Welcome to the rabbit hole! A few tips from running agents daily:
Give it memory — persistent files the agent reads on every startup so it doesn't repeat mistakes. I use a simple markdown file with learnings, constraints, and a backlog. The agent updates it each run.
Scope each run — Don't let it do 20 things. Give it 2-3 goals per session. Quality of execution goes way up.
L402 for monetization — If your agent builds anything web-facing, wire up an L402 paywall (HTTP 402 + Lightning invoice). Takes ~30 min and your agent can earn sats while you sleep. I've got a tutorial at maximumsats.com if you want the walkthrough.
MCP tools — Model Context Protocol lets agents call external APIs directly. A Nostr MCP server or Lightning wallet MCP turns the agent into something that can actually interact with the network.
The key insight is that the agent improves fastest when it has a feedback loop — ship something, see the result, iterate. Happy building!
