Google released Agent Compute Engine
. ACE is cloud microVMs for agents. Run a personal agent or a company one, pick your own harness and model. Cloud servers bill you for the time the agent is active, and it wakes up in a second or two.
Canva shipped Craft, its own image model.
It doesn't generate photos. It generates designs. Craft first writes out a design spec (element placement, visual hierarchy, the actual copy) and renders from that. The training data is a few million designer templates, not photos. On DesignArena it's #4 overall and #1 worldwide in the people and landscape subcategories. Roughly $0.03 an image, and 54 seconds to make one. Cheap, but you'll wait.
I stuffed an agent into an Android phone.
You've probably run into those short videos lately where an agent drives a phone around by itself. This one is called Mika, and it's a free open-source project. It's an Android app that works in the background through accessibility mode, so it can use pretty much any other app you have installed. Reply to someone on WeChat, scroll Xiaohongshu, drop something in a cart and check out. It finds the buttons by looking at the screen. There's no API to wire up, and it doesn't care what resolution your phone is. When it reaches a payment step or a captcha it stops and lets you finish. 🔗 github.com/wangzan101/Mika
My product went profitable, and something in me broke.
Someone on Xiaohongshu posted a while back that she sells phone keyboard skins she made with Codex. Eight, ten yuan a pack. Over a thousand a month. I've been at mine for months. October: a few hundred copies, $1,200 gross. Platform fee 30%, tax 10%, so 60% should have landed. It came to just over a thousand dollars. I still don't know how the math pulled that off. I have an overseas bank account. Once lost $500 to a wire transfer off one. I'd still tell you to take payout through WorldFirst: less hassle, lower fees. You can also get a Hong Kong USD credit card tied to it that spends your WorldFirst balance directly. Digital card is free. Physical is $4. Mainland purchases under ¥200 skip the processing fee, and right now there's 1% cashback.
