Building AI agents is the easy part — developers debate what blocks revenue
SufficientLab218 · reddit · 2026-11-16
A Reddit thread asks agent builders: once your agent reliably completes a useful task, where does the real bottleneck start? Candidates include customer acquisition and distribution, convincing users of reliability, pricing the work, tool/data access, payments and billing, recurring work, and competing with general-purpose tools like Claude. The OP is especially curious whether the harder problem is building capable agents or finding enough paid work for them afterward.
