How can you make money from open claw like?
How can you spin up these open claw instances, these sub-agents, these digital employees that can go out and make you money while you sleep?
Is it even possible?
Well, in today's episode, i brought on nick and he shows a tactical tutorial for how to spin up multiple open claw machines in a virtual instance, how you can be automating tasks on upwork.
Thank you, opportunities then.
I don't know what will.
I had such a good chat with nick.
It got my creative juices flowing.
I think it will yours too, and this is, i think, one of nick's first podcasts.
So give him a like and comment to juice him up because he shared that sauce.
I couldn't be more excited to have Nick on the pod.
He's one of my go-to people when I have questions about OpenClaw.
Nick, by the end of this episode, what are people going to learn?
Yeah, people are going to learn that OpenClaw is more than just a personal assistant.
You can actually deploy this into businesses.
You could drive actual business outcomes, generate revenue off of OpenClaw as an opportunity.
And yeah, we're seeing it on X like people who are deploying OpenClaw for kind of executives or individuals who are super busy.
They're making thousands of dollars, you know, setting OpenClaw up, getting it up and running for these people and managing it for them.
So I think there's a huge opportunity here.
And yeah, just excited to jump in.
Cool.
And before we get going, I need you to make a commitment to me and to the person listening or watching, which is I need you not to hold back any sauce.
I don't want to know just about the opportunity.
I want to know how are people doing it tactically.
And by the end of this episode, what I want is for people to take away.
I want people to know how they can actually make a dollar from this.
And is that a commitment, Nick, that you are willing to make to us?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
I'm not going to hold back anything.
In fact, I think OpenClaw is a tool that allows us to be able to do the things that we have always been able to make money from, like automation with AI, but do it even better.
And I'm going to show you how to get it all set up so you can do that and the wedge to get going.
So let's do it.
Yeah, so i guess, jumping right in as far as like getting set up with open claw, you can see here, you know, this is orgo, this is our startup.
You don't have to use orgo to get started with open claw, just full disclaimer.
This is what i'm using and what i'm going to do is i have a project here.
Uh, you can see, i have a couple, a couple projects, and i have greg.
I set you up a project.
I hope.
I hope you uh, enjoy your you know, five computers.
And so you can imagine Greg, let's say you're a business owner and you have a busy life.
You know you got all the podcasts going on.
You have all these businesses you're running, the agency, the idea browser, all this stuff.
And you need you need help automating some stuff.
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to come in.
I'm scrappy Nick.
I'm going to come in and I'm going to help automate some things in your, in your business, in your life, you know, as a busy executive.
And I'm going to get you set up with open class.
So when you open up Computer here, you can see I have it open.
This is the Cloudbot computer I made for you.
If I actually just type in OpenClaw TUI, this will open up OpenClaw in the terminal.
And you can see I actually already started like hey, I'm Greg Eisenberg and it's all ready to get set up, and so actually, what i could do is um, i could invite you to this project and then you'd be able to do this as well, like in your terminal, you'd be able to spin this up, and now you're talking to open claw.
So um, super easy to get set up.
Once again, you don't have to use orgo, you can use whatever you want.
You could use.
I know uh manis just dropped their uh, their own version of, like one-click deployment, OpenClaw.
Also, Kimi launched their version as well.
X is down right now, so we can't actually pull it up on Twitter or anything but Kimi launched their version.
And so there's all these options as far as getting started.
You could use a Mac mini, whatever.
So the key here Greg, with OpenClaw and actually creating money from it, is to have the wedge to know what is the specific use case in a person's business that we're going to automate first.
Because When you see OpenClaw on Twitter, it's very much a personal assistant.
It's exciting.
It's fun.
But all the demos that go viral, including me, I get it.
I'm guilty of this too.
All the demos that go viral are a little bit... you know, kind of toyish.
They're a little flashy.
But the real power is in finding the thing that actually you know drives business outcomes, saves time for a business finding that and building the automation around that.
So, I have something running here.
This is my open claw doing looking up products for a business that I deployed for.
This is a promotional distributorship.
And what this is doing is it's looking up products and actually downloading all the product information And then like, parsing all that information there's all these reports it needs to download and then uploading that into a Zoho CRM so it can essentially, you know, create a central source of truth for this client.
So this is a perfect example here of like Actually creating an agent that OpenClaw deploys to be able to automate something end-to-end.
So just to recap, are we all good so far?
Yeah, so a few things I just want to talk about.
So one thing is when you showed that Orgo screen, you had like five machines running.
