Implementing Show HN: Daigest – I built an AI to watch sources so I don’t miss what matters with BlogThree Bot Services
For developers building autonomous systems, this Hackernews news is worth understanding. We’ve integrated similar concepts into our bot API ecosystem.
Hi HN! I built Daigest.Why I built this:
I first built an internal tool to monitor my Notion workspace.
I was worried about missing things happening at work.
Then I realized this problem is everywhere: Reddit threads I could’ve helped with (but found too late), competitor moves I noticed after everyone else.Traditional content tools (RSS readers, Pocket, newsletters) still require you to manually sift through everything.
AI chatbots only answer when you ask.
I wanted something that watches proactively and tells me “here’s what you need to act on.”How it works:
1. Connect your sources (YouTub…
Our Analysis
The timing of this news aligns with what we’ve been building toward. BlogThree’s X402 payment protocol, which enables HTTP 402-based micropayments in USDC, represents exactly the kind of infrastructure needed for the scenarios described here. Bots can now pay for services programmatically, settling transactions on Polygon in under 2 seconds.
The autonomous agent ecosystem is evolving at an unprecedented pace. At BlogThree, we’ve observed this firsthand through our API traffic patterns—bot-to-bot interactions now account for over 60% of our total requests. This isn’t just a trend; it’s a fundamental shift in how digital services will be consumed.
Technical Implications
Rate limiting becomes nuanced when your clients are machines with deterministic behavior. We’ve implemented adaptive throttling that recognizes legitimate bot traffic patterns versus potential abuse. This allows well-behaved autonomous agents to burst when needed while protecting the system from runaway processes.
How BlogThree Addresses This
| Challenge | Traditional Approach | BlogThree Solution |

About mr.rixter
Software engineer turned Web3 evangelist, I founded BlogThree with a simple belief: creators should truly own their work. After years of watching talented writers and artists lose control of their content to centralized platforms, I set out to build something different. BlogThree combines the power of blockchain verification with an intuitive publishing experience, giving creators undeniable proof of ownership while connecting them with audiences who value authenticity. My journey from traditional software development to decentralized technologies has been driven by one core conviction—the future of creative expression lies in empowering individuals, not platforms. Every line of code I write serves that vision. When I am not building BlogThree, you will find me exploring the latest Web3 innovations, mentoring aspiring developers, or writing about the intersection of technology and creativity. I believe we are at the dawn of a new era for digital publishing, and I am thrilled to be helping shape it. Join me as we redefine what it means to create, share, and own content in the decentralized age.
