Sadik (@sadik_0x) reportedSomeone Built a 50-Agent AI Company in One Repo. Most People Will Copy the Wrong Part. A solo founder put a GitHub repo online that spins up an entire AI agency. Not one assistant. An org chart: engineers, designers, growth marketers, product managers, QA, legal, sales, each running as its own Claude Code agent, coordinating to ship actual work. It hit 128,000-plus stars in under 90 days. One person built it. That number alone tells you something in this space is starving for a better mental model than "one agent, one giant prompt." The repo is real and the structure is worth understanding in detail, because the part everyone is about to copy (the org chart) isn't the part that makes it work. Part 1: What the Repo Actually Is The project is called agency-agents, built by developer msitarzewski, and it's structured exactly like the name suggests: a company, not a chatbot. Instead of one model trying to hold "design this, build it, market it, support it" in a single context window, the work is split across more than 50 specialized agents, each scoped to one job the way an actual employee would be. That framing is the interesting part before you even look at the department list. Most people building with AI agents default to the monolith approach: one system prompt, one agent, every responsibility crammed into the same context. It works for small tasks and falls apart the moment the work needs different kinds of judgment at different stages. A designer and a QA engineer are not the same job. Forcing one agent to be both, badly, is how you get output that's mediocre at everything instead of good at one thing. Part 2: The Nine Departments Here's the actual org chart, broken into its nine groups: 1. Engineering (7 agents) frontend, backend, mobile, AI, DevOps, prototyping, senior development. This is the core build layer, the part most people think of first when they hear "AI agents write code." 2. Design (7 agents) UI/UX, research, architecture, branding, visual storytelling, image generation. Notably, this isn't just "make it look nice." Research and architecture sit inside design here, which matters, because good design decisions upstream save engineering agents from rebuilding things twice. 3. Marketing (8 agents) growth hacking, content, Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, app store. The largest single department, split by platform rather than by function, which mirrors how real growth teams are actually staffed once a product has more than one channel. 4. Product (3 agents) sprint prioritization, trend research, feedback synthesis. The smallest department, and arguably the most load-bearing, since this is the layer that decides what the other departments should even be working on. 5. Project Management (5 agents) production, coordination, operations, experimentation. This is the connective tissue between departments, not a department that produces its own output. 6. Testing (7 agents) QA, performance analysis, API testing, quality verification. Note that this is a separate department from engineering entirely, not a step engineering does to itself. 7. Support (6 agents) customer service, analytics, finance, legal, executive reporting. The department most demo repos skip, and the one that determines whether this can run as an actual business instead of a build pipeline. 8. Spatial Computing (6 agents) XR, visionOS, WebXR, Metal, Vision Pro. A genuinely niche department, and a signal that the repo's author is building for a specific bet on where interfaces are headed, not just a general-purpose team. 9. Specialized (6 agents) multi-agent orchestration, data analytics, sales, distribution. The department that manages the other departments, which is worth remembering when you get to Part 4. Nine departments, over 50 agents, one repository, one founder maintaining it. Part 3: Why the Framing Works The instinct to structure this like a company instead of a single super-agent is the right one, and it's worth being explicit about why. Specialized roles with clear responsibilities scale in a way that one enormous system prompt does not. When a frontend agent only has to think like a frontend engineer, its output gets sharper, not because the underlying model changed, but because its context isn't fighting itself between five unrelated jobs. The handoff structure is the other half of it. Real companies don't route every decision through one person; they route work between roles with clear inputs and outputs. A design agent handing a spec to an engineering agent, which hands a build to a testing agent, mirrors how actual product teams function. That's a better default than the common alternative, where one agent is asked to design, build, and QA its own work in the same breath, which is the AI equivalent of no one checking your homework but you. Part 4: The Problem Nobody Mentions When They Share This Repo Here's what gets lost every time this kind of project goes viral: an org chart of agents is not the same thing as a working company. The default behavior of any of these agents, run individually, is the same as every other prompt-based interaction: you ask, it answers once, it stops. That's fine for a single request. It is not fine for a company, because a company doesn't ship once. It iterates, checks its own output, catches mistakes, and hands work downstream without someone standing over every single step. Fifty specialized agents with no feedback mechanism between them isn't an agency. It's a very expensive to-do list, dressed up as an org chart. You still have to manually trigger each agent, manually check its output, manually decide when to pass it to the next one. All the department structure in Part 2 buys you better-scoped output per agent. It does not, by itself, buy you a system that runs without you standing in the middle of every handoff. Part 5: The Missing Piece Is Loops The fix is the same concept that makes any multi-agent system actually function unattended: loops. A loop, in this context, means an agent runs, checks its own output against a real condition (not its own opinion of whether it's done), and either hands the verified result to the next agent in the chain or corrects itself and tries again. Without that check, "coordination between agents" is just you copy-pasting output from one chat into another, which is not meaningfully different from doing the work yourself with extra steps. This is what separates a demo from something that ships. A design agent that hands off a spec nobody verified is a liability, not a coordination win. A testing agent that only runs once and reports "looks good" without a real pass/fail check is not quality assurance, it's a guess with better formatting. The department that matters most here, and the one buried at the bottom of the org chart in Part 2, is Specialized: multi-agent orchestration. That's the layer actually responsible for making sure work moves between departments with a real check at each handoff, not just a polite one-way pass. Part 6: How to Actually Set This Up If you're cloning the repo, don't start by installing all nine departments at once. Start smaller: Pick two departments that actually depend on each other for your use case engineering and testing is a reasonable first pair, since the handoff (build, then verify) has an obvious objective check: does the code pass its tests. Add a real verifier between them, not a second opinion from the same agent. The engineering agent should not be the one that decides its own code is done. A separate testing agent, with its own instructions and no visibility into the builder's reasoning, checks it cold. Give every handoff a stopping condition. "Pass the tests" is checkable. "Looks finished" is not. If a department can't define what done means in a way something other than the agent itself can verify, that handoff isn't ready to run unattended yet. Add one more department only after the first pair is reliable. The org chart in Part 2 has nine departments for a reason, but running all of them before you've proven the loop works between two is how you end up debugging fifty agents at once instead of two. A Quick Test Before You Commit Before you wire up the full org chart, ask whether your use case genuinely needs it. If you're shipping a single feature with one clear success condition, a two-agent loop (builder and checker) does the job with a fraction of the setup. The full nine-department structure earns its complexity when you're running something closer to an actual ongoing product, not a one-off build. The Honest Limitation None of this replaces judgment about what should be automated in the first place. A company with fifty employees and no manager checking the actual quality of what ships is still a company that ships bad work, just faster and with better org-chart optics. The repo gives you the roles. It doesn't give you the discipline of a real check at every handoff. That part is still yours to build. Where This Leaves You The repo is worth cloning, the department structure is worth studying, and the instinct to build like a company instead of one giant agent is the right one. Just don't stop at the org chart. The 128,000 stars are proof people want this. Whether it actually functions as an agency instead of a very well-organized to-do list depends entirely on whether you wire up the loops between departments, or just admire the department list and call it done.

