Five agents worth your time — Issue #1
Devin ships PRs unattended, Cursor v2 lands, ElevenLabs cuts API pricing, and the 3 deals we'd grab this week.
This is our first issue. Welcome to the index.
Every Tuesday morning we send five agents worth your time, three tools trending in our index, one stack we'd actually use, and the deals worth grabbing. No hype. If a week is quiet, we skip it.
In one line
Devin keeps quietly shipping while everyone watches Cursor v2, ElevenLabs is now cheaper than what you're already paying, and there are three deals worth your attention.
5 agents worth your time
- Devin — the autonomous engineer that ships PRs end-to-end. Crossed an internal benchmark this week (PRs accepted on first review at >70% in greenfield work). Still struggles on legacy codebases with implicit conventions.
- Cursor Agent — v2 shipped with multi-file edits that genuinely work. The closest thing to "pair programming" feel we've used.
- Manus — general-purpose browser agent that's finally usable for research tasks. Output is structured well enough to drop into a doc.
- Claude Code — Anthropic's CLI agent. Best-in-class at understanding the codebase before changing it. Trades raw speed for accuracy.
- Lindy — meeting + email automation that's worth setting up if you live in Gmail.
3 trending tools
What our readers actually clicked this week — sourced from real /go-tool data, not vibes.
- ElevenLabs — still the voice quality leader, and the API just dropped 15% across the board.
- Midjourney — v8 alpha rolling out; if you're on Standard tier, log in to get early access.
- HeyGen — corporate avatar video crossed a usability threshold. Worth a re-evaluation if you bounced on it 6 months ago.
1 stack: the "solo engineer" combo
For a developer working alone on side projects:
- Cursor Agent for the editor
- Claude Code for the CLI work
- Devin for unattended overnight jobs
- ElevenLabs for the demo videos
Total: ~$70/month. Replaces a junior dev's worth of grunt work.
