halfway there it lie and I’m almost halfway there it lie and I’m almost halfway there it hasn’t been a fun fun last week or so so hasn’t been a fun fun last week or so so hasn’t been a fun fun last week or so so I launched agent code I launched agent code I launched agent code my AI agent API service and so far it’s my AI agent API service and so far it’s my AI agent API service and so far it’s not going well well I’ve gotten like not going well well I’ve gotten like not going well well I’ve gotten like crickets crickets crickets uh no crickets crickets crickets uh no crickets crickets crickets uh no feedback no one seems interested it’s feedback no one seems interested it’s feedback no one seems interested it’s really really really discouraging uh I’m wondering if I’m discouraging uh I’m wondering if I’m discouraging uh I’m wondering if I’m just wasting my time here building just wasting my time here building just wasting my time here building and wasting all of this these months and wasting all of this these months and wasting all of this these months building stuff that nobody wants building stuff that nobody wants building stuff that nobody wants um I don’t know I’m that’s that’s kind um I don’t know I’m that’s that’s kind um I don’t know I’m that’s that’s kind of where I’m at I’m I’m pretty of where I’m at I’m I’m pretty of where I’m at I’m I’m pretty frustrated

mean it’s just not done it’s really Half mean it’s just not done it’s really Half mean it’s just not done it’s really Half Baked so I’m kind of just like hey Baked so I’m kind of just like hey Baked so I’m kind of just like hey here’s a crappy MVP you know what do you here’s a crappy MVP you know what do you here’s a crappy MVP you know what do you I’m I I guess I’m hoping for feedback I’m I I guess I’m hoping for feedback I’m I I guess I’m hoping for feedback and people to try it out try the demos and people to try it out try the demos and people to try it out try the demos because there are a few demos I know because there are a few demos I know because there are a few demos I know there’s only two agents um but there are there’s only two agents um but there are there’s only two agents um but there are demos they do work they actually call demos they do work they actually call demos they do work they actually call real agents they’re actually doing stuff real agents they’re actually doing stuff real agents they’re actually doing stuff uh like that is real that actually just uh like that is real that actually just uh like that is real that actually just ran an agent in the cloud so I’m like ran an agent in the cloud so I’m like ran an agent in the cloud so I’m like okay Step One is get get the get the okay Step One is get get the get the okay Step One is get get the get the landing page like really done one thing landing page like really done one thing landing page like really done one thing that’s severely missing is documentation that’s severely missing is documentation that’s severely missing is documentation that’s just that’s just that’s just like fake so I started working on like fake so I started working on like fake so I started working on documentation so I’m going to get documentation so I’m going to get documentation so I’m going to get something up ASAP for that that that’s something up ASAP for that that that’s something up ASAP for that that that’s what I’m working on right now what I’m working on right now what I’m working on right now today um and then I today um and then I today um and then I want to add a bit more want to add a bit more want to add a bit more here uh put put put I I I still don’t here uh put put put I I I still don’t here uh put put put I I I still don’t know when to build next like again I’m know when to build next like again I’m know when to build next like again I’m just getting very little feedback so I just getting very little feedback so I just getting very little feedback so I have some ideas I’m trying so what am I have some ideas I’m trying so what am I have some ideas I’m trying so what am I doing like what am I doing I don’t doing like what am I doing I don’t doing like what am I doing I don’t know uh I’m I’m I’m going after know uh I’m I’m I’m going after know uh I’m I’m I’m going after like very obvious in demand task like like very obvious in demand task like like very obvious in demand task like for example scheduling meetings like for example scheduling meetings like for example scheduling meetings like going and getting you know getting going and getting you know getting going and getting you know getting chapters built for a YouTube video chapters built for a YouTube video chapters built for a YouTube video getting uh um you know the transcript getting uh um you know the transcript getting uh um you know the transcript these are real things that I see people these are real things that I see people these are real things that I see people paying for in needing like I needed to paying for in needing like I needed to paying for in needing like I needed to go get like this YouTube transcription go get like this YouTube transcription go get like this YouTube transcription and do stuff with AI like I see there’s and do stuff with AI like I see there’s and do stuff with AI like I see there’s a need I see other people making money a need I see other people making money a need I see other people making money off of these things so I’m going after off of these things so I’m going after off of these things so I’m going after things I think I could replicate that I things I think I could replicate that I things I think I could replicate that I can make easy and cheaper for people to can make easy and cheaper for people to can make easy and cheaper for people to drop into their product so that I’m drop into their product so that I’m drop into their product so that I’m going after like known obvious things going after like known obvious things going after like known obvious things people will pay money for that’s why uh people will pay money for that’s why uh people will pay money for that’s why uh the number one one the number one agent the number one one the number one agent the number one one the number one agent on my list and somebody else at least on my list and somebody else at least on my list and somebody else at least somebody gave me some feedback I super somebody gave me some feedback I super somebody gave me some feedback I super appreciate whoever clicked the upvot appreciate whoever clicked the upvot appreciate whoever clicked the upvot button here I know this is a service button here I know this is a service button here I know this is a service that like charges a lot of money I know that like charges a lot of money I know that like charges a lot of money I know this is like an in demand thing so I’m this is like an in demand thing so I’m this is like an in demand thing so I’m I’m hoping
