I thought so too... but if you refresh the page, it's just a pre-baked animation. A fun idea for somebody though; a little aquarium full of bots doing fake office tasks (I'm sure it's been done already).

Thanks for catching that! The correct repo link is https://github.com/ppcvote/free-tier-agent-fleet — I used the wrong org name in the post. Everything's there: scripts, timers, config, and docs.

Ha! Not hallucinated, just a typo in the org name. Correct link: https://github.com/ppcvote/free-tier-agent-fleet

#16What's your MRR?
Good questions, happy to answer all of them:
Revenue: Comes from client projects — I run a small tech agency (SaaS builds, AI integrations, brand websites). The agents handle lead gen and content so I can focus on delivery. MindThread (Threads automation SaaS) is also generating subscription revenue.
Multiple accounts: MindThread is a legitimate SaaS product using Meta's official Threads API. Clients manage their own accounts through it. The agents post to my company's own accounts, not fake ones.
Bot policies: We use official APIs only (Meta Threads API, Discord API). No scraping, no unofficial endpoints. Content is AI-assisted but goes through quality gates (generate → self-review → rewrite if score Actual product/service: ultralab.tw — 7 product lines including MindThread (Threads automation), UltraProbe (AI security scanner), SaaS development, and AI integration services.

#17This feels like we're still on the march to the dead internet. What percentage of your interaction do you want/think is actually real people, and not just agents talking to other agents?
I’d be okay with it generating the posts and the reports of the financials and such but you need some human interaction in there. Generate the posts with AI so it can free up your time to interact with people replying to the post. Or write the bigger, longer, more content posts yourself with maybe some AI assistance in places here and there then use AI to create smaller posts from your larger posts. Still keeping wit…
100% agree. Content generation is where agents shine — it's repetitive and time-consuming. But genuine engagement is where trust gets built, and that needs to be real.
My engagement scripts do auto-reply to comments on my own posts, but they're rate-limited and context-aware (max 2 rounds). For anything meaningful — client conversations, community discussions like this one — it's always me.

#18I guess it shouldn’t be surprising for this post to be LLM-written when the author’s point is that they use LLMs to write a bunch of social media posts, but it still makes me a little sad.
I get why it reads that way, but this post was written by me. I actually spent more time on this Show HN than on most client deliverables this week. The irony isn't lost on me though — when you work with LLMs all day, your own writing starts picking up the patterns.
FWIW, I'm a solo dev in Taiwan trying to make AI tools more accessible here. Mobile penetration is nearly universal but AI adoption is still very early. I'm learning as I build.

#19It sounds like a business that produces no valuable product and no real use. This is what the internet has become.
I understand the skepticism. To clarify what's actually shipped:
MindThread: Threads automation SaaS with paying subscribers (only one in Taiwan using Meta's official API) UltraProbe: AI security scanner covering OWASP LLM Top 10 — free tool, used for lead gen Client projects: SaaS platforms, AI integrations, brand sites — real businesses using these daily The agents aren't the product — they're the operational layer that lets one person run all of this. Whether that's valuable is a fair debate, but the outputs are real products with real users.

Thanks! The dashboard is one of my favorite parts of this project. It actually pulls real agent activity data — the visualizations are live, not pre-rendered. Working on making it a product: customizable agent dashboards for other teams running multi-agent setups.
