Hackyard

Small pop-up AI hackathons for solo builders to ship fast.

Hackyard hosts intimate, theme-based hackathons designed for solo developers. With participant caps between 20 and 100, every project gets the attention it deserves. Participants have one weekend to build, ship, and vote, fostering a scrappy and creative environment where shipping matters more than polish.

Decawork

Control your company's internal AI agents and tools

Decawork lets IT teams take the AI agents that employees have built and bring them into the company in a controlled way. An employee might create an agent using Claude Code, Codex, or any other vibecoding tool. Decawork brings that agent onto company accounts, runs it as a proper company asset, and gives IT full visibility and control. From one dashboard, you can manage access, monitor usage, oversee what the agent does, and retire it when it is no longer needed. It turns scattered, unmanaged AI experiments into a reliable, governed workforce.

Construct Computer

Your AI coworker gets a computer. You get your day back.

AI workforce for solo founders and small teams. Any MCP or skill installs like an app, agents build the tools that don't exist yet, deployed and managed by the platform, shareable to the whole team, and any agent action you like turns into a reusable workflow so agents spend less time thinking and more time doing.

Local

Zero (!) friction local AI for your Mac

Local is a macOS app that runs fully private AI directly on your own machine. Set up is frictionless because the app tunes itself to your hardware, so chat, coding agents, and meeting notes can run up to 5.4x faster on the same setup when data never leaves your device. There is no cloud account and no cost. Office Mode lets you run AI on the fastest machine in the office, and any laptop can connect to it. You get strong and private AI without having to send your data anywhere.

Lifelong

Your whole family’s health in one place.

Lifelong is the family health app built around the household, not just one person. You can keep records, medications, symptoms, appointments, activity, and sleep together for everyone you care about. Connect the wearables you already use, keep the right people in the loop, and use Alo, the in-app AI companion, to log updates and take simple actions. Sharing stays user-controlled, so you decide who sees what. Lifelong is available on iOS and comes with a two-week free trial. It is the easiest way to manage your family's health in one place, ensuring no detail gets lost and everyone stays informed.

Epho

Run Claude Code, Codex or Opencode in cloud with your repo

Epho runs Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode in the cloud. You send a message and stream back the result, and there is no SDK, daemon, or infrastructure to run on your side. Epho takes care of the sandboxes, fallbacks, event streaming, and agent configuration for you. With a single API call you can start a Claude Code session that is already connected to your repo, aware of your context, and ready to work in a serverless setup. It is a clean, low-effort way to let cloud agents do the heavy lifting.

fx (by Vercel)

Vercel's tiny, open-source coding agent

fx is Vercel's tiny, open-source coding agent built to get out of your way. Because it is written in Zig and ships as a native binary about 6MB in game, it starts almost instantly and keeps memory and bandwidth very low. You can run it with local or cloud models, extend it with skills, plugins, and MCPs, or embed it into your own agent infrastructure. It is small by design, which gives the model more room and you a lighter tool to work with.
