Nick agreed to personally set up your Orgo in a 15 min call: https://startup-ideas-pod.link/orgo_ai I sit down with Nick from Orgo to break down exactly how to run a one-person AI agent business that can realistically clear a few million dollars a year. Nick walks through the offer, the verticals worth chasing, the full software stack, and the live setup of an agent that manages other agents. We focus on tactics over theory, with specific tools, pricing, and the playbook for landing customers as a solopreneur. By the end, anyone with solid AI fluency will have a clear path from offer design to fulfillment. Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 02:54 – Designing the AI Agent Business Offer 06:38– Selling an AI Employee, Not an Agent 07:26 – Industries to Target (and Two to Avoid) 14:54 – Content Is Overpowered and How to Get Customers 17:51 – The Customer-Facing Tool Stack 20:49 – Building Agents Stack 25:51 – Model Picks: GPT 5.5, GLM 5.1, Kimmy, Opus 4.7 27:08 – Nick's Stack 28:14 – Why Obsidian Is the Second Brain Layer 30:22 – Live Walkthrough: Spinning Up a Cloud Computer in Orgo 33:53 – Cloud Computers vs. Mac Minis 38:37 – Building Agents and Structuring Workspaces for Customers 43:56 – Watchdogs, Observability, and Reliability 45:28 – Closing Thoughts on the Solopreneur Era Key Points Sell unlimited agents, unlimited usage, and unlimited support to remove friction; most customers actually use one to three agents. Avoid healthcare and finance to start; focus on legacy verticals like marketing, law, insurance, manufacturing, wholesale, and real estate. OpenClaw agents go for around 5K a month; Hermes agents can go for 10K a month. The full stack: Granola, Trello, Loom, Superhuman, Asana, Codex, Hermes, Orgo, Composio, Agent Mail, and Obsidian. GPT 5.5 is the recommended default model for tool calling; GLM 5.1 and Kimmy work for lighter tasks; Opus 4.7 fits long-horizon coding. Use agents to set up other agents — pair Cloud Code or Codex with MCPs like Perplexity, Context7, and X MCP for live docs.

Dieses Mal starten wir mit Schach, besser: einem lernenden Schachspiel für den CPC sowie der Frage, seit wann das Schachspielen auf offener Straße in San Francisco verboten ist. Und wo wir gerade vor Ort sind: Umbaumaßnahmen, Wetter und andere Kapriolen aus dem „Baghdad by the Bay“ dürfen nicht fehlen. Jürgen ist seinerseits nicht mehr auf Twitter und erklärt die Gründe. Um die Lebensmittelpreise in San Francisco geht es in einer Hörerfrage, Jürgen fragt seinerseits nach dem bestverkauften Album aller Zeiten. Nein, es ist nicht „Thriller“ von Michael Jackson. Roland erlebte seinen eigenen Thriller beim zweimaligen Besuch des örtlichen Straßenverkehrsamtes und dachte sich: „Wenn mir mitten im Deadline-Trubel deswegen schon zwei halbe Tage fehlen, zerschieße ich an einem weiteren Tag mal grundlos mein PC-BIOS.“ Zu den angenehmeren Dingen des Lebens: Roland ist endlich im „Battle for Brooklyn“-DLC für „The Division 2“ angekommen, Jürgen bleibt bei „Astro Bot“ auf Medaillenkurs. Es folgen gemischte Nachrichten aus dem Showbusiness, inklusive James Bond, John Williams, den Kaulitz-Brüdern sowie Neues von „Let’s Dance“ und „Don Matteo“ – „Star Trek: Starfleet Academy“ hat sich Roland immer noch nicht zu schauen getraut. Wild her geht es in der Spielebranche: Sony macht die Bluepoint Studios dicht, Microsoft macht eine KI-Expertin zur neuen Xbox-Chefin, Ubisoft kündigt eine neue „Assassin’s Creed Shadows“-Roadmap und neue Anführer an, derweil nehmen erfahrene Designer wie Clint Hocking („Far Cry“, „Watch Dogs“) und Julian Gerighty („The Division“, „Star Wars Outlaws“) ihren Hut.

In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Brian Costin, Deputy State Director for Americans for Prosperity–Illinois, to talk about the power of citizen watchdogs and why transparency matters more than ever. From small-town library referendums to massive waste in local government spending, Brian shares how everyday residents can use tools like Freedom of Information Act requests and open meetings laws to expose misconduct and protect taxpayers. The conversation highlights real-world examples from Illinois, including the impact of the Edgar County Watchdogs, an organization that has helped force hundreds of resignations by uncovering ethics violations. Brian also explains how curiosity, persistence, and new tools like AI are lowering the barrier for citizens who want to hold government accountable — proving that even a small group of people can make a big difference when they shine light on how public money is spent.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWThe world woke up to silence.Not the peaceful kind, but the kind that comes when everything connected suddenly forgets how to connect.In this episode, I dig into what happens when the cloud crashes and the digital heartbeat of the planet skips a few beats.I break down what it means for every business, home, and government that runs on systems we never see but depend on every day.I then turn the focus to the dirt beneath our feet and the new global tug of war for the minerals that power our phones, cars, and defense systems.I explore the quiet deals being made behind the photo ops and why control over the planet's raw materials means control over its future.I also pull the curtain back on something deeper and more dangerous… how democracies are tightening their grip on protest and free speech one law at a time.And I talk about what happens when watchdogs get silenced, when non-profits and truth tellers are pushed aside so power can operate without a mirror.This is not the week to scroll past the headlines. It's the week to look closer.This is A WORLD GONE MAD The Monday Fallout EditionIf you would like to email me:WolfPackTalks@gmail.comAWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

House Judiciary Committee Democrats have launched a new website for federal watchdogs. That comes after the Trump administration pulled funding for the Council on Inspectors General for Integrity and Efficiency. CIGIE had provided website infrastructure services for at least 28 inspectors general offices. The Judiciary committee's website provides report repository and hotline contact information for IG offices that relied on CIGIE's funding. Many of the IG offices have set up temporary websites while Democrats in Congress have pressed the White House to restore CIGIE's funding.

Data centers power everything from cloud computing to artificial intelligence, and they use a massive amount of electricity, sometimes even rivaling major cities. Watchdogs claim that tech companies aren't absorbing the costs of this electricity use, causing rate payers' electricity bills to spike as they're forced to subsidize these data centers. Today, Edward and Abby discuss the far-reaching implications of this kind of land use. ADDITIONAL SHOW NOTES “As electric bills rise, evidence mounts that data centers share blame.

The chief of the watchdog agency that protects federal workers and whistleblowers, Hampton Dellinger, was one of the first to be fired by President Trump. So were eighteen inspectors general and the chief of the board that protects federal workers. What is happening to independent watchdogs and why are they being dismantled? Correspondent Scott Pelley sits down with Dellinger and others to find out. Five years after it declared bankruptcy, Purdue Pharma and its wealthy owners, members of the Sackler family, have agreed to pay up to $7.4 billion in a proposed settlement that would deliver funds to victims of the opioid crisis. Correspondent Cecilia Vega investigates how this deal—potentially one of the largest opioid settlements ever—will affect the individuals and families who say Purdue's opioids harmed them. With the NCAA basketball tournament, famously known as “March Madness,” tipping off this month, the University of Connecticut men's team is aiming for a historic three-peat.
