Why this guide exists

The official OpenClaw docs are comprehensive but developer-focused. This guide strips away the jargon and gives you a clear path from zero to a working setup — with opinionated defaults that just work.

Learning AI shouldn't feel like a second job.

I know what it feels like to come home after a day of work and try to learn AI at night.

People always ask me how I balance a full-time job with a growing creator business and two kids. The honest answer: I've set up OpenClaw as my chief of staff and Claude Code as my agent team to automate the busywork I used to do manually.

I've shared parts of my system with 100,000+ people on YouTube and my newsletter. You can watch those for free.

This course is the fast track — everything in one place, concise, opinionated, and built for busy people who just want to copy my setup as quickly as possible.

Is this course right for you?

This course is for you if:

  • ✅You're a PM, founder or busy professional who wants to use AI to save time and automate busywork
  • ✅You want opinionated “just do this” defaults, not a tour of every option
  • ✅You value concise, no-BS content over comprehensive coverage

This course is NOT for you if:

  • ❌You're already an advanced OpenClaw and Claude Code user
  • ❌You want a live cohort course — this is self-serve by design
  • ❌You want a laundry list of AI prompts and skills (I've only included what I actually use personally)

Get early access to every guide, prompt, and skill.

$150/year. New sections ship regularly — you get everything I add. The price will go up once the full course is complete.

FAQ

What do I get for $150/year?

Full access to the course (videos + written guides + copy-paste prompts and skills), the AI Slack community, partner perks, Colin's Technical Foundations course, and every tutorial I've ever written. Plus everything I add in the future.

Do I need to be a developer?

No. Everything is written for PMs, marketers, and founders who want to use AI without writing code.

How is this different from your newsletter and YouTube?

This course is the speed run option — I've included my go-to prompts and skills and opinionated defaults for OpenClaw and Claude Code so that you can get set up and running in an afternoon.

How is this different from other AI courses?

Most courses require you to watch 10+ hours of video or attend live cohorts that cost thousands. I've designed each section of this course to be self-contained, opinionated, and built to get you results in an afternoon. At $150/year during early access, it's also a fraction of the cost.

Will the price go up?

Yes. The current price is early access. Once all sections are complete, the price will go up.

Can I cancel?

Anytime through Substack.
