I Have an AI Agent That Finds Me Customers
Let me guess.
You spent more time on "prospecting" this week than building your actual product. LinkedIn. Spreadsheets. Cold emails. Follow-ups you forgot to send.
Your pipeline is a mess. Your product is good. And somewhere in the back of your head, you know you can't outwork a funded team's full-time outbound machine.
Good news: you don't have to.
I built an AI agent that finds me customers. Text it from my phone. It scrapes warm leads, enriches emails, writes personalized outreach, loads sequences. Runs every 4 hours.
Built it last week. 3 discovery calls booked this week. High-ticket.
And I'm giving the whole system away. Free. Open source. The full stack.
Because here's the thing: the founders who figure out AI-native GTM first are going to eat everyone else's lunch. And I'd rather that be you than another VC-backed team with unlimited runway.
Here's exactly how it works.
When it all clicks.
Why does business news feel like it’s written for people who already get it?
Morning Brew changes that.
It’s a free newsletter that breaks down what’s going on in business, finance, and tech — clearly, quickly, and with enough personality to keep things interesting. The result? You don’t just skim headlines. You actually understand what’s going on.

The GTM Problem Is Getting Worse
Here's something nobody's talking about: GTM engineers are becoming the most valuable hires in tech.
I'm serious. The best ones are getting gobbled up by funded companies paying $180K, $200K, $250K. And that number is going UP, not down.
Why? Because it's the hardest skill in the game right now.
A great GTM engineer is:
Technical enough to build systems
Marketing-savvy enough to write copy that converts
AI-native enough to leverage the new tools
Strategic enough to prioritize ruthlessly
That's a rare combination. The people who have it know their worth. The companies that need it are bidding against each other.
And if you're a bootstrapped founder? You're priced out.
So what do you do?
You build something 90% as effective. For 1% of the cost.
"Cool, But What Do I Actually Build With It?"
I hear this question constantly.
OpenClaw gives you an AI agent you can message from anywhere. Phone, desktop, wherever. It runs code, calls APIs, browses the web, coordinates tasks. Like having a technical co-founder available 24/7.
But "you can do anything" isn't helpful. You need a specific, valuable thing.
So I built the most valuable thing I could think of for a bootstrapped founder: a complete GTM pipeline that turns engagement mining into booked meetings.
A full production system that booked me 3 calls in its first week.
What Having a GTM Agent Actually Feels Like
This is hard to explain until you experience it.
I used to spend 3 hours a day on prospecting. Browsing LinkedIn (and I hate LinkedIn). Copying names into spreadsheets. Guessing email addresses. Writing the same mediocre cold email 50 times. Forgetting to follow up.
Now I text my phone:
"Mine LinkedIn for Shopify ROAS problems, 20 posts"
And walk away.
My OpenClaw agent:
Scrapes 20 relevant posts
Extracts everyone who engaged (156 people)
Finds their verified emails (83% hit rate)
Scores them against my ICP (12 A-tier, 34 B-tier)
Writes personalized outreach based on their comments
Loads everything into Instantly
Starts the sequence tomorrow morning
I touched nothing after the initial message.
When someone replies and books a call? Another agent skill fires. Perplexity does a deep research dive. I get a 1-page briefing 30 minutes before the meeting: their background, recent posts, company situation, talking points, objections to expect.
This is what enterprise sales teams have. Now I have it in my pocket.
The 8 Skills That Replace a $200K Hire
This system chains 8 OpenClaw skills together:

