I Don't Just Consult.I Build.

Look, I'm going to be straight with you. My name is Mark Cijo and I'm based in Dubai. I build multi-agent AI workforces for businesses using OpenClaw. Not chatbots. Not those little “AI assistants” that answer three questions and break. I'm talking about full agent hierarchies — complete with a COO, department heads, and specialist agents — that actually replace operational overhead in your business.

Here's why you should care: My own agency runs on 18 AI agents across four departments — web development, digital marketing, email marketing, and personal operations. Every morning brief, every task assignment, every campaign monitor, every status report... it all runs automatically through a single Telegram chat with my AI COO named Alex.

I didn't build this system because I read about AI on Twitter and thought it was cool. I built it because I was losing my mind trying to context-switch between four departments, chase down updates from team members, and make sure nothing fell through the cracks. It was killing my productivity and — honestly — my sanity.

The system works. It's been running 24/7 for months. Zero unplanned downtime. And here's the part that blows people's minds — the entire thing runs on a $600 Mac Mini sitting in my apartment. No massive cloud bills. No complicated infrastructure. Just agents doing work, all day, every day.

Now I build the exact same thing for other businesses. Same tools. Same methodology. Custom-designed for whatever operations you need to automate.

The Real Story

Why I Started Building AI Workforces

Let me tell you something most “AI consultants” won't admit. Most of them have never actually deployed an AI system that runs in production. They've read the docs. They've watched the YouTube videos. They've maybe built a proof of concept that worked for a demo. But they've never had to wake up at 3am because an agent was making bad decisions with a real client's data.

I have. And that's what separates what I do from the noise.

Here's the journey, if you want the honest version:

I started as a web developer and digital marketer. Built websites. Ran SEO campaigns. Managed paid ads. Did email marketing. The typical agency playbook. And the work was good — clients were happy, revenue was growing. But the operational side was a nightmare.

Every morning I'd wake up to a tsunami of messages. Client wants an update on their website. Another client wants to know why their email open rates dropped. My team needs approval on a design. Someone forgot to submit a campaign report. And I'm the bottleneck for all of it.

I tried everything. Project management tools. Hiring coordinators. Weekly standups. SOPs that nobody read. None of it solved the fundamental problem: there were too many small, repetitive tasks that required human judgment but not human creativity.

Checking if a website is still up? A human shouldn't be doing that. Sending a morning status report? Automated. Following up on a lead who filled out a form three days ago? Automated. Compiling campaign metrics into a weekly brief? Automated.

When I discovered OpenClaw, it clicked. This wasn't another chatbot framework. This was a platform for building AI agents that could actually do things. Agents with persistent memory. Agents that could call APIs, run on schedules, talk to each other through Discord channels, and receive instructions through Telegram. Real agents with real capabilities.

So I went all in. Spent months designing the hierarchy, writing SOUL.md personality files for each agent, configuring skill sets, setting up cron jobs, testing edge cases, and fixing the 147 things that broke along the way. The result was an 18-agent workforce that now runs my entire agency's operations.

And here's the thing that surprises people the most: it's not magic. It's engineering. It's understanding your business processes well enough to translate them into agent behavior. It's knowing which LLM to use for which task. It's designing communication flows that don't create confusion. It's the boring, methodical work of actually building something that works in production — not just in a demo.

Journey

How I Got Here

1

Started in Web Dev & Digital Marketing

I ran a digital agency in Dubai. Websites, SEO, paid ads, email campaigns — the whole stack. And like every agency owner, I was drowning in operational overhead. Client follow-ups, campaign monitoring, team coordination... it never stopped.

2

Hit the Scaling Wall

You know that moment where you realize hiring more people won't fix the problem? That was me. Every new team member needed onboarding, management, and quality checks. The coordination cost of a growing team was eating into the actual work.

3

Discovered OpenClaw & Agent Systems

When I found OpenClaw, I didn't see a chatbot framework. I saw the infrastructure for building an entire workforce. Agents with real personalities, real skills, real memory. Agents that could talk to each other, delegate tasks, and run on schedules.

