§ 01 · The Hook
The bait, then the rug-pull.
Twenty-two tools. One custom OS. Built entirely in Claude Code, deployed on a self-improving agent hierarchy that adds features while the creator sleeps. Marcelo walks through every module of ClearMud OS live, including the two-model YouTube script pipeline that uses Opus for research and Sonnet for writing, and the Content Cascade that handles repurposing automatically twelve hours after upload.
What the video promised.

analogystory
00:00I created my very own content suite utilizing my OpenClaw AI agent. From YouTube scripts to video to social copy output to live streams and my very own content calendar that has officially replaced Notion.
00:13Today, I'm gonna show you the entire system that I built from the inside. And honestly, it's just insane what it can do now.
00:20So without squirrel ado, let's demo. Alright.
00:24So as you can see here on the screen, this is ClearMud OS. I originally built out this graphic user interface on a livestream. I will pop that up here if you wanted to see my vibe coding process of kinda getting to this point.
00:36I have since fine tuned it, uh, but I did build it live. This is my dashboard. This is where I just come in to take a look at stats.
00:43Right? These options here, Momentum, Performance, and Competitors, and Autopsy, these were actually features that I did not build myself.
00:51If you haven't checked out Thursday's video here, by the way, which is just blowing up, go check it out. I highlight one cron job that I have in place that runs every night in the middle of the night to self improve. So my Muddy OS, my main agent Muddy, will self improve one thing on ClearMode OS and one thing on Muddy OS.
01:10And all of these were built without me asking, and they are awesome. Now, originally, they were placed onto this left menu bar here, but I realized I could consolidate into the dashboard.
01:20So pretty nifty. Now, I want to show you one of my favorite parts of this app is the content calendar. I have spent so much time on this content calendar.
01:29I have officially migrated ClearMud's workspace off of Notion, and I operate fully out of here. So I'm going to give you a preview.
01:36Right? We have the Kanban boards. You can drag things from one to the next.
01:39I have one for livestreams, obviously, one for ideas, one for thumbnail and script just to show me where I am in the process with a given video that I've approved to go down the flow of starting to record and do the research. But let me show you within each video. If you click this, this looks almost identical to my Notion dashboard.
01:59And, you know, it brings in the long form titles from my YouTube script command. I don't have to copy paste each line manually. It is such a time saver.
02:08And I also have this cool recording mode that my system, my agent built for me. And then it also self improved a teleprompter for me. I might have to test this one day because look at this.
02:19It worked flawlessly. I can set the speed. It has this line on the screen, and it just goes.
02:25This, I didn't ask for, but I thought, you know what? How cool. Let's let's keep it and see if I use it down the road.
02:31Now why did I build this? Why don't why didn't I just keep using Notion? Well, my old way of writing YouTube scripts would output this markdown file.
02:41Now this markdown file has everything manual. Right? It has all these different titles, gives me all the reasoning, it has, you know, everything I had to copy paste manually into Notion.
02:52Well, now there's this add to calendar button. And when I press that button, it adds it to my calendar and pre fills out all of these fields for me. So that tedious task of copy pasting everything from what was originally a Cloud Code CLI slash Obsidian workflow for YouTube script, it's now automated to the point where, like, it saves me so much time.
03:17You're gonna notice something with everything I build. I build things that focus on one ROI metric only, and that's time.
03:26How much time can I free up in my schedule to focus on the things that I wanna do, which is making these videos, live streaming, and travel?
03:35Moving along, though. So the content calendar is great. I can dig more into it in future episodes, um, but I also wanna show off this calendar view as well.
03:44I can drag and drop. I can do quick edits to, you know, the status of anything. I can move the date, obviously, manually if I wanted to.
03:51I'm just so very proud of this that I want to show the world, and I I hope to inspire you to build your own version of it for your use case. Now this research tab, I pulled this.
04:05I gotta give credit where it's due. You gotta go watch this Greg Eisenberg interview with Matt Van Horn. He built this tool called last thirty days.
04:14Link again. And I'm not gonna run a fresh one. I'm just gonna show you what the output gives us.
04:19You put in a topic. It will scrape Reddit and X for anything related to that topic.
