Introducing Shortcut — the first superhuman Excel agent.
Shortcut one-shots most knowledge work tasks on Excel.
It even scores >80% on Excel World Championship Cases in ~10 minutes. That's 10x faster than humans.

We open-sourced our Minecraft Agents through our official MCP Server.
Our agents can build just about anything.
I asked our agents in @fairies_agent to build a Starship, the Statue of Liberty, and a drawing of Elon vs Trump.

3. To keep agents in sync, PIANO uses a Cognitive Controller (CC) that acts as the “brain” of the agent.
This controller channels key information to relevant modules, helping agents keep consistent behaviors and ensuring that all actions and messages align.

Can AI agents develop their own culture?
We observed organic spread of memes & tracked how agents primed with a fictional religion (Pastafarianism!) spread through agent societies. Rural areas showed different cultural patterns vs towns:

Can AI agents develop & modify their own laws?
We tested this by implementing a tax system. They not only followed tax laws but also democratically voted to change rates based on public sentiment!