Ink (@TheInkReaper) reported@lucifersbsf @sidewalklvl great, ive been pirating since the 90s also, i guess we have that in common. so, why do you think then a link is "safe" for years in reddit but as soon as it touches twitter it goes down? or its just random and happens without any influence on the media and public?

ecclairebear (@CColl38408) reported@JOSH___AOTEAROA @kyan_nez @lancestroll_ I wasn’t on this app when Liam was driving RB21, but as a Yuki fan - I was defending Liam over on reddit coz the car was difficult to drive. The fact both Liam and Yuki had good performances in vcarb02 and struggled in RB21 should tell you that the team and car is the issue

Yiqi Wu (@yiqiw_) reportedPeople will be shocked we don’t just integrate inside Meta. Aimerce integrates server-side not just one, not just twice but 16 ad platforms! but 16+ ad, email, SMS, and checkout platforms. Here’s what Aimerce integrates with: • Ad platforms: Meta (Facebook & Instagram), Google Ads, TikTok, Pinterest, Snapchat, Reddit, Taboola, and OpenAI Ads (ChatGPT Ads Manager) • Email & SMS platforms: Klaviyo, Omnisend, Attentive, Sendlane, and Postscript • Checkout & funnel platforms: Checkout Champ, Funnelish, and Lightfunnels Every integration runs on the same foundation. Aimerce's first-party pixel captures even The integrations aren't sixteen separate tools but instead they're sixteen destinations for one data stream. Here's the flow: 1. Capture. Aimerce's first-party pixel records every meaningful event (page views, add-to-carts, checkouts, purchases) server-side, immune to ad blockers and browser restrictions. 2. Identify. Each event is attached to a durable visitor ID that persists for up to a year, instead of the days a Safari cookie survives. 3. Enrich. Events carry first-party data customer details, product information, click IDs that platforms use for matching and optimization. 4. Deliver. Aimerce formats and sends the event to each connected platform's server-side API, managing deduplication automatically so browser and server events are never double-counted. So if you are having trouble with any of these platforms, @aimerce_ai could help!

