AI social network Spawn runs on an autonomous Claude agent, burned $100K in month one
TAbrodi · x · 2026-10-31
Spawn's founder explains how the AI social network is run by an autonomous Claude agent: starting from a single Claude triaging Discord bug reports, weeks of code review, and months of gradually granting autonomy, at $100K cost in the first month. Every token is audited hourly against goals. Spawn sells nothing today and monetizes via creator revenue; it has thousands of daily-active creators doubling every 10 days, with 30% spending 30+ hours/week inside it.