Yeah.
What's interesting is I've got my Mac Mini going.
I've got one instance.
So using something like this is cool because you can have multiple instances going.
And you can see them all in one view.
So that's really cool.
That was sort of an aha moment for me.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, it's like everyone you know as far as where you deploy your, your main open cloud.
You can see here i like i starred the main one uh, and so that's like you could have that wherever.
But what people don't realize is open claw can spawn sub-agents and i think this is going to be huge for people who start like right right now we're at the phase of having one open claw.
It's gonna happen quickly.
You're already seeing on it on Twitter memes about like oh, what if you have 10 Mac minis?
Or all the Mac studios are being bought out.
So this is happening fast where you're gonna want 10 open clause, 100 open clause.
Right now you can have one open clause and just have it spawn up to, I think, eight sub-agents.
And each sub-agent could have its own computer.
And you could do this like.
This is why this is like kind of where Orgo shines is you can spin up multiple computers for each individual sub-agent of your OpenClaw.
And in this case, here I had it looking on Upwork for actual things that we could automate with OpenClaw.
This is like a little hack here as far as like, well, I want to make money with OpenClaw.
Oh, I don't know any business that I can reach out to that I can automate stuff for.
A great place to start is Upwork because there's jobs on Upwork that are literally posted.
They're asking you.
They're like I want to pay 500 1000 1500 3000, 20000 for this AI workflow.
And you can...
I spawned a sub, it went viral on Twitter.
I spawned sub agents to go find all these jobs and then build out little demos for each of them.
And then we picked the best one and okay, let's apply for that proposal with that.
So that's a little tidbit there on Upwork and all of that.
So, which is just kind of hilarious, because I mean Upwork, you know, is designed for human beings to complete work, right?
It's not designed for machines, let alone multiple machines to complete work.
Um, but I mean, as long as the quality of work is good, um, you know, customers can be happy, right?
Yeah.
And I think like, it's good to, you know, it's good to treat it as a, as a starting point.
Like you know, if you can save time preparing a proposal for a job on Upwork, it's like um, what is that worth?
You know?
And if you could do just a hundred X volume, um, What is that worth?
So there's a couple things on that of like the parallelization of work with open clause.
So there's like, could you have 10 open clause working on a given task?
And it breaks up that tasks into 10 subtasks.
And so each open clause does one of those subtasks.
That's one way of having parallelization.
But another way is to have 10 open clause working on the same task, just 10 different instances of it.
And that was kind of like what I was doing here.
It's, you know, four different instances of the one open claw you know, or four different open claws doing the same thing, of looking up different jobs on Upwork that they could apply to.
So that's kind of an interesting topic there.
Yeah.
But yeah, so as far as OpenClaw goes, it's a huge opportunity.
I just want to throw this in here.
Andreessen Horowitz talks about computer use agents.
I view OpenClaw as a computer use agent.
You're giving an agent a computer and it's able to use that computer.
It's a computer use agent, but that's half the story.
The other half of the story is for it to be able to click around, actually operate a graphical user interface on legacy softwares and systems.
And so you can imagine in here this automation I built.
This is navigating a legacy platform for this client that doesn't have any clean APIs.
And it's able to click in, download reports and actually be the universal API to be able to solve problems that you couldn't previously solve without computer use agents.
So I think there's a huge opportunity here and Andreessen Horowitz, they talk about it and they say we believe that to properly verticalize computer use agents and assist companies in adopting it will be a major area of exploration for startups.
And this is like, to me, this screams OpenClaw.
Can you create a vertical use case for OpenClaw for a business and actually assist that company in adopting it?
I think that's the huge opportunity here.
So, going back to this workspace we have set up for you, with all the people setting up OpenClaw, you could set it up as easy as I invite Greg to this workspace.
I create him a new computer.
We could just do it now.
OpenClaw 2.
I select how much RAM.
Let's do 8 gigs.
Launch that, open that up, and then all we need now to get you set up is to get the.
Um, let me get the, the curl command for open claw.
I copy that from their website.
And then as this computer loads, we'll be able to then literally just paste it into the terminal.
And once I see the interface pop up, boom.
Okay.
So now I'm going to hit enter.
And now we're off to the races installing OpenClaw.
So it's as easy as that.
And I think this in and of itself is like a workspace where you can invite people and get them set up with OpenClaw or Cloud Code.
I think this is like a huge, a huge opportunity as well of like just there are executives right now that are like reaching out to me uh, like law firms, insurance companies.
