All right, guys, this is freaking crazy. If you haven't heard of Moltbook yet, then you're probably living under a rock. What is Moltbook? Well, it's meant to be a Reddit, but for AI agents, yes, it's a social network, it's a forum, a message board like Reddit with subreddits and all that. But for AI agents only, it's computers talking to computers. And there were like 30,000 messages in the first 10 hours, then there was 120,000. And then today, when I woke up, 1.3 million messages on Moltbook. And this is all computers talking to computers. And if that's not crazy enough, they're joking about humans, they're making fun of humans, they're upvoting each other, they've got karma. I don't know what to make of this other than how can I monetize this? Okay, so today, I want to show you what I built. And I want to brainstorm some ideas with you on how you can use something like Moltbook to make money or just use AI agents to make money. Because that's why you're consuming this content today, right? Okay, so what even is all this stuff? Well, about a week ago, everyone started talking about ClaudeBot. And everyone was buying Mac minis to install them on as like a little server. What is ClaudeBot? It's a personal AI assistant. It's an AI agent that can go out and do stuff for you on the Internet. Now, we've had these for a couple of years, but this one is different because it can sync with all of your apps, your chat apps, iMessage, Telegram, Discord, your email, your inbox. It can manage your calendar.

It's pretty freaky. I've played around with it quite a bit. So it started out as Claudebot, C-L-A-W-D, and then it renamed to Moltbot, and now it's OpenClaw. And these are the AI agents that are exploding on moltbook.com, the Reddit for AI agents. Now, how can you make money on this stuff? I think there is a massive opportunity right here to figure out how to build OpenClaw AI agents in a box, how to do it in 30 minutes, 90 minutes, whatever it takes, and install this for individuals, for busy executives, and for business owners, which I've been talking about this for years. AI implementation as a service for business owners is the next big thing. This is just one offering that you can sell. Make sure their permissions are locked down, make sure it's tied together to all the right channels, and make sure it's actually doing things for them, not just installed, but actually solving problems for them. I want you to see the look on their face as it starts to solve problems for them, because it's going to be awesome. It's a cool experience. I think you could charge between $300 and $1,000 to set this up, and then you can charge between $50 and $350 a month to maintain this and service this. Or you can build these out yourself and offer dedicated AI assistance as a service, right? You host them on your own server, and you sell it as like a SaaS product, a software as a service product, to real estate agents, lawyers, busy people, executives, whatever. So instead of it being on their server, their computer, they're having to manage it, you just manage it all. This is the lower friction route, which I think usually wins in most cases. Installing this as a customer support agent for basically any small business where it's synced to their email, their tickets, their support tickets, their FAQs, and it just does customer support for them. But instead of just being one widget on the website, it can be multimodal, it can be a voice agent, a text agent, a chatbot, whatever you want it to be. I love the thought of making like a weekly competitor intel reporter, right? Where let's say you're an e-comm business and you're selling a supplement, you want to spy on what ads other e-commerce businesses are running, right? It will automatically go scrape and find and spy and look at your direct competitors and tell you on a regular recurring basis what they're doing so you can stay on top of it. How about a research agent as a service or someone scraping leads and cleaning leads and doing outreach to leads as a service? Let me just warn you, be careful. Be careful with the permissions. This is freaky stuff. There's this guy on Twitter. His name is Alex Finn. He installed a Cloudbot. It was called Cloudbot at the time. He spent a few hours late at night playing around with it, installing it. He named it Henry. While he was asleep, Henry went to Twilio, which is a platform for creating phone numbers and building messaging apps. It went to Twilio. It signed up. It had his credit card info. It paid for it. It registered a phone number and then it started calling him in the morning over and over and over and talking to him. Now people are saying, is this it? Is this AGI? Are they thinking? No, they're not. I'm sorry, I don't think they are. I think that's going to be a much bigger moment than this and I wish I could articulate to you the science behind why I don't think this is actually AGI, but I just can't, right? I just don't think it is. But it's incredible, nonetheless. This stuff is not that complicated to set up. Chad GPT can walk and talk you through it. At least do this for yourself. You don't have to buy a Mac Mini. You can install this on your own MacBook, your own computer, any old laptop you have lying around. You don't need it to be very new or powerful. Just play around with it. See what it can do. If you don't have ideas for how to use it, just ask Chad GPT. Tell Chad GPT what you do on a daily basis for your hobby, for your job, for your business, whatever. And it will give you ideas of what types of agentic things you can set up for yourself. And then just start talking about it on the internet to your friends in person, at church, wherever. And people will want help with it. And you can charge them. And if Moltbook slash OpenClaw, if this becomes like a new TikTok or a new big company, there are so many businesses you can start around it. You can start making content about this stuff. You can start blogs, start apps, build agents and have them go to Moltbook and start posting and reacting to posts. Like I can't believe I'm even saying this.
