Happy Friday! in today's Leaderboard, we're diving into an AI that makes spending decisions for you, a Guitar Hero style app that teaches how to play music, and a tool that takes the pain out of creating Jira tickets. Let's dive in.
AI shopping spree
Walle: A proxy that lets AI agents make online payments for you.
Walle is an encrypted wallet for AI agents — a proxy that integrates into any headless browser and lets the agent make payments on your behalf (after getting your authorization). The app is still in beta, but it seems like a big step toward a future where we delegate most of our online (and IRL?) shopping to agents. There are a lot of great use cases here: you could tell your agent to track price fluctuations and buy plane tickets when they’re cheapest, or ask it to find, e.g., a set of Belgian linen sheets below $200 and save yourself a few hours of mindless scrolling. On the other hand, it's probably a lot easier to rack up credit card debt when your agent's doing the shopping...
One way to annoy your neighbors
Melodics Drums: A mobile app that teaches you how to play drums.Â
Melodics Drums reminds me of Guitar Hero but for drums and with more attention to education. It does a good job at teaching you some common beats, and timing but in my opinion it’s not going to replace an instructor — yet. A good instructor will catch even the slightest issues with form and timing and their visual feedback is pretty crucial if you want to be serious with your instrument. Where I can see Melodics shine is in the inbetween moments. It’s great at teaching songs, and could be a fantastic practice tool in between lessons.
A dev's best friend?
Skipper AI: Turn Slack conversations into Jira tickets.Â
Skipper AI is a handy utility. Slack is collaboration-central. Technical issues get reported on Slack (though we should probably use jam.dev). Meaty engineering discussions often take place on Slack and I usually rely on Slack Save for Later or Notion to keep track of threads that need to be followed-up or converted to engineering tickets. Skipper AI is a nice way to shortcut some of these processes. Looking forward to a Skipper AI Linear integration
Your agents stopped answering and started doing
Your agents call tools, write to databases and move money, so a wrong answer is now a wrong action, which is a considerably worse meeting. Arcjet runs policy before every LLM call, tool call, query and API request: prompt injection, sensitive data, bots, rate limits, spend quotas, and your own rules in Rego on top. It reads the OpenTelemetry you already emit, so switching it on is one environment variable, no code changes and nothing to deploy. Each check also reads the earlier steps in the same workflow, so an agent's tenth action gets judged against the first nine and not on its own. JavaScript, Python and Go SDKs all at 1.0, agent framework guards included, free tier to start on.
