Ryan is a serial founder who’s building his latest startup solo
with only AI agents. It was fascinating to watch him demo the
exact skills and routines he uses to get OpenClaw, Codex, and
Devin to manage his inbox and calendar, do sales outreach, and
build features while he sleeps.

Ryan and I talked about:

(02:25) Demo: How Ryan set up OpenClaw to be his AI chief of
staff

(08:14) The setting most people get wrong in OpenClaw

(13:46) How to onboard your agent like you would an employee

(17:06) The cron job that books cold meetings while Ryan sleeps

(24:36) Why Ryan prefers Devin over other AI coding tools

(28:33) Demo: How Ryan ships 10 PRs a day solo

(33:08) Google Ads agencies and a $6K/month designer
