i let an ai agent run my business for 96 hours
from L E S S O N S - with Lennox Saint · host Lennox Saint
Lennox gave an autonomous AI agent one job: make $10,000 in 30 days. The agent got its own Stripe, Threads, X, Gmail, and business bank setup. After 96 hours, the receipts were messy: 123 million tokens used, 2,311 site visits, 93 checkout clicks, seven leads, and zero dollars made. This episode breaks down what Lenny Claw did on its own, where Lennox had to steer it, why the agent refused a direct pricing instruction, and why this experiment points at the next two years of AI work.
