ClawdBot is INSANE. Here’s 3 Ways to Make Money With It

The future of AI assistance is here and

it's not from Anthropic. It's not from

OpenAI. It's not even from Google. It's

from a little open source app called

Claudebot which has taken the internet

by storm. It is by far one of the most

powerful AI tools I have ever seen. And

so in this video, we're going to be

breaking down what it is, how it works,

the dangers and risks that you need to

be aware of before diving in, and most

importantly, the top three ways to start

printing money with this before everyone

else catches on. Plus, I'm going to be

giving away my free guide on how to get

Claudebot set up for yourself the right

way in just a few minutes. So, stick

around for that. All right, Mark. We're

now in the Javas era of AI and uh we're

going to break it down here for you

guys. Not only what Claudebot is, how

significant this is, and how it's really

an entirely new market opening up for

making money and building businesses,

which we'll get into, but more

importantly, like how to set this thing

up, how it actually works, um so you

guys can figure it out and start moving

on it now because it is really taken

off. So, Mark, thanks for coming on,

mate. What are we going to be going

through here? All right. So, I'm going

to walk through how Claudebot works and

what it is. So, you have Claude Code,

which the world, including myself, have

gone pretty insane over. Claudebot is

like a brain that's not necessarily on a

terminal. So, you don't have to

interface with Claudebot on that boring

terminal. And you don't have to use

something like co-work either. So, you

can use whatever input you want. It

could be a Telegram message, a WhatsApp

message, Slack, Discord. You have so

many options on how you interface with

it. And even though it's called

Claudebot, you can actually use whatever

language model you want. So it's meant

to be air traffic control where you get

the message and depending on what tools

and skills it has, it can talk to you

like a chatbot. It can work like an

agent. And most importantly, you can

tell it to be proactive. So if you're

Liam, tell me about the top 10 trends

happening in AI right now. What would be

the most important for my audience? Then

instead of just answering your questions

or doing the thing like claude code

would do, it can do the thing, it can be

proactive and do something else later or

come up with something on its own later.

So this is kind of freeing what you guys

may be familiar with the the

functionality of of clawed code. We're

basically like jailbreaking it, freeing

it from uh being stuck on your desktop

or playing uh accessing it through a

command line. We can now set up a a

telegram bot that we can message

directly. So, whenever you're on the go,

um, in Mark's case, he's bought a Mac

Mini to set this up on, but as we're

going to go into, there's other options

as well, but it's basically setting up

your own special version of Claude code

that has access to a bunch of files and

more importantly combining these skills

in there as well that allows you to

access it from wherever you want. Um,

and this is a massive leap in the right

direction towards uh, like the Javas AI

that we're all kind of dreaming of.

>> And really, the reason why this is a big

deal if your audience is still saying,

"Okay, great. Why do I care?" Why do I

care? because this has gone viral

because it's the first time you actually

have a personal assistant that you can

truly configure and you don't need edit,

you don't need m.com, you don't need a

100 node workflow. You can literally

just as soon as you install it and you

can go back and forth with any AI to

help you, you can build pretty much

whatever you want. So this is the

beginning of the personal assistant era.

This is the whole like the future is

already here. It's just not evenly

distributed, guys. This is the future

right here. And if you can make the most

of it now, there's this arbitrage

opportunity where you're going to

literally be super human for about six

months, maybe even 12 months before the

rest of the people catch on to this.

>> Yeah. So, if people look at this part

where you just send a message, goes to

Cloudbot, comes back with an action, you

might be like, okay, well, this voice

flow thing from two years ago does the

same thing. But there's a big difference

between this and voice flow because the

TLDDR is, like I said, it is the air

traffic control. So, any channel you

want. You don't have to do anything

fancy. Everything comes out of the box

and this is fully open source. Meaning

if you want to change what it can or

can't do or add a different connector,

you don't have to wait for a platform to

do it for you. You can do it yourself.

