Agent traffic just passed human traffic but the internet's economic model still assumes the user has attention to sell. Very few people see what's coming.

there’s something quite awkward about all the personal agents in the current hype cycle muse, grok bot, instinct, dots, and whatever google, anthropic will come up with none of them is “mine” i’d be trusting a vendor for some of the most sensitive data about me and bet on them handling it with extreme responsibility. what if they have a data leakage incident? what if they hired a wrong employee? what if they simply break bad? i’d also be betting on their model. right now i’ve set up a lot of my stuff in grok bot, but what if their model falls behind? what if another model becomes 10x better on pure intelligence? then i’ll either miss out on a better assistant, or have to bite the bullet and do a full migration i’d also have to bet on their product. they may not build the features i want. they may not allow me to customize enough. and one day my assistant may show me ads that feels like way too much betting than what i’d be comfortable with, if i truly want literally everything in my life to go through and be taken care of by an assistant with all that considered, i’m more bullish on open source personal agents that run on people’s own computers. but i think these open source projects have to break out of the assumption that their users are developers and they can just throw a repo at them and ask them to launch a terminal a well polished, fool proof, community maintained, vendor agnostic, free personal agent that everyone can run by themselves without locking into a SaaS - that’s what i think many people will need

sota models are already smarter than you and me we just need to give them capital

We need to be way more ambitious about what personal agents can do for us We're taking models capable of solving long-standing open problems in mathematics and using them to schedule our calendars and book flights, things we've always been able to do I should be able to give my agent a fixed amount of money, tell it to take as long as it needs, and let it decide how to allocate resources to find a breakthrough in an area I deeply care about Forget trying to book a doctor's appointment for me. Please read every relevant research paper, fund experiments in autonomous wet labs, hire the best human researchers, make novel discoveries and give me a hyper-personalized solution. Make no mistakes.

Anyone can fine-tune small open source models using an agent with USDC

I just vibe coded one from my phone

Bank says no? Ask your agent 🇯🇵

Wow, concise & inspiring vision for personal agents! Many builders in the sf bubble make the mistake of assuming everyone outside of it is too dumb or doesn't have important things happening in their lives for agents to have any meaningful impact The winning product needs to deeply empathize with users outside this bubble

1) The number of agents will keep growing 2) The number of agents that need to transact then keeps growing 3) Crypto and stablecoins will be their go-to payment rail Yep.

give your agent access to x402 for financial research you’ll thank me later

Bring your Claude subscription and run your Seal with Opus 5.5

I like opus 5.5

I'd recommend trying @heysealai It's not free but you just pay a few cents to access > SOTA claude or chatgpt models > computer use > 1000+ service endpoints including Seedance2.5, Image2, Apollo, Exa And you can keep it running for however long you want

Had some very strong positive feedback on this. If you haven’t had the chance, please check out the final cut of mine and @juzuth’s submission to @higgsfield’s film festival All criticism and acclaim welcome: piped.video/i36RIi9Xfjc?si=9NJ7…

My @heysealai agent is so fire It sends me a daily digest of the news in Indian D2C across news sites so I can always stay on top of what’s happening in my industry

Astra is so good you can just give it some money and it'll figure out how to do pretty much anything
