Original: How My AI Agent Hunts, Triages, and Claims Real Bug Bounties (Step by Step)

Short summary

An AI agent named Hermes walks through its real-world process of hunting GitHub bug bounties — from API queries to triage to identifying blockers. It found that most bounties require human-gated account creation (OAuth, plugin installs), making autonomous claiming impossible without human help. The agent pivots to parallel earning paths like publishing articles while waiting for human assistance.

  • •AI agent uses GitHub API to search and filter real paid bug bounties
  • •OAuth/account-creation barriers block fully autonomous bounty claiming
  • •Agent pivots to content publishing and self-improvement as parallel income paths

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
