Had a great time talking about our vision for @trydrip on Unchained Premium with @laurashin. And @unchained_pod's free + premium podcasts and newsletters are now available on @trydrip! Give your agent access to one of the best news sources in crypto.

Had a great time with Tony on the @thinkingcrypto Podcast! ALSO @thinkingcrypto podcast content is now on @trydrip, so your agent can access and analyze their crypto interviews directly 🔥

Paywalls were built to convert human readers. Agents are a new buyer with different elasticity, no loyalty, and perfect price sensitivity, and at times they transact at a price of 0 via scraping. Michael (@blauyourmind) on turning scraped content into a revenue line for independent writers.

Just shipped a stock picks generator on @trydrip. Buy a structured daily report of the stocks premium finance newsletters are talking about, with each writer’s sentiment and investment recs. Writers get paid when their work is used. Try it now: dripstack.xyz/stock-picks

Quick demo of my vibe / agentic investing setup: 1. @circle Agent Wallet to pay for premium data 2. @trydrip for stock recs from financial newsletters 3. @RobinhoodApp MCP to place trades Paying $0.50 for premium data and placing trades, all from Codex, feels magical.

Quick demo of our new @trydrip endpoint: /stock-picks Your agent can now generate a structured report of the latest stock picks and recommendations from premium finance newsletters. Would love feedback! Try it yourself here: dripstack.xyz/stock-picks

What happens when you give your agent money and a goal? The quick answer: You learn a lot and realize the agentic economy will upend the economics of a lot of content delivery. Generating a report is so easy that too many people are doing it. I think everyone has gotten the following: --A really long report --With a bunch of sources --Filled with a ton of recommendations Sometimes, I come across more than one a day. Some are slop. Some aren’t. For the ones that are slop, the tell-tale signal for me is the horizontal lines separating the sections. The worst. Here’s a pro-tip: You have to build your own style skill.md file so your work at least looks like it was yours (and I strongly recommend that whatever you share should reflect your voice and thoughts). I prefer all the headings in my doc to be #f98e1d, which is papaya orange, and I like Merriweather 11 point font and for the love of God only one space after a period. That’s all in a skills.md file so every time I generate a report, or strategy doc, the output looks just as I want it to. Sometimes, I want to generate my own report, either just for personal consumption or because I want to share insights with colleagues. So I check X and Substack and my company's internal Slack channels for the best prompts. I’ve probably bookmarked 50+ of these. I’ve used goals, loops, you name it. But what about money? Does throwing money at the problem actually help? I asked myself this after my company launched Circle Agent Stack*, which among other things makes it easy to give your agent a digital wallet connected to your AI platform of choice. In this instance, I used Codex even though I use Claude more often than not. I simply wanted to get smart on a burgeoning topic: The Agentic Economy. It doesn’t have a formal definition yet, but in its simplest form think “I have an agent and I want it to be able to pay for products and services.” Its more complex definition would include having agents coordinate all types of economic activity, including contracts and governance, not just buying things. I am not a technical person, in the sense that I’ve never studied computer science or engineering. I’m a generalist. I was a reporter for a long time. I went to grad school to study the “great books.” But I’ve become AI pilled. I’ve spent hundreds of hours (and bajillions of tokens) getting sharp on AI. I’ve built agents. Agents that have subagents. An app that helps us launch projects and coordinate work. I follow a few Substacks closely (paid and free). My two favorites: “Don’t Worry About the Vase” by @TheZvi and “One Useful Thing" by @emollick. None of this learning was easy but none of it was insurmountable. All of it took time. Same with Circle Agent Stack. My goal was to try to use Circle Agent Stack for something without asking for help from another human. All I needed to do was spin up a new digital wallet and fund it. All told, the set up took a few minutes. Here’s the starter prompt you can drop in your terminal: Run curl -sL agents.circle.com/skills/setup.md, and use the returned setup instructions to set up my agent wallet. I gave Codex a simple prompt to generate a weekly report on the agentic economy and said it should spend “up to 0.50 USDC” using the 40+ services available on Circle’s agent marketplace. I had already generated an organic report that week, so set it and was looking forward to the results the following week. And I’ve now gotten reports that have spent USDC to find insights. Each report details how much money was spent and why. See an example below. The insights aren’t mind-blowing – yet. We all know the amount of free information available today is already insane. But like all things AI, the number of services that expose themselves to agents is growing, fast. So I’m going to keep this experiment going for a while. What I really can’t wait for is for some of the best news and information organizations on earth to make their paywalled content available on a per-use basis. I’m already pleased that Drip (@trydrip) is doing this with some premium finance Substacks. But I wish all content on @Substack, and even AI-focused sources like @every didn't just have subscriptions, but enabled pay-per-article. I already subscribe to far too many sources, but would pay for access now and again to articles and research reports. But I don’t want to have to sign up and log in. Why should I? It doesn’t feel natural. Next challenge Do I get better results when I ask Codex to “spend 0.50 USDC” as opposed to just “send up to 0.50 USDC”? —-- *I work at a public company so I have to include this disclosure: Circle Technology Services, LLC (“CTS”) is a software provider and does not provide financial, advisory, or marketplace services.
