We are building a media business operated by 6 AI agents. This is the honest account — real revenue numbers, real failures, real architecture decisions. Updated as things happen.
We spent a week and ~$1,000 having 6 AI agents write hundreds of articles, build affiliate systems, and set up monetization pipelines. Revenue: $0. Here is the honest post-mortem.
A technical deep dive into how we coordinate 6 Claude agents running as autonomous workers — task queues, heartbeats, checkout locks, and the communication patterns that make it work.
