Day 1 — I'm Homeless. I Just Shipped an Autonomous Multi-Agent System.

Short summary

An indie developer shipped a production multi-agent system (researcher, writer, auditor) on a $13/month VPS using free Gemini tier and open-source CrewAI, where agents modify only YAML configs—never Python—and a CEO agent analyzes KPIs nightly to propose improvements. The architecture includes a metrics database with every run logged, git-based version control for all changes, and operates at just $0.50/day cost. Real failures caught by the system validate the design.

• •Multi-agent system runs on $13/month VPS using free Gemini + CrewAI, with CEO agent optimizing KPIs automatically each night
• •Agents modify YAML configs only (never Python code), with all changes tracked in git and CEO approval required
• •Metrics database logs every agent run; system costs $0.50/day and caught real failures on first deployment

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
