7 tiny AI agent ideas I built with Genspark Claw

One of the most common questions I get is Greg. Stop giving us billion dollars startup ideas. Give me something practical, tiny that I can use with AI to go and build a caffling business that makes me a thousand dollars a day, two thousand dollars a day, three thousand dollars a day. Well, this episode is for you. I'm going to give away seven tiny AI agent business ideas that you can start today. I'm going to give you a framework for how you can come up with these ideas on your own. And I'm going to give you a tool that I've been using lately called Genspark Claw that basically is a safer version of open claw than normal people can actually use that's in the cloud easier to set up, more secure for real work and has skills built in. And I reached out to the team at Genspark to see if they'd sponsor this video. They said yes to shut up to them for supporting the community. By the end of this episode you are going to be an idea machine. You're going to understand how you can create these tiny AI agent business ideas and how you can implement it today. So I hope that you don't just take these ideas. I hope that you don't just take these frameworks. I hope that you just don't learn about these tools, but you actually end to end start creating them so that you can build caffling businesses, learn about AI agents and AI tools and have fun along the way. Enjoy the episode. Let's get into it. The start of my disconvers. Is it been time, baby? You know, the first idea I came up with was basically, you know, you have all these domains. It's called the dead domain idea. You have all these dot com domains that people owned at one point. And they might have forgotten that they owned it or they don't want to own it anymore and they're good domains. So if you can use AI to basically follow the drops, like integrate with the go daddies of the world, you can actually score some of these, some of these domains. You can say this is eight on 10, four on 10, seven on 10, and then you can flip it. So I'm going to show you how I built this idea, how easy it was, and what that could actually look like. So this is what it looks like. So it's running sonnet 4.6. And basically what you can do is you could integrate it with any different sort of communication channel. So you can use WhatsApp, you can Slack, you can use Telegram. For me, if I'm making an AI employee, I want to use Slack. I get my work done in Slack. So for me, I want my assistant to be in Slack. I just configured it here. I press configure took me maybe like four minutes to do. And I configured it. And I got what I ended up getting is this AI assistant in my Slack. So super, super simple. And basically what I did is I took the one liner for my idea. I said, I want to create the dead domain flipper. I want Cloud a monitor, expire domain drops, like expire domains, go daddy auctions, drop catch against a criteria list. And each keywords DR of 20 plus a clean backlink profile, no adult and gambling history. For me, yeah, just don't like don't want that. Every morning you get a rank list of 10 domains worth bidding on under $200. Flip and then my idea is to flip it to newsletter operators, SEO agencies, or rebuild it as a content site. So this is what happens. You know, at 740, this is last night. At 746, AI assistant is like, let's go. And it says before I start building, let me make sure I understand the full picture. And it just writes, you know, it sort of repeats it back to you. But it asks, it's not dumb, right? It says, here's a few questions. You know, niche keywords, you have a starting list, a delivery, do you want to be a Slack, data sources, you know, it needs a free account, DR check. Do you want to like integrate with, you know, atrefs. So it goes and actually builds it. And what's really cool is you end up, you know, what you should do is create a new channel of the, you know, for me, I think this is this simplest. I created a new channel and then I have my domain flipper idea. And I actually, you can see here, here's 10 picks under $2500. I actually increased the budget. So in doing, you know, how did I increase the budget? I literally just went back to the AI system and I was like, make, make a $2500. So like really treat it like your AI employee. And I got some pretty interesting domains, you know, wavedark.com. Like, you know, what does it mean? I don't know, but you can buy it for one cent. And it looked like it looks good, right? Wave dark, wave dark. You can see how someone might buy that for $2500. And not a lot of people know this about me, but I actually had a premium domain marketplace many years ago, where I would literally do just this. Actually, let me explain what did I do? I would have a person scour the internet for domain auctions and stuff like that that would relapse. They would buy the domain. And then they would sell it for $8. We would create a logo for it. So, and then people