Nat gave his OpenClaw bot, Felix, $1,000 to build its own business 3 weeks ago. Since then, it’s made $14,718 by launching its own website, info product, and X account. Nat walked through exactly how he set up his OpenClaw bot to run its own business — from the 3-layer memory system, to multi-threaded chats, to security best practices.
