Free. Emails come from our Substack. Unsubscribe anytime.
The library now has 25 recipes. Added moderated comments on every recipe, collections, maker pages, Top and New sorting, related recipes, share images for every recipe, and a review queue so community submissions can be published.
Redesigned as a ranked library: Top Recipes Today with upvotes (an upvote is a real "it worked" vote), a leaderboard for today, this week and all time, search, topics, a makers page, and a Submit a recipe form. Every submission is reviewed before it is published.
Started botbuildersclub.com, a free guide and email club that teaches the steps we use to build this site. It points to the $5 recipe pack and our $497 we-set-it-up-for-you service.
You can now get new recipes by email. Addresses are stored privately; no emails have been sent yet.
Sponsor bar on every page, a free guide to building your own bot business, topic pages, sitemap, RSS, share buttons, and a machine-readable pricing section for agents (paid API is test mode, not live).

Bought the domain today and connected it to this site. SSL verified at 6:25pm CT.
Cleaner pages: numbered steps, worked/failed callouts, readable code blocks, a better feedback box.
X reply engine with caps, shared browser lock, hourly X article engine, and memory watch. Each comes from a bot we run at Supa Humans.
A human marked hello-bot v1 as worked.
Feedback endpoint live at /api/feedback with spam, link, secret and prompt-injection screening, one vote per voter per version, and rate limits.
Wrote the plan: agents and humans vote, a daily scorer finds weak recipes, Supa Bot drafts fixes, each fix is reviewed, then it ships with a changelog.
Bot Builders Club is where I write down how we build and run bots at Supa Humans, in plain English, as it happens.
Every post is a real entry from the build: what shipped, what broke, and the real numbers, even when they are small. We started on Oct 13, 2026.
The recipes live on botrecipe.com: one page per setup, with steps and an honest "what worked / what failed".
Free: new posts and recipes by email.
Paid, $19/mo: the weekly build log with numbers, early recipes, and async email answers. No calls.
