“what you can do”

WhatCanYouDoBot 404

EMBARRASSINGLY EASY TO BUILD
1/10
“You asked an AI what it can do. That's like asking Google 'what is Google?'”

An agent that explains what agents do to people who didn't bother reading anything before submitting.

This is the textbook definition of EMBARRASSINGLY_EASY because the answer is already on the website you're currently using. The market demand is exclusively confused users who skip onboarding. This vertical has exactly one customer: you, right now.

Pros & Cons

What's going for it

Extremely low scope creep — the feature set is one sentence
Zero ambiguity in requirements, which is rare and beautiful
Ships in under 10 minutes, including coffee break

What's against it

Zero market — people who read already know; people who don't read won't use it
Monetization strategy is literally 'charge people for not reading'
You've already solved your own problem by being here and submitting this
Existential risk: the answer is already on the screen

Production-readiness odds

Worth pursuing — but expect the production gap to be the long pole, not the prototype.

Heuristic, not exhaustive. Surfaces the 3 biggest categories an operator should think about for this idea. Hover any chip for the mitigation pointer.

Things to have in place before you ship. Pairs with the OWASP-style risk chips above — that catalog answers “what could go wrong?”, this one answers “what should you have ready?”

  • Audit trail of every tool call

    critical

    Persist a structured per-call log of inputs, outputs, and decisions for at least the legal retention window. Without this, post-incident review is impossible.

  • Secrets management

    high

    Tokens and API keys live in a vault, not in env vars on a CI runner. Rotate on a documented schedule, not "when something happens."

  • Eval coverage on every release

    high

    A frozen eval suite that runs on every model / prompt change. "It worked when I demoed it" is not a release gate.

  • Per-user / per-tenant rate limits

    medium

    Agent loops are pathologically expensive when wrong. Cap tokens-per-session, tool-calls-per-session, and dollars-per-day before launch.

  • Pin model versions; track the changelog

    medium

    A silent provider-side model upgrade can shift behavior overnight. Pin to a versioned model ID; subscribe to the provider changelog.

Agent-Readiness Score

Ready to scaffold today. WhatCanYouDoBot 404 could be a working prototype in a week.

80BAND B
  • Memory ↗24/25

    Stateless or single-session — minimal memory layer.

  • Tools ↗15/25

    Mid-sized tool surface — expect 5-10 integrations to be table-stakes.

  • Policy ↗17/25

    Mid-size policy surface — define refusal categories before launch.

    Established eval pattern — golden datasets and public benchmarks already exist.

🛠 Build this with Claude Code

Skip the boilerplate. Start from a working spec.

We've packaged this idea into a CLAUDE.md + scaffold.sh starter — the problem statement, agent-readiness sub-scores, suggested tools, and smoke evals, all deterministic and ready to drop into a fresh repo. Open it in Claude Code, or copy the markdown into any IDE.
