OpenAI launches new dev tool AgentKit

Presented by

☕ Good morning,

Sometimes the most interesting developments aren't the flashy product launches but the structural shifts that change who gets to build what.

When courts force platforms to allow external payments and rival app stores, or when new tools let anyone spin up AI agents without asking permission, the distribution of power changes in ways that ripple far beyond the immediate headlines.

_{—Here’s to the first sip.}

OpenAI launches AgentKit

OpenAI is turning ChatGPT into a full AI platform with two major launches AgentKit and apps inside ChatGPT.

AgentKit is a new toolkit for developers to build and deploy AI agents faster. It includes Agent Builder, a drag-and-drop tool for designing agent workflows, ChatKit for embedding chat interfaces into apps, and built-in testing tools to evaluate agent performance. Developers can also securely connect their agents to other systems through a connector registry.

At the same event, OpenAI introduced apps that live directly inside ChatGPT, letting users interact with services like Spotify, Figma, Coursera, and Zillow without leaving the chat. You can ask Spotify to make playlists, use Figma to turn sketches into wireframes, or browse apartments via Zillow all through conversation.

Together, these moves show OpenAI’s goal to make ChatGPT more than a chatbot. It’s becoming a platform where developers can build tools, users can run apps, and AI handles more of the heavy lifting behind the scenes.

Google ordered to open Play Store after Epic win

Google just lost another round in its legal battle with Epic Games, and this time the clock is ticking. The US Supreme Court has refused to pause the injunction against Google, meaning it now has just over two weeks until October 22, 2025, to start opening up Android and the Play Store to real competition.

Under the court order, Google must stop forcing developers to use Google Play Billing, allow links to external payment options, enable app downloads outside the Play Store, let developers set their own prices, and end exclusive deals with phone makers and carriers. It also has to work with Epic to design a system that lets rival app stores operate inside Google Play.

Epic CEO Tim Sweeney called the ruling a win for developers, saying they’ll soon be able to steer users to outside payments “without fees or friction.” Google, meanwhile, says it will comply with the order but warns the changes could threaten user safety.

The company still plans to appeal to the Supreme Court by October 27, but that’s after the compliance deadline.

Upcoming Honor Magic8 benchmark

Honor is getting ready to unveil its Magic8 series later this month, and a new Geekbench listing just revealed some details about the global version. The device, tagged as BKQ-N49, differs from the Chinese model seen earlier and posted scores of 3,563 (single-core) and 7,632 (multi-core), slightly lower, but likely because it’s still running pre-release software.

The benchmark confirms that the global Magic8 will pack Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, 12GB of RAM, and Android 16 with MagicOS 10 on top. With final software and optimizations still incoming, these early numbers hint that Honor’s next flagship will stay firmly in the premium performance bracket when it officially drops.

Teen founder launches Supermemory for AI

At just 19, Dhravya Shah is trying to solve one of AI’s toughest problems memory. Most AI models forget context between sessions, so Shah built Supermemory, a universal memory API that helps apps actually remember.

Born in Mumbai and now based in the US, Shah started building bots as a teen before launching Supermemory as a side project to chat with Twitter bookmarks. It has since evolved into a platform that extracts insights from unstructured data like files, emails, chats, and videos and builds a knowledge graph so AI apps can recall past context instantly.

Supermemory just raised $2.6 million in seed funding from Susa Ventures, Browder Capital, and top names from Cloudflare, Google, and DeepMind. The startup already powers tools like Cluely, Montra, and Scira, and even works with robotics companies to retain visual memory.

While others like Letta and Mem0 are chasing similar ideas, Shah believes Supermemory’s edge lies in its low latency and real-time recall, making it a key piece for the next generation of AI apps that don’t forget.
