Why would anyone build with this?

REASON 1

Get a text alert when a crypto wallet receives or sends a transaction above a chosen dollar amount.

REASON 2

Get a plain-English risk summary for a smart contract address before interacting with it.

REASON 3

Watch a pricing page, job board, or terms of service page and get notified the moment it changes.

REASON 4

Turn a spreadsheet of email addresses into an enriched list with names, titles, and company details.

Wtf does this do

Paysh Agent Recipes is a collection of ready to use scripts that run small automated tasks and pay for their own API calls as they go, using a service called pay.sh. Instead of signing up for accounts or managing API keys for every tool a script needs, each recipe funds itself with tiny fractions of a cent through a per request payment system built on the Solana blockchain. Each recipe lives in its own folder as a single script, and comes with a demo mode you can run without spending any money, an example of how to trigger it, and a short writeup. The topics range from crypto related tasks, like watching a wallet and texting you when a transaction crosses a certain dollar amount, tracking when a stablecoin drifts away from its intended value, or auditing a smart contract and returning a plain English summary of its risks, to general web tasks, like watching a web page for changes, sending a daily digest of news on topics you follow, or turning a spreadsheet of email addresses into an enriched list with names, job titles, and company details. Several recipes combine more than one paid service into a single result. One recipe takes a wallet address and produces a full due diligence report by pulling together an audit, market data, on chain activity, and social mentions into one summary. Another takes a company website domain and returns a one page brief combining background information with recent news. To try any recipe, you first fund a wallet with a stablecoin called USDC through the pay.sh service, then set a handful of environment variables the script expects, and run it. Most recipes let you test the whole workflow first in a dry run mode that uses a canned response, so you can see what it does before spending anything real. The project is released under the MIT license, so you are free to use, modify, and share the code, including commercially, as long as you keep the copyright notice.
