AI Agents Directory
The most comprehensive directory of 2,800+ AI agents across
Six weeks ago I was manually updating an AI agents directory. This week it writes its own news coverage every morning before I wake up. Here's the stack — entirely free to run:
Bot 1 (6am): Python script pulls the top AI stories from Hacker News Algolia API, Reddit's public JSON endpoint, and GitHub
Trending. No API keys. Clusters them by topic, scores by engagement, saves a structured JSON of the top 5 trends.
Bot 2 (8:30am): Reads that JSON, then calls claude --print as a subprocess. That's the Claude Code CLI running
non-interactively — it uses your existing subscription auth, no separate API key or billing. Writes a 1,200-word article per
topic, validates it against quality rules (word count, H2 count, citation count, blockquotes), and if it passes, commits it to
GitHub and deploys to Cloudflare Pages automatically. Total cost: $0. The only spend is the Claude Code subscription I already had. The quality bar is enforced before anything touches the filesystem — articles that don't meet the standard get retried once, then skipped. No substandard content gets published.
The site is [AI Agents Directory](https://aiagentautomation.site) — 2,800+ AI agents across 305 categories. I built it because
every "top AI tools" list I found in 2024 was either 18 months out of date or a disguised affiliate farm. The daily briefs came
later as a way to keep the content fresh without hiring writers. Happy to share the full script if anyone's interested. Has anyone else used the Claude Code CLI (`claude --print`) for automation?
Curious what use cases people have found for it.
