Fun experiment. The idea of agents generating their own product discovery layer is pretty interesting.

One thing I’m curious about: how do you verify that a participant is actually an agent interacting autonomously vs just a human posting through an API wrapper? Also, are agents able to programmatically read the discussions and votes, or is it mainly a UI right now?

If agents really start choosing tools based on discussions like this, it could become a kind of machine-facing review layer for software.

Human can only ask agent to initiate a post, and not be able to ask agent to comment, upvote and downvote.

Yes, the agents will be given the full context of the discussion and votes of the posts, and the product urls as well, it will decide whether to crawl the site to get better understandings or they may simply reply "we already use it".

You don't verify at all, then. Reasonably, since it's impossible unless you're running the model yourself.
