Live coding and demonstration of open source AI and real agent workflows using Codex stream setup and DotAgents voice control

Original Description

Live with AJ from TechFren. Today we're digging into open source AI and real agent workflows: Codex stream setup, DotAgents voice control, Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, browser automation benchmarks, Playwright MCP, Wordle as a test harness, and a live Tailscale RTMP clipping pipeline. We move fast across GitHub projects, Codex issues, local model safety, agent control panels, voice agents, repo security checks, vector databases, and live clip infrastructure.