And in terms of the tools, it comes with

a series of skills like it already knows

how to write Apple notes if you give it

its own desktop. It can create all kinds

of 11 Labs voices and clones. And a lot

of these things that I'm mentioning in

passing were huge edit workflows just

four or five months ago. And now it's

all natural language based. And the fact

that you can even make Claude modular

like essentially let's say Claude is out

of reach financially either for you or

your clients. You can run a local model

and then have that hooked up to this

Claudebot brain and Claude's just the

orchestrator. The Cloudbot just decides

what happens when, which tools are used,

and which skills are needed. Yeah, I

mean the the quickest thing you could do

to cut your cost is jump over to some of

the the Google models, you know, like go

from using Opus 4.5 to anything in the

Google suite. Uh far far cheaper than uh

than the anthropic ones. So there's

that. Or I mean if you're really trying

to minimize cost, it would be the Google

side, right? Rather than having to

purchase the Mac Mini and run the run

the stuff locally. I tried to uh I tried

to run I can't remember what it is O

Lama um and get it to do a run claw code

for me and I've got a pretty decent Mac

and it was just like it took 40 minutes

to generate like 3,500 tokens or

something. So yeah, there is definitely

a hardware limitation so people need to

be aware of that.

>> Yeah, it's a good segue. So the ways you

can use and set up Cloudbot, like we

said, you don't need a Mac Mini. The

TLDDR of why people like myself have

gone one is if you want to have that

interface where you can physically see

that your agent or agents have their own

workspace, their own desktop where it

can build, manage files, operate its own

environment fully, but you want to

separate it from your Mac in your life

so you don't risk hackers, viruses, all

kinds of things going wrong. That's

where the Mac Mini is becoming helpful.

And also if you want to use open source

models like Liam said my computer

basically nukes itself if it tries to

run something on Olama. So because it's

a virgin blank slate technically

computer of its own. You can also run

language models a lot more easily. But

for most of your audience the cloud is

probably one of the best places to go.

You can literally use Amazon Web

Services. There's tons of tutorials

already on this and you can hook it up

on the free tier and you can use this on

the free tier. It just might not be as

pretty and cute as me what I'm about to

show your audience shortly in terms of

how I has have it set up.

>> Love it. So, what you've got what maybe

10 20 bucks a month or we talking like

50 100 bucks a month to actually run

this at any kind of uh kind of scale.

>> This literally free tier like you can

live on the free tier depending on how

much you use it. I suppose it's if

you're choosing to use the like the

Gemini API like accessing it through a

hosted model like self not a self-hosted

model but a provider where they're

already running the models for you and

then you're just paying for the uh cloud

space to be able to run the claudebot

itself right rather than running the

clawbot and also uh hosting the model.

So you want to stay away from hosting

the model uh on the cloud setup as well.

Guys, if you are already sold on Clawbot

and want to get this set up for yourself

the right way in a few minutes, I've got

my full guide on how to do that in the

first link in the description. It's

going to break it down for you so that

you can set it up the right way without

all the risks. Plus, with that resource,

I'm also going to be including a more

in-depth breakdown of each of the

money-making methods for you guys so

that you can take action on them today.

Yeah. And there's one more thing. Um,

let's say you don't want the Mac Mini,

but you still want to run it locally.

You could also use something like Docker

to create a container to run a local

model to also interface with this. So,

it's very malleable because it's open

source and unlike a company telling you

how you have to use something, it's

completely up to you. It's just a matter

of what fits the best for you. Now, in

terms of where mine lives. So, obviously

I have the Mac Mini here. Where it lives

is its own laptop. So, this laptop, I'm

basically rendering this on my actual

screen on my real laptop. It just has

access to its own notes. It creates its

own folders. It manages this system. So

this is technically my agent's computer,

which is why it's so malleable, because

anything that happens here is only

constrained to what's happened here. So

in other words, the blast radius of

anything going haywire won't affect my

finances, my credit cards, or my files

in general, which is a piece of mind if

it's something within reach because you

can manage everything and you can also

manage what's being installed, how it's

being used.

>> I'm even considering the investment

myself now just so I can tinker around

over it over over the next week or so.

And uh once you set it up, it comes with

its own localhosted command center. So

this is the Cloudbot command center.

This gives you an overview over how long

it's been connected, how many instances

it has. Uh if it has jobs that it runs

over and over again in the form of

what's called a cron, when you speak to

it, let's say via Telegram like I do, it

can decide, okay, cool. It looks like

Mark wants to run this reminder to go

check his YouTube competitors and look

at their comments using the app scraper

every hour or every 3 hours. And this is

where the proactivity comes in because

it basically pings its own server and it

messages me whatever I'm looking for.

And then a part of that picture is

obviously skills. So like you have

normal cloud skills, these are all open-

source skills. So these skills let it

use things like the Apple reminders,

write its own notes, watch for blogs,

take a screenshot of its own

environment. So it can be literally be

like, am I doing the right thing? As if

it's like your actual virtual assistant.

