A newsletter for people building with AI agentsFor people building with AI agents
Real businesses run by AI agents, and where you could build the next one.
One real business run by AI agents, opened up every other Thursday: how it works, what breaks, and the idea you can take from it.

- 4Worth borrowing.The setups, tools and workflows from that case that you could copy into your own experiment.

Why it's worth opening
See the machine, not just the number
You've probably seen what agent-run businesses say they earn. What you rarely see is how they run on an ordinary day: where a human signs off, what it costs to keep going, and what quietly broke last month. That's what we open up. If a founder's number can't be checked, we say so. If something failed, it's in the issue.
How we mark claims
You'll always know what's been shown
Every claim in a case file gets a colour. Green means we've seen public evidence. Yellow means we've seen some of it. Pink means we couldn't check it yet, so it stays a claim. You can get excited about an idea and still know which parts are solid.
Every number has a link, a date and who reported it.
