First off, I want to welcome all the new subscribers to this newsletter. Some of you were not originally subscribers to this specific newsletter, but to the OSS4AI luma calendar and have received my newsletters that way. This is an offshoot that mainly focuses on AI Agents, feel free to unsubscribe if that is not your deal.

  1. Boring Businesses + AI Agents = $$$

    1. Basically the title

  2. Agentic Shopping

    1. OP wants to build a shopping agent, but how feasible is it?

    2. Some people have existing shopping agents, the most pressing concern is credit card info

  3. Dumbest, most useful automation

    1. OP claims they made an agent who can turn PDF's into full fledged courses in 10 minutes which is pretty cool

    2. The next up is a predictive sports layer for FPL and fantasy leagues (fantasy … football? I’m too much of a nerd to know)