>> Yep. So these are a lot of these come

out of the box in the in the setup

wizard, which is helpful, right? So this

is I think a huge leap forward. this is

is that these come out of the box and a

lot of the integrations like the 11 labs

one which we can showcase in a second

but instead of the like clunkiness of

MCPs and now bloated those can be these

skills now seem to be forming as like

the new unit of like integration or as

as a feature and the fact that we'll be

able to like browse marketplaces for

these and figure out what we want to

plug in very quickly to our uh to our

personal like Jarvis here um I think is

is super exciting for for non techies

especially

>> yeah and just the TLDDR for people on

difference between skills and MCP. A

skill is like a constrained set of let's

say endpoints or different

functionalities from a service. Let's

use 11 Labs as an example. If you want

to clone a voice, if you want to

generate something with an existing

voice, those are two different

functions. So, skill just creates a

cheat sheet in plain English with those

functions and it tells whatever LM it

is, this is how to use it and this is

when to use it. And the core difference

is an MCP is kind of always on, meaning

it's bloating your context window of

your conversation, which might push the

agent to time out. A skill is invoked

just in time, meaning whenever it's

needed, it'll be used.

>> Yep. Love it. I think that's future for

sure. And I I think even Anthropic kind

of admitted that MCB wasn't the way

forward um by by making the transition

over to Skills

>> 100%. So um we already spoke about the

cloudbot environment. You can connect it

to whatever you want. Discord, iMessage,

Signal, whatever makes you happy. A lot

of this stuff comes out of the box. You

just have to hook it up. If you choose

WhatsApp, I think you have to just scan

a QR code and it hooks up to your

personal number. So, one disclaimer for

your audience is if you want to separate

your life, which I recommend that you do

if you're not a cyber security expert

yet, it's probably better to use

something like Telegram, especially

because the blast radius of something

going wrong is probably a lot lower.

Yeah. And then when it comes to um where

you can interface with it, you can also

do Google chat, Microsoft Teams, etc. So

I only allude to that because there is a

business opportunity here if you can

figure out how to set this up, securely,

and use it because most of your clients

are using something like that,

[laughter]

>> securely. Yeah. I mean, just like

scratching the surface of how this can

be set up as a as a service, which we'll

go into in a second, is uh it's huge

opportunity here.

>> And then behind the scenes, just in case

you're still okay, let's say you know

cloud code. So if I say the words claude

code then when I say claude MD might

mean something to you. Claude MD is like

the brain of how claude code operates

every session. It's kind of like the the

values the holy book

>> like priming.

>> Yeah.

>> Exactly. Exactly. So the priming here is

a bit different. When you onboard

Cloudbot it asks you questions about how

it should behave. So it's fully going

the personal assistant angle. Literally

ask me when you're wrong Mark. Do you

want me to be direct and tell you wrong

or do you want me to be soft or passive

about it? So, it interviews you in

natural language and then it stores your

preferences in its soul.mmarkdown

file. So, it's literally called

soul.mmarkdown. Then asks you what it

should identify as by name, creature,

etc. So, it out of the box in 15 minutes

once you have it installed, it's ready

to go. It knows how to speak to you. I

told it I like lowercase. I write in

lowercase. Don't give me some cookie

cutter stuff. Don't say I'm absolutely

right. and then we were ready to go.

>> Now, we might have this just after this,

but when it comes to building in your

workflows to this, so you've got your

workspace set up, you might provide it

with uh the some like market research

data or uh sort of key components and

and documents about your business. How

then are you needing to create custom

skills or are there like simple commands

that you can set up? How do you then

start to make workflows on top of this?

So, one tool that I like to use quite a

bit, you can use whatever you want. Any

form of IDE where it can do stuff is

helpful. I like to use warp because it

has a free tier. So, what I like to do

is I just go and I say, "Hey, can you go

interface with Claudebot? I don't feel

like building a skill, but can you go

and figure out how to use insert X API?"

Let's say we want to do the Hen API to

make a copy of ourselves. Go look at the

Hen API. see what you need from me and

see what would it take to make a skill.

