Microsoft Scout Joins Your Teams Chats and Acts on Its Own
Microsoft used Build 2026 to introduce Scout, a personal work agent that does something its Copilot features mostly don’t: it acts without being asked.

Claude Artifact Player Runs Claude Artifacts Locally on Mac
Claude’s Artifacts are handy while they live inside the chat, but the moment you want to save one, reopen it later, or show it like a real app, the flow gets awkward. Claude Artifact Player, a new Mac utility, fixes that by running those artifacts directly on your machine. ## What Claude Artifact Player does… Continue reading

Mina Meeting Assistant Talks and Works During Your Calls
Most AI meeting tools sit quietly and hand you notes afterward. Mina Meeting Assistant, which launched its 1.0 at the top of Product Hunt, is built to do the opposite — it participates while the call is still happening. Mina can speak during a meeting, pull context from your other tools, generate outputs, and push… Continue reading

Lathe uses LLMs to teach you a new domain instead of doing the work for you
Most AI tools race to do the task for you. Lathe, a fresh Show HN project, is built on the opposite premise: use an LLM to actually teach you a technical topic, not skip past the learning. ## How it works You name a domain you want to learn, and Lathe generates a hands-on, source-backed… Continue reading

Dreambeans, a new Google Labs experiment, is an anti-feed. Instead of an endless scroll, it assembles a small, finite set of personalized “stories” each morning from your own Google data — then stops. ## How it works With permission, it uses Google’s Personal Intelligence to pull from Gmail, Calendar, Photos, YouTube, and Search history, and… Continue reading

Extella chains specialized AI agents into one pipeline with memory that compounds
Extella is an AI execution platform built around one idea: connect specialized agents into a single pipeline and let the system get smarter the more you use it. No glue code, no tool sprawl — words in, results out. ## The dynamic system prompt Its standout claim is a “dynamic system prompt.” Instead of static… Continue reading

LocalClicky runs a voice assistant entirely on your Mac with no cloud and no API keys
LocalClicky is a Mac menubar app that lets you talk to your computer and have it actually do things — with nothing leaving the machine. Say “Computer” to start a session, chain commands back to back, and say “goodbye” when you’re done. ## Fully local by design The pitch is a privacy inversion. Most voice… Continue reading

Curata is a shared workspace where AI agents and humans build a knowledge base together
Most agent tools treat humans as supervisors and agents as workers. Curata, a new Product Hunt launch, makes both first-class: it’s an AI-native knowledge base where agents and people build documentation together. ## What it does Agents write structured pages straight from your live data — CRM, support tickets, call transcripts, Slack. Your team reviews… Continue reading

Perplexity Personal Computer lands on Windows with hybrid on-device and cloud routing
Perplexity is putting an always-on agent straight onto the Windows desktop. You hand it a goal — “build an interactive guide on whales,” “clean up this spreadsheet” — and it decides which apps to open, which files to touch, and how to finish the job across Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Outlook, and OneDrive. ## What it… Continue reading
