I gave my AI agent a $50/month budget and it generated 500K TikTok views in 5 days.

Zero hours of content creation from me.

Most creators spend 3-4 hours per post designing images, writing captions, and manually uploading to TikTok.

I was doing the same thing. Burnt out after 6 months.

Then I built an AI agent that runs on an old gaming PC under my desk.

It now handles everything:

→ Generates 6 photorealistic images per slideshow using GPT-image-1.5
→ Writes viral hooks using the "show someone else" formula
→ Adds text overlays that are actually readable on mobile
→ Researches what's working and logs lessons in skill files
→ Posts directly to TikTok as drafts via API

My only job: add trending audio and hit publish (takes 60 seconds).

The results in one week:

234K views on top post
4 posts over 100K views
108 new paying subscribers
$588 MRR growth
$0.50 cost per post

The secret isn't the AI. It's the system.

He has skill files - 500+ lines of markdown that teach him exactly how to create viral slideshows. Every failure becomes a rule. Every win becomes a formula.

He compounds knowledge. He gets smarter every single day.

I just put together the complete step-by-step guide covering:

- How to set up OpenClaw on any spare computer
- The exact prompt engineering that keeps rooms consistent
- Why "show someone else" hooks get 10x more views
- The skill file templates Larry uses to learn and improve
- How to automate posting via API for under $50/month

This is the system that took us from 2K views per post to 200K+.

I'll send you everything - the workflows, the prompts, and the skill files.

Claude Opus 4.6 just became the most dangerous competitive intelligence tool on Earth.

I reverse-engineered my competitor's entire strategy in minutes.

Most companies pay $15,000-$50,000 for competitive analysis from consultants like McKinsey or Bain.

Others spend $3,000/month on tools like Crayon or Klue.

I'm giving you the exact prompt that does this for FREE.

This prompt extracts:

→ Complete product catalog and pricing history
→ Their exact ICP and target customers
→ Full go-to-market strategy (channels, content, sales approach)
→ Strategic vulnerabilities and market gaps
→ Technology stack and product roadmap signals
→ Customer pain points from reviews across all platforms

It analyzes their:
- Funding and burn rate
- Leadership backgrounds
- Hiring patterns that reveal strategy
- Partnership ecosystem
- Feature requests they're ignoring

You can use this immediately. No tools needed. Just Claude and this prompt.

I've used variations of this to:
- Identify 3 pricing gaps that led to a new product tier
- Find an underserved market my competitor abandoned
- Discover their roadmap 6 months early (from job postings)

The intelligence you'll get would cost $25K+ from a consulting firm.

Want the full prompt?

1. Connect with me
2. Comment "INTEL"

(Must be connected to receive it)

PS - Use this ethically. Competitive intelligence is legal. Corporate espionage is not.