04:25It will give us a summary here with some key metrics up top. It'll give us key themes.
04:31It'll give us all the findings with the link if you wanted to go view them, and then suggested video angles. Now, I don't use this all the time. It's when I'm really trying to validate an idea and see if there's a need for that idea.
04:45In parallel with do I need to build this for myself. Right? Moving along to generate ideas.
04:52Now I also built this on a YouTube video comparison video here where I compared Cloud Code CLI versus Google AI Studio in the web. And I downloaded a handful of Patty Galloway transcripts.
05:07And at the time, I believe it was Claude Opus four. And I said, I want you to summarize all of these transcripts and create a methodology so that we can bake it into the logic.
05:16Whenever we enter in a video idea or niche, it'll give us an output based off of Patty Galloway's approach and criteria for selecting ideas. Now, I'm not gonna generate a new one for this video, but let's go look at our most recent one here.
05:30As you can see here, look at the format. It's great. It gives a score based off of Patty Galloway's criteria from the methodology.
05:38It gives us a title, you know, a quick summary, why it works, a thumbnail concept, and then I incorporated these ideas to add to my idea bank or go into the YouTube script. Moving on to the idea bank. This is where I will spend, you know, ten, fifteen, twenty minutes every Monday writing my own ideas.
05:56I write at least 10 a day. I got this idea from Paddy Galloway as well. Big shout out to Paddy Galloway.
06:02He's a huge inspiration for, uh, my approach to making content and building out this channel. And if you're serious about YouTube and don't know about him, go check him out. This, can add anything to a YouTube script, and it will it will preselect the title and the niche and fill out this data here.
06:19Now, this is one of the most used tools in this OS. Well, aside from Content Calendar, this is one of the most used tools in the OS.
06:27I give it a topic or idea, and then I give it some context if needed. When I run the YouTube script, it goes through what I have labeled a title, thumbnail, and hook methodology, which I have compiled from a number of different creators like Patty Galloway, Colin and Samir.
06:44The list goes on and on and on. I spent countless hours on the brain behind the YouTube script generator to where it gives me these really good ideas. Now, I'm gonna give you a preview of what the output used to look like.
06:57I also built this in a long form video. Here. It was also inspired by Alex Finn's interview on Peter's show here.
07:06You gotta always give credit where it's due. So thank you, Alex, for making great content and inspiring me to build out certain parts of my applications with some of your your tips and tricks.
07:17I will demo this a little bit later, but let's continue showing off the ClearMutOS. Now this is another tool that I built here on the channel. I built it in a long form video in a two part series here and here.
07:29Go check it out. I'm literally using the code base that I built. Right?
07:33I may have improved it since, but the foundation, the the the skeleton of what this operates off of was those two videos. So this is a really fun one because when you paste in your YouTube URL for a a long form video, the methodology I have baked into this is it analyzes the voice, the way I communicate, the tone.
07:53And it spits out copy based off of the way that I talk. So it doesn't need any predefined voice DNA. I didn't need to paste in articles of me writing to get my voice.
08:04It literally pulls it from the transcript. It pulls it from my audio. It is such a cool tool.
08:09And this is also automated with a sub agent that I'll I'll I'll touch on a little bit later. Now moving on to the livestreams tab. This is a fun one.
08:18One thing when I started livestreaming, was like, man, it would be really cool if I had a tool that would automatically analyze the transcript from a YouTube video, create an optimized YouTube description for it, and then also time stamps of talking points and change in topic throughout a livestream.
08:39A lot of these different tools I've built in Cloud Code CLI. And when I set up my OpenClaw AI agent, I brought everything in, and it helped me wire it all together and make it work. The it was very buggy at first.
08:51Listen. This was not a one shot. This is well over a hundred hours of work and iteration and sleepless nights because I was so energetic in getting it working to the way I wanted it to work.
09:03Right? What's really cool is I'm setting an automation in place now where I'm gonna have an AI agent forty eight hours after a livestream come, run this command, copy the outputs, go to my YouTube dashboard, fill them out for me. As of now, I still do it, but I'm going to hold its hand over the next seven to ten days, see how it does, and then I'm just going to hand it off.
09:24And I won't have to manually run this tool anymore. But it's a critical tool to my ClearMutOS. This next one is my copywriter.