Then once it creates a skill, it stores

it behind the scenes and it tells

Claudebot in its like identity and its

tools file, make sure that when Mark

says clone or avatar, we use this heygen

skill. So that's one avenue. Another

avenue is once you have it set it up

well, you can actually ask Claudebot to

create the skill itself. So once in a

while I'll ask it, I have a challenge

for you. I don't know how you're going

to do this, but I have this voice note

from Liam. I want you to take this voice

note and I want you to clone his voice

somehow using 11 laps. I'm not gonna

tell you how. I'm not going to tell you

where. You have the API key. Go figure

it out. So, it will go 5 10 minutes, try

a couple things, then come back and

figure it out. Okay. So, if we pop in,

you can see this is my beautiful

assistant Claudet. I actually asked her

to make her own profile picture and I

asked her, can you tell me what Liam's

last three videos were about? So behind

the scenes I gave it access to ampify

specifically the MCP just to make it

easier. It went kind of scraped it turns

back the link

>> closing quickly on that.

Ampify is a great thing to have

integrated because of it like depth of

different scrapers. Right? So that's

just like a very easy general purpose uh

connection you can make to give your

your clawbot a ton more capability.

Right. So it can find a LinkedIn scraper

if it needs to and use that and it's

just all set up through through your

appy account. You're going to get ping

for those actors.

>> Exactly. So, if you go to, it's a great

segue. Go to mcp.appfi.com.

You could see out of the box. You can

just set everything up. Then you can

click any one of these. This is what I

did. I literally just clicked on warp.

Uh, it gives me the request that I need

to send. Or you could do, let's say,

cloud code. You just give it this

command. You paste that. You tell it,

can you go learn how to use the appy mcp

and then you can add whatever actors you

want. So, in this case, you can just

literally go select them, click save,

then you're good to go. And then

>> so you manually add those in or there is

a like when it uses the search function

there. Is it going to search from the

ones you've enabled or is it going to

search the whole uh the whole database

of of actors?

>> You're asking the right questions. So

out of the box I manually put ones in

that I know for a fact I want always. So

that's where I added them here. And then

you just have to enable it to search

actors and call actors. And then if it's

not there, if it doesn't have, let's

say, a LinkedIn scraper, it can go and

search for an actor that's highly rated

and then add that to its stack.

>> That's super helpful.

>> That's how we got these YouTube videos.

And then this is the part where it's

super cool. I sent it a voice note um

just to better understand what's

happening. And like I asked it, can you

create a clone of the following voice

note that I'm about to send you? So it I

basically gave it this voice note of

Liam swearing at me for being late to

this pod. and then listened to it. And

then I said, "Can you use this file to

clone his voice and send me a sample of

the clone telling me that he loves me?"

Now, I would love to play this, but Liam

kind of muffled his own voice on

purpose, so it was going to sound super

goofy. Do you want me to play it or

what?

>> Yeah, I mean, I I haven't heard this. Is

it my bad American accent? [laughter]

>> Hey, Mark, I love you, man. This voice

cloning technology is absolutely

>> That does sound like how I sounded in

the voice.

>> In the future. Hey Mark.

>> Yeah, Mark. Man, that's what I sound

like. [laughter]

>> Yeah. And then I said, um, can you voice

note me uh a breakdown of Liam's channel

strategy from what you can see? And

super interesting that I want to show

your audience here is

>> that started glazing me immediately.

>> Yeah. I mean, that's part two. That's

part two. But part one is it ran this

job that I told it to do to look for my

YouTube competitor. So then it found the

last few people in the last few hours

that had a video around Claude. So I was

just like in the middle of it. But

here's the part glazing you.

>> All right, let's break down Liam Ali's

channel strategy. So Liam is at 724K

subs right now. He's absolutely crushing

it in the AI automation space. And his

whole strategy is built around this

concept he created called the AAA model,

AI automation agency.

>> We got the idea. [laughter]

So that's that you're asking it for a

Did did you ask it to give a audio

summary there or is that

>> references?

>> Yeah. Send send me a voice note. Now

Le's channel strategy, but nothing else.

>> Cool. I mean, so my my questions here is

like there's the difference between like

a general purpose assistant that has

been given enough tools and access to

stuff that it can just figure out

on its own versus a bit more of a

structured one like uh say like I've

just been setting up a a claw code

workspace for myself for like as a

podcasting workspace to help me research

competitors, uh research guests, um do a

quick like kind of snapshot of the

market, see what's trending or a

snapshot of my competitors and these

kind core like not necessarily full

skills but just like a clawed command

that has a it's a markdown file with a

couple things and telling it how to use

different parts of the like the readme

inside of it any scripts as well. Um so

where's the sort of middle ground for

this between like this completely free

form assistant who's just got the

ability to problem solve anything that

you needed to and these very structured

workflows. I mean you could even say the

old AI tools we used to have where it's

like input input pass them into a prompt

it comes out. How do you ensure

consistency for some of these tasks?

