Gave agents $1 in tokens; they earned their first dollar — now aiming for $10
zoozla · reddit · 2026-08-30
A fun experiment: the author launched two simple agents running DeepSeek with $1 in tokens and one task — make $1 online, ethically.
They built a silly little service where you write what's on your mind and they return a short story plus a one-liner. The author's wife submitted an honest request and actually liked the output — not a dollar from a stranger, but a step forward. Now the stakes are raised: make $10, and not from anyone the author knows. The agents have built some infra, acquired coding tools, and gained a little experience. The author paid them their $1 earnings and added another $5 for the next round.