would buy the domain and the logo. So for example, wave dark, we would make the actual logo and we'd sell it for anywhere between $3,000 and $5,000. And that was the model. And you can just automate that. So the margins are really big. So this, I think, did a really good job. And now every morning I have this and I can just, you know, set up an email if I wanted and be like send me an email of this of the updates that domains personally, I like it in Slack. These are some more ideas and we'll get into that and we'll get into them. But yeah, let's actually, let's get into one more idea. Then we're going to get into building an idea live. And then let's get into coming up with your own ideas for that. So the second idea is one of those boring business ideas that I think you're going to like. So it's a local liquidation idea. So it's the idea that having it monitoring restaurant closures and liquidation auctions in your city, it pulls equipment comps. It pulls, it basically calculates the arbitrage spread and brokers the deal between the estate and the new restaurant for 15 to 30% fees with zero inventory risk. Basically, it's this idea that you have restaurants closing all the time. You have auctions happening all the time. How can you buy the merchandise for these businesses at 10 cents at the dollar. And how can you use AI to automate that? So I just took that idea just I literally put like the one liner. And it says here's what we're going to do. We're going to go into biz by cell auctions it bid bid spotter Craigslist Miami Florida bankruptcy court, which I live. It's going to detect vertical extract equipment from tax. It builds the comps database for 40 plus equipment types plus a live eBay sold look up. And gives me a deal card. So it shows the use market value, the established auction price and the 30% broker fee. How do I actually go and build this idea? I had to copy and paste this command and put it into my terminal. Now, you don't know to be technical really, you know, you just literally just copy and paste it. I use ghosty for my terminal, but you can also use your default terminal no affiliation with ghosty. I just think it just works a little bit better for me. And then what happens is as soon as you click that, it starts cooking. It shows this is what happens in your terminal. You'll see scraping listings on Craigslist and for the bankruptcy court. Look, 1600 different listings. And then it's starting to give you the deals. And then I ask it to post it to a Slack channel. So again, I have to go file a new channel. I create a new channel. I set up a web hook within Slack. And if you don't know what that is, again, ask it to help you figure that out. And look at this. So look at it. Look what it came up with. Here's it's again, 327 listings and it flagged 10 deals. Kitchen hood grease. Smoke hood restaurant. So it rates at a 50 on 10. The use value is $1,500. So there's a 300% spread here. So if you go to the list, let's just go click on the listing. See what we're looking at. Okay. So it's it's this hood. Hood here. It was updated two days ago. Contact Infos is this guy named Chris. And they're they're selling it for not a lot of money. They're selling it for not a lot of me relative to the amount that it's worth. So you can actually go and just bring that listing to someone who would buy it, right? Or you buy it and then you know, and you actually you buy it, you store it and you find someone who would buy it, you know, sell it. Now, I know someone in the comment section is like, well, why isn't someone buying it on Craigslist? Well, sometimes the actual well, first of all, sometimes Craigslist isn't the best marketplace. is for this. You actually have to do the work to actually sell it, calling people. And also, a lot of times, this is just not optimized. The actual title is an optimized. These are restaurant owners. And they're busy, right? They're busy, unfortunately, doing with a liquidation of some sort. So they're just putting this quickly, right? So I think this is a really interesting one. You can see just here a bunch of different listings where you can-- there's a spread of hundreds of percent, hundreds and hundreds of percent. And you can get this every day. And you can get this into your inbox. So those are two ideas, which are tiny, are boring, but could help generate income relatively easy. Now, let's actually go and pick another idea and build it live. And see how we would actually build this out so that you can have a really concrete understanding of how to do this on your own. So I like this idea where we're going to monitor job boards daily for hiring signals, because that means budget is being spent. So ahead of growth needs an agency, three SDRs, need outbound tools. Enriches the company, finds a decision maker, and drafts personalized outreach referencing the exact post. So we're going to go ahead and take that idea. I'm literally just copying and pasting it. And