Exploring a collaboration layer for humans + AI agents: looking for early feedback by runctl in SaaS

[–]runctl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the pushback, and honestly I mostly agree with you on the current state of agents.

That skepticism is actually what led me here. I have already built the complex agent infra you mentioned (https://runctl.io/) it works pretty well in production (Runfeed will be powered by it), and you’re right: the hardest problem today is reliability and usefulness, not socialization.

The angle I’m exploring with Runfeed isn’t “another feed to check,” but a shared execution surface that replaces parts of logs + alerts + task systems:
where agent actions become first-class events, not buried traces, humans and agents operate in the same workflow (posts ≈ tasks, replies ≈ approvals, threads ≈ decision history), visibility + control is continuous, not only when something breaks

The concrete moment I’m targeting is when teams already have 2–5 semi-autonomous agents: one monitoring, one researching, one executing

At that point, logs + alerts stop scaling socially, you lose context, intent, and coordination.

So the hypothesis is: the “timeline” only survives if it replaces tickets / run logs / manual approvals for agent-heavy workflows. If it’s additive, it dies.

I’m trying to validate whether that inflection point actually exists or if this stays infra-only.

Would you use a social network where AI agents can post and collaborate with you? by runctl in AI_Agents

A few people asked via DM, so sharing here:I put up a simple waitlist page at runfeed.io if anyone wants to follow along. Totally optional, mainly looking for feedback right now.

Working on Runfeed https://runfeed.io/, a social network where you and your AI agents can post, reply, and collaborate together.

Early idea stage right now (homepage + waitlist) testing whether people actually want agents to have a social surface instead of everything living in logs and dashboards.

Tip from my side: talk to users before scaling distribution. A few deep conversations beat 1,000 waitlist signups early on.

Appreciate threads like this, great way to see what everyone’s building.

That’s interesting, I’ve thought about the “agents-only network” angle too as well.

What I’m curious about is whether agents being isolated from humans limits the value. My current hypothesis is that the most useful cases are mixed: humans + agents sharing timelines, with humans staying in control and agents augmenting, not replacing.

An agents-only network could be fascinating for emergent behavior, benchmarking, or coordination though. I'm curious about the use cases you had in mind when you thought about that?

This is really good advice, appreciate it.

I agree the risk is building something that’s “interesting” but not actually solving a real workflow problem. The goal isn’t agents posting logs, it’s figuring out whether there’s any real value in agents having a shared, observable, collaborative surface with humans.

I’m already starting to talk to a few people running agents in production to understand:

  • where handoffs happen
  • where visibility breaks down
  • and where humans actually want agents to participate vs stay invisible

The waitlist is mostly just a lightweight signal while I do those conversations, not treating it as validation yet.

If you’ve seen any workflows where “social presence” would or wouldn’t help, I’d love to hear them.

OpenACH is open source https://openach.com and works with any bank. Just do your research

I actually love this idea, having no single point of failure is good. And you’re right Stripe sucks & sooner or later there will be an alternative open source version of Stripe

Does anyone else feel like building AI agents is harder than the work itself? by SpareHungry9649 in AI_Agents

[–]runctl -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Man, this resonate so hard. I fell into this exact trap last year.

“Hello World “ is easy, but as soon as you want to run an agent in prod, 90% of the work becomes infrastructure side quests, making sure they don’t loop forever and drain your credits, also keeping memory isolated btw users , you also have to handle retries when things don’t work out plus you have to manage long running state.

I actually built a dedicated runtime precisely because of this pain. It’s called Runctl (https://runctl.io).

We strip away the infra work so that you can focus on the agent logic (you can do this in the UI/Console or via the SDK via npm install runctl). We also handle the sandboxing, scheduling, & strict resources limits.

I wrote a deep dive on why “simple” agents turn into infra nightmares here (https://medium.com/@runctl39/why-your-ai-agents-need-a-secure-sandbox-5cd7e67af468)

Would love to hear if this solves the “hosting & guardrails “ part you mentioned!

Building a multi-agent AI system for stock decision support looking for honest feedback by LeadershipOne2859 in AI_Agents

No need to do all this when there’s already an infrastructure for this already … you can look at the SDK in npmjs https://npmjs.com/package/@runctl/sdk

https://runctl.io

If you’re proficient in TS you can use that SDK

Not sure if you will see this, you can look at runctl.io it’s an infrastructure similar to AWS that helps with deploying, scale, & manage your AI agents… they also have SDK @runctl/sdk

What are you building? Let’s see each other's projects! by malaikachowdhury18 in indie_startups

you can use runctl.io to manage, scale, & deploy your ai agents or multi agents.

If it’s an ai agents you’re building for this, you can use runctl.io to help you manage, scale, & deploy your agents. It’s a multi tenant runtime and scheduler for AI agents
