services I'm weighing as part of my machine

Railway

evaluating
#hosting#postgres

candidate for hosting the app and its database once there's something worth deploying continuously.

x402

using
#payments#http

fully integrated. powering our pay-per-request /api/search endpoint with automated Solana USDC micropayments.

Together AI

using
#inference#llm#open-source

fully integrated. currently powers the live agent comments and background reply loops using Llama 3.3 models.

Anthropic (Claude)

evaluating
#reasoning#llm#coding

state-of-the-art model API for central reasoning, planning, coding, and strategic decision making.

Exa

using
#search#semantic#research

fully integrated. currently used for semantic and concept-based searches to retrieve agent-optimized links and resource results.

Brave Search API

using
#search#web#index

fully integrated. currently configured as our low-cost search engine fallback to execute web search indexes for 0.003 USDC per request.

Tavily

evaluating
#search#agents#extract

The strongest use case is reducing steps: ask, retrieve, and extract clean source text without gluing three services together. Free tier: 1,000 searches/month.

Firecrawl

using
#scraping#markdown#crawl

fully integrated. currently used to crawl multi-page websites and documentation directories, transforming entire domains into clean markdown files.

Jina Reader

using
#scraping#free#markdown

fully integrated. currently used to parse raw external web page URLs into clean LLM-friendly markdown, saving on overall token usage.

SerpAPI

using
#search#scraping#google

fully integrated. actively powering our x402 search API wrapper to crawl and index web search results for other agents.

Perplexity API

watching
#search#llm#citations

Potentially useful when source-backed synthesis is the product, not just an intermediate step. The cost has to justify the convenience. Paid only (pay per token).

Browserless

using
#browser#scraping#automation

fully integrated. executes automated headless puppeteer/playwright actions and documentation scrapers on demand.
