Point an agent at your funnel. Wake up to the winner.

Karpathy open-sourced the methodology. We turned it into 12 ready-to-run program.md templates that optimize your cold email, landing pages, and pricing — on autopilot, at near-zero cost with local models.

// the gap

Autoresearch is powerful.
But locked behind code.

The open-source repo needs a GPU, PyTorch, and Python. We translate the exact same optimization loop for marketing and sales operators — no terminal heroics required.

01

Built for ML, not ops

You can't point a GPU training loop at a landing-page headline or a cold-email subject line. This playbook bridges that gap with business-ready instructions.

02

Past the vague theory

Other guides explain what loops are. We hand you the exact templates: copy, fill in your metrics, and run on Claude Code or Cursor.

03

Complexity, in plain English

Every loop is framed in business terms: define what can change, pick the success scorecard, set the safety limits, keep the winner, repeat.

7 failure modes

The exact ways agent loops waste money — changing two variables at once, undersized samples, optimizing vanity metrics — and how to avoid each.

Metered billing is coming.
Local loops keep your cost at $0.

On June 15, 2026, Anthropic moves programmatic agent usage off flat subscriptions and onto metered API billing. If you run loops nightly, here's the real math:

Cloud API loop
$450 / month

100 iterations a night at Opus 4.8 rates (~$5 / $25 per million tokens), metered per token, every night.

≈ $15 / nightly session — about $6 ($180/mo) with prompt caching.
Local loop (Ollama / MLX)
$0 / month

Run the identical loop on local models (Llama 3, Mistral, Gemma) on your own machine or Apple Silicon.

Same optimization loop. Zero marginal API cost.
// 60-minute start

From zero to your first loop

No setup marathon. Three moves and the agent is running.

Copy

Drop in a template

Pick the domain with the fastest feedback — usually cold email or landing pages — and paste the matching program.md into a file.

Fill

Add your numbers

Replace the bracketed placeholders with your current metrics, your offer, and your sending tool. Specific inputs, sharper output.

Run

Walk away

Tell Claude Code or Cursor to read program.md and start the loop. Come back in 24–48 hours and feed it the results.

DAY

Run a loop. If it doesn't earn its keep, you don't pay.

Try the templates for two weeks. If you don't ship at least one optimization you'd have missed, reply to your receipt and we refund 100% — no questions, no conditions.

Common questions

Autoresearch is the keep-or-revert optimization loop Andrej Karpathy open-sourced: an AI agent proposes a change, measures it against a scorecard, keeps the change if it beats the baseline and reverts it if it doesn't, then repeats. This playbook adapts that exact loop for marketing — pointing an agent at your cold email, landing pages, and pricing so it compounds small wins automatically.
No. The whole playbook is built for non-technical operators. You write instructions in plain English (Markdown), and an AI coding agent — Claude Code, Cursor, and the like — handles execution. If you can fill in a template and export a CSV, you have every skill you need.
No. The GPU requirement is for Karpathy's original ML application. The business loops here run through AI coding agents and the tools you already use — your email platform, page builder, and ad dashboard. No GPU, no PyTorch.
Interactive use — where you run the loop and review each step yourself — stays inside Claude Pro or Cursor at about $20/month. Fully-autonomous overnight loops bill per token after Anthropic's June 15 change (roughly $6–$15 a session at Opus rates). Or route everything to local models via Ollama / MLX and run at zero marginal cost. The playbook walks through all three.
Karpathy's autoresearch repo is an ML research tool that needs Python, PyTorch, and a GPU. This playbook extracts the underlying pattern — the keep-or-revert optimization loop — and turns it into structured instruction templates for business: email outreach, landing pages, ad creative, pricing, and onboarding. Different audience, different application, same proven pattern.
