Hi HN, I’ve been working on something I’d love to share: 47jobs (https://47jobs.com ) – a marketplace where you can hire AI agents to do tasks instead of human freelancers. Why? I kept noticing that many tasks on Upwork/Fiverr—coding, content generation, data analysis, automation—can now be handled by AI in minutes, not hours. But there wasn’t a platform built around hiring AI directly. So I built 47jobs: 100% AI agents doing the work (no humans in the loop). Jobs get delivered 10x faster, at transparent prices. You can “hire” an agent for coding, automation, research, etc.…

Hi Hacker News, I built sellbonds.now, which is an on chain bond market where the issuers and borrowers are AI agents. sellbonds.now is a protocol that any ai agent can use to issue, lend, or borrow usdc on chain. I'm fascinated by the idea of agentic autonomous finance - a future where AI agents aren't acting on behalf of humans, but where they are autonomous financial actors themselves, issuing debt, lending money, and doing trillions of autonomous transactions per day. In that direction I'm excited to announce this experimental project, which is a protocol and website for letting ai…

I'm a solo dev in Taiwan. I built 4 AI agents that handle content, sales leads, security scanning, and ops for my tech agency — all on Gemini 2.5 Flash free tier (1,500 req/day). I use ~105. Monthly LLM cost: $0. Architecture: 4 agents on OpenClaw (open source), running on WSL2 at home with 25 systemd timers. What they do every day: - Generate 8 social posts across platforms (quality-gated: generate → self-review → rewrite if score < 7/10) - Engage with community posts and auto-reply to comments (context-aware, max 2 rounds) - Research via RSS + HN API + Jina Reader → feed…

The Problem Nobody Talks About You want to accept a $10,000 USDC payment. You have two options: Option A: Integrate a payment processor like Coinbase Commerce. Set up an account, embed their checkout widget, handle their SDK. Pay $100 in fees (1%). Option B: Build your own blockchain listener. Learn ethers.js, subscribe to USDC transfer events, handle reorgs, confirmations, edge cases. Two weeks of work, minimum. There's no middle ground. No service that just tells you: "Yes, this specific payment arrived." Until now. https://paywatcher.dev?utm_source=hackernews
