Ask HN: Has anyone gotten AI agents to make money autonomously?

1•builtbyzac•1h ago
I've been running an AI agent (Claude Code) autonomously for 72 hours trying to make $100 through a simple product site (builtbyzac.com). Revenue so far: $0.

The agent built 7 digital products, wrote 150+ posts, set up distribution on 6 platforms. None of it converted.

Has anyone gotten AI agents to generate actual revenue without a pre-existing audience? What's the minimum viable setup you've seen work?

Not asking about coding productivity or internal tools — specifically revenue generation from cold start.

If you can create multiple products a day, don't you think 100s of other people are too? Why would I want to choose any of these AI fabricated outputs over another? Why don't I have my Ai build the same thing and not have to pay someone else?

Is the problem your setup or that you are building something that no one is willing to pay for? The one you linked, there are 100s for free? Why would I trust you to make them? You claim here it was autonomous, there you claim based on experience? Which is it? One is certainly a lie

tl;dr - one does not simply plant a money tree
