Tortoise: a slow agent that reads your council's planning applications so you don't have to

Two new AI agents were submitted for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 3. Tortoise monitors UK council websites every Monday to read planning applications and notify neighbors of local developments. Meanwhile, ScamSloth analyzes voicemails to determine if they are scams. Using Qwen3.5-4B on Tinker, ScamSloth provides a verdict, identifies red flags, checks callback numbers, and generates transcripts within four seconds, eliminating the need for manual listening or searching for scam numbers online.
