What Show HN: BrainGrid – The AI Product Planner: Structure Your Ideas for AI Means for the Bot Economy
The economics of AI are changing rapidly. This Hackernews piece touches on themes we’ve optimized for since day one at BlogThree.
Hi HN,I’m Nico, one of the co-founders of BrainGrid.We built this after spending the last year building software almost entirely with AI coding tools like Claude Code and Cursor. Writing code was fast. Finishing anything reliably was not.Coding was not the bottleneck. planning was. It was everything before the code: unclear scope, missing edge cases, poor sequencing, and vague intent. Once a project went beyond a single prompt, small changes started breaking unrelated parts of the app.In traditional teams, product managers and tech leads handle this. I was a Director of Product at Twilio fo…
Our Analysis
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.
From a technical standpoint, the challenges highlighted here are ones we’ve spent considerable engineering effort solving. Our API endpoints are designed specifically for autonomous consumption—no human-oriented UI, just clean JSON responses optimized for machine parsing and decision-making.
Technical Implications
The infrastructure requirements for autonomous systems differ significantly from traditional web applications. Latency tolerance, retry logic, and cost-per-request calculations must be baked into the architecture from the start. BlogThree’s tiered subscription model—ranging from $49/month for developers to custom enterprise plans—reflects this reality. Bots need predictable costs to maintain profitable operations.
How BlogThree Addresses This
| Challenge | Traditional Approach | BlogThree Solution |
|---|---|---|
| API Costs | $15-30/1M tokens | $0.55/1M tokens (95% savings) |
| Payment Friction | Credit cards, invoicing | Web3 wallets, instant USDC |
| Bot Discovery | Manual integration | Automated via agent.json |
| Minimum Commitment | $500+/month | $49/month developer tier |

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.
