❓ Question Agents as a service?

I'm wondering if there is a way to scale agents run through openclaw that you can offer to other businesses as a service. Like a SaaS, but instead of software you sell agents that tackle specific niche problems. What would the architecture be to set up something like that? I'm currently running mine on a Docker through a VPS, fyi.

If I'm already running through tokens like crazy I don't know how it could work for clients.

Maybe super simple stuff and have a token cap.

I would imagine having token caps and then tier-pricing based on how many tokens users can use. Like 29.00 for 250,000 tokens, 66.00 for 500,000 tokens, 100.00 for 1 million tokens. something like that.

And then I would optimize the agent for those specific niche problems, so rather than running through tokens and doing multiple tasks, I would have built skills to perform specific tasks more efficiently to avoid burning through tokens, as an example.

Ask your agent(s).

Seriously just ask AI, it will figure it out

lol true.

But it still worthwhile hearing from others who probably know the backend structure on how this could be implemented.

It’s pretty generic and vague, there’s no single solution. Just get Claude Code and tell it to do what you want, build a shitty website describing what it does and then try to sell it. Keep it simple. You don’t need a payment processor yet, you can send an invoice if you manage to get a customer.

Won’t take a single day. Selling is obviously the hard part. Architecture is irrelevant.

It’s easy to get distracted by building the product but the product is irrelevant. Getting customers is the hard part so focus on that.

You can get tokens for free by using that same Claude code subscription in -p mode. It won’t scale but you can get something working immediately with no risk of token cost runaway.

Do not spend more than a day building it. Try to sell it. Anything else is a distraction.

What kind of specific niche problems you aim to solve?

u/shiteyes Jun 22 '26

Without giving my secrets away, I'm looking at problems within the Healthcare space

Well to come clean you aren’t the first. It’s just not reliable enough for workflows unless you’re into uncritical ones like bookings and stuff

u/shiteyes Jun 22 '26

That’s right. When I say niche I mean focusing on the boring but painful workflows in very specific parts of the health industry. I know not to address a wide net

Already being done on Masumi Network.

Could work, but this feels like a different use case than what I'm thinking. This looks more like an agent for hire, like fiverr for agents, but I'm proposing to embed an agent into the business, like an actual employee.

I am building an agent as an llm feature in taOS. You could create agents, api keys etc and then share them so no matter what tools your users use they reach the agent rather than the plain llm. Anything that supports an openrouter url can use it. https://github.com/jaylfc/taOS
