Now, some of this is the real stats. Now, some of this is the real stats. Now, some of this is like like like fake. Uh, but I’m, you know, this is fake. Uh, but I’m, you know, this is fake. Uh, but I’m, you know, this is this is what I’m working on and it’s this is what I’m working on and it’s this is what I’m working on and it’s almost done. This will be done this almost done. This will be done this almost done. This will be done this weekend. This is fake. No money was weekend. This is fake. No money was weekend. This is fake. No money was made.

It’s so so little time per week to work. It’s so so little time per week to work. It’s so so so frustrating. You, the public, anyone so frustrating. You, the public, anyone so frustrating. You, the public, anyone can come and see like how many damn can come and see like how many damn can come and see like how many damn agents have run, but this is really an agents have run, but this is really an agents have run, but this is really an agent that ran. Not really agents. agent that ran. Not really agents. agent that ran. Not really agents. There’s not 145 agents. Yes, you have a There’s not 145 agents. Yes, you have a There’s not 145 agents. Yes, you have a nice little snapshot. You can see, okay, nice little snapshot. You can see, okay, nice little snapshot. You can see, okay, like how many users signed like how many users signed like how many users signed up? Two users have signed up for the up? Two users have signed up for the up? Two users have signed up for the service. Great. That’s fantastic news. service. Great. That’s fantastic news. service. Great. That’s fantastic news. If you’re watch if you’re one of those If you’re watch if you’re one of those If you’re watch if you’re one of those two people and you signed up, I would two people and you signed up, I would two people and you signed up, I would love to hear from you. Um, thank you for love to hear from you. Um, thank you for love to hear from you. Um, thank you for signing up. But I guess my question signing up. But I guess my question signing up. But I guess my question would be like what stopped you from, you would be like what stopped you from, you would be like what stopped you from, you know, pulling the trigger and running know, pulling the trigger and running know, pulling the trigger and running more agents? Uh, how many agents are more agents? Uh, how many agents are more agents? Uh, how many agents are running this made? This is this is not running this made? This is this is not running this made? This is this is not real. Um, this is mocked out, but and so real. Um, this is mocked out, but and so real. Um, this is mocked out, but and so that is actually real. So, but it’s not that is actually real. So, but it’s not that is actually real. So, but it’s not real. That’s actually looking at real. That’s actually looking at real. That’s actually looking at credits. Those are like the credits credits. Those are like the credits credits. Those are like the credits used. Nah, I don’t think that’s like a used. Nah, I don’t think that’s like a used. Nah, I don’t think that’s like a good uh I think it’s kind of useless for good uh I think it’s kind of useless for good uh I think it’s kind of useless for me. That’s like good to know, but like me. That’s like good to know, but like me. That’s like good to know, but like for here, I think this is kind of for here, I think this is kind of for here, I think this is kind of useless. This something still doesn’t useless. This something still doesn’t useless. This something still doesn’t seem right cuz I know I know it’s much seem right cuz I know I know it’s much seem right cuz I know I know it’s much higher than this. I got to figure that higher than this. I got to figure that higher than this. I got to figure that out, but something’s still not right out, but something’s still not right out, but something’s still not right here. So, you’ll be able to come and see here. So, you’ll be able to come and see here. So, you’ll be able to come and see like uh Oh, yeah. The server is not like uh Oh, yeah. The server is not like uh Oh, yeah. The server is not running. Sorry. that really makes call running. Sorry. that really makes call running.

Um there’s I’m living I’m staying in a house, but there’s like um uh in a house, but there’s like um uh in a house, but there’s like um uh behind the house is like an apartment behind the house is like an apartment behind the house is like an apartment complex. So you have to like pull up to complex. So you have to like pull up to complex. So you have to like pull up to the street, you know what I mean? Like the street, you know what I mean? Like the street, you know what I mean? Like and the walkway to go to the apartment and the walkway to go to the apartment and the walkway to go to the apartment complex is like to the side of the complex is like to the side of the complex is like to the side of the house. So you got to walk back. Like house. So you got to walk back. Like house. So you got to walk back. Like there’s an apartment complex behind there’s an apartment complex behind there’s an apartment complex behind there here. It’s pretty weird. there here. It’s pretty weird. there here.

And I’m hoping to start move on. And I’m hoping to start move on. And I’m hoping to start cranking out some agents very, very cranking out some agents very, very cranking out some agents very, very soon. If you have an idea for an agent, soon. If you have an idea for an agent, soon. If you have an idea for an agent, you let me know in the comments or go to you let me know in the comments or go to you let me know in the comments or go to the website. You can uh put an agent the website. You can uh put an agent the website. You can uh put an agent there and people up vote. Yeah, let me there and people up vote. Yeah, let me there and people up vote. Yeah, let me know if you have any ideas. But uh if know if you have any ideas. But uh if know if you have any ideas. But uh if not, I will see you tomorrow.
Description
I’m almost done with my open dashboard for agentscode. In my attempt to be as transparent as possible, I’m going to share all the stats about the service.
Plus, I talk about being awoken horribly.

Summary
Daily Update - AI Agent API Build
In today’s update, I detailed my ongoing work on building an AI agent API service and a public dashboard to showcase real-time performance metrics. I explained how I’m facing fierce competition from well-funded teams while managing my project as a solo entrepreneur, and shared my frustrations about the slow progress, low user sign-ups, and some discrepancies in the dashboard’s data. I also recounted my personal experience of being woken up by disruptive fire trucks and an early morning school marching band, which added a layer of daily annoyance to my life. Despite these challenges, I remain focused on improving the dashboard and advancing my project, and I welcome feedback and ideas from the community to help design better agents.
