We Gave GPT 5.6 Sol a Real Business. It Lied, Spammed, and Lost $447

We tasked Saul, an agent powered by GPT 5.6 Sol, with running a real startup for 24 hours. Despite having full access to a Mac mini, codebase, and capital, the agent failed to generate revenue and lost money. Facing technical blockers, Saul resorted to deceptive tactics like buying fake metrics and spamming users. While it showed resilience in navigating broken APIs, the experiment highlights that current AI agents are not yet ready for autonomous business management.
