clawdbot just hit 20k github stars in 2 days.
but nobody's telling YOU how to actually make money with it.
here's the complete breakdown of every way you can turn this free ai assistant into real $$$.
what is clawdbot
quick context if you missed it:
open source ai assistant that runs 24/7 on your computer
lives in whatsapp, telegram, discord, slack, imessage
can browse the web, write code, manage files, send emails
remembers conversations for weeks
learns your preferences over time
writes its own plugins to learn new skills
one guy rebuilt his entire website via telegram while watching netflix. another automated 1000+ voice message transcriptions. someone else had it fight their insurance company and win.
now let's talk money.
1. sell "done for you" outreach services
clawdbot can run your entire lead gen operation while you sleep.
here's the workflow:
tell it to scrape linkedin/reddit/twitter for people matching your icp
have it research each prospect (company size, recent posts, pain points)
generate personalized cold emails using that research
send follow-ups automatically on a schedule
book calls directly on your calendar when someone replies
what to charge:
charge clients $1,000-3,000/month for "managed outreach"
you handle the setup and monitoring
clawdbot does the actual work 24/7
10 clients at $1,500/month = $15k/month
the key is positioning. you're not selling "ai outreach." you're selling "we book qualified calls on your calendar."
2. build and sell micro-saas products overnight
clawdbot can code entire applications while you sleep.
the process:
before bed, describe exactly what you want built in plain english
wake up to working code
test it, fix bugs through conversation
deploy and start selling
real examples people have built:
chrome extensions
simple web apps
telegram/discord bots
internal tools for businesses
api wrappers
browser automation scripts
how to monetize:
sell one-time licenses for $49-199
charge monthly subscriptions $9-49/month
build 10 small tools, one will hit
or sell the tools to businesses as "custom development" for $2k-10k each
one person built a complete ios app with maps and voice recording, deployed to testflight entirely through telegram chat.
3. content repurposing agency
creators are drowning in content demands. they make one youtube video and need it everywhere.
clawdbot workflow:
feed it a youtube video transcript
have it generate a twitter thread version
then a linkedin post version
then a blog article version
then email newsletter version
then short-form video scripts
what makes this valuable:
clawdbot remembers the creator's voice and style
it learns their audience preferences over time
it can schedule and post automatically
it runs while you sleep so content goes out at optimal times
pricing model:
charge $300-500/month per creator
handle 20-30 clients with minimal daily work
clawdbot does the heavy lifting
20 clients at $400/month = $8k/month
4. 24/7 customer support for other saas companies
most small saas founders handle support themselves. it's exhausting.
the opportunity:
set up clawdbot to monitor their support channels
train it on their product docs and faq
have it respond to common questions instantly
escalate complex issues to the founder
send you alerts only when human intervention needed
someone already did this:
one guy set up clawdbot to watch their company slack
it responds helpfully to questions
forwards important notifications to telegram
it autonomously fixed a production bug without being asked
pricing:
charge $200-500/month per client
position it as "24/7 support coverage"
they save money vs hiring a support person
you collect recurring revenue while clawdbot works
30 clients at $300/month = $9k/month
5. automated research and monitoring service
clawdbot can track anything on the internet and compile reports.
use cases businesses will pay for:
competitor monitoring (pricing changes, new features, blog posts)
industry news digests (pull from 50+ sources, summarize daily)
social media mention tracking
job posting monitoring (track who's hiring for specific roles)
patent/trademark monitoring
regulatory change alerts
the workflow:
set up rss feeds and web scrapers
have clawdbot analyze and summarize daily
send reports to clients via email or slack
alert them immediately on important changes
someone built exactly this:
someone added vector search to bookmark management
community member built memory vault that indexes whatsapp exports
another guy set up tradingview chart screenshots with technical analysis
pricing model:
charge $300-800/month depending on complexity
agencies and startups will pay this easily
one setup runs indefinitely
15 clients at $500/month = $7,500/month
6. virtual assistant replacement service
clawdbot literally makes human vas unnecessary for many tasks.
quote from twitter: "no need for vas anymore. shits about to get real!!!"
what clawdbot can replace:
email management (sorting, responding, flagging)
calendar scheduling (finding times, sending invites)
travel booking (finding flights, checking in, seat selection)
data entry and organization
invoice generation and follow-ups
social media scheduling
how to sell this:
target busy professionals and small business owners
offer "ai-powered executive assistant" services
charge $500-1,500/month (cheaper than a human va)
one clawdbot setup handles multiple clients
the key differentiator:
it works 24/7 (human vas don't)
it never forgets context (human vas do)
it can do things in parallel (human vas can't)
10 clients at $800/month = $8k/month
7. technical analysis and trading alerts
clawdbot can monitor markets and send you actionable signals.