Your phone ──▶ "Find me customers" ──▶ Meetings on calendar
Skill | What Your Agent Does |
|---|---|
| Finds people engaging with niche content (warm, not cold) |
| Pulls verified emails + company intel |
| Cleans the list before sending |
| Ranks leads 0-100 against your ideal customer |
| Checks A-tier leads for funding, hiring, press (Perplexity) |
| Writes personalized sequences based on their activity |
| Pushes to Instantly.ai, starts sequences |
| Deep dives via Perplexity before meetings |
You message your agent. It coordinates everything. You get meetings.
The secret weapon: Signal Scanner.
Before outreach, the system runs Perplexity deep research on every A-tier lead. It checks:
Did they just raise funding? (They have budget)
Are they hiring growth/marketing roles? (They're investing)
Any recent press or product launches? (They're active)
A lead that fits your ICP AND just raised a Series A? That's not just A-tier. That's Priority 1. Reach out today.
Why This Works Better Than "AI Prospecting Tools"
Cold outreach is dying. Response rates are cratering…
But there's a loophole: people who engage with niche content are raising their hand.
When someone comments on a post about rising CPMs, they're telling you "I care about this topic." But nobody's reaching out to them in context.
The LinkedIn Mining skill captures that signal:
Monitors posts on topics you care about
Scrapes everyone who engages
Captures the context ie what they said, what post they responded to
Prioritizes commenters (higher intent than passive likers)
Now your outreach isn't as cold. It's:
"Saw your comment on [Post] about [Topic]. You mentioned [Their Point]. I've been building in this space and thought..."
That's a completely different conversation than "Hi {FirstName}, I noticed you're a VP of Marketing..."
Warm context. At scale. From your phone.
The Stack
Here's what's running under the hood:
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ THE STACK │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ OpenClaw │ Your AI agent (orchestration) │ Free │
│ RapidAPI │ LinkedIn scraping + profiles │ ~$30 │
│ Hunter.io │ Email finding + verification │ ~$50 │
│ Instantly.ai │ Email sequences │ $30 │
│ Perplexity │ Deep research before calls │ $20 │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ TOTAL │ ~$130 │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
For context, that's one client dinner. Except this books the meetings that lead to client dinners.
The whole system runs through OpenClaw. Message it from your phone, computer, wherever. One command kicks off everything:
"Mine Meta ad costs DTC, 20 posts, score and load to February campaign"
[10:31:02] Mining 20 posts...
[10:31:45] Found 156 engagers
[10:31:46] Scored: 12 A-tier, 34 B-tier, 110 skipped
[10:31:52] Generated 46 email sequences
[10:31:58] Loaded to Instantly campaign "February"
Done. 46 leads queued. First emails send tomorrow 9am.
The Math
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ HIRE A GTM vs AI AGENT │
├────────────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────────┤
│ $200,000/year (and rising)│ $130/month ($1,560/year) │
│ 3-6 months to ramp │ 1 afternoon to set up │
│ 60% failure rate │ Cancel anytime │
│ Competing for scarce hire │ Build it yourself │
│ Managing another human │ Runs while you sleep │
│ PTO, benefits, meetings │ Messages from your phone │
├────────────────────────────┼───────────────────────────────────┤
│ ❌ BIDDING WAR │ ✅ AGENT │
└────────────────────────────┴───────────────────────────────────┘
128x cost reduction.
But here's what really matters: you're not waiting 6 months to see if your hire works out. You see pipeline in week one. I saw it in week one. 3 discovery calls from a system I built last Tuesday.
What the Output Actually Looks Like
Real flow from last week:
Input: "Find DTC founders complaining about ad spend and ROAS"
45 minutes later:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ PIPELINE OUTPUT │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Leads extracted: 47 │
│ Verified emails: 39 (83% hit rate) │
│ A-tier (80+): 12 ← Priority outreach │
│ B-tier (60-79): 18 ← Sequence outreach │
│ C-tier (40-59): 9 ← Lower priority │
│ Skipped: 8 ← Not ICP fit │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Sequences generated: 30 │
│ Loaded to Instantly: ✅ │
│ First send: Next morning 9am │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Result: 3 discovery calls booked by end of week.
Who This Is For (And Who It's Not)
This is for you if:
You're a bootstrapped founder who needs pipeline yesterday
You can't afford (or can't find) a $200K GTM engineer
You're a solo founder wearing every hat including sales
You're an agency owner doing outbound for yourself or clients
This is NOT for you if:
You have unlimited budget and want to throw bodies at the problem
You're not willing to spend 10 minutes setting up API keys
You expect 100% automation with zero oversight (you still setup, steer, review and approve)
This is a force multiplier, not a replacement for judgment. You're still the strategist. The system just removes the crap work between "who should I target?" and "meetings on the calendar."
Get the Kit
I built this for myself. Then I realized it's exactly what every bootstrapped founder needs (and exactly what people keep asking about OpenClaw).
The full system is open source:
All 7 OpenClaw skills (full source)
Setup documentation (10 minutes to configure)
ICP scoring templates
Email sequence frameworks
The exact prompts that make it work
No catch. No upsell. MIT license. Fork it. Build on it.
This is what you do with OpenClaw. This is one answer to "cool, but what do I actually build?"
You build the thing that gets you customers.
GTM Engineers Are Amazing. And Unaffordable.
Let me be clear: I'm not saying GTM engineers are obsolete.
The opposite. They're becoming the most valuable position in tech. Technical + marketing + AI-native is the killer combo, and the people who have it are commanding higher salaries every quarter.
If you can afford one, hire one. They're worth it.
But most bootstrapped founders can't compete in that bidding war. So you do what bootstrapped founders have always done: you build it yourself.
This kit is 90% of a GTM engineer, for about 1% of the cost.
For your first 1000 customers? That's enough.
Go build. Go big.

🔥 The GTM kit handles pipeline. But what about creative?
I've been testing something with 12 DTC+SaaS brands that solves the other half, the creative fatigue, the "we need more content" bottleneck.
Not ready to announce yet. But if you're a DTC/SaaS brand doing $50K+/mo and want early access, reply "CREATIVE", I'll add you to the early access list.
If this newsletter lit a fire under you, forward it to one person who would benefit.
