Um, so when cleaning up this section. Um, so when cleaning up this section. Um, so when when you hit the landing page, you when you hit the landing page, you when you hit the landing page, you actually see what agents you can see actually see what agents you can see actually see what agents you can see like the cost, how many credits, you can like the cost, how many credits, you can like the cost, how many credits, you can see there’s a live demo. And now I show see there’s a live demo. And now I show see there’s a live demo. And now I show how many times it’s been how many times it’s been how many times it’s been ran. So, let’s click on ran. So, let’s click on ran. So, let’s click on that. I think I finally fixed the bug. I that. I think I finally fixed the bug. I that. I think I finally fixed the bug. I mentioned this the other day. There was mentioned this the other day. There was mentioned this the other day. There was like one little bug where wasn’t like one little bug where wasn’t like one little bug where wasn’t generating chapters, but it looks like generating chapters, but it looks like generating chapters, but it looks like that’s working. that’s working. that’s working. Yeah, you can uh you can now see like Yeah, you can uh you can now see like Yeah, you can uh you can now see like how many like how popular it is, how how many like how popular it is, how how many like how popular it is, how many times it has ran.

So, uh yeah, and before there’s reviews. So, uh yeah, and it’s kind of kind of sad because a lot it’s kind of kind of sad because a lot it’s kind of kind of sad because a lot of these runs are the demo because if of these runs are the demo because if of these runs are the demo because if you go and you run this right now, uh you go and you run this right now, uh you go and you run this right now, uh for the demo, it will be a run. It will for the demo, it will be a run. It will for the demo, it will be a run. It will obviously kick off the agent and run it. obviously kick off the agent and run it. obviously kick off the agent and run it. And then I also was looking around the And then I also was looking around the And then I also was looking around the internet for other marketplaces internet for other marketplaces internet for other marketplaces where there’s AI where there’s AI where there’s AI agents. I really want this to turn into agents. I really want this to turn into agents. I really want this to turn into a marketplace where there is like really a marketplace where there is like really a marketplace where there is like really high quality agents that are vetted that high quality agents that are vetted that high quality agents that are vetted that other developers maybe even no code other developers maybe even no code other developers maybe even no code people can. I’m totally open to that people can. I’m totally open to that people can. I’m totally open to that where people build where people build where people build agents, put them up here, and you get a agents, put them up here, and you get a agents, put them up here, and you get a you get you get money for everyone who you get you get money for everyone who you get you get money for everyone who runs your agent. I really want to do runs your agent. I really want to do runs your agent. I really want to do that, but god, I just need so much work that, but god, I just need so much work that, but god, I just need so much work to make that happen, and I just don’t to make that happen, and I just don’t to make that happen, and I just don’t have the time. So, starting with me have the time. So, starting with me have the time. So, starting with me first, but that’s that’s the dream. first, but that’s that’s the dream. first, but that’s that’s the dream. That’s where I want to get to. Uh, and That’s where I want to get to. Uh, and That’s where I want to get to. Uh, and then you can make an agent, and if it’s then you can make an agent, and if it’s then you can make an agent, and if it’s popular and people run it, you’re gonna popular and people run it, you’re gonna popular and people run it, you’re gonna get money.

But I would love I would love to that. But I would love I would love to do that cuz I don’t want to just be the do that cuz I don’t want to just be the do that cuz I don’t want to just be the only one building the agents. Like, and only one building the agents. Like, and only one building the agents. Like, and frankly, I think I would get better frankly, I think I would get better frankly, I think I would get better agents if I opened it up to everybody. agents if I opened it up to everybody. agents if I opened it up to everybody. It’s on me to make the agents and I’m It’s on me to make the agents and I’m It’s on me to make the agents and I’m going to start cranking out some agents going to start cranking out some agents going to start cranking out some agents here pretty soon. One thing I wanted to here pretty soon. One thing I wanted to here pretty soon. One thing I wanted to talk about this this kind of like talk about this this kind of like talk about this this kind of like goes deep into like my philosophy on goes deep into like my philosophy on goes deep into like my philosophy on software kind of in life in general. software kind of in life in general. software kind of in life in general.
