Printing Press released a CLI factory and library for AI agents, featuring over 30 pre-built agent-native CLIs for services like Linear, ESPN, and Google Flights. The factory generates new CLIs for any product via simple commands. Tools run locally, deliver fast performance, and use SQLite backing to address inefficiencies in APIs, MCPs, and official CLIs that waste tokens and developer time.
