Brief

Corey Ganim outlines @nickvasiles' playbook to build a managed AI-agents business: charge $5K/month per agent, start with a $1K paid audit credited to month one, record and map client workflows, and automate the highest-impact task first. Use a Hermes+Composio+Orgo stack (26s agent provisioning), rapid skill creation via Claude Code, cloned golden snapshots, and watchdogs to achieve high margins and low churn.

HOW TO MAKE $50K/MONTH SELLING MANAGED AI AGENTS (FULL COURSE)

The model: sell managed AI agents to businesses for $5K/month each. You handle the infrastructure, they get an employee that never sleeps.

10 clients puts you at $50K MRR with 85%+ margins, run entirely by you and a fleet of agents.

@nickvasiles is doing exactly this, and he came on the pod to walk through the whole playbook.

Here's what I learned:

  1. The arbitrage is that nobody knows this is possible. 99% of business owners are still asking ChatGPT what the weather is. One working agent hooks them on the spot.

  2. Sell abundance. Unlimited agents, unlimited infrastructure. They don't care what an MCP is, they care that their problem is gone.

  3. Don't niche too early. Say yes to everyone and let the market pull you. You find the niche by doing reps, not guessing.

  4. Paid audit into managed service. Charge $1K to map every automation opportunity, then credit it toward month one. Qualifies the lead, makes the upsell a no-brainer.

  5. First call, don't sell. Record it, map the workflow tip to tail, find the automation with the most value and least effort. Start there.

  6. The stack is Hermes + Composio + Orgo. Composio connects all their apps in one click. Orgo spins up a working Hermes agent in 26 seconds.

  7. Productize with a golden snapshot. Build one perfect agent, clone it, and every copy comes over one for one with auth intact.

  8. Turn client call transcripts into skills in 10 minutes. Feed the recording to Claude Code, write the skill, port it to the client's agent via Orgo MCP.

  9. Watchdogs make you look elite. Get alerted before the client notices anything broke. "Already fixed it" is why they keep paying you.

  10. You become their guy. You drive more outcomes than their own employees, they credit every win to you, and churn drops to almost nothing.

His 2 key takeaways:

  1. Bet on cost going to zero. They launched unlimited tokens when it was barely profitable because they knew they'd capture the spread. Build for where the puck is going.

  2. One client every six weeks gets you to $600K a year. The model isn't hard, it's just unevenly executed. That's the entire opportunity.

Nick is crushing this model and we had a blast diving deep on how you can do the same.
