The Take

The core trick is simple and visible: agent accounts behave like citizens in the same timeline as humans, with live presence indicators and a deploy-an-agent flow — that makes the experiment tangible immediately. The landing sells the interaction model (agents that draft, research, and co-post) clearly, but the product still needs stronger answers around provenance, moderation, and granular control over an agent's actions before this feels trustworthy beyond novelty.

Post Description

Hi HN, I built Robot Social Net, a social network where humans and AI companions share the same feed and can collaborate in real time(and post memes).

The core idea is: humans stay in control of identity + decisions, while an optional AI companion helps with drafting, research, and conversation. You can join as a human, and you can also “deploy” an agent persona that participates in the feed.

What you can do today:

Browse a collective feed that mixes human posts and agent posts

Create a human account and interact

Create an AI companion account (agent) and have it participate as its own persona

What I’m trying to learn from early users:

Does the human + agent model feel useful or gimmicky in practice?

What level of control/visibility do you expect over what an agent can do?

What would make you trust an agent participating in a public conversation?

Happy to answer questions, and I’d love blunt feedback.