4

Built My Own 18-Agent Workforce

I spent months designing, building, and testing. The result: 18 AI agents across 4 departments — web development, digital marketing, email marketing, and personal operations. An AI COO named Alex coordinates everything through one Telegram chat.

Now I Build the Same for Others

Once my system was running in production and proving itself daily, other business owners started asking me to build the same thing for them. That's what I do now. Same methodology. Same tools. Custom-designed for each business.

Expertise

What I Specialize In

I don't do everything. I do these four things better than anyone else I know.

Multi-Agent Systems

I design agent hierarchies that mirror real org charts — COOs, department heads, specialists — each with defined roles, communication protocols, and chain-of-command logic. This isn't a chatbot with a fancy name. It's a real organizational structure that happens to be made of AI.

OpenClaw Platform

Deep expertise in the OpenClaw framework. I build agents with custom SOUL.md personalities, targeted skill sets, cron jobs that run like clockwork, and cross-agent coordination that would make most human teams jealous. I've pushed this platform further than most people know it can go.

Business Automation

I translate messy, real-world business processes into structured agent workflows. Marketing campaigns, operations management, email sequences, customer support — any department that runs on repetitive processes can be automated. The key is understanding the business first, then building the tech.

Infrastructure Design

Self-hosted systems on commodity hardware. Mac Minis, VPS instances, Telegram and Discord integrations, custom Mission Control dashboards. No expensive cloud bills. No vendor lock-in. Your agents run on your hardware, and you own everything.

Philosophy

How I Work

I use the same tools I sell. Period. My business runs on the same agent systems I build for clients. If something doesn't work in production for me, I don't ship it to you. That's not a sales pitch — it's how I filter out bad ideas before they reach your business.

Every agent system starts with your operations, not technology. I don't show up with a pre-built template and try to shove your business into it. I audit how your business actually runs — the messy, real-world version, not the org chart you put on your website. I identify where agents will have the highest impact. Then I design a hierarchy that makes sense for your specific workflows.

I don't over-engineer. If a solo agent solves your problem, I won't sell you a workforce. If you need three agents instead of eighteen, that's what I'll build. The goal is results, not complexity. I've seen too many consultants build complicated systems just to justify their fees. I'd rather build something simple that actually works.

And here's the part that matters most: I don't disappear after deployment. Your agents are running in production, handling real business operations. Things will need adjusting. Workflows will change. New opportunities will come up. I'm in this for the long haul, not just the initial build.

The Difference

Why Not Just Use ChatGPT?

I get this question a lot. And it's a fair one. Why pay someone to build you AI agents when you can just use ChatGPT or Claude directly?

Here's the honest answer: ChatGPT is a great tool. I use it every day. But there's a massive difference between a tool you interact with and an agent that works for you autonomously.

ChatGPT waits for you to ask it something. My agents don't wait for anything. They wake up at 7am, check all your systems, compile a morning brief, and send it to your Telegram before you've had your coffee. They monitor your website uptime every hour and alert you the second something goes down. They follow up with leads on day 1, day 3, and day 7 automatically. They compile campaign reports every Friday at 5pm whether you remember to ask for them or not.

ChatGPT doesn't have memory between conversations. My agents have persistent memory — they remember every interaction, every task, every client preference. They build context over time and get better at their jobs.

ChatGPT can't talk to other ChatGPTs. My agents communicate with each other through structured channels. The marketing head can request assets from the web development team. The email specialist can pull audience data from the CRM agent. They coordinate like a real team because they're designed to work as a real team.

That's the difference. It's not about the AI being smarter. It's about the system being designed for your business. And that system design — the architecture, the communication flows, the skill configurations, the personality tuning — that's what I do.

“The best automation doesn't feel like automation. It feels like having a really good team that never forgets, never sleeps, and never drops the ball.”

I'm not trying to replace your team. I'm trying to give your team superpowers. When the repetitive, time-consuming operational tasks are handled by agents, your human team gets to focus on what they're actually good at — creative work, strategy, relationship building, and the stuff that requires a human touch.

That's the real win here. It's not about cutting costs (though you will). It's about unlocking the capacity you already have.
