Eric Siu is running an 8-figure marketing agency—and rebuilding it around AI agents.

In this episode of The Next New Thing, Eric breaks down how he’s using Open Claw to generate content, drive inbound leads, automate outbound sales, and even manage his team internally.

This isn’t surface-level AI usage. His system is connected to APIs, Slack, CRMs, and internal data—allowing agents to create X content that drives real customers, generate videos automatically, run cold email campaigns, revive lost deals, and act as full-stack sales assistants.

He also shares how his team is using AI for hiring (including a “Beat Claude” challenge), performance management, and building internal tools that save 20–40 hours per week per employee.

The big idea: stop hiring humans to do repetitive work—and start building systems where agents handle execution, while humans focus on strategy.

This episode is a deep dive into what an AI-native company actually looks like in practice.
