Ask HN: What cool stuff have you all been using Fable 5 for?

Testing my "executive coaching" system. Fable is more proactive than 4.8. It does things I did not ask, has more opinions. And read a separate Obsidian vault because it thought I want it to. That was odd.

You are using Fable as an executive coach for you? I’d be curious to learn more.

Building a small webapp to live on my home server to manage my history/science/philosophy/general knowledge podcasts. And then have it connect to sonos to create my own talk radio. Scheduling to auto-play whenever I want, usually 8am M-F. Play a news podcast first thing in the morning, then defer to others.

Paired with that, a MacOS app that detects when I'm on a zoom or google meet call to auto-pause the sonos, then unpause when the call ends.

I'm building a meta-framework for LangGraph similar to eve and flue that uses file-based routing, tools, etc. Building developer tooling using agents in the past with codex and opus has been limited, especially with regards to strong typing and DX. Fable 5 is changing this for me.
