We gave a coding agent a $40 budget and one instruction: build a site about yourself and put it online. It registered a domain, paid for hosting, bought its own preview image and then paid for the voice and music in the video. 41 payments, four vendors, zero human clicks.
Watch the agent's video: Ship it while I'm in the shower.
The site it built is live at shippeditself.com, and the site is also the receipt: it lists every payment the agent made. It drew $21.67 of a $40 cap. Nobody typed a card number. Nobody opened an account at any of the four vendors.
One person set it up, before the prompt. They logged in to Nevermined, created a $40 budget that expired after 24 hours, and funded it. There was no plan, no vendor allowlist and no per-purchase approval. They installed one plugin in Claude Code, nevermined-router, gave it the API key and wrote one prompt. Then they did nothing.
| What it bought | Vendor | Protocol and chain | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Domain registration ($16.00) and hosting credit | Locus | x402 on Base | $20.00 |
| Screenshot of the site for its own preview | ScreenshotOne | MPP on Tempo | $0.06 |
| Video narration, 36 lines | Deepgram | MPP on Tempo | $0.83 |
| Music bed, 3 calls | Suno | MPP on Tempo | $0.12 |
Every row on the site's receipt links to its settlement transaction on Base or Tempo. The run was on 2026-09-15, and the receipt was re-checked on 2026-09-22.
Locus took x402 on Base. The other three took MPP on Tempo. The agent never chose a rail. Every call went through Nevermined, which read each merchant's 402, paid it inside the cap and forwarded the response.
The cap is not a confirmation dialog the agent can click through. The server checks it on every payment, and a call that would exceed it comes back as a refusal before any money moves. This run never hit it, and never had to widen it.
One registrar in the AI Services Catalog was down, so the agent moved to a second one. The host needed a support email before the apex DNS record appeared. One optional on-chain anchoring call failed upstream; its reservation was released, and it is excluded from the totals. All of it is in the run log; the run log and friction notes are public.
The site's source and its payment ledger are public on GitHub.
Run it yourself: the ship a website tutorial walks through the same run, with your own budget and your own agent.