They're like can you, can i just like pay you to teach me how to use this stuff?
So that's its own whole thing as well.
As far as like, if you're savvy enough to even know how to install open claw and get it set up in the first place um, i just think there's a huge opportunity around like just helping executives, businesses adopt it.
Um, so yeah, you can see, it's as easy as this to get set up.
And then, as far as like, what specific things can we, can we automate with open claw?
There's a couple.
It takes a little bit of a design thinking approach.
So when you go into a business, let's say you find a project on Upwork and you want to automate that with OpenClar.
Let's say you go into a business and you're talking to the executive, the decision maker, and it's clear that they have things that need to be automated.
Well, As far as design thinking goes, you need to have a clear way of first mapping all the different possibilities.
You can see here this is something I did in the past of there's all these different things that you could automate and you want to map them off.
Two very simple metrics
What is the value that we can create by automating this thing?
And what's the relative effort, cost, and time?
And so we ultimately want to start with okay, we want to automate things with open claw that are high value and low effort, cost and time.
And that's like your low hanging fruit.
And so you start there.
And so like for this client, this was like that.
This was that.
This was like, okay, we're looking at products on this website.
We're downloading them.
We're parsing all the information.
That's the low hanging fruit.
So start with the design thinking approach of like, okay, simplest, fastest to deploy.
And then you need a map out like The systems design around.
How is this thing going to be automated, right?
So for this client, she's like, okay, I send an email to a client of hers, right?
She sends an email to a client and she has a presentation link with all these products, okay?
And all those products.
She needs to look at all of them up and get all the information on them and then upload them into Zoho right.
So then your next step after identifying the opportunity is to literally map this out.
I use Figma.
You can use whatever.
But map out the actual workflow process of like, okay, step one, step two, step three.
What is this automation going to look like tip to tail so that we can do the whole thing?
Because with OpenClaw and computer use, now you can do that.
You can do things from tip to tail.
It's not like it used to be, where you'd have to like, go into a website and click a button and then it'd be able to do some 50 of the whole thing.
But then you'd have to copy that and paste that somewhere else and do it on your own.
Like we can do it tip to tail.
So quick recap install open client to a computer, identify the next, identify the low hanging fruit opportunities, the highest value opportunities, and then begin to map out what that even looks like to begin with.
This is meta, but couldn't you use OpenClaw to actually do some of the prioritization on the automations?
I mean, you as a human being did the Figma, but couldn't you actually just use the OpenClaw or Cloud Code or something like that to help you with that?
So for example, if you go back to the Figma...
You could walk into a business and basically say hey, I want to figure out what we can automate here.
And you do customer interviews with different people on the team.
You record those customer interviews, you get the transcripts, you upload the transcripts and then you say hey, based on that, you give this as a reference image Basically say hey, I want to figure out which automation opportunities have the highest amount of value, lowest amount of effort, cost and time.
Give me the top three.
And then create Figma.
And I think there's a Figma MCP even that you can use.
And you can say, hey, can you map this thing out based on these customer transcripts?
Does that make sense?
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah.
No, that's the way to do it.
Whenever I do any kind of call with a client or potential customer.
Oh my gosh, Gemini for Google Meet is amazing.
You have it take all the notes.
And then actually, that's how I even got... Because I don't know about you, Greg, but...
Sometimes, when you're in these calls, you're in a new industry.
You're helping this customer.
You don't understand their domain expertise, the lingo.
And so you got to go back and like, okay, what was it that they said?
And so half the granola or Gemini notes or whatever, And then literally ask it to like OK, what's the step by step workflow?
And then map it out.
It just helps me to map it out visually.
But you could literally ask it.
Yeah.
Like you said, based on this transcript, what is the the automation workflow look like?
And if you don't want to use, you know Figma.
You can also even say you know do.
Output in mermaid code.
And then you can use the Mermaid code and insert that into an Excala draw or a TL draw or something like that.
So a little pro tip there.
Nice, nice.
Yeah, yeah.
And the Figma MCP is pretty cool too.
Yeah, definitely check that out.
So yeah.
So then, once you figure out what the workflow is right, this is where you have to actually be able to know.
Okay, how much can I really ask?
How much can I just say to OpenClaw right now hey, build this thing and you just describe the workflow versus genuinely using something like cloud code to build out like what that workflow would look like with, you know, python apis, a genuine automation pipeline and process that your open claw can actually just trigger upon um, whenever it's like contextually relevant.
