Presented by Zapier: https://zapier.com/
Andrew Warner and Adam break down trending GitHub repositories and open-source AI tools of the week. From AI coding agents and security plugins to local voice cloning and shared memory systems, discover the projects developers are watching.

They explore REA, a tool for recreating software features, and debate when inspiration becomes code theft. They also cover Claude's official security plugins, Ruflo's multi-agent coding teams, Android's official AI skills, scientific research skills, and OpenCode's open-source coding environment.

Plus, see how CLI-Anything gives AI agents access to desktop apps, Cursor plugins extend coding workflows, and AI Memory helps agents share context across models and devices. The episode also features Mailcheap, an open-source newsletter alternative; CleanYourTV for customizing smart TVs; and Hypeit for recreating viral video formats.

In the community showcase, Andrew and Adam highlight viewer-built projects, explore smarter AI model routing, and explain how secure containers help protect your computer and sensitive files.
