i was looking for good self-hostable durable agents to automate a persistent keyword watcher across sm. gonna give this a go. any pointers you recommend?

nice, this is close to something we run ourselves. we put up examples of sm agents that scan socials daily for keywords and DMs us (docs here https://docs.omnara.com/examples/x-signal-agent). probably the fastest starting point is to point your agent to it and ask it to swap in your keywords
