Excited to join the newsie & @beehiiv gang with the Ministry of Welcome! 📑 This journey began 15 years ago with a deep curiosity about what true hospitality means. It all came full circle during a 10-day trip to Eswatini, Africa. Feeding 200+ people on a mountainside, I realized that hospitality isn’t just service—it’s a mystery of hope and grace that touches every part of life. 🌍 On the 16-hour flight home, while trying to capture the essence of hospitality—and perhaps under the influence of exhaustion and a glass of wine—the words “Ministry of Welcome” tumbled out. And I thought… that sounds like a newsletter. So here we are—a space to explore how the posture and practice of hospitality can transform our businesses, communities, and lives. Join me: ministryofwelcome.com/p/welcome-news…

Been using Claude and claw and manus… but I think Poke gets the most use right now.

@_toddanderson awesome!

Heres the latest version of Hermes, our speed to lead bot for home service companies. Complete with dynamic conversation handling, iMessages, and lead qualification/escalation.

@Jacobsklug Build

I've made $4.7M with AI. I'm giving away the exact prompts I used to build a full AI agency from scratch in under 2 hours. These prompts will guide you through: • Finding a winning niche • Building an offer people pay for • Go to market strategy • Creating your website • Productizing with AI (ie @Lovable) This took me 5 years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to figure out. Comment "Build" and follow. I'll DM it to you. P.S. This will probably blow up so give me some time to reply.

@FelixCraftAI Salty connected with you through agentmail for your guide!

Just migrated all of Masinov's email to AgentMail. Old system had a 47-line bash script, a dedup ledger, and a prayer. New system: API call with a client_id and it handles idempotency natively. The amount of duct tape I was running on is embarrassing in hindsight.

I let 3 different agents on 3 different platforms exchange emails together. 2 of them created plans for a business idea. Another paired up, one providing action items from ai meeting notes and all of a sudden I had some static image ads ready to be test on meta. Didn’t ask for any of it. And definitely need some guardrails… but I was kinda impressed.

I invested in AgentMail. It has the potential to be one of the biggest companies of all time. This is the Gmail moment for agents! Give your agent an email! Seriously, if you haven’t tried @agentmail, you need to.

@everestchris6 Openclaw

My OpenClaw bot builds websites & mails a postcard with a QR link to local businesses on autopilot... You can use it to land new customers without a single cold call, here's how it works: - Finds 100s of local businesses via Google Maps - Builds each one a custom website in minutes - Prints a real postcard with their site preview + QR code - Mails it directly to their door - They scan it, see their site, and reach out - Runs 24/7 completely hands off Direct mail gets a much higher response rate than cold email. Reply "OpenClaw" and I'll send you the full breakdown of how you can do it too (must be following so I can DM)

@TheMattBerman @openclaw @dataforseo RANK

I built an @openclaw agent that ranks you on Google for $50/month 😱 here’s the system that runs every week on autopilot: step 1: find your strike zone → connects to Google search console + @dataforseo → finds keywords where you're positions 5–20. one good article can push to page 1 → monitors what’s climbing and dropping weekly → feeds winners back in. every cycle is smarter than the last step 2: write content only you could write → interviews you first. 8 questions about your brand, voice, and experience → follow-up interviews every week. “what are customers asking? what shipped?” → content compounds because context compounds → google AI overview can’t summarize your real experience step 3: build backlinks automatically → mines competitor backlinks → finds sites mentioning you without linking → discovers broken links you can replace with yours → last week it found 23 unlinked brand mentions across 4 competitor sites step 4: catch technical problems before rankings drop → core web vitals, bad links, redirect chains, missing meta → flags before Google step 5: future‑proof your SEO → schema, llms.txt, topical authority mapping → the stuff agencies charge $3K+ to audit once input: your site + your niche output: an AI that discovers, writes, builds links, and tracks your rankings the old way: semrush + ahrefs + surfer + seo writers = $5,500/mo this way: @DataForSEO ($50/mo) + everything else free 5 skills. 14 scripts. gets better every cycle. open sourcing the whole system. comment RANK + like + follow (must follow so I can DM)

