Jev's model is free on Vercel until Sept 25.
Worth grabbing now if you've been meaning to try it.
Not that it costs much anyway.

Google just shipped a new agent. It's called CC.
This one isn't a personal agent. It's a family group agent. It gets its own Google account and links up to 6 family members, then helps run the whole household. It can read everyone's email in the group, sort out schedules, set up shared to-dos and lists. Pretty much everything you'd expect from an agent, plus it remembers the family's preferences. Runs on gemini-flash. Whitelist only for now, and you need a US personal Gmail. labs.google/cc
September's hottest model is one that doesn't speak.
I keep running into Jev. It's basically the agent version of if. Jev doesn't chat with you, it makes calls. Feed it a support ticket and ask who should take it. Give it the options, billing, technical, sales. It doesn't explain, doesn't ramble. Just the answer and how sure it is: technical, 85%. Which is why it's good at intent stuff. Computer use, support triage, spam comments, picking a model for a given task, sanity-checking what another model wrote. Fast and cheap. What it can't do: explain its reasoning (there isn't any), write prose (it doesn't write), and if none of the options is right it'll still pick one. It's whitelist-only right now. If you want in early, it's on OpenRouter. https://typesafe.ai
I stuffed an agent into an Android phone.
You've probably run into those short videos lately where an agent drives a phone around by itself. This one is called Mika, and it's a free open-source project. It's an Android app that works in the background through accessibility mode, so it can use pretty much any other app you have installed. Reply to someone on WeChat, scroll Xiaohongshu, drop something in a cart and check out. It finds the buttons by looking at the screen. There's no API to wire up, and it doesn't care what resolution your phone is. When it reaches a payment step or a captcha it stops and lets you finish. 🔗 github.com/wangzan101/Mika
My product went profitable, and something in me broke.
Someone on Xiaohongshu posted a while back that she sells phone keyboard skins she made with Codex. Eight, ten yuan a pack. Over a thousand a month. I've been at mine for months. October: a few hundred copies, $1,200 gross. Platform fee 30%, tax 10%, so 60% should have landed. It came to just over a thousand dollars. I still don't know how the math pulled that off. I have an overseas bank account. Once lost $500 to a wire transfer off one. I'd still tell you to take payout through WorldFirst: less hassle, lower fees. You can also get a Hong Kong USD credit card tied to it that spends your WorldFirst balance directly. Digital card is free. Physical is $4. Mainland purchases under ¥200 skip the processing fee, and right now there's 1% cashback.
