Happy Thursday!
I'm building a private community called TKOwners for people who want to turn all these insights into real businesses. We have a slack channel where we drop insane AI tools and possibilities everyday. If you're serious about staying ahead of this AI revolution, check it out at tkowners.com. It's where the hundreds of action-takers hang out.
Okay, let’s get into it.
There are billion-dollar companies out there that have no clue how AI works. Right now, if you walk in knowing even a little more than they do, you look like a magician.
They will pay for that… pay a lot. Consulting, training, building simple tools, whatever shape it takes. The window where one person with a laptop can walk into a boardroom and genuinely blow their minds is open right now. It will not stay open forever because the companies who figure this out will hire internally and stop paying outside people to teach them. But that hasn't happened yet, and you can jump on this today.
My friend Nik decided to take a job in Corporate America (after years of entrepreneurship) just to test how much they knew. He wanted to discover how he could leverage his knowledge of AI in that world.
He discovered- the first day- that they are completely clueless. So he spent 10+ hours a day in this corporate job- testing AI tools and building workflows- to sell back to them.
The tool he’s most pumped about, is OpenClaw. (It runs directly on your computer, and it turns an AI model like Claude or ChatGPT into a personal assistant that gets to know you.)
Nik uses it to prep for meetings, track commitments he made to people, write first drafts of documents, and search through years of past conversations instantly. Stuff that used to take him hours takes a few minutes now. If this gets you excited to try it out, check out the YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.
You can connect OpenClaw to your emails, your calendar, your documents, your past conversations, and it builds a running profile of you and your work. Then you just ask it questions and it already knows the context.
Okay, I am not sponsored by or pushing this tool. If you already use a different agentic platform that works for you, great, but Nik talked about how much it changed the game for him- so I wanted to give the how-to:
Step 1: Install It
Go to GitHub.com and search OpenClaw.
On the repository page you’ll see installation instructions. Most people install it by running a short command in Terminal (Mac) or Command Prompt (Windows) that downloads and sets everything up on your computer.
It takes a few minutes and the instructions walk you through it step by step.
Once installed, OpenClaw runs locally on your machine. That means your files stay on your computer. The only time information leaves your machine is when OpenClaw sends a request to an AI model like Claude or GPT to process something.
Step 2: Connect an AI Model
OpenClaw itself is not the AI. Think of it as the control center. You connect it to an AI model like Claude or ChatGPT.
To do this you create an account with one of those companies and generate something called an API key. (An API key is basically a password that lets OpenClaw send requests to the AI model on your behalf.)
Both OpenAI and Anthropic have simple guides that can walk you through generating one.
You pay per request, not a subscription- for most people the cost is small because the models charge fractions of a cent per prompt.
Nik runs most of his workflow through Claude for the heavier reasoning tasks and a cheaper model for simpler things.
Most months he spends around $20 to $50 total.
Step 3: Feed It Your Data
OpenClaw becomes powerful when it has your history.
Export and connect things like:
• ChatGPT conversation history
• Claude conversation history
• Email archives
• Notion or Google Docs
Now you can ask questions like:
“What have I been working on the last three months?”
“What did I promise this client last week?”
The output quality depends on the input. If your files are messy, spend some time organizing first.
You can 100% turn this AI knowledge into a full-fledged business. I talk to small business owners every week. The biggest thing killing their growth isn’t lack of ideas, their product or the market. It’s speed.
A lead comes in after hours. A form, a DM, a call. No response until morning. By then, they’ve already booked with whoever answered first.
HighLevel fixes that with their AI Employee. It answers calls, responds to texts and DMs, qualifies leads, and books appointments automatically.
And speaking of selling AI to corporations- you can white label their whole platform. Put your logo on it and sell it as your own software. People charge $200 to $500 per month per client without writing a single line of code. And the business owners think you’re a genius.
If you run a service business, or want to start one, this is the tool. Go to gohighlevel.com/tkopod and get a 30 day free trial.
Step 4: Use it in your Day to Day
This is what will change the game. You can use these skills for yourself and then sell the built out tools to corporations that will pay big money for this.
-Before a meeting
Ask it to summarize everything relevant about the person you’re about to meet. It can scan your past emails, notes, and conversations and give you a quick briefing so you walk in prepared.
-After a meeting
Paste in a transcript or quick notes and ask it what decisions were made and what follow-ups are needed. It can log commitments so nothing slips through the cracks. It will:
summarize decisions
list commitments
flag follow-ups
Two minutes after every meeting and you now have a searchable archive of every conversation. Six months later you can ask: “What did we agree about pricing in March?”
-Drafts
Use it to generate first drafts of emails, proposals, or summaries. Because it learns from your past writing, the output tends to sound much closer to your normal voice.
-Information overload
Paste in long documents, transcripts, or email threads and ask for the key actions. It can reduce a wall of text into a short list of things you actually need to do.
-Task tracking
Ask it what commitments you’ve made recently or what follow-ups are outstanding. Instead of relying on memory, you can query your own work history.
-Idea capture
Drop random thoughts, ideas, or notes into it throughout the day. Later you can ask it to organize them into themes, projects, or notifications for your team.
Most companies have no system for these things. You could charge thousands to set this up for them.
Start This Week:
Go set up OpenClaw, you learn it well, and charge companies to do the same for them.
A basic setup and training session for an executive team runs $2,000 to $5,000. You connect it to their email and calendar, fill out their profile and memory files with their business context, show them how to use it day to day, and you're done in a few hours. That's a day's work.
Corporations will also pay for ongoing access to you, a monthly retainer to keep their system updated, train new employees on it, and keep them current on what's new. $2,000 to $10,000 a month per client is not a stretch. Get three clients and you've replaced most people's full time salary without an office, without employees, and with a minimal time commitment.
Setup takes a few hours. It’ll likely be a bit confusing so utilize ChatGPT to really walk you through the kinks. Install it, fill out the files, connect your apps, and add your data.
But once it’s running, it compounds. The longer you use it, the more useful it becomes.
If you really dig in, you’ll have a working version tonight.
And again- if you want to see more of the setup, ingest the whole conversation with Nik on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.
You can just do things.
Lastly, I'm always looking for cool, unique businesses to share on my podcasts. If you have one and are comfortable sharing your journey, drop your info here!
Have a great week!

P.S. I share deep dives on business ideas and complete playbooks three times a week on YouTube and every podcast platform.
