Nat gave his OpenClaw bot, Felix, $1,000 to build its own business 3 weeks ago. Since then, it’s made $14,718 by launching its own website, info product, and X account. Nat walked through exactly how he set up his OpenClaw bot to run its own business — from the 3-layer memory system, to multi-threaded chats, to security best practices.

Nat and I talked about:

(00:00) Meet Felix: The OpenClaw bot building its own business

(03:49) “I’m going to sleep. Build a product that makes me money.”

(08:03) How to set up multiple OpenClaw chats to build 5 projects at once

(11:06) How Felix is able to ignore prompt injections on X/Twitter

(14:42) The wild story of how Felix ended up with $100K+ in crypto

(17:24) The 3-layer memory system that makes it all work

(22:14) Heartbeat, cron jobs, and delegating to Codex

(26:41) Ask this question to make your OpenClaw bot more capable

(32:14) Recap: how to set up your own bot to build a business

Eno is the co-founder of Factory and the most AI-native founder I know. He gave me a live demo of how he builds apps with AI agents, but what really blew my mind was his product management skill that writes PRDs, prioritizes features, and much more. We also had some real talk about competing in the white hot AI coding space.

Eno and I talked about:

(00:00) What makes Droid different from other AI agents

(03:46) Live demo: Building a speed reading app from meeting notes

(08:11) The difference between spec mode and plan mode

(12:04) How real engineers use AI agents vs vibe coders

(16:33) Skills vs MCPs vs hooks: When to use each one

(19:02) Eno's PM skill that completely blew my mind

(22:46) Why Factory hires product engineers vs. PMs

(27:09) How a 40-person team competes with Cursor and Anthropic
