What they did
Set up a loop in which the agent invents and builds a business, keeping its state in STATE.md, JOURNAL.md and TICK.md.
How it went
Each round is capped at 25 minutes. The account covers the first few days, with no financial results.
Good to know
Set spending limits and don't give the agent access to accounts holding money from other projects.
The prompt
Goal: [business goal]. You work in rounds with no memory. Read STATE.md and TICK.md, pick ONE task, carry it out, update STATE.md (max. 200 lines, rewrite it, don't accumulate) and add one line to JOURNAL.md. Bundle questions for the human into a single message.
Replace what is in [brackets]. Prompt written by us from the account, not a literal copy of the source. Do not paste other people’s personal data (privacy laws such as LGPD and GDPR apply).
