A file service of your own, built by an agent in nine minutes

A dark blue-green landscape at dusk with the title DocTunnel and the text Built by an AI agent in 9 minutes. At the bottom a copper pipe with paper documents flying into it, a small robot on top and a little house with lit windows at the other end.

Sharing files with people outside your organisation is often a hassle. Permissions in OneDrive or SharePoint, an account for someone who wants to download something just once, or an outside service where you do not know where your data ends up.

So I had an agent build an alternative of my own. It is called DocTunnel: put files on a page, share a long link, and after the number of days you choose everything is gone. No accounts, no subscription, one program on your own server, up to 1 GB.

The build took 8 minutes and 52 seconds, cost € 2.24 at cost price and produced 97 automated checks. Autonomous AI agents designed and wrote it, starting from an empty folder.

In the video you see the real build: the terminal, the tests going from red to green, the compiler errors along the way. You also see a 1 GB upload in 1.7 seconds over the real address. And what this means for working with agents: who decides, what can go wrong and what it costs.

The video is in English and runs 31 minutes.

Want to work out something like this for your own organisation? We can look at that during an Expert Day.
