The kind of bagel that ruins lesser bagels for you.
Summary
Agent is an open-source macOS application that provides AI-powered automation and control of Mac systems. It integrates with 17 different LLM providers including Claude, GPT, Gemini, Ollama, and Apple Intelligence, enabling users to automate tasks like code writing, Xcode building, git management, Safari automation, and app control via Accessibility features. The latest version introduces Apple Intelligence as a tool-calling agent for on-device UI automation, SDEF + runtime app discovery for zero-hardcoded bundle ID resolution, and iPhone task execution via iMessage. The project is open source with no subscription fees, and the founder is battling cancer.
