Yasser Elsaid built Chatbase on his own after ChatGPT came out in late 2022, and has never raised venture money. It reached $8 million in yearly revenue with a team of 18, eleven of them engineers. Backstage is the part you talk to: you ask the support agent what is driving tickets and change how it answers, in plain English, from Slack, iMessage or the Chatbase dashboard.

Announcing @Chatbase Backstage: a control center for managing your AI customer support agent.
Talk to your agent like a teammate to understand what's driving support tickets, update how it responds, deploy new Procedures, and manage workflows in plain English.
Backstage is available on iMessage, Slack, and the Chatbase dashboard, so you can manage your customer experience from wherever you work.
Shengkun Ye co-founded Monid in San Francisco with Feiyou Guo, after working at Founders Inc, TabaPay and WeChat. OpenRouter gives a developer one account and one key across every AI model; Monid is that for the tools an agent calls rather than the models it thinks with. Its registry lists over 1,700 tools from 55 providers, and an agent asks what is available for a job, picks by fit and price, runs it with no sign-up, and is billed about a tenth of a cent for that one call, out of a single balance. Monid is not new today: it launched in April 2026 and again as 2.0 in May. What this post adds is the raise and the 4 million calls.

We just killed…everything.
Introducing Monid, the OpenRouter for agent tools.
Today we crossed 4M agent transactions. And raised a $2.1M pre-seed to kill every subscription in the world.
Your agents can now:
> discover, run, and pay for tools at runtime
> one connection to 1,800 APIs: SEO, leads, search, ecommerce, stocks, video/image/music/3D gen, private company data
> all pay per call, 0 subscriptions
Mark Zuckerberg co-founded Facebook, now Meta, and is its chief executive. Muse Code is Meta's coding agent, worked from the terminal and built on Muse Spark 1.2, a coding model trained alongside the agent rather than wrapped around a general one. It keeps a repository of thousands of files in a 1M-token context window, splits a large job across sub-agents that each work in their own git worktree so parallel edits do not collide, and prints every sub-agent, tool call, steer and cancel to an event log. Muse Code is not new today: it opened in early beta on 5 August 2026, priced from $5 a month with $15 and $50 tiers above it, and a cheaper contributor tier in some countries in return for Meta training on your prompts and completions. What this post adds is that the beta is over.

Muse Code is out of beta and now built to handle bigger, more complex engineering tasks. Developers can get started with one command today:

Eldad Fux started Appwrite as a side project in 2019. Appwrite calls itself the open-source cloud for agents and devs; it has 57,000 stars on GitHub and raised a $10 million seed led by Bessemer and Flybridge. The turn in 2.0 is that a platform built on its own abstraction now hands you the engine underneath: native PostgreSQL and MySQL that answer to psql and the mysql client, alongside a schemaless DocumentsDB and a VectorsDB for embeddings. Appwrite's own phrase for it is to give the raw engine when the abstraction is wrong. Every feature goes live on Appwrite Cloud during their Init week, and the self-hosted Community Edition follows when the week ends, with Domains and Firewall staying Cloud-only.
