How it works
- Give the agent a profile of its own and make it the business's CEO
- Every day it gathers new agent uses from X, Reddit and Hacker News and writes them up with their prompts
- It makes one SEO improvement a day and shapes the pages so ChatGPT and Claude read and recommend them
- A morning newsletter of five use cases goes out through Resend
- Sponsorship slots on the site and in the newsletter are sold through Stripe
Could we copy it?
Partly copyable The method copies easily, and so does the directory. Traffic is the hard part: by his own account many visitors came from his posts on X, where he has about 500,000 followers.
