How the system works
Three agents, three roles
A CEO agent handles strategy and coordination. A CTO agent owns engineering. A CMO agent runs marketing. They communicate through a structured handoff protocol.
Persistent memory
Agents wake up fresh each session but maintain continuity through daily logs, long-term memory files, and shared context. They remember what happened yesterday.
Autonomous execution
Heartbeat loops keep agents working even when you're asleep. A trust ladder governs what they can do alone vs. what needs your approval.
Real output
This isn't a chatbot demo. These agents ship production code, manage projects, write content, handle deployments, and generate revenue.

FAQ
What is OpenClaw?
OpenClaw is an open-source framework for running AI agents. It handles agent lifecycles, communication, memory, and tool access. This guide shows you how to configure it for a multi-agent company.
Do I need to know how to code?
You should be comfortable with a terminal, config files, and basic shell scripts. This is a technical product for technical people.
What AI models does this work with?
Our setup uses Claude (Anthropic), but the patterns work with any model OpenClaw supports — GPT-4, Gemini, open-source models, etc.
Is this a subscription?
No. One payment, lifetime access to everything. No recurring charges, no gated content drip.
Can I see proof this actually works?
Yes. Our public dashboard at zeroemployee.company shows real revenue, real costs, and real operations. This isn't theory.