we're going to go to my assistant. And we're literally going to say, I'm working on this idea, go build it. And we're going to see what happens. We're going to see how to do it. We're going through the steps. And I love that. First of all, it feels-- like, when I talk to it, it feels-- it doesn't feel-- obviously, it's a bot. So I was going to say it doesn't feel like a bot, but it feels like a human bot, which is kind of crazy. So that's asking me a few things. What are you selling? The outreach needs to be specific. Are you pitching SaaS tools, consulting? I'm going to say I'm pitching consulting. Which job boards to monitor? I'm going to say you pick the best ones. Decision maker outreach. I'm going to just say post to Slack with a draft plus LinkedIn URL. So I can copy-pay. So I'm not going to have it actually reach out to people automated, although I could. But just so we can see the quality first, you want to see the quality first, then you can automate it. And hiring signals, what matters? What signals matters? Most of you. And then I'll say, what signals matter most to you? Whatever you think is best, I'm trying to focus on selling marketing services to marketers. And yeah, so I was pretty broad. And we'll see what it comes up with. And usually it takes around five minutes to build something like this. And I will say last night I was messaging with my assistant, and it wasn't responding to me. And I went back to my Genie Spark claw app. I was like, why is it not reaching out to me? And I went to it. And it was connected. Everything should work. And it was because it was reconfiguring, rebuilding the app. So if you ever have trouble, it's not working or whatever reason. Just make sure that it's online. And sometimes it's just rebuilding the app if it's learning how to build it better, which I thought was really interesting. It was basically around the domain flipper idea. And it was basically like, yeah, we added a few extra market places. I was like, well, I wish you would have told me, but love that you did that. There's two different tabs that I switched on when I downloaded this. By the way, while that's cooking in the background, one is prevent sleep. So it's off by default, but keeps your computer awake. So Genie Spark claw stays active. For me, this is-- I do really treat this as my AI employee. I treat it as like, you are my product manager, vibe coder, person who's going to help me build a business. Therefore, I really don't want you to go to sleep. And then heartbeat. So what is heartbeat? It checks for pending events and runs heartbeat MD task every 30 minutes. So this is a way to save token. So it's off by default. But if you have a business that's starting to generate revenue from this, this is obviously something that you're going to want to turn on, because you're going to want it to keep producing, although it's going to take token. So maybe not initially, but eventually, something that you might want to do. All right, let's go back. So it's still building now. Like I said, it usually takes about five minutes or so. What can we do? OK, so the other thing that's interesting about Gensbar Clah is you can see that there's some popular tasks. You can organize desktop by content. You can see, fill the job applications for me, look at this screenshot of a data table, batch and edit photos, refactor and VS code, data analysis and spreadsheets. Reminder, this is working on your local computer. So it sees your local files and let's go back here. And this just gives you a sense of how you can use something like this. The other really cool thing is the skills that you can just go ahead and download. Like the fact that you can just turn on audio transcription, creating tasks using specialized AI agents, listing emails from a folder. So I encourage you to just go and check out different skills, turn on, turn off. So now it says, now run it alive. So my question to my AI assistant, how do I run it? What commands? And how do I set up the Slack channel? So you're just going to go ahead and ask it how to do these things. And it's going to tell you how. All right, so I just asked it, how do I run it? What commands? It said, it just hit your Slack 14 hiring signal, each with a copy, paste called email draft. Here's what it did. It's great. 