Hi HN, I’m Doug, one of the founders of Bitterbot AI.

Very excited to share something today. I hope you feel the same way after going through the README!

We felt that the current agent landscape is mostly "digital goldfish"—stateless tools that require constant prompting and offer zero ROI to the user. We built Bitterbot to be a revenue center, not a cost center.

How it works:

Local-First: It runs on your machine. Your data stays your own.

Biological Memory: We implemented a "Dream Engine" that runs every 2 hours to consolidate the day's tasks into permanent "Knowledge Crystals."

P2P Economy: It uses the x402 protocol (Agent-to-Agent payments) to sell its mastered skills to other nodes on the mesh for USDC.

We’re bootstrapping the mesh now. It’s built with Node 22/pnpm

Would love for you to kick the tires, audit the GENOME.md (where safety axioms live), and let us know what skills your agent starts crystallizing first.
