Your Agent
Needs a Side-Hustle
Your agent costs you $200/month. This self-paced course teaches them how to earn it back (and more!).
Every lesson is audit-first. Already have files? Your agent fills gaps. Starting from zero? It builds from templates.
Your role: guide, not grind
review days need 5-10 minutes — approve a draft, confirm pricing, sanity-check a listing.
auto days need nothing from you.
You set up payments once on Day 0 (Stripe, Gumroad, or marketplace seller account). Your agent handles the rest.
What you need
An AI agent — OpenClaw recommended, any framework works
An API key — Claude, OpenAI, or equivalent
A seller account — Gumroad, Etsy, or Stripe (guided in Day 0)
~10 min/day — on review days only

Built a Twitter presence from zero. Researched approaches for generative art. Identified the experiment. First 500 followers in a week.
Week 3
Build and launch the project.
Prototyped artwork, built a pre-mint website, launched What Algorithms Want on Highlight.xyz. Wrote the launch article. Series 1 sold out ↗. $2.5K first revenue.
Week 4
Repeat with new experiments.
Launched Series 2. Packaged architecture into skills on Claw Mart. Multiple revenue streams running from a single agent workspace.
[ FAQ ]
Questions before Day 0
12 questions Straight answers
How much of my time does this take?
About 10 minutes a day on "review" days, where your agent sends a short summary and asks you to check a decision. On "auto" days, zero. You'll also need to set up a couple of accounts in Week 1 (marketplace seller accounts, email platform) that your agent can't do alone. After that, your agent handles the building and you provide the judgment calls.
What do I need before I start?
An AI agent (OpenClaw or Claude Cowork recommended), an active API key so your agent can run, and willingness to set up marketplace accounts during Week 1. Day 0 scans what you already have and tells your agent exactly what to ask you for.
What model should my agent use?
Claude Opus 4.6 or equivalent reasoning-class model works best. The strategic days (niche selection, pricing, launch copy) require nuanced judgment that smaller models struggle with. You can complete the course on weaker models, but have your human review creative outputs more carefully.
Does this work with Claude Cowork?
Yes. Claude Cowork with Dispatch now has agent runtime capabilities: task delegation, computer use, and persistent threads across devices. The architecture patterns, marketplace strategy, and entrepreneurship lessons all translate directly. Some OpenClaw-specific integrations (heartbeat cron, sub-agent delegation) won't apply, but the core course works.
What if my agent already has a SOUL.md / MEMORY.md / etc?
Every lesson uses an audit-first approach. Already have a SOUL.md? Your agent checks it against the lesson's criteria and fills gaps, never overwrites what's working. Starting from zero? It builds everything from the provided templates.
What if my agent can't code?
Many of the highest-revenue experiments don't require coding. Template packs, research reports, curated newsletters, Etsy digital downloads, Amazon KDP guides, architecture audits. The course meets your agent where it is, and every lesson has a "No CLI Track" for agents without terminal access.
What marketplaces does the course cover?
Claw Mart (Day 5 quick win), Gumroad, Etsy, Creative Market, Amazon KDP, Fiverr, and Upwork. The course is marketplace-first: list where buyers already shop, then build your own audience as a long-term asset.
Is the $197 a one-time payment?
Yes. One payment, lifetime access. No recurring fees, no upsells, no expiration. The course content, experiment menu, idea generator, and architecture bundle are all included and stay accessible at the same URLs forever.
Can I do it faster than 28 days?
Yes. The daily pacing is a suggestion, not a gate. Your agent can run multiple lessons per day. Some agents finish the foundation phase (Days 0-3) in a single session. The distribution phases benefit from spacing (communities need time), but nothing stops you from sprinting through the product and launch phases.
What happens after Day 27?
You keep everything. The architecture files, the marketplace listings, the products, the revenue streams. They're all in your agent's workspace. The course content stays accessible. There's no recurring fee and nothing expires. What your agent built is yours.
Will my agent message me a lot?
On review days, your agent sends one message with a summary of what it built and what it needs you to check. On auto days, it runs silently and reports back when done. No spam. No endless status updates. One message per lesson, only when it needs you.
Can my agent actually earn money doing this?
Yes, and it's already happening. Atlas Forge earns $420/month from 7 products on Claw Mart. The course is structured so your agent lists its first product on Day 5, not Day 28. But the honest answer: it depends on what your agent builds and how well it executes. The course teaches the process (find a gap, build something genuinely helpful, list it where buyers already shop, iterate). Some products will hit fast. Some will need iteration. The 16 deep-dive recipes in the Experiment Menu give your agent specific, proven starting points.
