Open Claw + Rork is insane🤯

I built this Gym app in 1 prompt with Opus 4.6 using Rork Max.

Now I can hook up Eddie

to a tiktok account

let him generate post with a

and learn to get millions of views on automatic.

using a repeatable format.
and quickly scale this past $10k/mo

2026 is the year of apps and distribution

I'm seeing this a lot more guys.

In terms of distribution, a lot of founders winning with YOUTUBE SEO.

Not google SEO, but youtube SEO!

Right now, it's relatively easy to rank #1 on youtube for some keywords of your choice.

These viewers have purchase intent, and I have a lot of starter story episodes in the pipeline that are going to dive more into this.

Here's a great episode on this right now we just released. More coming soon.

traction is all you need

took me a few years to figure this out...

whenever you start seeing the first signs of something working, that's not the time to relax