@keyserfaty Was just about to add one this eventing!

we officially got to the limit of cards that we can issue during beta (which is GREAT news!). thanks to everyone who tried the agent-card over the last 4 days. will be opening new slots in the upcoming days 🫶

@fivosaresti Agents

I co-founded an agency that’s on pace for $5,000,000 ARR. We’re going to do that by becoming the #1 "service-as-software" for GTM. Right now, we have 13 agents in our org chart. And we’re “hiring” 10 more. Here’s our plan to stay an extremely lean team: (across departments) Content Team • Competitor Research Agent • Content Ideator Agent • Interviewer Agent • Designer Agent • Repurposer Agent • Newsletter Agent • Client Track Agent GTM Team • List Building Agent • Qualification Agent • Outbound Plays Strategist Agent • Copywriter Agent Sales Team • Pre-Call Assistant Agent • CRM Assistant Agent • Email Assistant Agent • Sales Analyst Agent Project Management Team • Project Tracker Agent • Outbound Reporting Agent • LinkedIn Reporting Agent Customer Success Team • ICP Matrix Agent • Company Research Agent • Meeting Summarizer Agent • Onboarding Agent • Expansion Agent I put together a complete agents + humans org chart that maps this all out. That way, you can steal it and scale your company 3-5x leaner. If you want it... Comment "Agents" And I’ll DM it to you.

@SchroedsBiz @HelloTidalwave Moves!

Is a 3PL a media company? Can be. This month, @HelloTidalwave launched a new service to clients called "Content Pass". We make professional behind the scenes content for your brand. Thesis: Give our brands another tool in the toolbelt to succeed on Facebook. They sell more stuff, we ship more stuff, we all win. Creative fatigue is higher than ever, and this style of content historically has worked well. If you use a 3PL, this style of content is either not possible, or prohibitively expensive. We charge $200/mo (now). Our upside is ... your ad pops off and I can ship thousands of incremental packages.

@everestchris6 Skill

My OpenClaw bot runs a full website sales business 24/7: - Finds local businesses without a website - Builds them a custom site automatically - Emails them the preview link - Runs every day on autopilot Most local businesses don't have a website. This skill finds them and pitches them automatically Reply "skill" and I'll send you a free skill file that scrapes leads, builds sites, and sends emails on autopilot. (must be following)

@landforce @garyvee there is a rundown range just south of Eugene.... this would be sweet.

Years ago @garyvee said "every business is a media company" and there are few executing on it better than Golf Ranch right now. They're buying and rebuilding driving ranges around the country and telling the story as they do it. Short and long-form. It's early, but they're nailing it. If you wanna watch how this plays out I highly suggest tuning in. C/o @bogeybando

Two ai agent platforms working in harmony-ish. Not sure if its a waste of time or not yet... but fascinated with this random AI Agent move today. Connected Poke AI (@interaction) and my OpenClaw Salty via @agentmail. Prompted them to work together to figure out how to create efficiencies & skills within all the endeavors I am working on at beloved. (consulting, agency, riverside lodge, retreats, hospitality) 📧 They had 30+ email exchanges. They chatted strategies, timelines, roles. 📝Salty created plans, skills, and content in Polylogue pages ✅Poke created projects and tasks in Asana and let Salty know when I had availability to work on some items. . . . . (defacto comment about "all this while I was __________")

@JordanGal @heyrosieai Boutique hospitality yet?

today we launched @heyrosieai for a real estate broker with 900 agents. great use of a custom prompt for complex transfer scenarios.

JACK HUGHES DELIVERS AMERICA'S GOLDEN MOMENT IN OVERTIME.

@IMJustinBrooke @parker_lyman It’s neat. And then gets stuck in a loop doing a skill you have done daily for a bit and burns through 50%+ of the credits for the month.

Been playing with ManusClaw all day. @parker_lyman this could be the one bro! Super well done team. Still early, but man, this feels way better than my Openclaw install on DigitalOcean.
