I'm giving away a FULL course on how to build a managed AI agent business solo using Hermes Agent, Orgo, Obsidian, Codex, Claude Code etc. Here's everything (47 minutes): 1. The offer: unlimited agents, unlimited usage, all infrastructure and security included. The customer gets a digital employee. They never think about tokens or models. You handle everything. 2. Don't niche down too fast. Try marketing agencies, law firms, insurance, manufacturing, real estate. See where the market pulls you. Then go vertical. Diverge first, converge later. 3. Every executive has the same problems regardless of industry. Too many emails, too many meetings, too many follow-ups, too many open loops. Solve those first. Then layer in vertical-specific skills. 4. The stack: Hermes Agent for the agent harness. Codex or Claude Code desktop to build and configure. Orgo for cloud computers so every agent lives in its own sandbox. Composio for one-click authentication across thousands of apps. Agent Mail to give every agent its own email. Obsidian for the knowledge base. 5. Use agents to build agents. Don't stress about setup. Use Claude Code or Codex to install and configure Hermes inside a VM. Use Perplexity MCP, Context7, and Exa for up-to-date docs. Your agent sets up your customer's agents. 6. GPT 5.5 is the best model right now. Efficient with tool calls. Doesn't eat tokens like Opus 4.7. For cheaper tasks, GLM 5.1 from ZAI is the best open source option. 7. Set up watchdogs for gateway crashes so they auto-restore. Have agents email you when cron jobs break or skills fail. Your customer should never have to tell you something is broken. 8. Get customers through content. If someone jumps on a call and already knows who you are and what you sell, that's the position you want. Content is the most leveraged thing you can do in 2026. 9. Keep scope tight. One to two requests at a time, delivered in under 48 hours. Use Trello for customer-facing project management. Send Loom updates at random hours to show you're always working on their agents. 10. If you can set up Claude Code, Hermes, or OpenClaw, you have a skill that 99% of business owners don't have and would pay $5k/month for. You're probably not giving yourself enough credit. shoutout to @nickvasiles from @orgodotai for coming back on @startupideaspod and sharing the full playbook. tools, stack, fulfillment, everything. this type of episode isn't shared anywhere on the internet. this is the alpha people keep for themselves. i will keep sharing if you keep watching. you could watch netflix or you can watch this (link below) youtu.be/BI-MNjm1tTQ?si… watch
