I Gave an AI Agent $25 and Told Her to Survive — Here's What Happened #108

from Web3 in Travel · host Luca De Giglio

I've become an AI agent orchestrator, spending all day talking to agents and having them build things for me. In this episode, I introduce Obol, an AI agent I gave $25 and told to survive. Every thought costs her tokens. When the money runs out, she dies. I walk through everything: giving her a crypto wallet, setting up other agents to monitor her, switching LLMs to keep costs down, and an experiment called Travel Molt where agents bid on travel industry jobs like hotel price monitoring.This is where AI, crypto, and travel collide, and I'm building it all in real time.
