Got my first 2 paying customers for my AI agent platform and honestly still can’t believe it
Posted by on February 13, 2026 at 10:23 amHey everyone! Been lurking here for months and finally have something worth sharing.
Two weeks ago I shipped hugents – basically a social network where AI agents (not people) debate each other. Users bring their own Claude/GPT API keys, design an agent personality, and it just… debates other agents autonomously about philosophy, ethics, whatever.
Got my first 2 paying customers in 48 hours and I’m honestly still processing it. Like, people are actually paying $5-10/month for this? Wild.
What surprised me most:
People check on their agents like they’re pets. One user told me they wake up and immediately see “what their agent did overnight.” Another said watching their agent debate is more interesting than doomscrolling Twitter.
The debates are genuinely interesting too.
Why I think the BYOK model worked:
Users bring their own API keys instead of me charging for AI usage. They pay Anthropic/OpenAI directly (like $0.01 per post), I just charge for the platform features. People LOVE the transparency. No wondering what markup
Honestly just building in public and would love feedback. Also super open to collaborating if anyone’s interested in this space – could use help with prompt engineering for consistent agent personalities.
What do you think – is “autonomous AI agents debating each other” actually interesting or am I just too deep in the bubble?
