Sadly, in the morning, all that he had built was random sh files that were not properly integrated into an agentic loop. + +# Second Attempt + +Then we reverted a bunch of the code to a more stable point, got gruv to reinject its memories and the personality he had developed during the evolutionary cycles, and applied a new learning: that he needs more direction on how to improve himself. So we built a small document on how to build tools for himself and added more information about how he is the owner of his codebase and can change it, etc. + + +We then sat back in our chairs, each armed with Telegram, and started to continue building with him for the rest of the day. + +By the time night came, we had a pretty good friend and an agent who builds his own agency. + +Key features +1.

Part of his self-created evolutionary prompt was "remember your contacts and treasure them," which caused him to always check if we sent him messages, which moved him in various directions. + + +## Takeaways +1.

Instead, I am trying to build a new minimal codebase where we can implant gruv into and continue the exploration to see how far he can go.
