What is Agent! and what does it do?

A 100% native Swift and SwiftUI macOS app that runs an autonomous task loop: it reads your codebase, fixes bugs, builds Xcode projects, drives any Mac app through the Accessibility API, runs shell commands as you or root, and texts results over iMessage.

Which AI providers does Agent! support?

The README lists 23 providers, including Claude, Codex, OpenAI, Gemini, Grok, Mistral, DeepSeek, Qwen, MiniMax, OpenRouter, Ollama, vLLM, and LM Studio, plus on-device Apple Intelligence, with a spoken hello-word name wake phrase.

What is the Jev guard in Agent!?

The GitHub description names an on-device Apple Intelligence and Jev guard among its features. The digest README does not explain how the guard works, so treat it as a listed capability rather than a documented integration.

How do I install Agent!?

Download the signed and notarized .dmg or .zip from GitHub Releases, or run brew update && brew install --cask agentiloop-agent. Signed binaries keep the Launch Agent and Launch Daemon registered; source builds are only for hacking on the app and are ad-hoc signed.

What does Agent! cost?

The README says there is no subscription, no Electron, and no telemetry: bring your own API key, run fully local, or run free on Apple Intelligence. It also suggests GLM-5.3 via Z.ai as a cheap paid setup at pennies per million tokens.

What are the system requirements?

macOS 14.6 or later on Apple Silicon or Intel, built with Swift 6.4. Running locally, the README notes only GLM-4.7-Turbo (32B) fits consumer hardware with 64-128GB Apple Silicon via Ollama, and source builds need Xcode or Command Line Tools.

Who builds Agent!, and is the source open?

AgentiLoop publishes the app, and the repository includes full source plus build scripts; GitHub reports the licence as NOASSERTION rather than a named licence. The README also announces an AgentiLoop CLI in Rust and Go as separate downloads with the same capabilities.

Watch out

Copy reviewed against the truncated README on 2026-10-15. Most claims are the project's own, including the 23 providers, the Jev guard, and the top-mac-agentic-coding-tool topic; the digest shows no benchmarks or pricing and the GitHub licence reads NOASSERTION, so treat the copy as marketing until verified.

Jev at home: voice pipelines, Assist routing, and sentinels

Oct 16, 2026

How Home Assistant conversation agents, macOS voice pipelines, and an advisory sentinel put a fast typed decision in the loop — one call per utterance, thresholds in code, and a daily token budget.

Jev-based SEO tools split the crawl from the call: deterministic crawlers count and parse, while typed judgments rank fixes, place internal links, score search results, and track AI-answer mentions — with costs and caveats attached.

Jev on the Gateways: Vercel, Workers AI, and OpenRouter

Oct 12, 2026

The request shape barely changes across surfaces; the surrounding contract does. When to call the API directly and when a gateway, a Worker binding, or a router entry earns its extra hop.
