This whole week, I’ve been thinking a lot about the developments in the AI space.
Oh wait - it’s not longer the “AI space” isn’t it?
It’s the “Agent space” now.
OpenClaw exploded into the scene.
Instant viral hit.
My YouTube was FILLED with videos about all the amazing things that people are doing with OpenClaw.
Creators scrambling to make as many videos as they can.
Videos about insane things they had OpenClaw do for them.
How to set up OpenClaw (”Beginner friendly!”).
The next potential “OpenClaw Killer”.
And I got to admit - for a minute, I was shook.
Because this isn’t just about OpenClaw.
OpenClaw has opened the floodgates for the demand of personal AI assistants that can actually do things.
No longer make-believe ‘AI assistants’ all those AI bros have been touting about that ‘acts’ as your personal employees.
Keyword: ‘Act’ - not ‘be’.
No longer just the over glorified chatbots with a fancy auto-complete you call ChatGPT.
Actual employee that talks like a human, knows more tech than you, and can actually go and DO THINGS.
One man got his OpenClaw to blitz-call all the car dealerships in his area, and manage to negotiated $4,200 off a car while he was in a meeting.
Someone automated an entire YouTube content production pipeline (ideation → research → scripting → SEO metadata → thumbnail generation → posting) with his bot.
A founder (reportedly) built an ‘OpenClaw Ultron’ to replace 20 people in his company.
It’s crazy.
Many thought leaders in the marketing space are already calling it ‘the death of SaaS’.
And I agree.
What use is there to navigate to 6 different webapps when I can just talk to one agent?
On Telegram? Or Discord?
Or…WhatsApp?
I installed OpenClaw on a virtual server (for safety reasons) and I was amazed.
Since it already knows everything about me, I don’t even watch most YouTube videos in full anymore.
I just send it a YouTube link, it puts it through a strategic filter, and give me what’s relevant.
There’s no point visiting websites - so SEO might be dead very soon.
SaaS? What’s the point?
Your Agent can code a personalized app just for you. Already, the market is inundated with too many apps, especially since vibe coding became a thing.
And if you don’t want that, you don’t have to have that - Claude recently introduced a new concept called ‘skills’.
Essentially markdown files you tell your AI to read to acquire new abilities.
It’s what I’ve done with my CTPs - Evolving Authority, 30 Minute Offer Doc, Unfolding Story, Envisioning Process, etc.
There is now a large marketplace where you can download Skills for you personal AI agents.
All for free.
What this means - prompts are now valueless (it’s about time) even in the mainstream market.
And this evening a friend of mine just showed me that Manus has created their own version of OpenClaw that is safe and secure, ready to deploy for whoever that wants to claim it.
So what’s the point of building NEO, when better funded, more talented, and more experienced players can easily do such things? And do it better?
What’s the point of running AI Client Factory, when inevitably, all skills, SaaS, even work itself, will be outsourced 100% to AI?
If you’ve been paying attention to the thought leaders in AI, a lot of people are having a bleak outlook.
Recently, Anthropic’s head of AI safety Mrinank Sharma left the company, and in his parting letter, he said that “The world is in peril.”
Dario Amodei himself said that there’s a chance we’re in for a decade of difficult times as humanity adjusts to the new age.
Similar to when the industrial age arrived, wiping out many of the relevant businesses and jobs at the time.
And as I usually do in times like these, I turn to my AI coach for a difficult conversation.
The turning question was, “When you imagine yourself 3 years from now, and things went well — what does your life look like? Not the business. Your life.”
I said, “Well, financial freedom, that’s one. If I make 100k/month, then I know that I can be prepared enough for the future.”
AI Coach: “Okay, money is solved. You're making $100k/month. Now what do you do with your days?”
And I was totally stunned.
Thought about it the whole day. Came back with an answer.
“I’ll do nothing but play video games the whole day.”
“And when I am bored, I’ll find something else to do.” I continued.
I thought about that some more, then epiphany hit me.
If I am already making 100k/mo, what would interest me most is to help do the same.
Because it is meaningful.
Because it is close to my heart.
I believe in commerce, and championing the importance of self-development.
Because three things are true:
Very few % of the population is able to thrive the way they are now - regardless of how AI changes things.
"Our wisdom must grow in equal measure to our capacity to affect the world, lest we face the consequences." - quoted from Mrinank Sharma
The most important work we can do for the world, is the work we do in ourselves.
The "Way" I do that can change. The "What" does not.
What I DO know is that nobody truly knows what the future holds.
All we can do is keep a close eye on things.
Watch things unfold.
And adapt to the times when need be.
For me, the clearest signal all week happened today.
It is good that all of these new developments are open sourced.
It means that I can learn from their architecture and give NEO the same powers.
Adapt to the times.
And AI Client Factory isn’t just a collection of AI processes, but a place where people can get what AI cannot yet give.
A roadmap, a community, and a path to prepare for the future - whatever that may be.
FELIX
P.S. That preparation is the entire focus of The March Build.
In the Agent Era, manual effort is a liability. You need infrastructure that scales.
We are installing the new Offer Architect and Evolving Authority engines in this cohort specifically to handle this shift.
If you want to be the operator who wields the agents, we start building on March 1st.
