Hey there!!

Welcome to the new blog

This blog is about some cool and trending open-source projects that really grab my attention, and a few of them I would love to share below

Paperclip

The AI employee agents repository that helps to create your entire AI employee company, assign, schedule and manage tasks and let the AI agent do the job for you.

Lightpanda

Lightpanda is the AI-native web browser built using Zig for AI agents, the alternative to Puppeteer and Playwright, but it works with them as well, with 10x less memory and 10x faster than the Chrome browser.

For our new product, inkgest.com, we are using Puppeteer for web scraping to create our own scraping infrastructure using Chrome browser to scrape content from a URL, but Lightpanda seems to be 10x cheaper and faster and AI-native, so it might be a good choice for your next scraping tasks in 2026.

PageAgent

Alibaba's new open-source project is promising, enabling AI to operate your web page in plain language. PageAgent scrapes the DOM from the web page and uses AI to perform tasks or operate the webpage.

It's quite useful to fill the form, scrapes the content, for example or URLs, images, external links, hyperlinks, etc., and does all boring tasks using plain english.

I use a lot of Chrome extension tools to scrape and download content from a webpage in Chrome, but using PageAgent, one can do the tasks using plain english.

PageAgent works without the Chrome browser, headless Chrome, and works much faster with 10+ LLMs and providers.

Liteparse

Open-source liteparse module that helps parse documents.

LiteParse is a standalone OSS PDF parsing tool focused exclusively on fast and light parsing. It provides high-quality spatial text parsing with bounding boxes, without proprietary LLM features or cloud dependencies. Everything runs locally on your machine.

5 CRM templates for your next CRM projects. Last week, I launched 5 CRM templates for Businesses in the SaaS, Health, Medical, and Energy sectors/domains to help them launch their CRM systems and run their businesses. Each template is built using Nextjs, React and Tailwind CSS, helping you save 50+ hours of development time.
