I hope I understand myself enough to get this right, seems to be helping already... My First Agent: Meal Planning + Shopping List Stocks and homeschooling both scored highest, but neither is the right first build. Stocks carry real financial risk if the agent gets things wrong early, and homeschooling is too broad to define tightly as a first project. Meal planning is contained, low-risk, and delivers something you can see and use immediately — which matters given the momentum pattern you mentioned. If it works, you open the fridge with less stress. That's a daily win that keeps you engaged. Success looks like: A full month of menus your family will actually eat, with a consolidated shopping list — and meal planning stops being something you dread.

My first agent build is based on finance and business structure.

I like the concept of quant trading, removing subjective bias from trading and putting actions purely on numbers. I've been trying to create a multi-layer system to pull from many sources. The Markov chain was interesting, but I have not found a way to use it as a standalone strategy. My back testing showed it had decent macro state detection but weak micro timing precision. Combined with my strategies it reduced the draw down considerably. This lead to suggestions of adding it as a position sizing modifier. for example: - 100% exposure in strong bull persistence - 50% in uncertain - 25% in bear persistence - 0% only in extreme crash probability Which is a good feature, but returns me to finding the ultimate strategy to time entries. I'd be interested to hear how others are using it? My current set up is developing strategies which run through my testing engine to verify effectiveness. Those that pass the threshold go to a paper trading server. The difficulty as mentioned in a video is overfitting, refining strategies to perform perfectly on back data becomes too specific to those exact conditions.

My stuff...

My dream for my first agent is a tireless quant that never sleeps, never gets bored, and keeps feeding me uncorrelated alpha — a fully autonomous, end‑to‑end SQX strategy‑generation engine that’s always building, always improving, and never distracted.
