I run my meta ads with @openclaw for $0/month 😱
here's the system that runs autonomously:
step 1: daily health check
→ social-cli (major shoutout to @vishalojha_me) wraps @Meta's marketing API (token refresh, pagination, rate limits all handled)
→ am I on track? what's running? who's winning? who's bleeding? any fatigue?
→ the same 5 questions I asked Ads Manager every morning for 20 years
step 2: catch dying ads before CPA spikes
→ @OpenClaw pulls daily frequency by ad
→ frequency > 3.5 = audience is cooked, CTR is about to drop
→ this one signal saves more money than any dashboard
step 3: auto-pause bleeders + shift budget to winners
→ CPA > 2.5x target for 48hrs? auto-pause. no hesitation.
→ ranks every campaign by efficiency. recommends shifting spend.
→ last fri it paused an $87 CPA campaign at 3am and scaled my best performer 30%
step 4: write new ad copy from your winners
→ agent analyzes what's working (hooks, angles, CTAs)
→ generates variations based on the patterns in YOUR top performers
→ copy modeled on what already converts in your account.
step 5: upload ads directly to your account
→ new creative + copy
→ live in @Meta Ads Manager
→ no more downloading, formatting, clicking through the upload flow
→ agent handles the entire publish cycle
step 6: content concepts + morning brief
→ spots patterns across winners and suggests what to test next
→ delivers everything to Telegram, Slack, wherever you want it
→ 90 seconds to read. reply "approved." done.
input: your ad account + your target CPA
output: an AI that monitors, kills, scales, writes, AND uploads your ads
dozens of hours in ad manager → 1 text message
I packaged the entire system as the Meta Ads Kit.
5 @OpenClaw skills:
- meta-ads (daily checks + auto-pause)
- ad-creative-monitor (fatigue detection)
- budget-optimizer (efficiency scoring + shift recs)
- ad-copy-generator (writes variations from your winners)
- ad-upload (publishes creative directly to your account)

I replaced a $200K GTM hire with @openclaw 😱
here's the system that runs my outbound:
step 1: mine LinkedIn engagement
→ @rapidapi scrapes everyone engaging with niche content
→ someone who commented on specific posts = 10x warmer
step 2: enrich + verify
→ Hunter/Apollo finds the decision-maker + email
→ @Perplexity deep research pulls signals like hiring, fundraising, media appearances, quotes
step 3: score against your ICP
→ title, company, signals = ranked 0-100
→ only A-tier leads get touched
step 4: write personalized outreach
→ Claude writes outreach referencing what they ACTUALLY engaged with and talk about
step 5: send via @instantly_ai
→ 3-email sequence. automated follow-ups.
step 6: pre-call deep research
→ @PerplexityComet builds a 1-page briefing 30 min before every call
input: your ICP + niche keywords
output: booked meetings with people who already care
$200K/year GTM engineer → $130/month in APIs.
I packaged the entire system as the First 1000 Kit:
- all 8 @openclaw skills
- every prompt
- tool-by-tool setup
- email sequences that convert
giving it away free.

A couple weeks ago, I came home and my wife, Silvia, said something I almost couldn’t believe.
She looked at me and she said, “I think our state needs you.” Because she believed I could help our kids. Help San José. And help California.
And if you know anything about Silvia — when she talks, you listen.
So I’m running for Governor of California — because we can do better.
I know we can, because we’re proving it in San Jose.
We’ve reduced unsheltered homelessness by nearly 1/3rd after a decade of growth. We were rated the safest big city in America last year for the first time in over 20 years. We’re the only city to have solved 100% of homicides nearly 4 years running. And we’re taking on affordability with urgency and honesty — unlocking thousands of housing units in the past couple years.
We need to stand up for our rights, for our freedoms and for our neighbors. We need to use the tools we have at hand to protect our democracy.
One tool is the law. The other tool is our results. We have to use both.
That’s how we fix California.
We don’t just need to be against something. We need to be for something — a government that proves it can solve problems for working people again.
And before we ask Californians to give more, we owe them proof that their government can do better.
So I’m running to bring focus back to government. To give cities the tools they need to succeed. To show that the best resistance to division is results.
And to prove that California can work again — for everyone.
That’s why I’m running.
And that’s the future Silvia and I are fighting for.

Odd dynamic of the San Francisco real estate market:
If you’re budget is $4MM you’re an absolute king and will probably win any home you bid on
But if your budget is $7MM, you may feel “priced out” bc you start looking in more expensive neighborhoods and the competition is loaded😅

was just at the All In summit and still find it crazy that a mass of smart people will mindlessly waste 6 hours watching an in-person speaker when they wouldn't waste 2 hrs watching the exact same talk on youtube at 3x speed. people are so irrational

First year in my life I skied more days at Deer Valley than Park City. The difference between the two is stark and, sadly, getting starker.

C'mon people, are we really surprised by @deepseek_ai? Did you really not see it coming?
From our @nfx blog in 2022:
"The [core AI models] are going to be open-source and easy to use. Models is where the generative AI revolution started – but it’s not where it will end.
It’s not going to take long, maybe 3 years, for models to approximate each other and reach human limits. The ability for these models to differentiate themselves stops at those limits.
Data network effects asymptote over time. An AI model that is 5% or even 20% percent better than the competition is a pretty slim defensibility.
The AI models will be switched out at will. Which of course ... commodify them.”
There will be several more 100X reductions in speed and cost in the next two years, and eventually it will run on CPU's and we won't need GPU's, and it will run on your smartphone and laptop without heating it up.
Note that @Meta pulled the same trick as DeepSeek but not as well (yet) with Llama which is to say "Fuck, I lost, so I'll blow the whole market up by doing opensource 6 months after you. If I can't win, I'm going to keep you from winning." Many players have it in their strategic insterest to open source AI capability. Meta is one. China is a second. There are many more. It's inevitable.
Hasn't this been obvious from the beginning? The defensibility of these models companies is not to have the proprietary model that is better than another. That advantage asymptotes within a few years. They have a short window to create network effects on top of those models with workflow software, or security layers, or marketplaces, or 10 other methods. But that window closes. DeepSeek or the next DeepSeek, whoever it is, signals the closing of their window.
These big dick swinging $500B projects, "I'm good for my $80B," or whatever, just got caught up in the competition with each other, ignoring the reality of the technology, misallocating VC money, shareholders money, and now trying to get taxpayer money.
Once again, faster and smarter beats bigger. And look, if DeepSeek turns out to be not as great as we think now, don't worry, the next DeepSeek will be. And the next.
