Welcome to a new AI++! We're going to be packing this newsletter full of the best articles, tutorials, events and code for everything AI, agents and MCP.

🛠️ Building with AI, Agents & MCP

​Langflow Launches 1.5 with Support for Docling and Windows​

Rodrigo Nader

Langflow 1.5 brings a simplified, stable foundation for building AI workflows. With clean core components, improved execution, and a smoother UI, Langflow keeps evolving for real-world use. Langflow Desktop is now available for Windows, and the new Docling Bundle takes document processing to a new level.

​How to Create Secure AI Applications​

Tejas Kumar

You’ve built an impressive AI agent. It can query databases, call external APIs, and even process payments. But with every API call to a third-party LLM provider, you're potentially broadcasting sensitive data—API keys, PII, financial information—into a black box. Relying on the vendor's privacy policy is not a security strategy. It’s time to move beyond the default and engineer security into your AI applications from the ground up.

🧑‍💻 Code & Libraries

​Speed up audio files for quicker/cheaper transcripts​

​Gemma 3n released for on device inference. Available on huggingface and through all the tools you use to run models locally, including Ollama and transformers.js.

LlamaIndex published a Zoom assistant for real time note taking in Notion (explanatory blog post).

🗓️ Events

7/15/2025 - "The Flow" with TwelveLabs (online)

7/31/2025 - Hacking Agents SF Meetup (in-person)

🔦 Langflow Spotlight

Each newsletter we like to share a Langflow component that you can use to create your AI flows. New in Langflow 1.5 is the Docling component.

Docling simplifies document processing, parsing diverse formats — including advanced PDF understanding — and providing seamless integrations with Langflow and the other tools in the GenAI ecosystem.

🗞️ Other News

​Gemini CLI was released by Google. It's completely open source, so you can check out how they built it including the main system prompt.

Mistral AI just dropped Voxtral, their first open-source audio model family tailored for production-grade speech tasks - think ASR, TTS, or speech embedding pipelines - with the promise of enterprise readiness.

The last couple of weeks has seen the explosion of OpenClaw (née ClawdBot), developers around the world have finally found the agent that acts like the AI they've been promised. I'm personally a little concerned over the security and privacy aspects of letting a powerful agent run wild with an all access pass to your computer and all your data, but I am excited to see the experimentation. It's fun, and maybe a little silly, to see the growth of social media for agents, with Moltbook providing...

It seems I can't look at the internet without seeing talk of Ralph Wiggum or Gas Town. Developers are either running their coding agent in loops or strapping together many parallel coding agents. Coding agents are far and away the most successful agents out there right now, so I always think it's worth keeping an eye on. It's fun to see multiple sub-agents, roles, memory and coordination on one side and a loop on the other. This week in AI++ we have articles on building agent memory,...

Happy 2026! I hope your year has kicked off well and that you're looking forward to a year of building ever more impressive and successful agents. As we head into 2026 I'm looking forward to seeing how MCP continues to evolve under the Agentic AI Foundation, the blossoming of many AI-powered workflows, and how harnesses grow to help us build even better agents. What do you think will be the growth areas for the next few months? In this edition of AI++ we check in with some reviews of 2025,...
