What changed, why it matters for your work, and what you can try this week.·Page 2 of 2
StableGen, an open-source free Blender add-on, chains together generation models, texturing, rigging, and export into one pipeline. Results can still be edited and given animations, and exported to Godot, Unreal, and Unity. v0.5.0 configures ComfyUI directly inside Blender. Covers features, hardware requirements, and commercial license considerations.
DSH getting more expensive the longer you use it, forgetting everything when you switch sessions, not being able to see images, clunky web search, and not knowing which plugin to install? Five community projects, dsh-context, MemOS, ModLens, ModSearch, and awesome-dsh-plugin, each tackle one of these, along with what to check before installing.
Cursor launched Voice Chat on November 6: live voice calls with an Agent in the IDE, Agents window, web, and iPhone. Dictate tasks to the coding Agent and hear brief progress updates while it works. On iPhone, say "Hey Siri, call Cursor" to start a call. Powered by Grok Voice; no data is retained in Privacy Mode.
OpenAI released Images 2.6 on November 4: from one sentence or one photo in ChatGPT you can generate animated GIFs, and export infinitely scalable, editable SVG vector files, about 50% faster. Useful for memes, icons, print materials and short video assets; SVG currently has limits: one image at a time, and text-only generation.
Hermes Agent, an open-source project from Nous Research, is the same kind of product as OpenClaw but works quite differently: it creates skills on its own from conversations, improves them as it's used, remembers you across sessions, and can dispatch sub-agents to work in parallel. In our testing it ran alongside OpenClaw and could revive it when something broke. MIT licensed.
Every major model provider now lets a model call functions you define. What that means for a workflow you run at work, and the one setting to check in your tool.
MCP is a standard way for Agents to plug into tools and data. Here is what it changes for someone who uses workflow tools rather than builds them, and why it is on our roadmap.
Price changes on models and workflow tools arrive every few months. A short routine for finding out what it does to your daily workflows before the invoice does.
