think that's going to approach 0%. So bearish on editors. Sorry Cursor, sorry Windsurf, I think we're going to go after your users. Thank you very much. And then everyone's building these CLI agents. It frankly annoys me. I want a desktop app and a mobile app. So feel free to check back in three days if you want to test this out, otherwise stay tuned for the next video."

OpenAgents Episode 183: Zero Base "This is our sixth time deleting our codebase. And we've grown exceedingly efficient at it." Our new challenge: In a fresh repo, can we build the world's best coding agent in three days? We'll begin with a desktop app that wraps Claude Code and augments it with: - Mobile sync for easy edits on-the-go - An orchestration layer to keep Claude Code working 24/7 - Other models like o3, Gemini 2.5 Pro, open/local Claude Code has liberated us from IDEs and we're not going back. But we don't think terminal UIs are the future either. We want a desktop app synced easily with a mobile app. That doesn't exist, so we'll build it. And aim to release v1 by the end of this week!