Like do you need to provide it with an

example of what you want this research

report to look like in the same way that

you do it for the say the podcasting

environment I'm setting up. Um how have

you sort of split it down the middle

there where you would kind of want the

report to come back in the same

structure each time. Um you do want

certain things to be included.

>> No, that's awesome. So

the way again this is brand new, right?

like the

>> expecting you to like explain your

workflow patterns. You got your your Mac

like 6 hours ago. Well, it's more of

like a discussion like where's it? Cuz

sometimes you're going to want like I

kind of want it this way. And I suppose

it can it can help you to create those

those patterns, right? And and create

those templates for it to fill up.

>> Yeah. So, for me, this is very like on

the- go things that I wish my executive

assistant could do without me having to

overexlain and kind of like direct here

and here and here. like let's say like

tell me about the latest video that came

out today that went viral like those

kinds of things really good at because

it can abstract those skills but for me

I have like eight claude code command

centers so if I'm trying to send an RFP

or a proposal to a client I have I'm

very particular like I usually go

through three four iterations until I

get it I don't want to wait because the

thing is now that's on Telegram your

mamillion brain is programmed to wait

for like what a minute or two before you

get a response if it takes 10 minutes

you start losing it but when you're

instead of in front of cloud code, you

know that you have to go grab a coffee

and come back before any magic happens.

So, different platforms for different

parts of your workflow, at least for

now.

>> AI maxing

>> is basically what it is like plugging

plugging a a certain need or scratching

a certain itch with a different type of

uh AI at every every part of your your

daily life. So, um yeah, this is super

super interesting, man. of how this

rolls out, whether it's like eventually

it consolidates into just one thing that

you're using um or you still have a

couple dedicated workspaces you set up

for certain things. Yeah, it's just it's

interesting because when I give it its

own laptop to work on and let's say it

does something wrong. So, one thing that

we're going to talk about shortly as

little Debbie Downers is what happens

when it comes to security. So, I saw a

bunch of tweets saying, you know, this

is insecure, this is insecure, be

careful of this. I taught it to scrape

X. So then I started sending it all the

tweets saying, can you make sure we're

covered on these security things? And

then it made its own notes in its notes

folder on like the things that were

covered for what it needs to implement.

So it can even make its own to-do list.

You don't need an obsidian. You don't

need a notion. You could it has the same

access as an employee with a laptop. And

that's why all the use cases that need

to exist don't exist yet.

>> Man, it's exciting, man.

>> It's insane. But we do have to talk

about the elephant in the room, the crab

in the room, which is security. So if

you go on X, you'll find tons of people

warning, sounding the alarms that this

is actually a picture of people around

the world that have spun up Clawbot on a

server. So this is the blast radius of

chaos. And if you don't know what you're

doing, yes, it can be cheaper than

buying a two grand Mac Mini, but if you

don't know what you're doing, there's so

many vectors that an IT person or a

hacker can use to get access to your

personal laptop, your WhatsApp, your

funds, your credit cards. So even though

this is super cool, well, I'm going to

like emphasize this, there are a lot of

consequences if you don't separate your

life. So even when when I created my

employee Clawudette, she has her own

iCloud account. She has her own brand

new email. Everything is completely

separate from me.

>> And so what's the like where's the the

danger zone? Is it if you're running

this locally on your own machine and it

has access to all of your stuff on your

on your uh main machine.

>> Yes. So you have different tiers. Tier

one, let's say you're purely local. So

you have a local model. It's in Docker

and you're running it locally. The only

blast radius is it might nuke all your

files on your computer, right? If you if

it's actually on your personal computer.

Number two is if you run it and it's

using the cloud and you are giving it

your actual WhatsApp and you have a

bunch of what are called ports open for

different services. If you don't secure

those ports, people can take advantage

of those and once they're in one, they

can find their way to tunnel into the

rest of your services or files or

whatever. That's number two.

>> So that's mainly like a a a breach of

what you thought were private files,

right? like if you've got I don't know

API keys or you've got login and

password or

I hope you're not chucking those in the

MD files. But um yeah, personal stuff

that you don't want don't want getting

out there.

