AI Agents

Your next team member
doesn't need a salary.

The reality

Everyone's talking about AI agents. Almost nobody can get them working properly. Not because the technology doesn't work - because it's brand new, and nobody showed them how the pieces fit together. We run this stack every day. Let us set it up for you, or teach you how.

We call them Remote Humans - digital teammates that live in your messaging apps, connect to your business tools, and do real work on your behalf. We set them up, secure them, and teach you how to get the most out of them.

The Problems

Sound familiar?

I can't get it working

VPS, Docker, SSH, config files. The technical maze stops people before they reach the AI part.

Is this even secure?

Your agent has access to your email, calendar, business data. Most setups leave the door wide open.

My API bill just hit $800

Without proper model routing and cost controls, AI agent costs spiral fast.

It worked last week. Now it doesn't.

Models update. APIs change. Configs break. Who do you call?

I know it can do more

You're using 10% of what your agent can do. Skills, integrations, automations - the potential is enormous.

How do I grow this?

One agent becomes two. One channel becomes five. One workflow becomes twenty. You need a growth path.

Sound familiar? That's exactly why we built this service.

Remote Humans

What is a Remote Human?

A Remote Human is a digital teammate that lives in Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, or Slack - wherever your team already communicates. No new apps to learn. You message it like a colleague, and it takes action - checking calendars, sending emails, running workflows, chasing follow-ups. Not a chatbot. A colleague.

OpenClaw

The foundation. OpenClaw is open-source software (60K+ stars on GitHub) that gives AI models a body - the ability to send messages, manage calendars, handle emails, and run workflows. It connects to Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, and Slack. It's the core of every Remote Human.

Think of it this way: ChatGPT and Claude are the brain. OpenClaw is the body that lets the brain act.

What they do on day one
Morning brief: your calendar, flagged emails, and priorities in one message
Draft replies, triage your inbox, flag what needs you
Weekly reports pulled from your tools, delivered on schedule
Follow up with leads, chase invoices, send reminders
Research a topic, summarise findings, prep you for meetings
Answer team questions, route requests, handle repetitive asks

One agent covers multiple roles. Add skills to expand what it does. Scale from one to an entire digital team.

Humans vs Remote Humans

Human employees
  • $4,000-8,000/month salary per role
  • Weeks of onboarding and training
  • Tax, benefits, insurance, equipment
  • Work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week
  • Take holidays, sick days, personal leave
  • One role per person
  • Upskilling takes months
  • Scaling means more recruitment cycles
Remote Humans
  • One-time setup fee, then $50-200/month to run
  • Operational in days, not weeks
  • No tax, no benefits, no equipment
  • Work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year
  • Never take holidays, never call in sick
  • One agent covers multiple roles
  • New skills added in minutes
  • Scale instantly - add another agent, not another recruitment round

You're not replacing your team. You're giving them a tireless colleague that handles the work nobody wants to do - the follow-ups, the data entry, the scheduling, the reporting. Your people focus on what actually needs a human.

Getting Started

Treat it like a new hire

The best way to think about your Remote Human? Like onboarding a sharp new team member. Start simple. Build trust. Expand from there.

Day 1

Start with what annoys you

What's the task you dread most? The one that eats 30 minutes every morning? Hand that to your agent first. Morning briefs, inbox triage, scheduling - pick one.

Week 1

Connect your tools

Link your calendar, email, and project tools. Now your agent sees your world. It flags conflicts, chases follow-ups, and keeps you prepped without being asked.

Week 2+

Let it grow into the role

Add skills as you go. Weekly reports. Lead follow-ups. Meeting prep. Research. Your agent learns your preferences and gets better the more you delegate.

Think delegation, not commands. You wouldn't micromanage a good hire. Same here. Tell your agent what you need, not how to do it. It figures out the rest.

Client Story

From failed setup to fully running in three days.

Lisa JY Tan, founder of Economics Design, tried setting up OpenClaw on her own. YouTube tutorials, meetups, weekend attempts. Everything failed. Here's what happened when we did it together.
