I cannot express how good Hermes Agent from @NousResearch is.

I started using OpenClaw in Jan and started teaching others to use it. But now I'm on Hermes because...

- Finishes all tasks
- More reliable
- Better updates
- Builds own skills
- Self-improving
- Better personality

My AI just programmed an entire course platform.

Didn't want to make a traditional AI course because AI changes too fast. So this one is text, images, audio in my voice, and my AI agent updates it every night.

Is this the future of courses?

This little computer is basically running my entire online business.

My AI once showed me fake cost data on a live dashboard.

[Jacques Hopkins | The Online Course Guy @onlinecourseguy]

Before I make big decisions in my business, I make 7 AIs argue about it.

This is Rocky, my AI operator. He runs a council where different AI models attack the same decision from different angles so I can spot weak points before they cost me money.

Day 29. Before I wake up, my AI has already triaged my inboxes and handed me my top 3 priorities.

Not waking up to chaos. Waking up to a plan.

[Jacques Hopkins | The Online Course Guy @onlinecourseguy]

I feel like I've unlocked a cheat code for using @openclaw .

My openclaw runs on GPT-5.4.

I use Claude as my "advisor" for my OpenClaw — running Opus 4.6.

The two best models on earth, each doing what they're best at.

The synergy is producing unbelievable results.

$3,500/mo for an SEO agency. Let it lapse for 4 years. Everything tanked.

Gave it to my AI Rocky. One day: full audit, broken links fixed, dead content removed, dashboard built.

Agencies take weeks. Rocky did it in a day.

• Create the community where students post their wins and pull each other forward
• Give someone the confidence to play at a family gathering

[Jacques Hopkins | The Online Course Guy @onlinecourseguy]

Information is dead. Transformation isn't.

AI can teach someone music theory. AI can generate a course outline. AI can answer "what chords go together." But AI cannot....

[Jacques Hopkins | The Online Course Guy @onlinecourseguy]

• Make someone actually sit down and practice piano every day
• Build the accountability loop that gets a 45-year-old through the frustration of week 2

[Jacques Hopkins | The Online Course Guy @onlinecourseguy]

Day 27 of running my business with an AI called Rocky.

Today he:
- Drafted replies to my entire student inbox
- Wrote a YouTube description with timestamps
- Created a $1,500 invoice

He runs 24/7 on a Mac mini using @openclaw.

Getting better at sounding like me every day.

Want success? Understand the cycle:

✅ Start excited
📉 Hit a dip—effort, no results
⚠️ Most quit here (shiny object syndrome)
🔄 Smart ones adjust, learn, persist
🚀 Momentum builds, success follows

You're not failing. You're in the dip. Keep going.

[Jacques Hopkins | The Online Course Guy @onlinecourseguy]

Failure isn’t a stop sign. It’s a signal. When something doesn’t work, don’t quit—analyze.

Why didn’t it work?
What can you tweak?
What did you learn?

Treat failure as feedback. Most people quit too soon. Don’t be most people.

[Jacques Hopkins | The Online Course Guy @onlinecourseguy]

Many creators think, “If I build an amazing course, students will magically appear.” But even the best course won't sell if nobody knows it exists.
Your audience is your biggest asset—grow it intentionally. #OnlineCourseCreator #DigitalCourseBusiness #BuildYourAudience

Think you can’t take time off from work? Think again.
I planned a 4.5-month RV trip without pausing my business. Here’s how:
✔ Batched content months in advance.
✔ Delegated key tasks to my team.
✔ Reduced weekly hours to 10-15 while away.
It’s all about strategic preparation.
