Fabric
Fabric is an open-source framework for augmenting humans using AI. It provides a modular system for solving specific problems using a crowdsourced set of AI prompts that can be used anywhere.
I don't use Fabric as much anymore. I still have it, but I generally just find using Claude Desktop is good enough.

Oh, also, I frikken love Toad. It's a "unified interface for AI in your terminal". Built on Textualize and utilising Agent Client Protocol it provides a UI over multiple coding agents, which is great, since I don't just use the one. You do lose some features in something like Claude Code, because they don't expose everything over ACP, so it does depend on the specific use case, but I highly recommend checking it out.

zed
Code at the speed of thought – Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor from the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter.
That said, sometimes you do just want an editor, not a full blown IDE, and for that for the last few months I've been experimenting with Zed. It's okay. I've had some weird issues with their terminal emulator; I don't know what they are doing but my ZSH config doesn't load right so it sometimes gets stuck in what looks like an infinite loop, and then my PATH is all messed up... IDK, I expect my editors to kinda just work, but overall, I like the look and feel and for when I just need to edit a file, it's fine.

n8n
n8n is a workflow automation platform for building AI-powered workflows and agents, connecting any AI model to any business system with full control over data, security, and deployment. Build visually or in code while n8n handles infrastructure from prototype to production with fully auditable executions.
I am keen on trying Hermes though, maybe, it looks promising and much more secure. For now though, Claude Cowork is doing most of what I want, and my custom self-hosted n8n setup locally is doing the rest.

cmux
Open source Ghostty-based macOS terminal with vertical tabs and notifications for AI coding agents. Built for multitasking, organization, and programmability.
Warp is still my terminal of choice. It's awesome. Their Oz Agent Platform is amazing. I've tried cmux, it sucks, just use Warp, seriously. Anyone who raves about cmux just hasn't tried Warp yet. I went through a phase where I didn't pay for Warp anymore, but this is coming to an end, they just give you so much, and if you want to use BYOK (Bring Your Own Key), you gotta pay for at least the lowest tier.

I've been experimenting with various agent orchestration frameworks, but as I mentioned before about CAST, the main issue I'm finding is that the tools don't really cater for the use cases of the more complex systems I work on, and many of them are very limited in the tools you can use and the agents you can run. The problem I'm trying to solve is a lot more broad and open, which also means progress is slow, but I dogfood my own ideas for building the things I want to build. The closest I've found to CAST is Factory.ai and Aparent, which I'm keeping a close eye on and also playing around with. Both worth looking at.
