I ditched OpenClaw for Hyperagent.
Here's what it cost me to learn the lesson.
Setting up OpenClaw ate an entire weekend:
- Bought a Mac mini
- Installed OpenClaw (then had to reinstall it)
- Created a brand-new Gmail account
- Created a brand-new Apple ID
- Hand-wired every integration
A few weeks in, the gateway started crashing. Fine when you're sitting next to the machine. Not fine when you're on the road and your "always-on" agent isn't. And spend? No real way to control it.
So I tried Hyperagent (built by the Airtable team).
5 agents. 20 minutes. No Mac mini required.
My Hyperagent fleet:
Chief of Staff - reads my inbox, builds my daily brief, manages my todos
SDR - researches companies + prospects, drafts cold email
LinkedIn Ideas - reviews my prevalidated content and pitches new angles
Email - runs my triage system end to end
Sales - analyzes our sales data and suggests where to push
Each one runs in its own cloud environment with its own tools and integrations. No reinstalling. No babysitting a box on my desk.
Here's the part worth paying attention to:
Hyperagent is giving away $10M in inference credits to 500 founders going agent-first. $20K per founder. They're calling it the Founding 500.
If you're already rebuilding your workflows around agents, apply. If you know someone who is, send it their way.
Applications close May 31.

Day 8 of posting every day for 30 days.
My LinkedIn infographic got 1,889 saves yesterday. My X post about it got 36 impressions.
Same content creator. Same day. Wildly different distribution.
The lesson isn't "LinkedIn is better." It's that distribution is earned, not owed.
66K followers took 18 months of daily reps on one platform. Starting from scratch on a second one is humbling.
But that's exactly why I'm here.
Everyone overcomplicates content.
My simple LinkedIn infographic just got 1,889 saves. 868 likes. 153 comments. 87,636 views
Not a hot take. Not a viral hook. Just clear, useful information someone could screenshot and use today.
Simple educational content is still the cheat code.
Day 6 of posting every day for 30 days.
I missed a few days. Life happened.
But the point was never perfection. It was building the muscle.
So here I am again. Back at it.
The streak doesn't matter. The showing up does.
Day 5 of posting every day for 30 days.
The hardest part isn't writing the post.
It's opening the app when nobody liked the last one.
4 days in. 36 impressions on my best post. Zero viral moments.
But I've replied to more people this week than I did in the last 3 years on here.
That's the actual game at 2.6K followers. Not content. Distribution.
Hot take: most SaaS companies don't have a demand gen problem.
They have a trust problem. Their content reads like a press release and their founders are invisible.
"Put your CEO on LinkedIn" isn't the answer either. Not if they're posting AI slop and filler.
Put your CEO on LinkedIn with something real to say. 90 days. Watch what happens to inbound.
Day 1 recap of posting every day for 30 days.
Published my challenge post. 34 impressions. 1 like.
No algorithm magic. No viral moment. Just a guy with 2.6K followers saying "I'm going to show up every day."
This is what the void looks like. I've been here before on LinkedIn. The silence is where most people quit.
I'm not quitting.
@jasonlk Most B2B teams are learning AI the same way they learned social selling in 2015. Watching webinars instead of doing the work. The companies pulling ahead are the ones actually shipping with AI today, not planning to.
@thejustinwelsh Went from invisible on LinkedIn to 66K followers by posting about one thing: what I actually learned building. Not frameworks from a textbook.
I grew up in an era where preparing to give a 30 minute presentation could take days.
Outline, talking points, slides.
Now? Minutes! I have a 30 minute presentation next week. Took me 15 minutes.
1) Feed my content into Claude
2) Created slide outline in Claude
3) Feed outline into Gamma
4) Some visual tweaks
Done ✅
What a world.
LinkedIn is THE platform for B2B lead gen.
Undisputed!
That's why we launched Stanley for Business this week.
It started with a LinkedIn comment.
18 months ago I was invisible. No audience. No pipeline. I started posting on LinkedIn and got obsessed.
60k+ followers and 8M views later, my comment on @vitaliidodonov's LinkedIn post turned into a DM, the DM turned into a dinner, and the dinner turned into us launching Stanley for Business.
