Not hypothetically. Agents can already book, buy, subscribe, and pay invoices. Some founders I talk to have already handed over a card. Others will not let an agent near anything that moves money.

My answer is yes, but only because of how much control sits around it. An agent in our world gets exactly the access it needs and nothing else, and that changes the risk completely.

So, would you? Where is your line?

I would like to warn you in advance that I do not want to offend any culture or country with this post. It only demonstrates observations from my own experience.

6 months ago, I had a conversation with a friend and we got to the topic of money.

I ve been thinking about a mistake we make when discussing AI-agent context:

We treat all context as if it serves the same purpose.

The usual advice is straightforward:

• Remove unnecessary context

• Summarize long outputs

• Reduce token usage

• Make the agent cheaper

I get asked this a lot. And honestly there's no single answer.

Most launches go with:

• product demos

• animated explainer videos

• a founder on Loom walking through a specific use case

Running agents in production is getting expensive fast especially when something loops, retries, or a user abuses the system. Curious what others are actually doing:

• Relying on provider-side billing alerts?

• Hard limits set on the OpenAI/Anthropic dashboard?

• Custom solution you built yourself?

• Nothing yet and just hoping for the best?

 I've been deep in this problem lately actually built something around it (launching tomorrow on PH). Would love to hear real approaches first though, especially from anyone running multi-tenant SaaS where you need per-user cost control.

A few years ago, if you added "AI-powered" to your landing page, people stopped and looked.

Today, I don't think that's enough anymore.

Not because AI isn't exciting.

But because people are slowly starting to expect it.

As builders, we love tracking daily metrics: MRR, GitHub commits, daily workouts, Inbox Zero. Standard habit trackers are incredibly optimized for this gamification.

But lately, I've realized my "mental RAM" gets completely eaten up by the irregular tasks. The stuff you only need to do every few weeks or months:

• Changing the AC filter

• Watering specific houseplants

• Following up with that one dormant enterprise lead

• Taking as-needed medication

• Taking a full day away from the screen

Most SEO conversations focus on acquiring backlinks, but I rarely see people talk about what happens afterward.

If you're managing dozens or hundreds of backlinks, how do you keep track of whether they're still active, whether they've changed, or whether they still point where they should?

Do you have a workflow for this, or is it something you only check occasionally?

I'm curious how different teams approach backlink maintenance.

Building a Luxury Apartment Site with Homely: A 7-Day Coding Case Study

A few weeks ago, a local real estate developer came to me with a challenge. They had just finished constructing a high-end, 12-unit apartment building and needed a modern website to showcase the property, list floor plans, and capture lease leads. They wanted the site ready quickly because their physical marketing banners complete with QR codes pointing to the landing page were already being printed.
