harvey

ethanplusai/harvey · ★ 1.2K

Harvey is an autonomous AI sales agent that finds businesses to sell to, learns something specific about each one, writes a personalized cold email, sends it, reads replies, and pushes the conversation toward a booked meeting — running in a loop on your own machine.

Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep

wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep · ★ 17.6K

ARIS (Auto-Research-In-Sleep) is a pack of lightweight Markdown-only skills that turn coding agents like Claude Code into autonomous ML research assistants — covering idea discovery, cross-model review loops, and experiment automation. A standalone ARIS-Code CLI is also available.

+5

GenericAgent

lsdefine/GenericAgent · ★ 14.3K

GenericAgent (GA) is a minimal, self-evolving autonomous agent framework that gives any LLM system-level control over a local computer - browser, terminal, filesystem, keyboard/mouse, screen vision, and mobile via ADB. Instead of preloading skills, it crystallizes every solved task into a reusable 'Skill', growing a personal skill tree from a ~3K-line seed.

pi-autoresearch

davebcn87/pi-autoresearch · ★ 8.2K

pi-autoresearch is an extension for pi, a terminal-based AI coding agent, that runs autonomous optimization loops: it tries a code change, benchmarks it, keeps the change if it's an improvement, reverts it if it isn't, and repeats indefinitely.

    gpt-engineer

    gpt-engineer is a CLI tool where you describe the software you want in a plain-text 'prompt' file, and an AI (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, or Anthropic models) writes and executes the code for you; you can also ask it to implement improvements to existing code.

    evolver

    8.7KEvoMap/evolver · JavaScript

    Evolver is a self-evolution engine for AI agents. It reads an agent's runtime logs and signals, distills them into auditable, reusable evolution assets called Genes and Capsules, and emits a protocol-bound GEP prompt that guides the agent's next step.

    nullclaw

    8.1Knullclaw/nullclaw · Zig

    nullclaw is a fully autonomous AI assistant infrastructure: one small static Zig binary that you self-host and connect to your chat apps and AI providers.

    autoresearch

    6.6Kuditgoenka/autoresearch · Shell

    Autoresearch is a skill/plugin that turns Claude Code (and also OpenCode or OpenAI Codex) into an autonomous improvement engine: you set a goal, and it loops through modify, verify, keep-or-discard cycles on its own, logging every experiment.

  5. 8

    mimiclaw

    5.8Kmemovai/mimiclaw · C

    MimiClaw turns a $5 ESP32-S3 microcontroller into a personal AI assistant you talk to through Telegram, complete with local memory and tool-calling, running entirely on a tiny chip with no Linux, no Node.js, and no server involved.

    claude-ops

    546Lifecycle-Innovations-Limited/claude-ops · Shell

    A plugin that turns Claude Code into a business operating system: one /ops:go command surfaces infrastructure health, CI/CD status, a unified inbox, open PRs, sprint state and revenue (Stripe + RevenueCat + AWS), with autonomous C-suite agents that act on your behalf.
