Modern builders want more than static automations. You want systems that adapt, reason, and take action based on context. That’s exactly what this partnership delivers. On their own, these platforms are powerful: Agent.ai gives builders the tools to create AI agents that reason, learn, and make decisions. Make gives you a visual canvas to connect 3,000+ apps—from Slack to Airtable to HubSpot, and beyond—orchestrating anything from simple tasks to enterprise workflows. Put them together, and you unlock a new level of creativity: automations that think for themselves. For founders, indie hackers, and small teams, this means speed, adaptability, and true leverage from day one. Check out the details here: https://hubs.la/Q03z3ZQM0 #agenticai #aiagents

Apparently, people are buying 40 Mac Minis to run software that’s still evolving in public. An agent that moves faster than guardrails can keep up. Clawdbot → Moltbot → OpenClaw in a few days. Typosquat domains. Fake repos. Cloned extensions. “Official installers” that aren’t. Fake Clawdbot VS Code extensions already deployed RATs. People installed them because they couldn’t tell what was real. This is not a critique of OpenClaw. It looks genuinely useful. People are shipping real workflows with it. But when excitement moves faster than caution, people start granting deep access to software they don’t fully understand yet. And that’s where it gets risky. The problem is that high hype, rapid changes, and software needing deep permissions make it easy for attackers to impersonate real tools. To be useful, an agent needs access to things you shouldn’t share lightly, like browser sessions, tokens, API keys, files, your shell, and email. When real utility meets real risk, you have to manage it or deal with the fallout. If you’re planning to use this, here’s what you need to do to stay safe: - Don’t run it on your main machine. Sandbox it (dedicated machine or at least a dedicated user). - Start with scoped keys and burner creds. Rotate fast. - Verify the exact repo and install source every single time. Don’t trust the shortcut. - Turn on logging and approvals for anything destructive. If you can’t audit what it did, you’re not ready to scale it. This isn’t being paranoid. It’s about choosing to be proactive with governance instead of reacting to problems after they happen. Agents will soon be the norm. The question is whether you adopt them because everyone’s talking about them, or because you’ve actually figured out how to govern them. Not everyone needs to be early. Some of us need to be safe first. P.S. I build in public >> https://t2m.io/4aDyNCpu For the love of the game 🏴‍☠️ ⚡️

Custom software is “expensive.” Until you calculate this: 👇 • SaaS subscriptions for 10 employees • Add-ons • Automation tools • Integration platforms • Lost time • Process inefficiencies Suddenly your £1,200/month tools are costing £25,000+ per year. And you still don’t own the system. Here’s what most SMEs don’t realise: Bespoke software becomes cheaper long-term when: 1- You have repetitive manual processes 2- You’re scaling operations 3- You rely heavily on spreadsheets 4- Your tools don’t integrate properly The question isn’t: “Can we afford custom software?” ❌️ It’s: “How much is inefficiency costing us?” ✅️ Happy to answer questions in the comments.
