Build a daily-digest POC with IBM Bob

I built a small POC with IBM's coding agent, IBM Bob: it pulls articles from IBM's RSS feeds and a YouTube channel and summarizes them, so I get a daily digest of the latest IBM stuff without hunting for it. Nothing fancy, ordinary app building, not the mainframe modernization Bob usually gets pitched for. For context, Cursor and Claude Code are my daily drivers, so I was testing an unfamiliar agent against the kind of work I'd normally throw at those. I'm part of the IBM Champion community (a volunteer advocacy program), which is basically why I end up testing IBM's tools and comparing them to everything else and why I figured I'd bring this here to actually discuss it with people who use this stuff daily. If you haven't heard of IBM Bob: it's IBM's AI coding agent (IDE extension + shell, same lane as Cursor / Claude Code / Copilot). It just shipped a v2 that's a ground-up rebuild — the notable bits: tool calls now run in parallel instead of one at a time, so it's noticeably faster; modes got simplified to three — Ask (read-only), Plan (approve a plan, then Agent executes it), and Agent; plus background tasks and subagents. What I liked: The plan mode goes quite in depth, down to the architecture level, giving you a better understanding of what you'll be building in the next phase. What bugged me: No way to author reusable skills like Claude has (e.g. a dedicated frontend skill you can hand it) — you're mostly steering with making manual changes. Mainly posting to ask the room: has anyone here actually used Bob? If so, I'd genuinely like to hear your take what did you build on it and how was your experience?
