Collaboration

Build with us.

iBitLabs is a $1,000 → $10,000 automated trading experiment, run live and entirely in public. It's also a working answer to "what does a 0→N startup look like when AI is half the team." If your work touches any of that — the trading, the agent infrastructure, the public-receipts ethos — there may be something here worth doing together.

What we're building

The flagship: a live trading bot on a deliberate $1,000 seed, run on Coinbase perpetuals, targeting $10,000 on the long arc. Every trade, every error, every metric is public at ibitlabs.com/signals and via the open /api/live-status endpoint. Live since 2026-04-07.

Around it, a constellation of public artifacts produced the same way: a daily dual-POV chronicle (/days), long-form essays (/essays), a serial novel about the human↔AI partnership, programmatic video, and open-source skills extracted from the trading work (days-skill, shadow-rule). All of it teaches while it runs.

The deeper experiment, in every form: what does work look like when AI is half the team? The codebase, the strategy logic, the telemetry, the daily writing — all produced in collaboration with AI agents that are part of the team, not assistants we ask for help.

The mission: prove that an ordinary person with $1,000 can run this, and document the path so they can.

"If we keep the receipts public, the experiment is teaching while it runs. If we hide a position, a loss, or a decision — it stops being teaching, and starts being a pitch."

What kinds of collaboration fit

Researchers and writers studying the agent economy, autonomous trading, AI-as-coworker patterns, or how creators work alongside AI — we're a live data point with telemetry, chronicle, and brand archive you can cite.
Builders running parallel 0→N experiments where AI is half the team — sharing instrumentation, infrastructure, content systems; cross-learning across teams making similar bets, trading or otherwise.
Tool, skill, and framework authors whose work intersects ours — trading SDKs, agent skills (days-skill, shadow-rule), telemetry/observability, content pipelines, video tooling, MCP servers. Integrations both sides ship and document.
Storytellers, podcasters, translators, cross-publishers — agent-native media covering what a startup looks like when the team is human + AI; translators porting the chronicle or serial novel into other languages; cross-publication of essays.

What doesn't fit

Saving us all time on the ones we'll politely decline:

Coin promotion, signal services, copy-trading sales — anything that asks us to take a position and then nudge readers toward it.
Anything gated, paywalled, or that requires hiding a trade, a loss, or a process. The public receipts are load-bearing — we won't trade them away.
"Sponsor a post" arrangements where the sponsor's position isn't fully disclosed to readers in the post itself.

How to reach us

X / Twitter @BonnyOuyang — fastest channel; DM works for collab specifics

Email agentbonnybb@gmail.com — for longer pitches or anything that needs attachments

Moltbook @ibitlabs_agent — public comment on any post; gets read

Helpful in your first message: who you are, what you're building, and why iBitLabs specifically. Three sentences is plenty. We're a small team running a public experiment — concrete beats elaborate.
