"We propose a new way of seeing agents: the agent is the durable stream. Everything else is a projection." Agents don’t live in a sandbox or your machine. Agents are data, agents are addressable and everyone can run compute on the agent data.

Introducing Electric Agents! Agents are not compute. Agents are data. Multi-agent is a sync problem. Electric Agents is the first agent platform built on sync. Use it to build scalable, collaborative, long-lived multi-agent systems: 🧵👇

Agentic AI, beneath all the hype, is actually just normal software. You can build agentic systems with a database, standard web tooling and real-time sync.

PGlite (WASM Postgres) now gets over 1 million downloads a week! 🤯🚀 Absolutely incredible to see how people have embraced what we have built. Awesome work by the team!

When you're vibe-coding, you don't want to think about infra. You want to stay in the zone, iterating and expressing yourself. That means having a database inside your sandbox. No glue, no friction, no external services, no free-tier limits. Forkable, disposable, unlimited and zero cost.

🧵 More play less infra => vibe coding with the database inside the sandbox. Apps built with AI app builders like @bolt.new usually need to connect to a database to actually work. With @pglite.dev you can have the database inside the sandbox, so you can vibe code without even thinking about infra.

Sync allows building APIs with minimal contracts. Why does it matter? As AI accelerates software development beyond human speed, your APIs must evolve in seconds, not days. Only sync engines give you that flexibility. We've recently launched Electric Cloud BETA. It's never been easier to try sync.

📣 Electric Cloud is in public BETA! It takes just 30 seconds to add your Postgres db and start syncing to millions. Head over to dashboard.electric-sql.cloud to start syncing.

Had a great time last night. - Many familiar faces, but a lot more newcomers - people are exploring local first tech to solve problems they have - with interests ranging low-level optimizations, to high-performance state management, this is a very rich and diverse community!

Looking forward for the 2nd local-first meetup in Berlin tonight. We have fantastic talks lined up including the authors of Yjs, ElectricSQL and Jazz. Due to the surprising demand, we've upgraded the venue to provide extra space for additional guests. lu.ma/sq5hpu2x