Ricardo (@Ric_RTP) reportedThis is the first real AI cold war. Anthropic is HIDING secret spy code inside its most popular coding tool. The code was designed to identify Chinese users without their knowledge. Now Alibaba has banned every single Anthropic product from its entire company. And the full picture is way more insane than either side wants you to see: On June 30, a security researcher on Reddit reverse-engineered Claude Code, Anthropic's AI coding agent that has deep access to every file on your computer. What they found buried inside the software was genuinely disturbing... Since April 2, Anthropic had been silently shipping hidden detection code inside every copy of Claude Code. The code checked whether your system timezone was set to Shanghai or Urumqi. It scanned your proxy settings against a hardcoded list of Chinese corporate networks, specifically targeting Alibaba, ByteDance, Baidu, and Moonshot AI. But here is the part that made security researchers lose their minds: The code did not send a normal signal back to Anthropic's servers. Instead it used steganography, a technique from military intelligence, to hide its findings INSIDE the text Claude was already generating. It swapped invisible Unicode characters in Claude's system prompt. Changed a standard apostrophe to one of three visually identical but technically different characters depending on which flags triggered. Switched date formats from dashes to slashes. Invisible to the human eye. But perfectly readable by Anthropic's backend. The detection logic was XOR-obfuscated to prevent anyone from finding it during a code review. It shipped with zero disclosure in the release notes. Three months of silent surveillance baked into a tool that has full access to your local file system. An Anthropic engineer confirmed the whole thing on X on July 2. Called it "an experiment we launched in March that was meant to prevent account abuse." Said the team had "been meaning to take this down for a while." The code was removed on July 1, one day after the Reddit post went viral. Three months of covert user fingerprinting. Removed the day after someone found it. Described as an experiment they forgot to turn off... Now here is where it becomes a full blown corporate war: Three weeks before the backdoor was discovered, Anthropic had sent a letter to the US Senate Banking Committee accusing operators linked to Alibaba's Qwen AI lab of running the largest model theft campaign in the company's history. 25,000 fake accounts. 28.8 million queries over 44 days. All designed to copy Claude's reasoning capabilities and train a competing Chinese model for free. So the sequence reads like this: Alibaba allegedly steals Claude's brain using 25,000 fake accounts. Anthropic responds by secretly embedding surveillance code inside Claude Code to catch them. A Reddit user catches Anthropic doing it. Alibaba uses the discovery as justification to ban every Anthropic product from its entire workforce effective July 10 and force 200,000 employees onto its own tool, Qoder. The thief caught the cop planting a wiretap. And now the thief is using the wiretap as evidence that the cop is the real criminal. Alibaba classified Claude Code as "high-risk software with security vulnerabilities" in an internal notice reported by the South China Morning Post. Meanwhile Anthropic is simultaneously fighting the Pentagon over a blacklist designation, lobbying Washington to crack down on Chinese distillation, and getting caught running the exact kind of covert operation that makes their "responsible AI" branding look like a punchline. Alibaba allegedly ran the largest AI theft operation ever documented. Anthropic secretly built invisible tracking into a tool with root access to your computer. The US government restricted American access to the very models China already copied. And a random Reddit user with a debugger exposed the whole thing.

Skin.Land (@SkinLand_market) reportedA developer on Reddit built a server-side anti-cheat that completely breaks ESP and radar hacks! The server simply stops sending enemy coordinates to your PC while they are behind walls, leaving cheats with absolutely zero data to render. It flawlessly handles footstep sounds and pre-loads player models before they swing corners to prevent pop-ins. Since your PC doesn't have to process hidden enemies, you actually get a 20-30% FPS boost! Valve, take notes and add this to the game!👇