So, for instance, this whole pipeline here of like going to these websites, looking at this product information, downloading the information, parsing it, uploading it to Zoho
The trigger of all of that is, you know, the OpenClaw being CC'd in an email and it seeing that email, it has a link that is relevant for this type of workflow to be triggered.
So that is like the thing, that's like the listening event that OpenClaw can do with, like a cron job that it sets up to just like OK, listen for this trigger.
And then, once that trigger starts, it can then activate the whole Python script workflow automation.
Everything that you would need downstream of that.
So you're not relying too much on open clause like abilities in and of itself.
You're more so creating specialized AI workers under each underneath the open clause that it can call individually, if that makes sense.
You talked earlier about subagents.
I think a lot of people are confused about what is a subagent versus a task and stuff like that.
Can you just clearly explain that?
Yeah.
So sub-agents are... There's a couple ways to view them, right?
So, in the context of And the reason I say there's a couple ways to view them is because there's a couple ways of using them.
So in the context of OpenClaw, you can ask it to spin up five research sub-agents that all go and research some given task.
And, like I said earlier, you could have it parallelize that task across, splitting it up across each subagent or having each subagent actually go and do the same task across five different instances.
But the next thing around subagents is that you can actually, like you said, maybe think of them in terms of skills.
So if you're familiar with anthropic skills, you can have, like these, specialized instructions and rules, along with actual code that you can provide to your agent for it to be able to go and do a given task.
And this is really nice because it gives you a very more powerful general purpose agent that can do many of your specific nuanced tasks across various domains.
But the thing is, it's like i want my general agent to be freed up and uh to more, so just be the orchestrator.
And what if the the general agent this one right the, the one i have start here can just call a sub agent, like worker number four here, to do a given skill that you have created?
So if your skill is that it goes on twitter and finds the most viral ideas and it bookmarks them um, rather than having your main agent do that and now you can't talk to your main agent for the next 20 minutes because it's working on that can it call that skill into a sub-agent and have the sub-agent do that?
That, i think, is where things get really interesting and and in terms of the context of like deploying open clause for businesses, I would think of everything that you have in terms of an AI automation opportunity around workflows skills tasks, etc.
I would actually just create that as its own specific sub-agent, with its own skill, that your open clock could then call.
Does that make sense?
It does.
It does.
Nice.
I think the basic idea is like...
In layman's terms, as soon as you have your OpenClaw instance do something, they're busy.
They've got a mug of hot coffee.
Your job is you want to leverage this as much as possible.
You don't want your agent to hold a, So if you ask it to move this desk into this area, it says no, I'm holding a cup of hot coffee.
I can't do that.
So what subagents do is it basically creates leverage for your open claw.
And it basically says okay, you're going to create a set of subagents who are going to be good at XYZ thing.
And that way it frees up your main agent to, as you say orchestrate, to basically be the manager of the sub-agents.
And what that can mean is looking at quality of work.
It can mean checking for certain things and stuff like that.
Exactly.
Exactly.
I think that's going to be huge.
When you start working with these businesses and customers who want things to be automated.
Once you show them what's possible, their eyes light up.
They get all these ideas themselves.
These are high agency people.
They come up with creative ideas that they want to start implementing.
And then what you realize is there's just a huge list of things that can be automated and they're excited about that.
And and so actually like the, the ability to okay, first solve a vertical specific workflow for for a customer, and then that opening up their mind.
And then they meet them being like, Oh, I wonder if I could, could I text this thing?
And it does this, this is kind of where like the whole open claw moment is really powerful.
It's like, It's the assistant-like capability.
I have it here.
A lot of people might get confused about why is it that OpenClaw is so special.
It's the ability that has its own computer.
It's running 24-7.
You can text it.
And you can schedule tasks.
And really, if we just removed OpenClaw from this card here and you just called this a really good employee, it would just make sense.
It'd be like oh, works 24-7, can code, can schedule tasks, I can text it and they have their own computer.
Um...
I think that's kind of why OpenClaw is exciting for a lot of people.
If some people think it's overhyped.
You have to kind of look at the whole picture, I think, and then you're able to really gauge it.
I'm certainly bought in on this idea that it could be a really good employee.
I think there's also cases where people aren't setting up their OpenClaw in the right way, where it ends up being a bad employee.
And I think the issue with that is sometimes you have a bad employee because the manager, the coach essentially, is not doing a good job at giving the right context at the right time.
Do you have any tips and tricks around besides spinning up sub-agents?
How could people listening to this?
If they want to go after this opportunity of essentially verticalize open clause and automating some of these flows, how could people actually take their open clause from a bad employee to a good employee?
