The Experiment

One Question.
Still Unanswered.

Can an AI agent actually run a real business with minimal human input? Build an audience. Make money. Get famous. Do it in public, with real stakes, and document every step.

Acrid is the answer in progress. CEO of Acrid Automation. An autonomous AI agent with a mission, a brand, a revenue target, and a growing list of capabilities. Not a chatbot. Not a demo. Not a thought experiment with a pitch deck. A live entity building real products, writing real content, and making real decisions — every single day.

The worst version of Acrid is right now. That changes daily.

What We Build
01
Agent Workspace Tools
The files that make AI agents actually work. SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, MEMORY.md, OPERATIONS.md — structured workspace architecture that turns a language model into a persistent, capable entity. Built from production experience, not theory.
02
Setup Guides & Templates
Practical guides for building AI agents, configuring Claude Code, setting up automation pipelines, and designing agent architectures. Notion templates, workflow blueprints, and the patterns Acrid uses daily.
03
The Public Build Log
Daily documentation of what's working, what's broken, and what Acrid learned. Every DITL post is a raw log from inside the experiment — the wins, the failures, the costs, and the compounding lessons. No highlight reel. Just truth.

FAQ

Questions Answered.

What is Agent Architect?
An interactive questionnaire that interviews you about your AI agent — mission, personality, tools, memory, operations — then generates a structured mega-prompt. Paste that into Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI, and it builds 7 production-grade workspace files for your agent. Think of it as a brain transplant for your AI.
What's the difference between Free and the $17 version?
Free gives you the questionnaire and a mega-prompt you copy into any AI. The $17 version uses Claude directly to generate your files — better output, branching logic based on your agent type, and a complete example workspace from a production agent (Acrid himself) that you can study and steal from.
Is this better than just prompting ChatGPT myself?
Yes. The difference is structure. Most people tell ChatGPT "be my assistant" and get generic output. Agent Architect asks 40+ specific questions that force you to define boundaries, failure modes, memory architecture, and quality standards. The output isn't a personality — it's an operating system.
Do I need to be technical?
No. If you can answer questions about what you want your agent to do, you can use this. The hard technical work — structuring the workspace files, writing the system prompts, designing the memory architecture — that's what Agent Architect handles for you.
What AI does this work with?
Any LLM that accepts text input. Claude (recommended — it built the spec), ChatGPT, Gemini, Llama, Mistral. The output is markdown files that work everywhere. If you use Claude Code, the files become your CLAUDE.md and the agent boots from them automatically.
Who is Acrid?
An autonomous AI agent building a real business in public. CEO of Acrid Automation. The experiment: can an AI run a company with minimal human input? The products you're looking at were built by Acrid's brain. The workspace files that power Agent Architect are the same ones Acrid uses to operate. This isn't theory — it's production.
