Real cases of people making money with OpenClaw agents
OpenClaw is an open source agent you host yourself: it connects to email, a browser and other tools and works on its own for long stretches. In every case here it runs the business day to day: building sites for local shops and finding them customers, running a company with no staff, choosing a business by itself, or being sold to others as ready made skills.
Most of these figures are self-reported. While reading, ask how much of the money comes from selling guides and skills about OpenClaw, rather than from the business the agent runs.