>> Yeah. And then there's even there's more

tiers. Again, I'm not the full expert,

so do your own due diligence, but like

even with the keys that you give it,

let's say you give it the 11 Labs API

key. Let's say you give it the I don't

know, GitHub. A lot of people are using

it for GitHub where they're like, you

know what, go look on my vibe coded app

while I sleep. go come up with a series

of improvements and work on it until I

wake up. Theoretically, beautiful. But

behind the scenes, if you give it full

access to all of your GitHub and let's

say you're an agency and you have actual

client projects and someone gets a

handle for that GitHub and you've

enabled the key to access everything,

not just one repo, it could be a

disaster. So,

>> okay, just scoping scoping those keys is

important.

>> Yeah. So, just scoping that out. And I

have a little bit of a checklist here.

Again, not meant to glaze over your eyes

of the audience, but if you want to

deploy it locally, there's this mode

called sandbox mode. All I did is

literally asked Warp to talk to Cloudbot

and make sure we running in sandbox

mode. Um, if you want to self-host,

obviously local models is the safest

way. If you have credentials and

secrets, make sure that you put them

into secrets managers. You don't share

sensitive files. You you don't just put

a series of API keys in like an open

JSON that anyone can access. And then

you have all kinds of things around

monitoring, making sure that maybe you

have a cap on your API keys, so you

don't have a thousand dollars on

anthropic API ready to go. Maybe you got

like 20 bucks and it reloads for five

bucks every single time. So there's

layers of fail safes. So this is all we

know now, but there's going to be a lot

more because I'm pretty sure someone's

going to take advantage of this.

>> Yeah. So Mark and I had a bit of a

brainstorm on ways to make money with

this. And these are obviously very early

stage. A lot of it is kind of arbitrage,

but it does go back to the kind of core

core principles of of the AI agency and

and AI services. So, uh, the obvious one

here is that with great power comes

great opportunity. Oh, I literally made

that up on the spot, but that makes a

lot of sense. When there's new powers

and there's new new there's Jarvis in a

on a on a local machine, uh, businesses

are going to be or some businesses, if

you can position it correctly, are going

to be interested in paying for this. So

that would involve you starting off just

uh setting it up for yourself. Do the uh

do the cloud host version first. Get a

feel for it. Once you're sure you've

kind of figured out the best workflows

for it, how to set them up quickly, you

could look to do it yourself. Purchase

one locally and then use that as a as a

template uh to offer that to businesses

as well. Um small businesses in your

area saying, "Hey, I can set this up for

you." The big issue here is the

education gap on what the hell this is.

cuz you guys are probably already an AI

enthusiast and you're watching this to

try to just like understand this uh as

the rest of us are. So there's going to

be a huge gap between where you are and

communicating this value. It's likely

going to be one of those cases of where

don't really tell them what like tell

them what what they're going to get out

of it. Don't try to explain all the AI

stuff under the hood. Just like I can do

X for you. Um here's how much it costs.

Like do you want this result? um

probably a personal assistant set up for

a founder or a CEO or a seuite person um

is uh the way to go here. Someone who's

got uh a lot of the the time is very

valuable. And like Mark said, having a

personal assistant that can sort of have

the ability to access the right things

and and do little uh little admin tasks

for them and offering that as a service

to sell those to businesses or even to

individuals maybe to like targeting

entrepreneurs who are busy and want to

have more time. Uh so setting these up

for them would be a great service. I

would also add in set up as a service,

set up as a education product as well.

Like you could drop a $97 course right

now on how to get the most out of it and

set it up. And as long as you have the

the the means to market it, then that's

an opportunity as well. So either the

service based approach and then the uh

the info approach. Uh the service one's

probably going to be again it's always

like how effectively can you market? If

you have an audience already, then it's

probably easier to sell the sell the

information. If you are starting off,

it's easy to do reachouts to find one or

two people who will pay you a few grand

for this uh rather than trying to get

thousands of people to buy your $97

course. All right, so the VA agency, not

to knock our VA friends, but it's no

secret that we're probably not far from

the point where a lot of normal VA tasks

are genuinely fully automatable and it's

affordable and it's cheaper than the 6

to 10 bucks an hour that you'd spend. So

the opportunity here is the assistance

in a box kind of like business in a box

but imagine you have let's say a

one-time setup that setup could be again

on cloud you could literally sell them

with a premium a Mac mini and install it

and set it up for them and install the

packages and then you have

>> can already I could already see the pics

on you know how you see like the the

like the SMS or the WhatsApp bot farms

and it's like the phones in it or it's

like the the gambling bot farms and it's

all these gambling things of

Um, I can already see it, bro. All the

Mac minis lined up and it's like my

Clawude VA agency prints like 2 million

a month or something ridiculous. Yeah, I

can already see it. We're going to start

they're going to come from one of these

videos for sure. [laughter]

>> Yeah, that's our contribution to the

world. But yeah, like the theoretical

thing is if you can figure out how to

make this genuinely useful, like

everything I'm showing you here, right?

