AI agents can build almost anything now. How can you tell if their work is any good? @IBM’s Tejas Kumar closes Run by Apify with a keynote on agentic taste and a demo of agents checking their output against live web data. Catch Tejas in SF on Nov 10 →

The new Apify CLI is more secure, especially in sandboxes. Run apify login, approve a one-time code in Apify Console, and that’s it. Your token stays out of chat, and your shell history, so there is nothing to leak. Full changelog:

SF tech events on my radar 👀 Nov 4: AI Startup Showcase. Founder demos plus an investor panel. Nov 10: Run by @apify at The Pearl. Live demos, not slideware. Nov 13: Women in AI Pitch Competition. 6 founders, 5 min each. Watching from Amsterdam. Which one are you going to?

Most n8n templates get built without checking what already has traction. New Actor: n8n template scraper. Search by keyword and category; get views, recent views, and nodes used. Try it: #n8n#

When we hosted our first meetup in San Francisco last spring, we had no idea how many people would show up. So we booked the back room of a small pub in Hayes Valley. It was packed. Dozens of meetups, hackathons, and parties later, it's time for a slightly bigger room 🙂 On Tuesday November 10, we're hosting Run by Apify, our first flagship conference in San Francisco, at The Pearl SF - a beautiful former boiler factory in Dogpatch. We’re bringing together the @Apify team, customers, Actor creators, and friends from Temporal, OpenAI, Stripe, WorkOS, and other companies for a single-track day of talks and live demos on how to put the web to work. We’ll get into how AI agents find useful data, discover tools, pay for them, and actually get things done. We’re keeping it to 300 people, with plenty of time for proper conversations. And of course, we’ll finish with a rooftop afterparty 🌇🎵 Come join us! Details and tickets below. See you in two weeks!

Telling AI to write “witty” or “professional” doesn’t work - it just guesses. @AiHomegirl pulled every YouTube transcript with Apify, built a RAG from her own content and engagement data. Now the AI writes from how she actually talks.

Jan Beránek's previous company launched 120+ ventures with enterprise partners. Now he runs @fifthrow_of, an agentic consultancy whose research is never out of date. Catch him at Run by Apify on Nov 10 in SF. Get your ticket →

Ask an agent for AI events in SF, and it googles. Give it Apify MCP, and it finds the right Actor, sets the city, dates, and keyword, and comes back with real events. @svpino shows the difference in under 7 minutes 👇
