  "account": "Amazon Web Services (AWS) has released a new open-source application called Pizza Bot, which provides developers with an email-style inbox for managing AI agents that run in the background. The purpose of Pizza Bot is to address the issue that a chat interface is not suitable for agents that continue working even when their human users are not available. The application uses email mechanics to present completed jobs as unread threads, while any task requiring human intervention is surfaced for action via an Activity panel. Scheduled agents run autonomously in the background and deliver updates directly into the user's inbox for review and triage. The developers behind Pizza Bot emphasize that the interface assumes the user is not watching, allowing scheduled agents to operate without constant human supervision. Pizza Bot is a standalone desktop application available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, as well as browser and terminal clients. It can be extended with MCP servers and Agent Skills, and supports various AI models from Anthropic, Amazon Bedrock, Google Gemini, OpenAI, OpenRouter, or local models via Ollama. The agent runtime is built with DeepAgents, LangChain's open-source harness for long-running agent tasks, which runs on LangGraph for stateful agent execution. LangGraph checkpoints an agent's state as it works, allowing paused runs to survive disconnected clients and resume later without starting over.",