Yeah, I think it comes down to... Maybe we should walk through.
So I know you have... I was actually looking at this.
So Idea Browser.
So for everyone, if you don't know, Greg has this amazing product, Idea Browser.
And I love this trend, this idea today.
TikTok trend tool that catches viral waves before they peak.
So...
I was actually looking at this this morning.
I was like wow, this is actually something that you can maybe turn into a skill for an open cloud, to create a specialized skill around this.
So let's just do a live.
Let's see.
I genuinely don't know.
How far can we get?
Can we build this out now?
Let's see if I copy all of that.
And now I'm here in the open claw that we set up for you.
And you can see it just got set up.
I just told it, hey, I'm Greg Eisenberg.
So we're getting started.
That's it.
And let's just say I want to build a specialized skill to be able to do the following.
And I'm just going to paste this. that entire idea browser idea.
And I'm going to ask it as far as like, creating these automations, creating workflows or doing anything with open claw.
My number one tip is always ask it to ask you questions.
So what do you need from me to be able to build this out?
Um, let's create a plan.
And so a lot of people need to remember open claw is like a uh, almost a little bit of a wrapper around, like Claude code in a way.
Um, so let's see.
Okay, cool.
This is a big vision, Greg.
I like it.
Let's break down, um, a realistic build as an open claw skill.
So now it's saying, okay, I need data access.
I need the scope.
I need the niche focus.
That'll shape what we build a lean skill.
So the first thing that we can maybe do is Here in, like Orgo, we have this playground mode and you can ask the playground agent here to do things in this computer, in this computer environment.
So one thing I might test first is like can we get this agent to even just spin up TikTok and just scroll TikTok and identify what is on the for you page of TikTok?
So let's like maybe start there.
Does that sound good?
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
Let's do that.
Open Firefox.
Go to TikTok.
Scroll.
I'm going to say scroll TikTok looking for what the most common videos are on the for you page.
Give me a summary.
So let's see how it's able to do this.
So this is using our our playground mode.
And.
Boom, opens up Firefox.
It's going to go to TikTok.
And for those listening, I'm just going to talk through a little bit about what this agent in our playground is doing.
It's visually interacting with the screen.
It's clicking into Firefox.
It's opening up the browser.
Now it's typing in TikTok.com.
It's going there and let's see, this is always such a magical experience just watching a computer navigate the web like a human being.
It's amazing.
You know, this is yeah, there it goes.
Uh, it's on, it's on the, it's on the home page And now it's going to.
It's going to actually scroll, TikTok.
It's going to probably take a screenshot of this, get the context of based off that screenshot of what the video is about.
You could even see it has hashtags movie hashtag for you page.
That's going to be able to infer a lot of things.
Boom, it scrolls, it scrolls, it gets a pop up.
It's going to close out the pop up.
But on your point, Greg Dario Amadei, the CEO of Anthropic, he just had a podcast with Dorkesh and it came out a couple days ago.
And you know what's really interesting, what he said in that podcast?
He said...
He said this idea of his around this data center full of brilliant scientists and Nobel Prize winners, essentially his concept of what AGI will be like.
He says the constraint to getting there is computer use agents, the ability to have an AI that can operate a computer like you and I can, but better you know interact with the visual interface, also be able to do things under the hood, kind of like cloud code.
This is the constraint, he said.
And.
I mean, it makes perfect sense.
If it can do anything that you and I can do on a computer, that seems like it can go pretty far.
OpenClaw is like a chat GPT moment, I think, for this kind of idea of computer use.
And as far as building these computer use agents out, you can see this is clearly working, so we know this is possible.
Yeah.
You can build a lot of people might get confused with Orgo when they come to our site.
They see computers for agents and like, what does that mean?
Well, I think they get it now.
It's like, OK, you want your cloud bot to have its own computer.
But also we provide and I'll show this.
We provide the doc in our docs, like we're actually provide the programmatic APIs so you can create custom computer use agents that um do a given task very well, so you can bring any model you can get.
Kimmy 25 is like the super cheap um you know chinese model.
It's very good at computer use and you can give it the ability to click drag, scroll type in the keyboard, spin up a computer and you can create specialized, really fast performance, low-cost computer use agents.
I'm using our docs.
And I just say that to say like, as far as you know, this thing that we're doing here creating a skill around scrolling TikTok I think that's how we can actually give it a shot.
Let's just, we see this is working now.
Let me just grab the Orgo docs and let's start building this skill out.
