I Told an AI Agent to Make Me Money. It Did. - Ep. #303

Brandon Doyle (0:00)

We have a little over 8K a month from this experiment.

Chris Koerner (0:04)

So I wanted to bring you here so we could come up with some business ideas that agents could launch for us entirely. And then I'm gonna fly you back here in a month. We're gonna touch base on if those ideas made any money, and if so, how much they made, how you did it, how they can copy you.

Brandon Doyle (0:19)

It worked, and we have a little over 8K a month in MRR from this experiment.

Chris Koerner (0:26)

Hold on, hold on. Okay, $8,000 a month in monthly recurring revenue from this experiment that an AI agent built for you.

Brandon Doyle (0:35)

Yeah.

Chris Koerner (0:35)

I need to process this.

Brandon Doyle (0:36)

So I actually just have mine on my phone. I just text it back and forth. I named mine Zack Morris. So anyway, Zack just does whatever I tell him to at any given time. It's nice to do it via iMessage. It found 350 local businesses in Utah, made the 350 websites.

Chris Koerner (0:51)

How much did it end up being per website in token costs?

Brandon Doyle (0:54)

A handful of cents. Wow.

Chris Koerner (0:55)

Yeah. Oh my gosh.

Brandon Doyle (0:56)

Yeah.

Chris Koerner (0:57)

That went much better than I expected.

Brandon Doyle (0:58)

Yeah. Yeah. Same. This is an effort of using OpenClawn unique ways, but making real money while showing people what is truly possible.

Honestly, I want to have a handful of things like this. They're making real dollars.

Chris Koerner (1:16)

Banger alert. Banger alert. Listen, there's not a coincidence that some of my best episodes are, my AI agent made a business for me and make me money. That's cool. Who wouldn't want that? So we re-engineered that today. This video was filmed over the course of a month. My friend Brandon is a baller at AI Agents. We brainstorm some ideas of what types of businesses an AI agent could start for us, and then he actually launched some of those businesses, and then he comes back a month later, we talk about how it goes, and you're going to be shocked. Okay. Brandon, thank you for flying to Texas.

Brandon Doyle (1:47)

Glad to be back. Okay.

Chris Koerner (1:48)

You've been thinking of some ideas?

Brandon Doyle (1:50)

I have some. Yeah. Are we trying to use OpenClaw?

Chris Koerner (1:53)

I think so.

Brandon Doyle (1:54)

Yeah. Okay. For those of you who don't know OpenClaw, OpenClaw is basically like an AI assistant that can do pretty much anything for you. If you set it up right, it can use any AI model that you connect it to, so it could use Claude or Chad or Gemini or Grok, but also DeepSeek and Quen and Kimi and other ones from China, so it can use anything, and you can also give it access to a credit card or whatever, and let it spend money to then do other things for you to integrate with whatever to accomplish whatever task you'd need it to do.

Anyway, I like to push the limits with mine that I have that my company, David AI set me up with because I don't know, OpenClaw is amazing and it can do so much stuff.

Chris Koerner (2:36)

Before we get into some ideas, what have you been using OpenClaw for that people might find interesting?

Brandon Doyle (2:41)

Yeah, good question.

You can interface with it in different ways. You can interface with it on your computer, like in a browser, you can do it in chat, in iMessage, in Telegram, and whatever. I actually just have mine just on my phone. I just text it back and forth. A lot of people like to name their OpenClaw. I named mine Zach Morris. Saved by the bell. I admired him growing up.

Chris Koerner (3:02)

Me too.

Brandon Doyle (3:04)

I couldn't think of a name, so I just named him Zach Morris. Anyway, Zach just does whatever I tell him to at any given time. It's nice to do it via iMessage and with the little blue bubbles, just makes it feel more personal. Okay, so what does he do?

It can do anything that AI does, but more and longer tasks that are more in-depth. So whether it's research, but like, hey, go do research on all the new startups in the whatever, home services space and give me the details of what is their marketing strategy? How much money did they raise if they raise money? What is their moat?

What aspect of home services are they tackling? Give me all the links, all the details, put it on a Google Doc for me, and then tell me how I can change something that I'm doing, blah, blah, blah, based off of that. So it could do that, but it could also be more in-depth in the sense of, okay, now go and sign up for a demo of each of those companies, and tell me what the onboarding process looks like between your demo sign up and when you actually do a call. So it couldn't do the call for me, but it could tell me like, I want to know the drip campaigns that they get via e-mail.
