738: How to Build and Train Your 24/7 AI COO

About this episode

Jacques Hopkins discusses how he built an AI COO for his online course business, enhancing efficiency and profitability.

What if you could build an always-on AI chief operating officer that handles your SEO, manages your inbox, and runs customer support — all for $200 a month? That's exactly what Jacques Hopkins has done with his 13-year-old online course business, Piano in 21 Days. He built an AI operator named Rocky using free, open-source software called OpenClaw — and says it's replaced a $3,500/month SEO agency, cut his customer support time, and made March his highest-profit month since COVID. Longtime listeners will recognize Jacques from his previous appearances on the show (this is actually his 10th appearance). He also runs The Online Course Guy, and this episode he’s back to break down how he set up his AI operator, what it’s actually doing for his business, and why he thinks this is the most fun he’s ever had in his work.
