Cross-platform research

Type any topic and it searches Reddit, X, YouTube, HN, and Polymarket in parallel — then hands you one brief ranked by what real people actually engaged with.

Why it's trending

An AI agent skill that treats upvotes, likes, and Polymarket odds as the ranking signal instead of SEO. The v3 engine resolves who matters first, then fans out across a dozen walled-garden platforms and lets an AI judge synthesize. It hit #1 on GitHub Trending.

Highlights
  • Zero-config sources

    Reddit, Hacker News, Polymarket, and GitHub work the moment you install — no keys.

  • Bring your own keys

    Log into x.com, install yt-dlp, or add a ScrapeCreators key to unlock X, YouTube, TikTok, and more.

  • Intelligent pre-research

    Resolves the right handles, subreddits, and hashtags before a single API call fires.

  • Best Takes

    A second judge scores every result for humor and virality, surfacing the cleverest one-liners.

Token compression

Compress tool outputs, logs, files, and RAG chunks before they hit the model — 60–95% fewer tokens, same answers.

Why it's trending

Agent context windows fill up fast with verbose tool output, logs, and retrieved chunks. Headroom sits in front of the LLM and squeezes that payload by 60–95% while preserving the answer. Ships as a library, a proxy, and an MCP server.

Highlights
  • Three surfaces

    Drop-in library, transparent proxy, or MCP server — wire it in however your stack works.

  • Built for noisy payloads

    Targets the output that blows up agent context — command output, stack traces, logs.

  • RAG chunk compression

    Shrinks retrieved chunks before they reach the model, leaving room for more context.

  • Same answers

    Tuned to cut tokens without changing what the model returns.

Open-source NotebookLM

An open-source take on NotebookLM you can self-host — more flexibility, more features, your choice of models.

Why it's trending

Google's NotebookLM is great until you want your own models, your own data boundaries, or features Google doesn't ship. Open Notebook is the open-source implementation — bring your own LLM, organize sources into notebooks, and generate grounded notes and audio overviews on your terms.

Internet eyes for agents

One CLI that lets your agent read and search Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, GitHub, Bilibili, and XiaoHongShu — zero API fees.