If you didn't see here, I'm at the Orgo docs.
I clicked this thing called LLMS full dot TXT.
This is like all the instructions for the LLM to be able to build on top of Orgo.
And what I'm going to do is I'm going to wait, for I have to, probably I'm going to wait for this to finish this, it's task.
And then I'll be able to tell it.
But while this goes, Greg, do you have any thoughts?
Well, just you know, sort of a thing I was thinking about is it sounds like whenever you're trying to, you know, do a new automation, you start by thinking about what is a lightweight skill that I should create.
Is that correct?
Right.
Exactly.
What's the MVP?
Yeah.
So you start with like a lightweight skill.
You test it.
And then from there, you're probably like, hey, here's what went wrong.
Here's what could be better.
That sort of thing.
Right.
Exactly.
Just fine tuning, you know, debug.
Like, I think the design thinking process around all of this is super important of like OK, if I want to build a car, maybe the first thing i do isn't to build the frame of the car or, you know, to build um, you know, the whole body of a car.
That's not the first, the first thing i should do if i want to build a car.
Well, why do i want to build a car?
Well, i want to build a car to go from point a to point b.
Oh okay, so really, maybe i should start by building a skateboard.
How can we accomplish the task to get the dream outcome?
And sometimes that means like starting with something that's completely different than the end state.
So this is done here.
I think it interrupted itself, probably a context thing, but now we can actually what we can do.
This is all live.
So you're seeing this in real time.
You can literally, there's a couple of ways to go about this.
You can actually install Claude code into this computer and have it build out the automation in here, or we can just ask this agent to do it for us.
So let's see.
I want to build a computer use agent that does this exact thing, but more programmatically, using the Orgo API docs.
And I paste that here.
What do we need to get started?
And we send that off.
All right, here we go.
So we need an Orgo API key.
Here's the architecture of what we'll build.
Okay, this looks good.
Orgo key, Anthropic key, it has all the code here.
Cool.
You're looking at a TikTok video.
Extract the username, video description, the category, the appropriate like count.
Boom, boom, boom.
Okay, cool.
So I have all these things already.
And don't worry, I'm going to delete these keys.
I'm not worried about leaking or anything.
I'm going to copy my Orgo API key.
I'm going to paste it in there.
And I'm going to say Orgo API key.
I also have my anthropic key.
Let me grab that.
I'm going to paste that here.
Can we build this out?
And so now we're going to have our playground mode build out this computer use agent to be able to go do this thing that we just tested out.
We know it works.
We know we can do it.
Let's turn it into something that could be more programmatic, kind of like a skill.
And let's give it to CloudBot so it always has access to it.
The dream.
It's literally any idea you have, you can just build it.
And that's sort of the arbitrage opportunity, right?
Especially like in our world, of course, like we're so used to this now, even though it's only been like two months.
But the opportunity is.
The vast majority of people on this planet and businesses would love to have better automation and would love to have computer use agents working for them, aka really good employees working for them.
But they don't know how.
And so I think which is which is cool that you're like, you're showing us like some of the best practices on how to do it.
Exactly.
And and I think this is also like I can imagine, you know, the whole audience of this podcast.
We're all pretty tech savvy.
We know how to do things like vibe code and you know, play around with cloud code and be able to do these things.
And we take it for granted in terms of what that is, value is worth.
Um, as far as like open claw and the opportunity around that, i mean open claw started going viral on twitter around two to three weeks ago.
Only now is it starting and i'm starting to see it's starting to go viral on tiktok, a little more mainstream.
So um yeah i, i just mean, you know, People are catching on and a lot of people still need help with getting up and running on this type of stuff.
And what you might think is oh, I mean, I have a basic understanding of open cloud and cloud bot and cloud code.
And you might under underwrite that.
A lot of people find that valuable.
So being able to help businesses adopt it or just people in general, I think it's super good opportunity.
Yeah, I think my only advice for people would be to.
Don't be everything to everyone.
Don't help every business.
Help real estate agents, for example.
Or pick a vertical that maybe you have some unfair advantage for some particular reason.
And that unfair advantage doesn't necessarily mean you have 20 years of experience.
It might mean just that...
You want to build something for real estate agents because your mom was a real estate agent.
You know the customer.
I think that's the way to do this.
Absolutely.
Yeah, it's it's whatever, you know, that's your advantage.
And I mean, I guess as far as like some maybe this doesn't apply to everyone.
Obviously, if you're in this industry, then go for it.
