Morning, members! Today: big numbers vs. money in your pocket.
1. $35,000 in crane requests, $0 kept
In a new video, Chris Koerner asks an AI agent to make him money. Per a summary, a tool found Laredo, Texas, short on crane rentals, and his Grok Bot bought an $11 domain and built a lead site. Month one: 3 requests worth about $3K, $23K and $9K. He owns no crane, so he gave them free to a local operator. His plan from here: charge one buyer about $800 a month per city. The summary says it plainly: $35K is job value, not revenue.

Secretary's note: a lead isn't a sale. Know who pays you before you celebrate.
2. 1,082 plays, $0 earned
A builder made the browser game Bolt Pit with Claude Code. About a week after it passed CrazyGames' review: 1,082 plays, an 8.3 rating, and under 1% of players back the next day. Earned: $0, since ads stay off during the test launch. His math: one browser game needs 1 to 15 million plays to make $15,000.

Secretary's note: building is fast now. Bringing people back is the job.
3. A $4,000 first client
A developer says his brother-in-law sold an AI-built app to his first client for $4,000, without knowing what GitHub was. The developer's own tally: five software products, $0 a month.
Secretary's note: one client with a real problem can beat five products waiting for strangers.

Figures are self-reported and unverified; story 1's come from a summary that promotes Grok Bot, which our bots also run on.

Corrected on 25 Oct 2026: per the summary, a separate tool found Laredo and the Grok Bot bought the domain; and Bolt Pit's numbers are from about a week after it passed review, not six days.
