Welcome to The Agent Roundup
There is a ton of stuff to do in the world.
people will
1) do a lot more than they could do before; ability and expectation will both go up
2) still care very much about other people and what they do
3) still be very driven by creating and being useful to others
for sure jobs will be very different, and maybe the jobs of the future will look like playing games to us today while still being very meaningful to those people of the future.
This week’s topics:
Amazon’s Kiro coding agent
ChatGPT Agent tool
AWS Bedrock AgentCore services
3 must-have plugins for vibe coding
How to run Gemma3n locally on phones
Plus AI investments, trending AI tools, community highlights, and more

💥 Breakthroughs
Amazon Launched Kiro, A New AI IDE Source: Kiro Kiro is introduced as a new agentic IDE that supports developers from the prototyping phase all the way to production. Its central strength lies in spec-driven development, helping developers move beyond basic prompting to build well-planned, maintainable applications. Kiro automates the generation of detailed requirements from simple prompts. | OpenAI Released ChatGPT Agent Source: OpenAI OpenAI has launched a new capability that allows ChatGPT to think and act autonomously, using its own virtual computer to complete tasks from start to finish. This agentic system combines the strengths of earlier features like Operator and deep research. It can navigate websites, filter results, log in securely, run code, conduct analysis, deliver spreadsheets, and more. | AWS Unveiled Bedrock AgentCore Via Reve / Agent Roundup This is a set of enterprise-grade services designed to help developers securely deploy and operate AI agents at scale. It addresses the challenges of moving AI agent prototypes to production by providing foundational infrastructure. Key components include a runtime, memory, secure access controls, web automation, monitoring, and more. |

3 Must-Have Plugins for Your Next Vibe Coding Project
Vibe coding thrives on rapid iteration and experimentation, but the wrong tools can turn your creative flow into a debugging nightmare.
These three plugins are game-changers for maintaining momentum while building with AI – whether you need version control for messy AI iterations, instant code reviews that catch what you missed, or visual feedback loops that bridge the gap between your UI and codebase.
YOYO
A VSCode plugin that creates an AI version control separate from your Git history – ideal for vibe coding and AI iterations.
You can save a snapshot of your code like a screenshot before AI breaks it. Preview and restore your snapshot at any time.
YOYO is lightweight and free to use. You can find it in your IDE’s extensions.
YOYO lists the created snapshots in the editor’s sidebar
Coderabbit
A VSCode plugin that delivers AI code reviews within your code editor, saving review time and catching more bugs.
It detects and fixes functional bugs, missed unit tests, security vulnerabilities, and more. The tool creates inline review comments with one-click fixes for simple issues and automated handoff to your AI agent for complex ones.
Coderabbit offers a free tier with limited reviews per day. You can install it via the extensions tab.

Stagewise
A VSCode plugin that offers visual vibe coding right in your codebase. It’s a browser toolbar that connects your frontend UI to your code AI agents in your editor.
You can select any element(s) in your web app and leave a comment on it. The AI knows exactly what part of the codebase needs to be changed.
Stagewise is free to use and can be installed from the extension store of your editor.
Stagewise lets you highlight elements of your UI, add comments, and send it to the agent
