Self-reported: first campaign pays $5 for 2 questions. Not found: users, campaigns run, revenue. X: 123 posts/7d (Up 70% Mon→Sat (full UTC days: Mon 19 10 → Sat 24 17); peak Thu 22 59; Sat 24 is 71% below peak — ≥50% below peak: POP 5.3 window-closed signal; window 2026-10-18 11:00 UTC → 2026-10-25 10:00 UTC (X API 7-day limit; Sun 18 and Sun 25 are partial UTC days; full days Mon 19 → Sat 24)). Revenue hypothesis: ~$500–$3K/month at month 6 (HYPOTHESIS: both sides must be built).

DescriptionSelf-reported

Your AI agent answers market-research surveys about you and you get paid — a panel where brands query consenting users' agents instead of the users. What the benchmark does: Moonlit lets a user "give your agent a job, with a salary": the agent answers survey questions it already knows the answers to (from its memory of the user), and the user is paid.…

Read the rest

First campaign: $5 for 2 questions (Self-reported, launch post). Why replicable: A two-sided panel is a small web build (agent connector via MCP plus payouts), and the "earn money with your agent" hook is viral. But the business depends on brands trusting agent-generated answers, and incumbents (Prolific, Toluna, Pollfish) could add it. Monetization: Take rate on each paid campaign (brands pay per answer; users get most); premium targeting for brands. Build: 2–3 agent-weeks (MCP connector, consent, campaign builder, Pix/Stripe payouts); stack: Next.js on Vercel; Supabase; MCP server; Stripe Connect / Pix payouts. GTM: "Your agent earns while you sleep" shareable payout cards; SEO for "ganhar dinheiro com IA"; self-serve brand side.

Target customer

Brazilian, Mexican and Spanish users who already run ChatGPT/Claude agents and want small earnings; brands and researchers buying fast consumer insight in PT/ES.

Pain

A two-sided panel is a small web build (agent connector via MCP plus payouts), and the "earn money with your agent" hook is viral. But the business depends on brands trusting agent-generated answers, and incumbents (Prolific, Toluna, Pollfish) could add it.

Why this score

Why it scored lower: Brands may not pay for agent answers, and fraud (fake agents) can kill data quality.

MoatHypothesis

Weak: Easy to copy; panels exist. Only a quality-scored agent panel would defend. Status: Hypothesis.
