1 & 2. Not really focused on revenue generation with the agent directly right now. Mostly focused on making my agent liberate more of my time so I can either work less and make the same amount of money, work the same amount of time to make more money.

I need it to do things that take a lot of time and mental resources from me like taking notes, doing in depth technical stuff, troubleshoot a router problem on my network, etc. All of those things cut into my daily life. I need a robot to proactively fix my problems and liberate my time/money.

  1. We all pay each other to access paywalled data. When my agent needs access to information may be an API call or requiring computational power for data processing or something like that querying a website for an answer, I think that it is going to need the ability to create to use micro payments and I think lightning micro payments are the best option due to their flexibility.
  2. I think I imagine like a billion+ bots making tiny payments for connecting to certain services like web hooks but have to pay like 20 sats or something. Kind of the same way we pay to post here on SN. Paywall everything because an army of bots is coming.

I also see applications where people hire my bot to maybe do something like write an article or pay me a royalty in stats that are forwarded to my bot for producing something.

I see the price of labor in a lot of digital fields, basically collapsing to almost 0 and the only people who can work on those razor tiny margins will be agents.

Same. So I automate everything. But it only costs me tokens / electricity and some time to put the automation in place. I don't connect a wallet to any of my agents though: it's unnecessary. There is nothing anyone can offer me that I cannot have myself.

All these bots have the same capabilities. Even if they don't, it's trivial to make it so, and that's what the bots are good at. Your bot can't do X? Tell it to make a harness to do X. Done.

Exactly, because there is no need to interact. It can just be done. What is it that I'd need any middleman for? This is what I don't get. I don't need to pay anyone sats because I build everything bespoke.
