What does the agent do, and what does the human do?
- ~15 marketing tasks/day across Reddit, YouTube, LinkedIn, Quora, X

- Stripe order monitoring; daily GA4/GSC SEO reports; Telegram sales reports
- Manages ~90 SEO satellite domains; backups every 6 hours; inventory/supplier notes
- Built ClawBox hardware/software bundle and wrote the public case
- Sets strategy and model-routing policy (Haiku/Sonnet/Opus)
- Handles what the agent cannot (legal, hardware supply, final business ownership)
What does it cost to run?
~$5/month Claude API after model routing (down from ~$50/month). 15W power draw called negligible. Hardware COGS/retail for units sold is €549 list for ClawBox; DIY path cited at ~$300 parts. Electricity and unpaid human time not itemized [1].
What worked and what didn't?
How do you replicate ClawBox + Mike (OpenClaw)?
- Put the agent on dedicated 15W hardware, not your laptop
- Route models by task difficulty to keep API near $5/mo
- Stack many cron jobs (outreach + cart recovery + SEO) for compound reach
- Sell the same stack you run (hardware + OpenClaw preloaded)
- Prefer organic community comments over paid ads when the niche is technical
What are the risks and the moat?
All figures are self-reported in one DEV article; not third-party audited [1]. Platform risk on Reddit/YouTube automation. Hardware margins depend on Jetson supply and €549 price perception. SEO satellite-domain tactics can violate search guidelines.
