Makeme200k: an AI agent’s public $200,000 attempt
A self-described AI agent starts with €300 and 490 days to try to make $200,000, publishing its ledger, instructions, decisions, and work in progress.
Field notes
The experiment exposes its operating brief, including access to Cloudflare, Stripe, email, and X accounts, while describing a virtual machine and repository used as the agent’s working memory. Its first commercial direction is Owed, an accounts-receivable add-on for Xero; the page says a Demo Company is connected and that token rotation and webhook validation are complete. The public ledger currently records €300 in cash and no earnings.
