- [aaif-goose/goose](https://seerepo.com/r/aaif-goose/goose): an open source, extensible AI agent that goes beyond code suggestions - install, execute, edit, and test with any LLM
- [windmill-labs/windmill](https://seerepo.com/r/windmill-labs/windmill): Code-first platform for workflows, apps and AI agents, on the fastest self-hostable orchestrator (benchmarked against Airflow, Prefect and Temporal). Business teams build with AI, engineers control what ships. Open-source alternative to Lovable, Retool and n8n.
