Hi all,Rendi is a full agent harness that runs background jobs, schedules, a real browser, and email without you needing to spin up a virtual machine. I built it for the ClickHouse and Trigger.dev hackathon but honestly super excited on how it came out.If you look at my github I have been working on deploying agents for a decent time now but mainly by spinning up VMs on Hetzner or AWS. The one thing I still wasn't able to crack was how to make these agents per tenant yourself without buying a huge bare metal machine to create micro VMs or use third party VM providers, but I think with Trigger.dev and this work on Rendi I can easily provision these agents per tenant without having to deal with all things VMs and also cost is so low.I also spent a lot of time on the UI and the component library. I literally came up with a brand for my project before starting it up hehe. I have also been thinking a lot more towards accessible UIs specially since it makes an agents life a lot easier when browsing or testing your application so everything has Storybook stories, and accessibility violations fail CI. Please give that side a look too.
