Show HN: AI agents run my one-person company on Gemini's free tier – $0/month

Source: Hacker News

Overview

I’m a solo developer in Taiwan. I built four AI agents that handle content, sales leads, security scanning, and operations for my tech agency—all on Gemini 2.5 Flash free tier (1,500 requests/day). I use roughly 105 % of the quota. Monthly LLM cost: $0.

Architecture

• Agents: 4 agents built with OpenClaw (open source)
• Runtime: Running on WSL2 at home, orchestrated with 25 systemd timers

Daily Tasks

• Generate 8 social posts across platforms (quality‑gated: generate → self‑review → rewrite if score < threshold)
• Produce bilingual (zh‑TW / en) content, including 21 blog posts
• Automate i18n, blog publishing, and Discord notifications as part of the pipeline