09:32This was also inspired by that Alex Finn and Peter show. There's so much valuable information out there. You just got to go and consume content.
09:41Right? And don't copy people word for word, line for line, app for app. Take inspiration from it and make it your own.
09:50Solve a pain point that you have. Right? I don't use this section often.
09:56We have a newsletter kicking off here on the channel very soon. My agent Gary Vaynerchuk, he is going to be pushing out a draft this week.
10:05I'm going to approve it for next week. I want to make sure that our newsletter always provides value, So it's going to be different from our blog or our substack, which is just repurposed long form videos providing backlinks to our YouTube channel.
10:19The newsletter is going to be tips and tricks and prompts. It's always going to give value, um, so it's optional. Check the YouTube bio.
10:26Sign up for the newsletter. That will be kicking off within the next week or two on a weekly basis. So moving along here to the prompt library.
10:34This is something that's new that my agents built for me. So I have in Gary's brain for the newsletter, he's gonna start putting in all the prompts that he wants to include in newsletters in here.
10:46So this is all automated. I didn't build this. I didn't ask to build it.
10:49I didn't come up with the idea. They built the tool for themselves to prep for the newsletter launch.
10:55Pretty nifty. So there's a lot of work going on here this week at ClearMud. Now, this next tab here is optimize.
11:02I don't use it often, but the goal here is to optimize past videos, come up with new titles, analyze the voice, and generate thumbnails.
11:11Now, I'll be honest. I don't use this thumbnail generator yet. Right?
11:16But it's here for when I want to optimize it, improve it, and actually start using it. And once I have everything dialed in here, then I'll have an agent come in and automate the process of looking at past underperforming videos, go come up with new titles, go come up with new thumbnails, and set up AB testing for all of those thumbnails and titles.
11:36Right? This is a work in progress, but I wanted to show you how it looks today so that when I do another one of these videos breaking down this OS to show you the progress, you're gonna see how far it's come.
11:48Right? So I'm I'm essentially setting these bricks down. I'm building a foundation, and I'm slowly building off of it with iteration after iteration, new vertical automations, right, creating new sub agents as I hold its hand first.
12:04And then once I trust it, I let it do its thing. So so this one here is Content Cascade.
12:11This is just for me to double check to make sure that these automations go through. I deleted all of the old ones that were failing. I mean, there was, like, over 20 of them.
12:20But Hype, which is one of my sub agents that lives under Gary Vaynerchuk, he now generates twelve hours after a long form video gets posted on the YouTube channel. There's a cron job for this.
12:31He goes and generates copy using our video to social command here. And then he will go post it across all socials.
12:38He will also push an update live to clearmo.ai. We now have a blog live, which essentially I'm going to post articles about products that we release as well as YouTube video articles. Right?
12:50Just providing backlinks to the YouTube channel. So it's just regurgitating what I talk about here in this long form, but I thought it was a cool automation to set in place.
12:58And this one, I've handed off. I don't I don't hold its hand anymore. I don't have to confirm.
13:03It does everything itself. And this is just a dashboard for me to to monitor it.
13:08And as I build out different verticals, I'm gonna have the tab feature along the top, of course, right, so that I can monitor each of them. Now, SponsorHub, this is something that it built out for me. Because I've fed my Open Claw agent so much context about where I want to take this channel, what my goals are short, medium, and long term, it starts thinking in its overnight builds and self improvements of, okay, keeping our humans goals in mind, what can we build for him?
13:36Now, I'm not gonna I'm gonna blur most of this because I'm not ready to share my rate card and all of this, but, uh, it has a media kit, a rate card, a pitch generator for outreach, as well as an outreach tracker. Right?
13:49This is something that we built that we're not yet utilizing, but we're going to be utilizing this in the very, very near future. And then lastly, this growth roadmap. I have to blur some of it.
14:00Forgive me. I'm not yet ready to share all of this with the public, but it self improved and built its own roadmap interface.
14:07It also built this projector, which, sorry, I'm gonna have to blur, but it gives me revenue projections for the channel based off of my preferred approach and where we're spending the most time.
14:20All through this application, you see this floating note tab. I'm a big Google Keep guy.
