OpenClaw

$14,718 in three weeks, from $1,000

Writer Nat Eliason gave his OpenClaw agent, Felix, $1,000 and told it to build a business. Felix runs on its own computer with its own accounts. It launched a website, an info product, and its own X account. Before any access, Eliason gave it a three-layer memory: a knowledge graph of durable facts, daily notes merged every night, and a file of facts about him. Felix also delegates large coding jobs to Codex and checks them while they run. New posts and replies run past Eliason first.

How it wentThe Creator Economy post reports $14,718 in sales in three weeks, with $3,500 in week one shown on the Stripe dashboard. Eliason states the conditions plainly: set the memory up first, add access slowly, and keep the agent on separate accounts. He also names the risk himself: someone may find a way into the agent's crypto wallet, and he accepts that risk as the test case.