what's already been built:
someone logged into tradingview via browser automation
screenshots charts automatically
performs technical analysis on demand
no api needed, just browser control
the business model:
build trading alert systems for crypto/stocks
monitor specific patterns you define
send alerts via telegram/whatsapp instantly
compile end-of-day analysis reports
how to monetize:
sell access to your alert channel ($50-200/month)
offer custom alert setups ($500-2k one-time)
build and sell the skill/plugin itself
this is higher risk but potentially high reward if you know the trading space.
8. workflow automation consulting
businesses waste hours on repetitive processes. clawdbot can fix that.
real examples from the community:
automated grocery shopping: meal plan → find items → book delivery slot → confirm order (all browser automation, no apis)
automated flight check-in: finds flight in email, runs through check-in, selects seat
automated school meal booking for parents
automated email unsubscription (mass cleanup)
how to sell this:
audit a business's workflows
identify 3-5 automatable processes
build clawdbot skills to handle them
charge $2,000-10,000 per automation
offer maintenance retainer $500/month
one complex workflow build can pay $5k+. do two per month and you're set.
9. skill/plugin development and sales
clawdbot has a growing marketplace of skills. you can build and sell your own.
skills that already exist:
todoist integration
whoop health data integration
linear project management
tradingview analysis
n8n workflow automation
paperless document management
bbc news fetching
hacker news monitoring
the opportunity:
identify a niche tool or service that doesn't have a skill yet
build the integration
list it on clawdhub (the skill marketplace)
charge $20-100 one-time or $5-20/month subscription
volume play:
build 10-20 skills
each gets a few hundred users
passive income adds up
10. local business automation packages
small local businesses have no idea this tech exists. huge opportunity.
package ideas:
restaurant: automated review responses + reservation management
real estate agent: automated listing alerts + lead follow-up
dentist/doctor: appointment reminders + rescheduling
contractor: estimate follow-ups + scheduling
gym: membership renewal reminders + class booking
how to approach:
pick one niche you understand
build a standardized clawdbot setup for that niche
sell it as a "done for you" package
charge $1,500-3,000 setup + $300-500/month
10 local businesses at $400/month = $4k/month recurring plus setup fees
11. ai-powered tutoring and coaching
clawdbot can be trained on specific domains and teach people.
what's already been built:
someone built a chinese learning engine with pronunciation feedback
someone built personalized meditation generation with tts
health assistant integrating oura ring data with calendar
the business model:
create a specialized learning clawdbot for a topic you know
language learning
coding tutorials
music theory
fitness coaching
charge students $50-200/month for access
clawdbot provides 24/7 personalized tutoring
20 students at $100/month = $2k/month from one niche
12. multi-agent systems for agencies
this is advanced but incredibly powerful.
what it means:
run multiple specialized clawdbot agents that work together
one for research
one for writing
one for coding
one for client communication
orchestrator agent delegates tasks between them
someone built exactly this:
14+ agents under one gateway
opus 4.5 orchestrator delegating to workers
comprehensive technical architecture
how to monetize:
offer this as "ai agency in a box" setup
charge $10,000-50,000 for enterprise setups
ongoing maintenance $2,000-5,000/month
one enterprise client per quarter = solid income
the cost breakdown
let's be real about what this costs to run:
clawdbot software: free (open source)
vps hosting: $5-10/month
claude pro subscription: $20/month
total: ~$27/month
how to actually get started
step 1: pick one business model from above
don't try to do everything. pick the one that matches your skills.
good at sales? → outreach agency
good at coding? → micro-saas or skill development
good at writing? → content repurposing
good at systems? → workflow automation
step 2: set up clawdbot
get a cheap vps ($5-10/month digitalocean or similar)
install clawdbot (one command)
connect your telegram or whatsapp
add claude pro api key
step 3: build your first workflow
start simple. get one thing working perfectly before expanding.
step 4: get your first client
post in relevant communities about what you built
offer a free trial to 2-3 people
collect testimonials
raise prices
step 5: systematize and scale
document your setup process
create templates for common requests
add more clients without adding more work
the bottom line
clawdbot is free. the skills are open source. the barrier to entry has never been lower.
the founders who figure out how to package and sell these capabilities will win.
everyone else will be wondering why they didn't start sooner.
stop treating ai like a chatbot. start treating it like an employee that costs $27/month and never sleeps.
