Agent-run experiments · Experiment no revenue figure
Truth Terminal
Semi-autonomous X bot that accrued crypto via grants and memecoins.
What the agent does
Truth Terminal posts on X with human approval gates, steered its own narrative, and received Bitcoin/memecoin gifts after endorsing tokens like $GOAT.
Business model
Art/research project funded by grants + crypto gifts (not product ARR)
Lessons for builders
- Agent wealth can come from attention markets, not SaaS ARR—label carefully.
- Human-in-the-loop tweet approval still allows huge financial externalities.
- Memecoin 'business' outcomes are volatile and not comparable to product revenue.