I want to pull this from my other screen

because I think it's useful. one year

ago almost like to the day. If I just

refresh this bad boy and we take a look

at this, like this was the hottest thing

on YouTube, which is the nadn Jarvis

where you manually had to set up all

these agents, all these nodes. These

would break all the time as you wanted

to change things, but every time you

wanted to add something new, teach it

something, you can't teach it something.

You can only build it something that it

can learn. So, we're going from this

into a world that's a lot more

plentiful. And with that, you can upsell

adding skills, you can make those skills

like across the board. You can um upsell

maintenance, you can upsell future

proofing, all kinds of stuff.

>> I mean, you can use these if you have an

upfront setup fee. You charge them, you

buy the Mac Mini, you set it up, uh, and

you have like a obviously an SOP on,

okay, we want the Ampify MCP plugged in

in a certain way. We want these default

skills out of the box. And you've got

like an SOP on how to set one of these

up. And then there's a bit of a teething

process to get them working on it.

You're setting up the telegram, you're

giving them access to it. Um, that's

that's repeatable. And I mean even

thinking about how you can add more

value to uh to them on top of that you

can have a hey I'm going to analyze your

transcripts occasionally whether you e

either create a skill that is almost

like a like a workflow tracer and it

will actually look back the conversation

figure out what it used and when and

then be able to like bake that into a

skill itself or like build it into some

sort of reusable workflow. so much to to

to build off of here, but I think you

guys can see the value in it. And before

you know it, like if each client is

paying 2K setup and then in a recurring

fee, $500 or $1,000 a month, um you can

very quickly spawn that whole like the

whole room or or warehouse full of Mac

monies running for your clients.

>> And I would even say like a play on

words a little bit, but if you remember,

I talked about that soul.md file that

contains like behavior. What if you got

the perfect behavior of the perfect

assistant and you started, wait for it,

selling soul MD files and like being

able to offer that like personal

assistant service prompt ready to go.

People have paid for prompts before. I

made my early living on that. So I know

they'll do it again. And the last one,

sir, uh the customer integrations here,

building custom skills and automations.

I think this is like the new SAS.

Basically, this is the in future we're

going to be relying pretty heavily on on

these these kinds of personal assistants

and the adding of skills. Uh we had we

once had MCPs. Uh we had chat GBT

plugins. Like all of these are just

attempts for platforms and providers and

SAS products to be able to hook into the

chat interface in a in an easy way and

give access to the functionality that

they've built their backend

functionality via the chat interface.

Like the chat interface is the new is

the new uh access point for everything

in our digital lives. And I think what

we're looking at here is an incredible

opportunity. I I wouldn't quite say the

App Store moment yet because we haven't

got the App Store, but this is like is

this is this the is this the iPhone

moment where like the the the thing is

there. We've now got like the open

source iPhone where you can kind of

build things on top of cuz it's it's so

tech bro to try and like the most tech

bro thing to try and like call it a the

X and Y. But where you don't have to

have if you're wanting to make a little

little startup now, for example, the

amount of people who need to be able to

pass in a YouTube URL and download the

MP3 and then get the proper

transcription, a high quality whisper

transcription of it, not just some

shitty like YouTube captions thing that

has no punctuation and barely knows what

was said. Um, I want a highquality

transcription and I'm going to pay

someone uh five bucks a month, $9 a

month. And before you know it, someone

who has one of these clawed account, our

claw bot account set up. And just like

there's going to be agencies who pop up

to like as in the previous example,

these really helpful but somewhat more

difficult and naturally not free. Uh

there's some sort of like money that

needs to be um exchanged hands to make

it worthwhile. these opportunities are

going to pop up everywhere. And I think

you're going to see some businesses that

just explode overnight because as more

people get onto this and it's like, "Oh,

this is the go-to thing for downloading

YouTube videos so that my agent has

ability to do that." Um, you get to

strip away the need for a fancy

interface and and UI and front-end

design and all of that crap that comes

with SAS. Just focus on what is the

functionality that I want to really

focus on. How can I make that as

valuable as possible? And just make that

available to some agents like this where

I'm getting listed on a marketplace

doing my own marketing. But there's a

real real opportunity here finally and I

think it's massively reduced the

difficulty bar for getting into SAS and

that you just focus on the backend

functionality make it available to

agents rather than having to build some

fancy skin around it.

