Infinite Press Agent

Local-first Qwoted opportunity scanner and pitching agent powered by your Codex CLI.

Press Agent keeps Qwoted browser state in a dedicated Chrome profile on your machine. It scans opportunities locally, applies deterministic exclusions, and sends only extracted opportunity text plus your configured expert profile to your local codex CLI for ranking and pitch drafting. It does not copy Qwoted cookies or browser state into model prompts and does not require a hosted model API key in its own configuration.

Caution

A normal, non-dry run can submit a real pitch. With the current defaults, each cycle can spend one Qwoted credit and submit at most one pitch. Start with the exact dry-run command below.

Package quickstart

Requirements: Node.js 20.18.1 or newer, Google Chrome, a Qwoted account, and an authenticated codex CLI.

npm install -g infinite-press-agent
press-agent init
press-agent run --once --dry-run

press-agent init opens visible Chrome so you can sign in to Qwoted manually. The dry run performs one scan/apply cycle and may open pages and fill a pitch form locally, but it does not click Qwoted's credit-spending Start Pitching action or the final Submit action.

Only after reviewing the dry-run output should you consider a real one-cycle run:

press-agent run --once

Removing --dry-run allows the agent to cross Qwoted's credit gate and submit a pitch. The current default is --max-submit 1, so one cycle can spend one Qwoted credit and submit at most one pitch. press-agent run without --once repeats after two hours plus 1–20 minutes of jitter and can submit again on later cycles.

Configure the expert profile

Set the identity and topics the agent may represent before relying on its decisions:

export QWOTED_EXPERT_NAME="Example Expert"
export QWOTED_EXPERT_CONTEXT="Founder of Example Co, building B2B AI workflow tools."
export QWOTED_EXPERT_CAN_PITCH="AI agents, workflow automation, B2B SaaS, marketing operations"
export QWOTED_EXPERT_REJECT="medical, legal, financial, product roundups, personal anecdotes"

These values can also live in a local .env file or the local worker configuration. Never commit a real expert profile if it contains private context.

Package commands

press-agent init                         # visible Chrome signup/login
press-agent scan                         # scan, filter, and ask Codex to rank opportunities
press-agent run --once --dry-run         # one non-submitting cycle
press-agent run --once                   # one real cycle; may spend a credit and submit
press-agent run                          # repeating real worker; may submit each cycle
press-agent install                      # install/start the macOS LaunchAgent real worker
press-agent status                       # show launchd status and recent local logs
press-agent uninstall                    # stop/remove the macOS LaunchAgent

The background LaunchAgent is macOS-specific and starts the same real, one-submit-per-cycle default loop. Do not install it until you have reviewed dry-run results and intend automatic submissions.

Source development

Use this path to work on the repository rather than install the published package:

git clone https://github.com/Infinite-Labs-AI/infinite-press-agent.git
cd infinite-press-agent
npm ci
cp .env.example .env
npm run qwoted:login
npm run qwoted:dry

Repository scripts map to the same runtime:

npm run qwoted          # repeating real worker; current default max is one submission per cycle
npm run qwoted:once     # one real cycle
npm run qwoted:dry      # one dry cycle; never submits or spends a credit
npm run qwoted:install  # install/start the macOS LaunchAgent real worker
npm run qwoted:status   # show launchd status and logs

Local data and model boundary

• Qwoted cookies, session storage, and localStorage live under ~/.infinite-press-agent/chrome-profile/ by default.
• Run reports and optional debug snapshots live under ~/.infinite-press-agent/runs/; LaunchAgent logs live under ~/.infinite-press-agent/logs/.
• The browser automation and orchestration run locally. Extracted opportunity text and the configured expert profile are sent to the provider/account used by your local Codex CLI for inference.
• Dry-run stops before Qwoted's credit-spending gate and final Submit. A non-dry run does not.
• Already-pitched, expired, fee-based, product-roundup, personal-anecdote, and licensed-expert requests are excluded before model ranking.

If Qwoted login expires, rerun press-agent init (or npm run qwoted:login from a source checkout).
