if you want to know how people are selling managed AI agents for $5,000 per client per month....
this is the playbook.
Corey Ganim (@coreyganim)
This guy closes $5K/month managed agent clients and his AI agent does the fulfillment.
His agent Dewey builds the client's agent, onboards it into their Slack, and handles the customer support after.
@nickvasiles watches client problems get solved from his phone while he's on a walk.
He came back on the Build With AI podcast to walk through the entire system. Here's what I learned:
Agents building agents is here. Dewey built a $5K/month client's agent on @Orgo and onboarded it into their Slack himself.
The company behind Hermes is hiring forward deployed engineers for enterprise. The SMB and mid-market layer beneath is up for grabs.
His agent has its own email, phone, and card. Dewey signed up for Higgsfield and paid for it himself.
Customer support runs without him. Dewey sits in iMessage group chats with clients and fixes issues on the fly.
The 80/20 stack: a harness (Hermes or OpenClaw), a model, an Orgo computer, Agent Mail, Agent Phone, Obsidian, Honcho for memory, Composio, Latitude.
Theagentbundle.com packages the agent card, email, and phone for about $20/month.
Templatize once, deploy forever. Save your ideal stack as an Orgo template and one-click clone it for every client.
Nobody pays $5K/month for an agent that doesn't make them money. Build the client an agent, then help them resell it to THEIR customers. B2B2B never churns.
Skills come from a context dump. The client dumps everything into Slack and Dewey turns the discovery call transcript into skills.
Sell to real businesses, not startups. SMBs doing $1M to $2M minimum pay more and ask fewer questions.
Nick put Dewey's entire build into a simple blueprint. Anyone can set this up and be texting their agent in under 2 minutes.

His 2 key takeaways:
Build is commoditized. The valuable skill is asking the right questions and knowing which tool to point the agent at.
Speed to value wins. The same day a client wires money, ship them something. Agent live by day two.
Nick is living further in the future than almost anyone I know and round two did not disappoint. Go follow @nickvasiles.
