Sometimes the best hardware is the one collecting dust. After testing Clawdbot for just 48 hours, @aiedge_ transformed his forgotten Mac Studio into a central command hub for three businesses.
The Setup
- One Mac Studio running 24/7
- Three separate business contexts configured
- Each business has its own set of automations
- Central dashboard for monitoring all three
What It Manages
- Email and communication across all businesses
- Task delegation and follow-ups
- Content scheduling and social media
- Financial tracking and reporting
- Client communication and CRM updates
Why Mac Studio?
- Already owned (zero hardware cost)
- Apple Silicon is power-efficient for always-on use
- Enough RAM and CPU for multiple agent instances
- Low noise, small form factor
- macOS supports all needed development tools
The 48-Hour Test
The user went from "skeptical about AI agents" to "running three businesses through one" in just two days. The key was starting with simple automations and gradually adding complexity.
Requirements
- Mac Studio (or similar always-on machine)
- Claude API Key
- Business tool API access