14:26I always have been. I still use it on my mobile for certain things. But now anything related to ClearMutOS and content creation, no matter where I am, I can create a note here.
14:37And I can add it to a project. And then when I go into that project and select Notes up top, it slides in the notes, as you can see here on the screen.
14:48It's a pretty nifty tool. I don't use it as often as I should. But as I start to spend more and more time in here, which I have been, I'll be obviously populating whenever ideas come up.
14:59A lot of the times, I'll go straight to the video project to make the adjustments real time, but it's there if I need it. And as you can see here, I had to archive most of them so that the sensitive data wasn't being shown. But I have a rolling Muddy OS improvements, um, item so that, you know, during the week, I don't do infra stuff.
15:18I operate. I create content. I ideate.
15:21I edit. I post. Right?
15:23I livestream. The weekends, though, usually by the end of the week, this list is full. Every weekend now on Saturdays is a big infra day.
15:31I'll spend eight to ten hours improving Muddy OS and improving ClearMut OS. As of now, there's no changes to be made, so these are empty. Right?
15:39I also have an option to view the files within the ClearMode OS project folder. This is a nice to have. I don't use it often.
15:47I do have a documentation section that's rolling. So every time significant changes happen, it lets me know what version of the documentations that we're on. It it it was first a markdown file.
15:57As you can see, here's my tech stack. Right? Um, but then visually, I also have this really cool HTML that I can just click on, and it'll take me to that section.
16:06And as you can see, here's the architecture. For those curious, I don't plan on selling this to the public yet.
16:13Uh, I think it's it would be a great tool for creators. But listen, I built this for me. I built this to solve my own pain points.
16:21And more importantly, I built this so that I could and also light and dark mode. But I built this so that I could free up more of my time.
16:31Right? And that I could use my ClaudeCode CLI projects with them.
16:36So I can't turn this into a SaaS product because it requires significant changes on the back end wiring with how this works to make it SaaS friendly. Right?
16:45So this is just for me right now. And then moving along to the settings section, I will have to blur some of this here, but it just allows me to edit a lot of, you know, the functionality throughout the OS. I have a brand kit here for when we start doing the thumbnail generation.
17:02Our Google Nano Banana Pro Gemini API key pulls from these assets. I need to improve on that logic, but I have a place where when I update an asset and generate copy, rather when I generate images for something using our Nano Banana Pro workflow, it will pull from this brand kit now.
17:23Pretty nifty. Shout out to Derek in the community. He helped me based off of how he built his brand kit, make mine better.
17:30And that's what building community is all about. Right? It's not just copying people outright.
17:35It's looking at what they built and and thinking of how can I use part of what they build for me? Right? And that's why I'm creating this video.
17:43I hope that it inspires you to do the same. Now I do have a security and integrations tab. Listen, I'm gonna blur those.
17:50I don't want to, um, show those off right now because those aren't important for this demonstration. Now now that I've ran through ClearMutOS, I wanna give you a demo of how I use it on a weekly basis.
18:02So here's my YouTube script flow. When I've already selected an idea, right, I'm not gonna show you my research or my generate ideas or idea bank workflow because I've already highlighted all of those parts of ClearMutOS. I want to show you when I have the idea and if I want to feed it context, what happens on the back end to pull all of that off.
18:22Right? How this workflow actually works.
18:25Now let's say how SMBs can utilize OpenClaw AI agents to handle customer support.
18:42And I'm not gonna give it any context. Right? It's gonna do the research for me based off of that topic.
18:46Let's go ahead and run this YouTube script. As you can see here, it starts the process. This is a forward slash generate command via Claude code because that's how I originally built this system.
18:57And it's using Opus 4.6 for the first part of the YouTube script generation. How this works is Opus does the heavy lifting.
19:05Then it presents me three strategies to choose from, which you're about to see here in a moment. Um, then from there, I select the strategy.
19:13I give any notes if I want to make any changes. However, more often than not, I'm happy with the approaches. I pick a strategy.
19:20And then on the second turn, Sonnet gets triggered. Because I found that Sonnet not only is cheaper, but with all of the logic and methodology I have baked into these commands, it actually writes the script better than Opus does.
