Chronicles is basically what I open-sourced last week, is it even worth continuing?

A classic open-source versus corporate giant story is unfolding in the AI agent space. Developer Sandro Andric launched AgentHandover on GitHub just last week, an open-source tool designed to watch a user's screen and autonomously create reusable 'Skills' for AI agents. The project quickly gained community interest, with users collaborating on improvements. However, the landscape shifted dramatically when OpenAI introduced its new product, Chronicles, which is fundamentally based on the same core technical principle: observing on-screen activity to train and enhance AI agents.

This parallel development has placed Andric in a difficult position, sparking a public debate on the platform Reddit. He expressed a mix of resignation and frustration, noting that while he 'could see it coming,' he wished he 'could have been part of it somehow.' The central question for him and the community is whether there is value in continuing to develop AgentHandover now that a well-resourced competitor with a similar vision has entered the field. The situation highlights the precarious nature of innovating in fast-moving, foundational AI domains where large labs can rapidly integrate and productize concepts demonstrated in the open-source community.