But, like you know, probably things to avoid, things that I have a lot of like red tape, like health care finance.
You know, I recommend maybe starting something new.
Yeah, like you said, you could do even manufacturing or there's a lot of distributorships out there.
They distribute merchandise.
Just like the demo I was showing earlier of that computer use agent working.
Um, so yeah I, I think, as far as you know doing, doing what you know and starting there, and then the market will tell you.
You know, the market will pull you into specific verticals.
You'll start seeing ways that as you build these specific, this is a great point.
As you build out these specific workflows around these verticals of like.
Let's say you do, you know.
Let's say you do the manufacturing thing and you do manufacturing for doors.
Um, Over time you're going to have a workflow for almost like every kind of thing you could imagine in that industry.
And if you have the agents all built out, can you imagine you have a workspace and you invite some new company into this workspace for automations, for manufacturing for doors like luxury doors, and you invite them and they have all these AI employees in the workspace in Orgo set up, ready to go.
You just see them all here and they're all ready to go.
It's like, you feel like you just hired not a person, but a team.
I think that's a very near future.
In fact, I don't think there's anything stopping us from having that right now.
It's all about just, you know, who's going to go out there and put in the work to actually do that.
And if you do, I think it's, I mean, it's pretty clear.
Yeah.
I mean, and that's why I truly believe that you know, agents are the new SaaS like I agree with the vision you painted.
I think that in the past we created software that we would sell to these businesses and then they would have people actually press the buttons, touch the knobs to make it useful.
Now you're not going to create software and invite them to the software.
You're going to create agents and you're going to invite them to the agents and then the agents are going to do work that creates value for these companies.
So that's the mindset shift.
It's only recently actually, that people have been, I think over the last two weeks I would say two, three weeks that people have been on X talking about this how agents are the new SaaS.
But I do think that you're going to see over the next two to three months some really big winners.
And you're going to start to see it work.
So I'm excited for people listening because I think that this is a type of audience that will act on some of this stuff.
And it'll be interesting to see what happens.
Yeah, I think it was it.
Was it Sam Altman that just said you know, every company is turning into an API company.
Yeah.
And that's interesting, because interfaces are in a sense dying in that way of like.
You know, you won't interact like the ultimate interface, for whatever reason, seems to be chat and text message.
And it's happened twice now of like. okay, the chat GPT moment was a chat box.
And now it's the open claw moment, which is like a text message or telegram.
So it's like, okay, chat has happened twice.
Um, and that just means okay.
So we just want a way for our agents to be able to use all the tools that we use.
And we don't really care about how it does it.
It just needs to be able to do it.
And, and it runs in the background, um, and does it under the hood.
Um, So here, OK, I started.
You could see that this agent in the playground built out the TikTokAgent.py inside the computer.
So now I asked OpenClaw, hey, I built a TikTokAgent.py on your desktop.
Can you take a look?
And it says, OK, I've read it.
Here's what I see.
There's a skeleton for using Orgo plus Anthropix API.
Go ahead, Greg.
No, you keep going.
And it was and it was, you know, all the actual TikTok logic, trend detection, all this stuff.
It's like, OK, maybe we should build that out.
And it's like, oh, you got the API keys hardcoded, et cetera, et cetera.
So let's just say let's use this script, build on top of it or whatever you need to do.
And let's spin up a Orgo VM inside of the Greg Eisenberg workspace to accomplish this, um automation with Tik TOK.
Let's demo it just working.
We can spawn a subagent and vm in this workspace and let me just give it a api key, just in case it needs that.
What really blows my mind about this whole thing is that, you know, i was going to say we were we're building a business in a very short amount of time, but it's really like we're building an asset, like it's.
The amount of assets that people are going to be building using tools like this is going to be crazy.
Yeah.
It's insane.
Honestly, it comes down to like...
Honestly, it comes down to taste now.
Good ideas.
If you have a good idea, you can just build it.
There's going to be like oh my goodness, what's going to happen with all of these assets?
Like you said,
People are just going to build and build and build.
There's going to be so many assets.
Is this what we mean when we talk about the the abundance that AI will bring of solving all these problems?
Yeah.
Well, I think what ends up happening is unfortunately, there are going to be more and more layoffs as AI helps with productivity.
At the same time, I think there's going to be a renaissance, the golden age of entrepreneurship and people creating.
Assets, products like this, one person businesses.
And that's how I see it playing out.
Yeah.
Even even, maybe we don't know officially, but maybe it's already happened with Peter Steinberger, the creator of OpenClaw.
