What excites me: ChatGPT Ads

Sponsored martinmueller.dev ad card — AWS ohne Overhead
The ad · martinmueller.dev
ChatGPT conversation showing the sponsored placement in context
In context · live ChatGPT placement
  • Distribution at intent — sponsored placements below answers, matched to conversation context (not a search results page)
  • Platform maturing fast — Ads Manager in Europe · CPC + conversion measurement · still early formats
  • Builder angle — product feeds, landing pages, attribution — same craft as growth + infra work
  • Watching it like early Google/Facebook ads: messy now, obvious in hindsight

Personal interest, not a pitch — happy to swap notes after the talk if you're experimenting too.

Agenda

~30 minutes

  1. Speaker intro · clients · what excites me (ChatGPT Ads)
  2. What I actually run — VPS + Telegram + AWS
  3. Human in the loop — not full autonomy
  4. Dev pipeline flow — issue → PR
  5. Two-tier architecture — control plane vs AWS targets
  6. Managing AWS from Telegram — SSO, pipelines, ops
  7. Economics — VPS + AWS + LLM spend
  8. Live demo — Telegram → agent → PR
  9. Practical learnings — CI, cost, models, dual track

Honest architecture

AI Factory — cool concept, skeptical for code

AI factory diagram — issues in, PRs out, human review at the merge gate
  • AI Factory — issues in, PRs out, 24/7. Great buzzword · I'm not trusting full autonomy on production code yet
  • Telegram — talk to the agent from your phone, anywhere
  • Hostinger VPS — OpenClaw in Docker, ~€10/mo, always on
  • Watches GitHub issues, plans, codes, opens PRs · AWS targets (HalloCasa, ai-secure, qr-plakat)
  • Human in the loop — review diff, SSO approve, kill runaway jobs. Non-negotiable when code matters — at least for now

Factory runs overnight · you own the merge. Telegram on the go — or pair deeply in Cursor IDE.

Agent runtime

What is OpenClaw?

  • Open-source gateway — self-hosted on your VPS (Docker), always on
  • Messengers in — Telegram, Slack · tools out — shell, GitHub, AWS SSO, email
  • Persistent memory, cron heartbeats, skills — an agent harness, not just a chat UI
  • Routes to Cursor CLI / LLMs · plans, codes, opens PRs — with human gates

Alternatives: Hermes (Nous Research · self-hosted personal assistant) · LangDock (hosted EU platform · DSGVO-oriented · less DIY)

Design principle

Human in the loop — always

  • Agents execute — plan, code, test, open PR
  • Humans decide — review diff, approve merge, kill runaway jobs
  • Full autonomy sounds cool · production needs guardrails
  • HalloCasa · ai-secure · qr-plakat: agent proposes · you SSO-approve + merge

Autonomous pipeline ≠ autonomous production. The factory runs 24/7 — you still own the merge button.

Hook

What if your dev pipeline never slept?

  • Telegram ping at 2am — or GitHub issue lands overnight
  • Agent on VPS plans, codes, opens PR — you review over coffee
  • Needs AWS? HalloCasa pipeline · ai-secure scan · qr-plakat deploy — you SSO-approve on phone

Architecture

Two tiers — VPS control plane, AWS production

Architecture diagram

Telegram → OpenClaw on VPS → manages HalloCasa · ai-secure · qr-plakat on AWS

Key components

  • VPS: OpenClaw gateway · Docker · cron heartbeats · MEMORY.md
  • Interface: Telegram topics · Slack mirror · GitHub via gh CLI
  • Coding: Cursor CLI — plan on Opus, implement on Composer
  • AWS: SSO device-code · CDK deploy · CodePipeline trigger
  • Memory: markdown files on disk — MEMORY.md, skills, daily notes

Dev pipeline agents

  • Plan agent — reasoning model breaks issue into steps
  • Code agent — implements, runs tests, fixes failures
  • Review agent — automated sanity check before PR
  • Human gate — diff review, merge approval, token/spend caps
  • Persistent VPS shell · long Cursor CLI sessions · Telegram always on

Memory & state — why VPS helps

  • MEMORY.md + daily notes — curated long-term context
  • heartbeat-state.json — cron checks, issue polling
  • Skills + TOOLS.md — how-to for AWS SSO, gh, MCP

AWS learnings

Managing prod from Telegram

  • HalloCasa — CDK, CodePipeline trigger, prod DB ops via SSO
  • ai-secure.dev — AgentCore, MCP scans, compliance reports
  • qr-plakat.de — OpenNext on AWS · hosted landing pages with metadata preview
  • Agent reads TOOLS.md → knows device-code SSO flow → sends you URL + code
  • Real DevOps value: one interface (Telegram) across multiple AWS accounts

Economics

Real numbers

~€10

Hostinger VPS / month

varies

HalloCasa · ai-secure.dev · qr-plakat.de

~95%

LLM spend (subscriptions > API keys)

Subscriptions + fast CI keep the agent affordable at scale

Live demo

Issue → PR in minutes · merge when you're ready

  1. 1. Message in Telegram (or GitHub issue lands)
  2. 2. OpenClaw on VPS plans + Cursor CLI implements
  3. 3. PR opened — needs AWS? SSO device-code to your phone
  4. 4. CodePipeline / CDK deploy to prod
  5. 5. You review the diff and merge — human in the loop

Fallback: pre-recorded demo clip if live fails

Learnings

What actually moved the needle

  • CI/CD + GitHub checks — offload deterministic work from the agent (lint, typecheck, tests). Keep build times short — minutes cost money.
  • LLM subscriptions — Cursor Pro etc. instead of raw API keys where possible. ~95% of spend is tokens anyway.
  • Cheap models are enough — Composer, Grok for implementation; reserve Opus for planning. Good enough, much cheaper.
  • Dual track — ship from Telegram (async, mobile) and from Cursor IDE (deep focus). Same repos, same PR workflow.
  • Self-update — configure OpenClaw to upgrade itself + skills (gateway, clawhub, npx skills update) so the agent stays current without SSH babysitting.
  • Share the agent — give co-founders / colleagues access (Telegram group, Slack channel). Non-technical teammates get the benefit too — and it saves you being the bottleneck.
