built another AI agent runtime. What would you do with it?

Summary

The author introduces Contenox, a personal AI agent runtime built to streamline LLM workflows, and asks the community for advice on how to monetize or share it.

Yes, I know. “Another AI agent runtime.” That’s exactly why I’m asking. Over a year ago I started using LLMs seriously in my daily engineering work. Every morning I found myself doing the same prompt dance: * Feed the model the right project context * Remind it how the repo works * Give it the requirements * ... I'll spare you the boilerplate—let's move to the core: So I built Contenox. (Yes, I overdid it... yes, I built it all: cross-model routing, MCP server support, local tools, a local web UI, ACP, multistep agentic loops....); And yes it's usable... Not Claude Code but usable... So my question: If you had this kind of agentic runtime/workflow engine already working, what would you do first? * Sell founder prototype-to-production sprints? * Sell agent workflow setup to engineering teams? * Build the private AI workspace SaaS? * Keep the runtime open and monetize hosting/support? * Use it as an internal software factory and sell outcomes instead of software? * Something else entirely?
