How to Start an AI Business in 2026:
OpenClaw (formerly ClawdBot) and its skills marketplace ClawHub represent AI’s iPhone moment — and who’s actually positioned to profit from it. I compare the structural parallels between Apple’s App Store economy (which paid out $550 billion to developers) and the emerging AI skills ecosystem, where 3,000+ skills have already been built in just weeks with no coding required. I also share my honest take on why most beginners should not be chasing the skills gold rush, why businesses can’t safely deploy OpenClaw yet, and what the smarter play is if you’re non-technical — including the AI agency model, AI consulting, AI automation, and how to build a real AI business in 2026 using platforms like Claude, ChatGPT, and open-source AI tools. Whether you’re exploring AI business models, AI agents, personal AI assistants, or how to start an AI agency from scratch, this video gives you the full picture on where the real money is headed.