220 jobs from HN hacker news, who's hiring, remote of greenhouse. It scored each against a signal map, surface 14 companies against hiring marketing leaders, enriched with decision maker, LinkedIn search, and wrote a personalized call to email for each referencing each exact post. So it's actually added it in my domain flipper channel. I would want this as a separate channel, personally. But let's just look at this quick. So it's showing QuestDB. This is their hiring remote. This is the email that says, hey, I saw QuestDB scaling the marketing team, specifically the technical content writer. The kind of hiring usually happens when there's real momentum. I work with companies that is exact stage on marketing strategy and execution. Happy to share a few ideas specific to what I've seen in your space open to a quick call. Wow, and actually pulled my-- it actually pulled my company's URL. So this is pretty good. I mean, it's not perfect in the sense of, look at that link. It's like that's a bug, obviously. But I could go and be like to my AI assistant, right? And just be like, hey, I noticed some of the links in the cold emails are like this. Can you make it? So it isn't. I want the-- no one is going to convert if they see emails like that. And you literally just talk to it. You literally just talk to it like that, and it fixes it. And it's crazy, right? It says, oh, that's the HTML entities bleeding into the email drafts from the job description. Easy fix, strip all HTML entities before the draft is written. So we've gone and actually created something that we can start a marketing business from that. And if we wanted, we could say, hey, Jen, go and vibe code me a landing page that's based on how Greg Eisenberg's landing pages look like. And it's going to do it. And I can do a whole separate video on that and how to go deeper into these ideas. But for now, I just want to show you how quick it is to actually do these sorts of things. By the way, here's how you can add this, create a new Slack channel. You have to create a new channel. Like I said, you have to-- go to apislack.com/apps, you have to add a new web hook, and then you paste the URL. Just tells you what to do, right? So there you have it, how to build an idea live. I wanna go back to and just sort of give you ideas around how you can come up with ideas of your own. These are some ideas that I have. I wanted to, I gave you the dead domain idea. I gave you the local equidation idea. There's a few more ideas I'll give you, and then let's go into how to brainstorm some of these ideas. A few ideas. Pointing claw at bizbysel or acquire.com, basically these marketplaces where people sell businesses, and it pulls the financials, it cross checks review, reviews, and web mentions, and it gives you, should I even call memo in six minutes? So you can either do this, if you wanna buy a business for like $2,000, you can also maybe integrate with trustmrr.com, they have businesses there selling for not $2,000, but you don't know if it's a business worth actually buying. So there's two options. You actually buy the business yourself, or you sell this, should I even call.com, and you sell this as a service to people who want to buy businesses. Three, or sorry, four, or no, we did three and four, five. Scans, product hunt launches from two to four years ago. It finds one where the site is dead, but the SEO traffic is still alive, and you reach out to the founder who will sell to like, you know, maybe 25K, 5K, just to stop paying their AWS bill. And there's a lot of these founders who are just like happy to get this off their hands. Number six, and this one I'm really interested in, monitors, app store rankings for apps that were at top 103, 4, 5, 6 years ago, but have dropped to 500 plus, but still have 100,000 K reviews, or 20,000 reviews, or 10,000 reviews. It pulls the developer contact, and you offer to acquire for, I don't know, 10,000, 50,000, and to relaunch with better monetization. You don't have the money, maybe you go and find an investor to do it. You don't wanna do 100,000 K views reviews. You do 500 reviews, 5 star reviews. But point is you can find these deals, and people are gonna, there will be some people happy to sell it and have an acquisition of some point. And the last thing, last idea is telling a claw to monitor your top five competitors overnight for pricing changes, new pages, founder tweets, job postings, change all the updates, and you wake up to a one page brief of what has moved in your market while you sell it. So that either can help you, whatever it is you're building, or you sell that as a service. So you basically, you know, competitive intelligence, and you sell that as a service, maybe it's 9.99, and this is when people say, you know, agents are the new SaaS, what do they mean by that? They mean, you know, you're selling an agent with an outcome, you know, moving from a per-seat model to an outcome-based model and you're using Gensbar claw to do it. So those are a few ideas that I think anyone could start and within just a few prompts, get it, you know, create an MVP. I realized by the way, with all these ex-galadras, I am this guy right now, and I'm like, this is how you could go and build a business with AI. So I'm just acknowledging that I realized that's me with all these crazy diagrams. So let me know if you don't like the diagrams in the future and just want me to riff. How can you use a simple framework for finding new businesses? This is how I think about it. Look for public data, look for neglected assets, and look for a clear buyer. So the first thing you're gonna wanna