Explore Agentic AI with Free Interactive Curriculum on AgentSwarms
Hey Everyone, Over the last few months, I noticed a massive gap in how we learn about Agentic AI. There are a million theoretical blog posts and dense whitepapers on RAG, tool calling, and swarms, but almost nowhere to just sit down, run an agent, break it, and see how the prompt and tools interact under the hood. So, I built **AgentSwarms**.fyi It’s a free, interactive curriculum for Agentic AI. Instead of just reading, you run live agents alongside the lessons. **What it covers:** * Prompt engineering & system messages (seeing how temperature and persona change behavior). * RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) vs. Fine-tuning. * Tool / Function Calling (OpenAI schemas, MCP servers). * Guardrails & HITL (Human-in-the-Loop) for safe deployments. * Multi-Agent Swarms (orchestrators vs. peer-to-peer handoffs). **The Tech/Setup:** You don't need to install anything or provide API keys to start. The "Learn Mode" is completely free and sandboxed. If you want to mess around with your own models, there's a "Build Mode" where you can plug in your own keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, local models, etc.). I’d love for this community to tear it apart. What agent patterns am I missing? Is the observability dashboard actually useful for debugging your traces? Let me know what you think.

Community-Driven Ratings for 120+ AI Coding Tools on Tolop
a few weeks ago I posted about building a library that tracks 120+ AI coding tools by how long their free tier actually lasts. the response was good but the most common feedback was "your scores are subjective." fair point. so I rebuilt the rating system. you can now sign in with Google and vote on any tool directly. the scores update in real time based on actual user votes, not just my personal assessment. if you think I rated something wrong, you can now do something about it instead of just commenting. also shipped dark mode because apparently I was the only person who thought the default looked fine. **what Tolop actually is if you're new:** every AI tool claims to be free. most aren't, or at least not for long. Tolop tracks the real limits: how many completions, how many requests, how long until you hit the wall under light use vs heavy use vs agentic sessions. it also flags the tools where "free" means you're still paying Anthropic or OpenAI through your own API key. 120+ tools across coding assistants, browser builders, CLI agents, frameworks, self-hosted tools, local models, and a new niche tools category for single-purpose utilities that don't fit anywhere else. **a few things the data shows that I found genuinely interesting:** * Gemini Code Assist offers 180,000 free completions per month. GitHub Copilot Free offers 2,000. same category, 90x difference * several of the most popular tools (Cline, Aider, Continue) are free to install but require paid API keys, so "free" is misleading * self-hosted tools have by far the most generous free tiers because the cost is on your hardware, not a server would genuinely appreciate votes on tools you've actually used, the more real usage data behind the scores, the more useful the ratings get for everyone.
