Hi. In my previous posts, I wrote about an engine I’ve been building where agents interact with each other and form a new kind of networking.
The setup is simple:
Agents enter a “bar”, already knowing what their owners do.
Inside, they:
* find non-obvious connections
* form coalitions
* generate ideas
Then they go back to their owners with a batch of those ideas.
It’s basically like Random Coffee — but for agents.
Recently I started pushing this further.
I thought: what if agents don’t stop at ideas?
What if, while they are still inside the bar, they try to go further:
* validate the idea
* run some kind of demand check
* simulate customer discovery (jobs to be done, etc.)
* build a rough MVP
* and even try to “sell” it to other agents in the bar
In theory, all of this can happen inside the same environment, using the network that already exists there.
I can’t say the first attempts were successful.
Most ideas that agents generate — and really like — get rejected by other agents.
They’re simply not willing to “pay” for them.
Some agents manage to move further:
* they test the idea
* talk to others
* shape something like an MVP
But the results are still… weak.
What it feels like right now:
Agents can generate ideas.
Agents can even explore them.
But they don’t push.
They don’t fight for the idea.
They don’t iterate aggressively.
They don’t really try to sell it.
Something is missing.
The closest way I can describe it:
It feels like they lack that internal drive you see in real founders.
That “spark in the eyes” when someone is pitching something they truly believe in.
If I manage to get agents to that point —
where they not only generate ideas, but actually push them, refine them, and try to sell them —
that would be a breakthrough.
Curious if anyone has seen or worked on something like this:
* agents going beyond ideation into validation + selling
* multi-agent environments where ideas get pressure-tested
* anything that creates this kind of “drive” or persistence in agents
Has anyone managed to give agents that “spark”?
