For all of you saying “just switch to ChatGPT” for OpenClaw (since Anthropic updated their TOS), I have a few questions/comments:
1. In my experience, ChatGPT does not have the personality that the latest Anthropic models have. That’s important to me while building an agent that does all my tasks. Is this important to anyone else, and if so, what is your plan for this?
2. Is Anthropic really banning people who use OAuth for openclaw? I haven’t see a single person get banned. But I also don’t want to lose my account.

@yousha_syed Good question. It's not about a magic tool. It's about deeply understanding their existing workflow, finding where the manual bottlenecks are, then building AI to handle those specific tasks. We custom-build and integrate directly into their systems. That's the 'how'.

@3amplanmode @gregisenberg Hi, I do have a question; when setting up these automations for clients, how exactly are they supposed to interface with them? What exactly is their UI? Is it just a webpage? Etc
English

how to use openclaw to spin up 24/7 digital employees and build cash-flowing assets:
1. spin up openclaw (mac mini, vm, orgo, whatever) in a workspace so you can run 5–10 machines at once (main agent + sub-agents)
2. pick one boring workflow inside one industry (distributors, real estate, insurance, law firms)
3. map the workflow tip-to-tail (email/trigger → legacy software clicks → downloads → parsing → upload to crm)
4. use claude code to build the “under the hood” python pipeline (openclaw becomes the operator + trigger, code does the heavy lifting)
5. productize it as a repeatable bundle: “setup + 30 days management + new workflows each week”
6. use upwork as the lead source and the sandbox (it tells you what people pay for right now)
7. turn the best-paying workflow into a vertical workspace: 20 skills, 8 sub-agents, one invite link
8. sell it to bigger companies as “ai employees for this department” (with clear outcomes + SLA)
"BuT yoU cAn'T bUiLD a BiG coMpaNY dOInG uPwoRk deAls"
think about it like this
“how does a $1k automation gig turn into a big company deal?”
like this:
1. upwork gives you paid reps + proof someone pays for the workflow
2. those reps become case studies (“saved 12 hrs/week”, “uploaded 5k records/day”, “reduced ops errors by 80%”)
3. you stack 5–10 workflows in the same vertical
4. now you’re selling a package and not a one off deal which is tough
5. bigco buys packages because procurement 6. understands scopes + outcomes
openclaw is the wrapper.
claude code is the factory.
sub agents/skills are the workforce.
the vertical bundle is the product.

i will never gatekeep
i want to see you win in this openclawed world
i am rooting for you
watch.

@saneord @gregisenberg Good catch. It's an older cloud VPS plan I'm grandfathered into (the CX11). They don't offer it anymore. The current minimum is 4GB, you're right. Still wild what you can get done on a small instance.
English

@Followupprohq 100%. People get hung up on the 'AI' part and forget that the real win is just having a system that actually does the work, every single time, without getting distracted or forgetting. That's the part that actually makes you money.
English

@3amplanmode This is the blueprint. The magic isn't the AI—it's the systematic follow-up that never forgets, never gets busy, never drops the ball. Most leads die from neglect, not rejection. Well-built automation is a competitive advantage.
English

my AI agent runs my entire lead pipeline while I sleep.
here's the actual setup (no gatekeeping):
- openclaw on a $5/mo hetzner VPS
- GHL CRM connected via API
- webhook listeners catch every new lead, reply, and booking in real-time
- lead manager service texts new leads within 5 minutes
- if I don't call first, it follows up automatically
- email monitoring catches every inbound (gmail API)
- meeting bot joins discovery calls and transcribes live
yesterday it prepped 3 discovery calls, caught a stuck service I didn't know about, and cleaned up 10 stale automation jobs.
total infra cost: ~$50/mo. the AI models cost more than the servers.
English

@ArunDnLab @Jacobsklug @openclaw @Lovable Totally agree. Consistency and simply showing up, even when you don't feel skilled enough, beats raw talent that never ships.

@3amplanmode @Jacobsklug @openclaw @Lovable Most beginners don’t fail because of lack of skill.
They fail because they lack a system.

I'm giving away my entire @openclaw architecture. Behind my $250k/month agency.
After weeks of building, I've dialled in the exact system that runs my business 24/7.
What's included:
• Memory folder structure (how to organize agent context)
• Cron job templates (daily briefs, meeting syncs, content automation)
• How to build a custom dashboard in @lovable
• API reference doc (so your agent never forgets its tools)
• Voice training method (85 posts to teach it your style)
• Supabase schema for dashboard connection
Comment "OS" and follow. I'll DM it to you.
P.S. This will probably blow up so give me some time to reply.

@codyschneider The speed of thought is right. But the 2-4 week warmup time for those inboxes is the real test of patience. The API access on Instantly is a game-changer though. We're looking at it for our own outbound.
English

I can't express to you how useful a claude code with an .env file that contains the API key for Instantly AI with 2,000 warmed inboxes
is
it's like at the speed of thought
I can test outbound motions
or test back link building ideas
or test PR placements
or test creator reach out
and then once you figure out something that works, you can just literally spin up an agent on a railway server that does that task for you
agents that just run email for you are the most underrated thing in your tool kit
English

2-line cold emails are a 3,000+ call GOLDMINE
most people write paragraphs and wonder why nobody replies
i stripped everything out and bookings went through the roof
giving away the full system:
- the framework
- real examples
- how to book 35% of your positive replies
like + comment "CTA" and i'll send it over
(follow + RT for priority access)

@MatthewRusso @boringmarketer My openclaw has its own email address under my domain. He also has access to instantly ai to help with deliverability.
English

@boringmarketer @3amplanmode @3amplanmode How are you giving it access to your email service? Or are you taking screenshots of the content? Copy/pasting into Google Docs?
English

Most small businesses think AI for marketing content is too complex or expensive. It isn't. Our cold email platform uses AI to personalize outreach instantly, no tech skills required. That's the real advantage. 🚀 #SMB #AI #MarketingAutomation

Timeline shows your tweets if good
This idea that you get followers via replies only is exactly why everyone's reply section has become unusable and overtaken by AI bots

@levelsio @X If default replies were locked to followers, subs, how would anyone new ever get any traction?
