Recently I've been deploying a lot of agents online, open claw and hermes, a VPS host server, to do my daily jobs of my sass and also the other things I do in general and they do it really well. Now I've automated a lot of those tasks but some of those tasks required calling somebody or SMS to somebody and for those tasks it used to get stuck. It used to ask me, "How can I do this? You call this person on my behalf?" rather than doing it, I gave my AI agent a number of himself. Now he has a number to call, SMS, receive calls, and do all kinds of things that people do with their mobile numbers.

Now I have made this particular thing for my personal use but I thought a lot of people might love this and that's why I'm launching agentline.cloud . You can go there and purchase a mobile number just for $2 a month. And give your feedback on how it works etc. I'm open for feedback and anything. I know there are some bugs but still I've made it and it's a great product, I guess.

Around 2 months back I started building a general purpose AI agent Ovalpod AI. After launching it I started applying to some startup accelerator and funds.

I just don't know what's wrong with the VC culture and the startup accelerator thing. I've applied to around 120 applications of VCs, mailed people, applied to cohorts in a lot of different places. We have a working product cheaper, faster than Openclaw and incumbents, we have traction, still all we get is rejection.

The fun part is that these startup accelerators and others have written on their site that we fund ideas at the very initial stage and they're pre-seed funds. Still what they want is a product working with hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue. If you want people to fund your idea at the pre-stage level, I don't know what the requirements are.

The catch here is that these same funds and accelerators have been funding people with neither a product nor traction but what they have is a fancy degree. I agree to the fact that they have worked hard for that degree but you should write it in your landing page that this is one of the core requirements that the applicant must be from Stanford, MIT etc..

I have attached a few of the screenshots. There are a lot more emails that I've marked so you can drop your comments and suggestions. What should I do next?

After a month of building Ovalpod I didn't get any user not even free users. It literally used to open the stats and see 0 or maybe 1 or 2 visits per day that too maybe by my friends then I came across this build in public community on X and started posting on X. Now after around 20 days of posting I am now getting 10-15 daily users out of which today I got my first paid user as well.

From now onwards I will be posting on reddit as well about my journey of building Ovalpod.