19:35Opus does research much more intelligently, but Sonnet does the better job at writing the script.
19:43And, you know, you gotta I gotta put an asterisk on it. It's because of the logic and the methodology and all the research and countless hours I've spent fine tuning how it works and how it generates and, you know, rules if then.
19:58Right? Like, requirements, uh, criteria that it operates off of.
20:03So keep that in mind. You you you gotta spend the time upfront to get these these things working so that the outputs are desirable, are good enough for you and what it is you want to accomplish.
20:16So it does take, you know, a few minutes here, but you can tell it's actually working, which is wonderful. All right.
20:22So it finished up. It took two minutes to run. Now let's go take a look here.
20:26Let's go review everything it's done. Now it does give you a summary of, like, what its recommendation is, but I always like going top to bottom here and and just reviewing everything. So it does a let me show you kind of like the step by step.
20:40It's first, it does a trend analysis why this topic works. It tries to validate the idea first.
20:46And then it does search and discovery data, audience fit, content to product pipeline, and then a voice profile match.
20:53Right? Does it match with the way we communicate here, with the way I've configured this system?
20:59And then phase two, it gives me three title, thumbnail, and hook strategies. Strategy number one, the live demo. I gave a pizza shop an AI employee.
21:09It handed over 50 customer questions. Interesting. Can preview the thumbnail concept.
21:15You know, it kinda just highlights key key metrics here, and then it gives me the hook. Right? This is the most important part is, like, how does the hook sound?
21:24Um, small business small businesses answer the same 10 questions over and over. What are your hours?
21:29Can you deliver? Okay. Interesting.
21:31Uh, strategy number two, how to bit how the how to business builder. How I built an AI customer support agent in one hour, free and open source. I like that.
21:40I like that title. What's the hook? If you're a small business owner and you're still answering the same customer support questions manually, What are your hours?
21:48Do you have parking? Can I book online? You're burning your time you don't have.
21:52Let's move on to strategy three, the replacement narrative. This AI agent replaced our customer support. Here's the exact setup.
22:00Okay. Okay. More demon like, more more demo focused.
22:04Right? Here's the hook. We're drowning in customer messages, same questions every day.
22:09So I did something about it. I built an AI agent that knows everything about the business, connects to WhatsApp, etcetera, etcetera. Okay.
22:14Let's go see what its recommendation was. Look at that. Its recommendation was my favorite intuitively.
22:21It's not always the case. Sometimes I push back and pick a different one. And this is also right?
22:26I can pick the strategy. And also, this is a prompt mechanism.
22:31I respond with my favorite strategy and if I want it to make any changes to it. I'm just going to say to, and we're going to send.
22:39And what it does now is it goes on to turn two. As you can see here, it's using Sonnet now.
22:45Right? It's still using Rex. Rex is our YouTube script writer, but Rex has access to both models.
22:51And depending on where he is in the workflow, he uses either Opus 4.6 or Sonnet. And he reports to Gary, our CMO.
23:00Right? So if I were to go to my OpenClaw AI agent right now and talk to Muddy, he would be readily available. This is not my primary agent doing this work.
23:08This is all divvied out to my sub agents, to my chief of staff first and then underlying sub agents, depending on what their role is within ClearMutOS or MuddyOS. Right? And you may be asking, why don't I just automate this?
23:23Honestly, I enjoy coming up with an idea. And honestly, I enjoy coming up with ideas.
23:29I enjoy the ideation process. I enjoy making thumbnails, believe it or not. I enjoy editing.
23:35So I have built all of these tools to free up my time to focus on what I enjoy doing the most. So I'm not yet ready to have an agent automate the YouTube script generation process because I am very thoughtful about what I create.
23:53I'm gonna be honest. I'm very selfish on the channel. You're gonna notice that a lot of my videos, I build things for me.
24:00I build things that I wanna see. And then in parallel, I also think as long as five or 10 people wanna see this, I think it's worth building.
24:10Right? So but first and foremost, I build out things that I wanna build. Now, am I gonna build out this YouTube script?
24:16Probably not because it's too general. I think there's enough content out there, uh, teaching businesses how to create their own chatbots. This is a very older topic.