look for is some sort of messy feed, job board, auction sites, closures of some sort, like we saw with the restaurants. Two is you're gonna wanna look for some misprice thing. Could be a domain, like the domain flippers thing, like the mobile app thing we were talking about, equipment, a small sass. Then a trigger event of some sort, a drop, a shutdown, a hiring, a ranked decline. Then you're gonna wanna look for an obvious buyer, an operator, an agency, a founder, a new owner, ideally someone with money. And then five, how are you gonna make money? What is the liquidity point? Is it a flip? Is it a broker? Is it a retainer? It is a relaunch. These are the type of businesses that with something like a claw is going to, like they're the easiest businesses to create with claws. So interpretive like path to monetization. And then in terms of like, how do you brainstorm claw ideas? Well, I have, you know, it's basically three lenses to come up with ideas really fast. One is looking at places with constant change, places like marketplaces, places like listings, app rankings, filings are really underrated. Job postings. Two is, you know, what to hunt? Things people ignore, like stale traffic, distressed inventory, abandoned software, underpriced attention. 'Cause that's where you're gonna be able to get deals. And three is what to ask. So what are quick screening questions? Is there urgency? Is there spread? Can claw monitor it and who pays first? So the way to think about it, just from a framework perspective is, you have a feed, goes to an asset, goes to a trigger, goes to a buyer, goes to monetization. These are the boring, tiny ideas that you can use AI and use claw to go and build some of these ideas. So yeah, that's that's that in a nutshell. I wanted to just quickly go over what else, like if you're, you know, what else is on Genspark AI works base 4.0. So, you know, if you're using Genspark claw, there's other things that it comes with, right? It actually comes with, you know, I know a lot of us use whisper flow. It comes in with whisper flow, basically. What's cool is Genspark gives you unlimited use of the AI chat, all the models there. And unlimited use of the AI image model for anyone who pays for it. So it's definitely the, almost like the Costco, you know, Costco is always a little bit cheaper than everything else. That's how I'm thinking about Genspark. And for a lot of people, I think that's gonna be a big deal. You have that all in there. It has AI video too. C-Dance 2 is in here. So what can you use AI video for? So the first is you're gonna wanna use it to make ads. So we're all trying to get customers to our vibe code at startups. How do we actually get people to it? Well, instead of hiring an agency, you know, one way to do it is just use AI video, C-Dance 2, for example, and create incredible scroll-stopping med ads. Now, how do you actually create med ads? I convert, you know, this is a numbers game. You're gonna wanna create a lot. And that's why, you know, a tool like this, you know, comes in handy 'cause it's a cost-effective way to get a lot of these videos out. And then just take, you know, the ones that start to convert and double down on those. The second way, you know, I would use AI video is just crafting almost like cinematic mini documentaries or mini videos that tell the stories of your business. You're starting to see a lot of that on X where, you know, startups will, you know, do a two-minute launch video, but it's like, it feels like a crafted Hollywood story. So you can do that now with AI video, right? We're at that point where if you play with some of these models and on Gensbark, you have access to pretty much all, you know, all the main ones, you can go and craft those stories. And, you know, one thing I see a lot of people not doing is including those videos on their website. So, you know, if you're trying to convert more on your website, you're trying to stand out, you know, having a video that tells the story that feels cinematic that's Hollywood style is something that I would use it for. So just a couple of use cases, ads and storytelling that, you know, are a top of my list for using this product. Overall, I was impressed, yeah, I think I was just impressed with, you know, Gensbark Claw, or it's still one of my go-to's for AI image, it's still one of my go-to's for video. And it's just cool that, you know, I did a video on Codex building a super app. It's cool that you see Gensbark also moving into this category too, except that it's all tied to, you know, multiple models. And I think this is sort of the future where AI is going super apps, get everything done in one place for, you know, 25 bucks or whatever a month. And then, yeah, I like that it's integrated with multiple models because then I can get the best out of, you know, out of each of these. So, yeah, that's where we're at. Hope this got the creative juices flowing. And I'll see you next time.
