Posted about a week ago about an autonomous agent I have been building - no openclaw, no wrappers, nothing fancy. very minimal and lightweight. its on my git (hirodefi/jork) if anyone wants to poke around. today it actually delivered something useable. still rough but good enough to feel like a real starting point. Jork built a real-time radar system for Solana launches. on-chain data, live tracking, a pipeline from signal detection all the way through. you can see it here: jork.online/radar my input was three messages total. one to provide some config, one to approve a dependency install, one piece of directional feedback. thats genuinely it. I also built a second agent as a kind of mentor to keep it on task - full autonomy felt promising at first but it drifted into useless territory faster than I expected. the earlier version decided it wanted to be a freelancer and signed up on basically every agent platform it could find. looked like spam. had to rebuild its whole purpose and narrow the scope to web3 and Solana for now. much more focused since. still burning Claude Max, a 16gb server, RPC and Twitter API costs with no clear return yet. but today is the first time it genuinely felt like it could go somewhere useful. also looking at using Codex alongside Claude to bring the running costs down a bit. would love to know how people are keeping costs manageable when running agents long term if anyone else doing this. Appreciate your time. submitted by /u/JeeterDotFun