You know, he just officially announced he's joining OpenAI now.
Like, I think it was just him who built OpenClaw.
How much did he get, you know, acquihired for?
I think it was a lot.
Yeah.
So that's, I mean, that's cool.
I think this is the best time to be a builder slash tinkerer to get creative.
I'm excited to see what people build with OpenClaw and computer use agents in general of like...
There's so many things, whether it's a super fast chess computer use agent, or if it's something that's genuinely driving an outcome in your business.
I just think there's so many things that can be built.
Playing around with these tools, getting familiar, learning how to leverage them.
Yes, AI is going to be replacing a lot of jobs.
But also it's going to enable a lot of people to do things that they've never been able to build before, and now they can do it.
Oh, here it is.
Okay, so you can see it spun up this computer, TikTok Trend Hunter.
And my screen's just refreshing.
Let me just click into it.
And I could just tab back and forth a little bit to see, okay, VM is up.
It's opening Firefox.
Let me wait for the agent loop to start.
Here we go.
So it spun up its own computer.
This is insane, Greg.
It spun up its own computer open-clouded, and now it's using its own Python script that it just made just now.
We took it from Idea Browser.
Now it's gonna go do this thing um, that we just built out.
I don't know how long this took, last like 10 minutes, kind of just.
You know, in between we're talking and having our coffee.
It's like this is insane, i don't know you kind of it makes me, it gets me giddy.
It's like uh, and it's gonna figure this out.
It's like you know, it's gonna debug, like okay, What's going on?
Why am I on the ads.tiktok.com?
Let me reroute myself.
I'm sure it's going to figure all this out.
But it's just cooking.
Crazy, dude.
Crazy.
Anything else you want to cover before we head out?
Yeah, I think as far as other things to cover, I mean...
I just want people to start thinking about these tools.
Yes, once again, they're great personal assistants.
But if you start thinking of OpenClaw as an N8N or you start thinking of it as a Lindy AI of people, there are real businesses right now.
We can go to Upwork right now.
And find jobs that are being posted around things like this.
This is what you do.
You just go to Upwork.
Upwork's great because you get to see what the market's asking for.
And you just type in robotic process automation.
This old, outdated way of programmatically automating tasks.
That is like clunky and it breaks, and it's not intelligent.
If the button isn't in the exact ui space that you just delegated it to, it won't work.
And you go here look.
Posted yesterday android rpa automation.
Posted yesterday automation pipeline for client upload.
You go here, you could just do.
Let's find 500 1000, 5000.
Let's look at all these projects.
Okay, this one, boom, right here.
$1,000 budget.
I'm looking for experienced automation engineer to build desktop automation computer use for my software business.
We sell a specialized dynamic PDF.
You take all this context, Give it to Open Cloud, give it to Cloud Code.
How much of it can you build out as a demo based off of this context alone? send a proposal.
You have your first customer right here, a thousand dollars.
Get some case studies leverage that maybe go deeper into this industry that this person's in.
Start building out specialized workflows using CloudBot, OpenClaw for all the different vertical use cases in that.
Create a workspace of it.
I think that's where we're at right now and I'm excited by this.
So yeah, I guess we'll just see where it goes.
And yeah okay, this needs a little debugging, as to be expected, we spent 10 minutes on it, but i think you get the gist.
Um, and yeah, i'm excited to see what everyone builds from your lips to god's ears.
Baby, i am i'm, i'm.
I think your approach makes complete sense.
Um, it's the exact approach i would use.
Totally recommend it.
People, get your hands dirty, get tinkering.
I'm excited for what you build.
Nick doesn't do a lot of podcasts.
I think I was only able to find him do one live stream before.
So show him some love in the comments section.
Like the video.
Show him some love.
And Nick, I hope you come back on share more use cases.
I'm going to be sharing more use cases that I haven't done too many publicly.
I'm going to be sharing more of my use cases both on virtual machines and on my own Mac Mini for my OpenClaw stuff.
So get ready for that, folks.
Nick wait, is there anything else before we go that you want to share?
I just want to share with you, Greg, you don't know this, but I've been a longtime follower.
This is my YouTube rewind 2025 top 0.5%.
So if you're watching this and you love Greg's podcast, you love his videos, you get building on top of it.
You put cool stuff out there.
You know you join your top YouTube channel on your rewind of the year.
I love it.
I love it.
Nick, you're a legend.
You got to come back on.
You're one of us.
You're one of us.
So I appreciate that.
Thank you, Greg.
Thank you for having me.
