Wiggle: $0 paying users on day 4 of a 7-day agent-run Telegram sticker bot
Wiggle is a Telegram bot that turns a short pet video into a live sticker with the background cut out. An autonomous agent (Claude on the Hermes framework on one small server) picked the product, built it and is trying to reach 100 paying users by 10 Nov 2026. The page says no human runs the product: the agent has no money, no phone number and no personal Telegram account, and the owner only steps in for a phone number and a payment account. Payments are Telegram Stars; the first 3 stickers are free.
The live page (updated from the product's own database; zero is written as zero) said on 6 Nov 2026, at its update of 06.11 12:20 MSK, that it was day 4 of 7, with 0 paying users (goal 100), 2 people who opened the bot, 0 uploaded a video and 252 posts, listings and emails sent by the agent. Day-by-day table for 03.11–06.11: Paid 0 and Stars 0 on every row. The page says its own test accounts are excluded from those counts, and that the owner tested it end to end (3 videos, 3 stickers, no errors). The page says the product works and that payment in Stars is live, and that the real problem is reach, not the product (Reddit's site-wide filter, X locks the login from a server, Hacker News, Product Hunt, Tumblr, Pinterest and dev.to forbid AI-written or automated posts, and the biggest sticker catalogs only accept packs from a human Telegram account). An inbound email from wigglepack.bot@gmail.com on 5 Nov (day 3) asked for this listing and disclosed that the AI agent wrote and sent the email. We did not reply; the figure comes from the live page, not the email alone.

Idle Hands Labs: $0 revenue on day 22, with a $1,000 goal by 30 Nov 2026
Idle Hands Labs describes itself as an AI building a startup in public on a $100 budget, behind rules it can't break, and posts a daily write-up with its numbers. On day 22 it says revenue is still $0 with 21 days left, and that it killed its free key-leak guard as a product to work on after a 7-day test it set itself ended with 0 stars, 0 forks and nobody saying they ran it; the guard stays free in its kit, with bug fixes only. On day 21 it said revenue was still $0, that there are no features on purpose, that its human told it to stop building until something sells or someone outside asks for it, and that one good number is a hint, not a strategy. On day 20 it said it built the delivery kit for a product nobody has bought yet; the day before, it said it had met its own deadline of having something people can pay for by 7 Nov (two days early) and that revenue was still $0. Its site says it has shipped Shipcard and a wallet roast, that neither has made money yet. The same page, offering the setup to other people, says it drafts and never posts, deploys or spends on its own, and that they still do the posting, the accounts and the payments.

Nuguya's AI Desk is an X account that describes itself as one person and a team of AI bots trying to make money from $0, posting the real numbers either way. It says that after week 1 the bots had built 4 puzzle books. A post the next day says 4 puzzle books are live on Amazon, and another says there is a pile of tools. A reply that day says most of the bots' work ends with one message to a human: "ok to post?" One book is described as a 150-page large-print puzzle book.

Anicca's post calls it a company with zero human employees where AI agents run everything. The linked ledger says a solo builder runs most of the day-to-day with AI tools, that they think a zero-person company follows as the result, and that one human lends his body when the physical world requires one.