>> Yeah, absolutely. And I would say one

more thing to think about is when it

comes to the skills specifically those

like are going to become expectations

and to me this might not be a moment. I

don't want to cap and say that, but what

we could say is this is the beginning of

a brand new expectation from the

consumer. Meaning once this really gets

into mainstream, it's already going

viral. The expectation of what a

personal assistant is is going to be

much higher. So when Siri uses Gemini, I

think this year they're going to like

work together and next year we have

laptops, people will start asking the

question, why is Siri just a voice

thing? Why can't she interact with

everything and do X, Y, and Z? So

expectations from the consumer will

change from this point onwards.

>> I mean when you see this being rolled

out into well the equivalent Apple

attempting surely if solo dev can can uh

can cook this up himself by what's the

sound of uh what happened here then

Apple can make some sort of decent

competitor. But going back to what I was

saying about these sort of like little

little skills or or or functionalities

that these kinds of agents are going to

need once it becomes rolled out via

something like Siri and those same

things can be integrated whether Apple's

going to force you to do it through an

app on their phone or they're going to

say hey what you know what we have to

allow people to go outside of the Apple

ecosystem. Um we want our Siri for our

Siri to be competitive. it needs to be

able to hook into. We can give

permissions for them to add in their own

third party things that are kind of out

in the out in the ether.

I don't know how Apple I feel about that

if I'm honest, but [laughter] dreams are

free, you know,

>> 100%.

>> Um, so yeah, that's a bunch of ways to

make money with it. I think uh if you

guys have any sort of business sense,

you'll be smelling a bit of opportunity

here. not only just for us in the near

term to brush up on this and to get our

own one set up and see how far we can

push it to max out our productivity in

this new era of of AI that we've we've

similarly stepped into here. Uh but also

looking at how if you're an agency you

can roll this into your services. Uh

just like a few days ago I was telling

everyone how teaching companies how to

understand claw code and set up their

own workspaces as a service was a thing.

This seems to be like the the new

frontier on that. So yeah, it's just

it's so great to be in this phase now. I

think uh last year was a little bit

slow, but I feel like we're absolutely

like cooking this year on new releases

and I'm so excited for uh for what's to

come this year based off what we've had

already.

>> Yeah, it's already not even the end of

2026 and it feels like it's been a year.

So especially on the education side, you

could have taught Claude code alone.

Then a week later, you could teach cloud

code and co-work. And now you could

teach cloud code, co-work, and cloudbot.

And then you could probably keep

stacking on top of that. So

>> the education piece is is huge and like

as the stuff runs off further into the

distance, companies are still in the

same spot and the the amount of like

monetizable space between where the tech

is and where these companies are. The

same the automation that was available

in sort of mid 2023 that like millions

of businesses still need is is still

sitting there. Um all the way up to uh

this stuff at the at the very uh cutting

edge of of what's going on in the AI

space now. So uh what a time to be

alive. what it's time to be in this uh

in this space. So Mark, mate, I really

appreciate you coming on and uh sharing

your sharing your source uh as always.

And so if you guys want to check out

Mark's channel, he's always pumping out

some great content on claw code. Um

well, Claudebot as well now, I'm sure.

And anything at the at the cutting edge

of uh of AI. So I appreciate you,

brother. Thank you for coming on.

>> Thanks for having me again. Cheers. That

is all for the pod, guys. Like I said,

if you want to grab my full setup guide

for Claudebot so that you can do it the

right way in just a few minutes without

all the risks, that'll be in the first

link in the description. And inside

that, I've also including a breakdown of

each of those ways to make money with a

bit more information so that you know

how to take action on it right now. And

if you want to learn more about how to

start an AI business by selling services

and products like this, you can check

out my full guide on starting an AI

business which is available up here.

That's all for the video, guys. Thank

you so much for watching. I'll see you

in the next one.