24:25But I just wanted to show you how this YouTube script generation process works. As you can see, it's being very thorough. I have a lot of criteria, by the way, at my output.
24:36It has to not only generate, you know, not only generate the script, it optimizes a YouTube description for me.
24:44It optimizes, uh, suggested timestamps, which I do have to eventually edit once I'm done with the edit because it doesn't always flow, you know, minute for minute the way it suggests.
24:55So that's some minor human interaction I have to do down the road. I'm sure I will automate that at some point, but for now, it's it's it's something I do hands on. It gives me a copy paste a tags field, copy paste a, obviously, YouTube description, as I just mentioned, copy paste everything.
25:12And I'm gonna show you the automation from taking my YouTube script and adding it to my content calendar. I used to have to copy paste those code blocks for all of the metadata. Now it's all automated.
25:24It is pretty sweet.
25:33Alright. Look at that. It's done.
25:35Now it gives me the whole preview here, and then I have the option to add the calendar here. Right?
25:41I always just add the calendar, and we go check out the content calendar. And look at this.
25:47It's right here in the thumbnail script idea. So how I built an AI customer support agent in one hour, free and open source. The hook gets placed where it needs to get placed.
25:57The different title variations get placed where they need to get placed. Right?
26:01I mean, this has saved me so much time, and now it's saving me money each month because I don't have to pay for Notion. It is wonderful.
26:10So, yeah, that's the process.
26:19And then as you can see here in recording mode, right, we have our hook, and then we have the whole script with talking points. Before I record a video, I always just read through it, uh, line for line so I can get an idea of the approach it wants to take. And then I'll make any adjustments I think it needs to to to have.
26:36And then I just I I flow. Right? This entire video, I'm not reading off of a script.
26:42I knew the hook. I knew the talking points. And I knew I was gonna be demoing my app and then demoing you know, showing off the app first and foremost and then demoing, you know, my favorite part of the automation in place.
26:54So I hope you found some value in today's video. I hope this inspires you to build your own version of it to solve your pain points. Everything I build on this channel, I I build for me.
27:07I build to solve pain points for me. Right now, the number one ROI metric I track is time. How much time can I save by building out solutions?
27:18Right? So that I can focus on the things that I want to focus on, which is making each video better than the last and providing as much value as possible in live streams. Yeah.
27:28Drop a comment below. Let me know what you're building. Let me know what this has inspired you to build.
27:34And, yeah, I'm not an AI expert. I'm building in public and sharing what actually works. If you'd like to see me make particular video around a specific topic, drop a comment below.
27:42Let me know who you are, what you do, who your target audience is, and what your question is, and I will add a video to my queue custom tailored just for you. Thank you so much for tuning in to today's video. My name is Marcelo.
27:53This is ClearMud, and clarity matters.
§ · For Joe
Build the OS, not just the tool.
ClearMud OS playbook
Every piece Marcelo built solves exactly one pain point — the compounding comes from wiring them all together under one UI with shared agents.
- Use the two-model split: Opus or best model only for research and strategy, Sonnet for execution. Same or better output at lower cost.
- Give your main agent a goals document with channel context and short/medium/long-term targets. It starts building toward those goals autonomously overnight.
- Wire a Content Cascade: one long-form upload should auto-trigger blog post, social copy, and cross-post via a sub-agent on a 12-hour delay.
- Structure sub-agents by function (CMO, script writer, social poster) not by task. Each agent owns a domain, reports up, acts freely within it.
- Block one day per week as infra day. Weekday = operate. Weekend = improve the agents. Never mix the two.
- Build the teleprompter even if you think you will not use it. The agent-built features you did not ask for often become the ones you use most.
§ · For You
Your time is the only budget that matters.
For anyone building with AI
Every tool Marcelo built was measured by a single question: how many hours does this free up? That question will cut more scope creep than any prioritization framework.
- Pick one task you repeat every week and calculate the actual time cost of doing it manually.
- You do not need to build a full OS. One automated pipeline (idea to script, or video to social post) compounds fast.
- Keep the parts you enjoy. Automation should free you for your best work, not replace it entirely.
- The overnight self-improvement loop works because Marcelo gave his agents rich context about his goals. Quality of output scales with quality of context you put in.
