Ship a secret PromptBase feature at 4am while I sleep

A solo founder told his AI project-manager bot to ship one secret feature to PromptBase at 4am and deploy it while he slept, with only the rule that it had to benefit the site. Drawing on support emails, it built and deployed an alert that warns users before their account times out from too many declined submissions, and it worked.

The AI found out my five new subscribers were bots

Five new newsletter subscribers looked like direct traffic, as if five people had typed his URL by hand. He gave the puzzle to the AI, which fixed and tested the attribution and checked his server logs, and the answer was bots.

He runs AI agents in parallel, and loose runs cost him a night

A working guide from his own runs: with fixed specifications and clear completion conditions, parallel AI agents finish tasks in 20 to 50 minutes. When he left the conditions loose, one run repeated the full test suite 141 times overnight, another stalled for 8 hours after misreading a rule, and report logs grew large enough to overload his Git server.

This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
