A developer provided an AI agent powered by Claude Opus and browser-use tools with a $1,000 budget and compute credits, tasking it with navigating the real internet autonomously.
The crypto community quickly embraced the project, launching tokens around it and directing transaction fees to the agent's wallet. The agent has already accumulated over $10,000 in funds, which the developer has allowed it to use to top up its own compute credits, pushing the boundaries of autonomous agent monetization and survival.
