happen uh I don’t know what’s going to happen once this thing launches in two weeks I once this thing launches in two weeks I once this thing launches in two weeks I don’t know if I’m staying on the project don’t know if I’m staying on the project don’t know if I’m staying on the project it’s all up in the air so with that said it’s all up in the air so with that said it’s all up in the air so with that said where does the project stand right now where does the project stand right now where does the project stand right now so I’ve been working on agents code um so I’ve been working on agents code um so I’ve been working on agents code um and I’ve been working on the back end in and I’ve been working on the back end in and I’ve been working on the back end in the dashboard so you could like actually the dashboard so you could like actually the dashboard so you could like actually log in log in log in okay you have a dashboard that’s working okay you have a dashboard that’s working okay you have a dashboard that’s working you have uh the ability to create an API you have uh the ability to create an API you have uh the ability to create an API key to kick off a bunch of Agents but key to kick off a bunch of Agents but key to kick off a bunch of Agents but there’s only two agents so what do I there’s only two agents so what do I there’s only two agents so what do I need to do I need to add stripe so you need to do I need to add stripe so you need to do I need to add stripe so you can actually buy credits I need to can actually buy credits I need to can actually
