What is xpander.ai?

xpander.ai is a platform for building, testing, and deploying AI agents. It provides:

  • AgentOS for Kubernetes - Hardened runtime managing containers, tasks, state, and observability
  • Agent Builder Workbench - Low-code environment for assembling and testing agents
  • Agent Connectivity Hub - SDKs, webhooks, and integrations with built-in guardrails
  • One API - Unified API for invoking, configuring, and monitoring agents

Real-World Example: GitHub Trending Monitor

xpander.ai built an agent that monitors GitHub's trending page every morning. Here's why it needs to be an agent:

  1. Classification - Categorizing repos (AI Infra, AI Coding, Voice AI, etc.) for easier consumption
  2. Enrichment - Adding context like issues and open PRs for each repo
  3. Research - Finding press releases or announcements about trending repos
  4. Memory - Tracking seen repos to avoid duplicates across runs

The agent uses these tools:

  • Quercle - Web fetch API to scrape GitHub's trending page (no official API exists)
  • GitHub MCP - To enrich results with repo details
  • Email tool - Daily delivery to inbox
  • Memory tool - To track history and avoid repeats

All configured in xpander.ai's Agent Builder in under an hour.

Why This Integration Matters

The Problem

GitHub's trending page is a goldmine for discovering new projects, but:

  • There's no official API for trending repos
  • The page is dynamic and changes frequently
  • Manual monitoring is tedious and easy to forget

The Solution

By combining xpander.ai's agent orchestration with Quercle's web fetch API:

  1. Quercle fetches the trending page and extracts structured data about repos
  2. xpander.ai orchestrates the workflow - scheduling, memory, multi-tool coordination
  3. The agent classifies and enriches each repo with additional context
  4. Results are delivered via email, Slack, or any integration

Building Your Own Agent

Here's how Quercle fits into an xpander.ai agent:

1. Web Fetch Tool

Use Quercle to fetch and analyze web pages:

{
  "url": "https://github.com/trending",
  "prompt": "Extract all trending repositories. For each, provide: name, description, language, stars today, and total stars."
}

2. Search Tool

Use Quercle to find additional context:

{
  "query": "LangChain vs CrewAI comparison 2025",
  "allowed_domains": ["*.dev", "*.io", "medium.com"]
}

3. Combine with xpander.ai

In xpander.ai's Agent Builder:

  1. Add Quercle as a tool (web fetch + search)
  2. Add GitHub MCP for repo enrichment
  3. Add email/Slack for notifications
  4. Enable memory to track seen repos
  5. Schedule daily execution

Use Cases

With Quercle + xpander.ai, you can build agents for:

  • Tech Research - Monitor trends, track competitors, summarize news
  • Market Intelligence - Track pricing changes, new product launches
  • Content Curation - Aggregate and classify content from multiple sources
  • Compliance Monitoring - Track regulatory updates and changes
  • Lead Generation - Monitor job postings, company news, funding announcements
