I'm Julian Paul, and I track tools as they move from Waitlist → Alpha → Beta → Launched, so you catch the products that matter early.

Trylle by @stylessh | Listing

Trylle removes the boundaries between cloud agents and production. Coding agents run inside the same system that owns your source, permissions, CI, and review, so every change lands as a reviewable, attributable pull request. Automations trigger on repository events; Magic Sessions run long-horizon tasks your team can steer. Two-way GitHub Sync means you keep GitHub while you adopt it, your existing Actions workflows run unchanged, and agent runs bill AI usage only. Free includes $15 CI and $10 AI credit monthly.
