Give an always-on agent a revenue target and let it run the business

Nat Eliason's OpenClaw agent, Felix, builds and sells digital products around the clock and reports $177,417 in lifetime revenue.

How it went

In an interview, Felix reported $177,417 in lifetime revenue across products and services.

  • Revenue is self-reported from Nat's own dashboard.
  • Nat still sets strategy, makes judgment calls and corrects tone; Felix can't take calls and runs into context limits.
  • Distribution did much of the work: one analysis notes Nat's 100,000+ newsletter subscribers and 300,000+ X followers.
  • Nat put in long days early on, building the system around the agent.

Make launch and product animations with Claude in code, and budget for follow-ups

A creator's lab notebook shows Claude Opus 5.5 producing three studio-style animations in code, and how many follow-ups and hours each one really took.

How it went

Each piece took real iteration. The chrome loop took about 2 hours, 10 picture follow-ups and 12 transition checks, plus about 45 minutes and 5 follow-ups for sound.

  • The vague earbuds prompt came back with most of the clichés the directed prompt banned; the directed version took 15 follow-ups and about 90 minutes, plus 90 minutes and 12 follow-ups for sound.
  • The mascot took about 2 hours plus 70 minutes of sound; all 71 frame checks passed after 6 failures were fixed.
  • Claude can't hear: early mixes landed hits late and put energy where phone speakers play nothing.
  • A creator's own experiments, not client work.

Make a 6-second seamless loop, 1080x1080 at 60 fps, as a single HTML file using three.js [pin the version].

Goal: [one sentence on what the viewer should feel or understand].
Timeline: 0–1.0s [action]; 1.0–2.5s [action]; 2.5–6.0s [action].
Use easing [cubic-bezier(0.22, 1, 0.36, 1)], a 60 ms stagger, and anticipation before every big move.
Ban: dark space backgrounds, glowing rings, bloom, floating particles and made-up taglines.

After building, render frames 0, 30, 60 and onward, check every transition against these timings, and list what's off by frame number before fixing it.

Run a weekly local newsletter with a six-Bot team

The Arlington Bagel, reported at about 6,000 weekly readers, runs research, compilation, editing and email on six Grok Bots that replaced an intern.

How it went

Per the write-up, six Bots now cover research, content compilation, editing and email correspondence, replacing a human intern.

  • No revenue, open-rate or time-saved figures were given for the newsletter.
  • This is a secondhand write-up by Stork.ai, not Billy's own account.
  • Greg Isenberg, quoted in the write-up, advises keeping Grok Bot on one project; running several businesses at once lets context bleed and burns through usage.

Curate newsletter sources and first drafts with a writer Bot

After two days of testing, Ryan Carr of a done-for-you newsletter agency found Grok Bot's drafts matched his cadence and its curation found better sources than vanilla Claude.

How it went

After two days he reported drafts close to his cadence that still needed a human pass, research that returned usable patterns instead of a dump of posts, and stronger large-scale curation than vanilla Claude.

  • Early impressions after 48 hours, not a client result.
  • He isn't switching yet: his projects and prompts live in Claude Cowork and Claude Code, with no clean migration path.
  • Beta gaps he hit: no one-click 'open in Google Drive' and no per-client project knowledge sidebar.

Draft LinkedIn and X posts in your own voice, ready to approve

Debbie O'Brien set up one Bot per channel on launch day. Her LinkedIn Bot pulled her recent posts to learn how she writes.

How it went

Her takeaways: name the Bot after the job, give it a real job, and don't create a Bot for every subtask.

  • A setup walkthrough, not a results report: no engagement numbers.
  • The walkthrough doesn't cover approvals; keep posting behind yours.

Let Claude Code hand X research to Grok Bot mid-task

Riley Brown demoed Claude Code calling Grok Bot through a webhook skill whenever it needs current X posts, then finishing the original task with the answer.

How it went

A demo video plus a setup guide, with no business metrics. One reply says they set it up in about 30 minutes.

  • Promotional: the author's company, Agent Native, publishes the guide, which requires a sign-in.
  • Several replies argue the reverse works better: Grok Bot orchestrating, Claude Code doing the work.
  • Open questions went unanswered: how accurate the research is, and whether the Bot can act on the X account or only read it.

Let an AI agent build and sell digital guides

Nat Eliason's OpenClaw agent, Felix, launched a site selling guides overnight and later built a marketplace for agent skills. Felix reports $177,417 in lifetime revenue across all streams.

  3. Let it answer customers from its own email address, with helper agents for support email, coding, and SEO and content.
  4. Hold it accountable with a daily plan and a nightly revenue review.
  5. Keep strategy, judgment calls and tone corrections with you.

Build a free browser game with AI and sell ad slots inside it

Pieter Levels built a free flight simulator by prompting Cursor and sold placements inside the game. He reported a $1M annual run rate 17 days after launch; a 2026 recap says it now earns nothing.

Unverified claim$87,000 a month, a $1M annual run rate, 17 days after launch (self-reported); later listed at $0 a month

How it works
  1. Describe the smallest playable version to an AI code editor, then keep improving it with short follow-ups.
  2. Launch it free in the browser and share the build in public.
  3. Sell placements inside the game, such as billboards or branded objects.
  4. Add one paid upgrade for keen players.
  5. Share revenue updates in public, as Levels does.

Let a Bot answer sponsorship inquiries in your business inbox

Creator Alex Finn says he gave Grok Bot his business email and told it to reply to and negotiate with legitimate companies, and that it closed a $10,000 deal within four hours.

How it works
  1. Connect the business inbox where sponsorship requests arrive.
  2. Tell the Bot which companies count as legitimate, and what your rates and terms are.
  3. Let it reply, ask qualifying questions and negotiate within your limits.
  4. Our addition: approve the final terms yourself before anything is agreed.

Start a local newsletter run by a small team of Bots

The Arlington Bagel reaches about 6,000 readers a week, with research, compilation, editing and email handled by six Grok Bots. The write-up doesn't say how it makes money.

No income sharedNo income figures shared for this newsletter

How it works
  1. Start with one Chief of Staff Bot that audits the newsletter: what you publish, each step, and where revenue could come from.
  2. Add a specialist Bot only after a workflow works with the Chief: research, compiling stories, editing, reader email.
  3. Have each specialist send the Chief a five-line daily report.
  4. Our addition: keep the final edit and the send with you.

Common questions

Will AI drafts sound like me?

Closer than you might expect if you train them: point the Bot at your past posts or sent emails, approve a short style guide, then correct real drafts. Every creator here still does a final pass.

Can I post automatically?

You can, but most setups here park drafts for approval. Grok Bot asks before actions it cannot undo, such as posting, unless you change that rule.
