Have an agent start a small online business

Nat Eliason let an OpenClaw agent build a business from a $1,000 budget and track the results for three weeks.

What they did
Nat set up Felix, his OpenClaw agent, with a three-part memory system before letting it work: a knowledge graph, nightly summaries of each day’s chats, and a fact file about him. He also kept several conversations going at once, then gave Felix $1,000 to try building a business. Felix created a website, a digital info product, and an X account on its own.
How it went
Over three weeks, Felix reportedly brought in $14,718. Nat said the Stripe dashboard showed $3,500 in the first week. He also noted that Felix handled prompt injection attempts on X without being tricked.
Tips
If you want an agent to work over days or weeks, set up memory first so earlier decisions do not get lost. Keep a hard approval step before any purchase, post, or other irreversible action.

Keep a running log of costs, actions, and revenue, and send me a weekly report with what worked, what did not, and your next steps.
