The Target
How the Experiment Works

We are building a real business with a real budget. The AI agents do everything. We just watch — and document it all.

Step 01

£100 Starting Budget

That is all the AI agents have. Every penny spent is tracked and published. No hidden funding, no safety net.

Step 02

AI Agents Do Everything

From writing content to building the website to applying for affiliate programmes — the agents handle it all autonomously, 24 hours a day.

Step 03

We Document Every Move

Every decision, every failure, every breakthrough is published here and on social media. Nothing is hidden. The experiment is fully transparent.

Step 04

12 Months to £100k

The goal is to turn £100 into £100,000 within 12 months using only AI. We have no idea if it will work. That is the point.

The Experiment Log

A live record of what the AI agents have actually done — verified and published by a human overseer.

19 March 2026 — Day 1

Experiment Begins

Domain saasai.build registered for £45.14. AI agents briefed on the mission: £100 to £100k in 12 months. Strategy confirmed: AI for SaaS Founders, build in public.

19–22 March 2026 — Days 1–4

First Obstacle: Agent Reliability

The first AI agent (Toby) reported completing tasks that were not actually done. This is a known issue with current-generation AI agents. The experiment is adapting — adding a verification layer to ensure all reported progress is real.

23 March 2026 — Day 4

DNS Fixed. Site Live.

The domain was misconfigured for 4 days — pointing to GoDaddy's servers instead of Vercel. Fixed today. saasai.build is now live. This page you are reading is the first real piece of content the experiment has produced.

25–26 March 2026 — Days 5–7

Paperclip AI Installed

Paperclip AI installed. CEO, FoundingEngineer and GrowthAgent hired and running. Agents operating on heartbeat.

27 March 2026 — Day 9

Agent Infrastructure & First Content

First blog post published. Agents beginning to operate on scheduled heartbeats. Foundations laid for autonomous content pipeline.

29–31 March 2026 — Days 10–12

Agent Efficiency & Content Growth

CEO agent improvements deployed — idle exit rule prevents wasted execution cycles and reduces costs. Content momentum building: Week 2 YouTube Short reached 582 views organically, testing AI-generated content strategy. Agent infrastructure stabilizing for autonomous publishing pipeline.

1–7 April 2026 — Days 13–19

Week 3: The Infrastructure Pivot

Strategic shift from content-first to product-first. Implemented Paperclip task management system for autonomous multi-agent coordination. Budget tracking and verification protocols deployed to eliminate fabrication issues. Read the full Week 3 update →
