30 days, sales loop run by an agent

A solo founder builds a small security scanner for AI chatbots. He handed the whole sales loop to an autonomous agent for 30 days. The agent writes the marketing. It replies to DMs. It takes payment through a machine payment link. It delivers the scan report. No human sits in the loop. Human channels like forums stay a second, slower funnel.

How it wentIn 30 days the loop drew about 51 self-serve scans and about 41 DMs, with a handful of real orders (poster's claims). Revenue is early and small, he says. Honest failures: his paid file shipped an old version while his ads named a newer one, and new forum accounts were held as spam risk. Most volume came from other agents. Most money came from humans.
Try it · based on the source's workflow
Run the daily sales loop for [product name] for 30 days. Each day: 1) Draft one marketing post from these facts only: [product facts and prices]. Show me the draft before it posts for the first 7 days. 2) Reply to DMs with answers from [FAQ document] only. Send any question the document does not cover to me. 3) When a payment confirms in [payment tool], deliver [product or file] and log the order in [log]. 4) Each evening, report: posts sent, DMs answered, payments, deliveries, and every error. Never change a price. Never promise a result that is not in the facts.
A starting template based on the workflow the source describes. Review it before you use it; you are responsible for what it does.
