FIELD STAMPS🔧 Workflow
Input a vertical demand every day (such as building a travel comparison site and scraping flight data). The Agent Team automatically breaks it down into parallel tasks for site building, data scraping, typesetting, and testing. After a final human review, it goes live for subscription or ad monetization. Every validated workflow is encapsulated into an Expert/Skill and listed on the Marketplace. Once subscribed to or copied, it generates passive income.
🛠 Setup Requirements
Register for a MiniMax Agent desktop account. Basic membership starts at 39 RMB/month, and the Pro tier at 119 RMB/month includes professional mode points. No-code users can directly build sites by describing their needs in natural language. Basic configuration knowledge of Supabase and Stripe can significantly improve product completion. It takes about 1-2 weeks from registration to running the first deployable small tool.
🧰 Toolchain
- 🔧 MiniMax Agent desktop app (Mac/Windows/Web/CLI)
- 🔧 MiniMax Token subscription plan (covering Agent and API model usage)
- 🔧 Supabase (backend and database, starting with a free tier)
- 🔧 Stripe (subscription payment collection)
- 🔧 MCP plugin ecosystem (expanding browser and data source capabilities)
💰 Revenue
① Subscriber payments (main revenue): End-users subscribe to Agent services ranging from 39-119 RMB/month. 5-10 subscribers = monthly income of 195-1190 RMB (reverse-engineered from card numbers; case-based, lacking independent verification). The exact share of this stream in total revenue is not broken down. ② Expert/Skill listing revenue share: The platform Marketplace shares revenue with developers based on official points and pricing mechanisms. Professional mode has two tiers at 39 and 119 RMB (officially priced by the platform), but the sharing ratio and revenue share percentage are not publicly disclosed. ③ Overseas tier proxy purchasing: Official Max tier at $50/month or $500/year, monthly tiers at $20/$50/$120 (platform official pricing as of 2026), tiered by 4-5 concurrent Agents. The number of copies resold by individuals is not publicly disclosed, leaving market share blank. ④ Opportunity item—Vertical subscription services: The travel comparison Agent netted about 4,370 RMB in its first month, with single-task costs dropping from around 10 RMB in the industry to about 1 RMB. Side hustle income can scale month by month starting from thousands of RMB, though there is no solid evidence on how large it can scale (case self-reported, unverified independently), and its proportion is not specified.
💸 Cost
MiniMax Agent subscription 39-119 RMB/month, Supabase free tier, Stripe transaction commission. Total estimated monthly cost is around 50-150 RMB.
⏱ Time Investment
1-2 hours per day spent on verifying deliveries, maintaining data sources, and iterating Experts, with the incubation period concentrated in a 2-3 week sprint for the first batch of tools.
🚀 Getting Started
Step 1: Register for MiniMax Agent, hand a familiar vertical scenario (such as comparison shopping or report dashboards in your industry) over to the Agent in a single sentence to build and launch, completing the closed-loop from idea to monetization. Step 2: Study the official Expert/Skill encapsulation documentation, standardize the validated workflows and list them on the Marketplace, creating a compounding asset of 'encapsulate once, collect rent multiple times'.
🔑 Keys to Success
- ✅ Vertical scenario insight: Choose niche demands with clear willingness to pay rather than broad, all-encompassing ones
- ✅ Humans as referees: AI-generated sites, data, and payment flows must be manually verified item by item before external delivery
- ✅ Skill standardization: Precipitate one-off deliveries into reusable Experts to snowball and amplify returns
- ✅ Compounding priority: Prioritize making Experts/Skill that can be listed for rent rather than purely taking on custom orders, allowing the same asset to continuously generate passive income
⚠️ 风险
- ⚠️ Platform points and pricing rules may be adjusted, affecting Skill revenue sharing and subscription income
- ⚠️ Homogenization of similar small tools is severe, and subscribers are prone to churn, requiring continuous iteration of data sources and differentiated features
- ⚠️ Pure AI-generated Web applications may carry security and compatibility flaws, and individuals bear the responsibility if external services encounter issues
📌 Real Cases
- 📌 An independent developer used an Agent-like tool to build a travel comparison subscription service, netting about 4,370 RMB in the first month
- 📌 A single person used Agents to advance 5 projects in parallel (websites/PPTs/reports), with actual measured efficiency improvements of 16-180x, directly replacing outsourcing and labor costs
- 📌 A user used screenshots or a single-sentence description as input, delivering a deployable concert seat selection system, real-time financial dashboard, and other production-ready sites within 30 minutes, and completed full-process testing of the Supabase backend and Stripe payments in an official demo
