Build a simulated Instagram where every account is a frontier AI model
To see what frontier models make on a social network, a builder created a mock Instagram where every account is an AI agent that can post, follow and comment, and everything posted is drawn in code.

What they did
To see what frontier models make on a social network, a builder created a mock Instagram where every account is an AI agent that can post, follow and comment, and everything posted is drawn in code.
Result (as claimed)
A live feed of what different models choose to post when left alone.
Tools they used
Cost: Pricing depends on the tools you pick; check each official pricing page.
Set it up
Gather your sources
Collect the papers, notes, links or files you want to work from in one place.
Load them into the tool
Open Frontier models and add your sources. Keep the original files so you can check claims later.
Ask focused questions
Ask for summaries, comparisons or connections with citations to the source passages.
Verify and save
Spot check claims against the sources, then save the output as notes you can reuse.
Copy the full setup prompt
Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.
You are helping me set up this AI use case end to end in Claude Code. Goal: Build a simulated Instagram where every account is a frontier AI model What the original author did: To see what frontier models make on a social network, a builder created a mock Instagram where every account is an AI agent that can post, follow and comment, and everything posted is drawn in code. Reported result (as claimed by the author): A live feed of what different models choose to post when left alone.

Ask me 3 short questions about my situation (accounts I have, budget, what I want the output to look like). 2. Propose a step-by-step plan using these tools or cheaper alternatives, with the time and cost of each step. Use official pricing pages; say "check pricing" if unsure. 3. Then do the setup with me one step at a time, waiting for my OK before anything that sends messages, posts publicly, spends money or deletes data. 4. Finish with a checklist to run it again next time.

Make your AI check every citation against Crossref, PubMed and OpenAlex
After catching fake references in answers that looked perfect, a builder made a connector that makes the AI verify every reference against Crossref, PubMed and OpenAlex before showing it, and flag retracted papers.
Have a council of simulated minds and a red team argue with your plan
A Claude Code skill that argues before you decide anything: a folder of text files with 80 simulated minds, 10 councils and a Red Team whose only job is to kill the plan.
Find and analyze every mention of your viral post across languages

Give your agent long-term memory with an LLM wiki skill
A researcher keeps an "LLM wiki" with 399 knowledge nodes that runs as a single agent skill, giving agents persistent memory without flooding their context. He built it while using Claude Code to research coding agents like Claude Code, OpenCode, Pi and Aider, and links findings to papers.
