China now has a new AI side hustle On Taobao, remote OpenClaw installs are often listed around 100-200 RMB. In-person installs are often around 500 RMB, and some sellers quote far above that. What surprised me more is that many of these listings appear to be getting real orders. Who are the installers? According to Chinese AI creator Rockhazix, one installer he called was not a technical professional. He learned how to install OpenClaw online, saw the demand, tried offering the service, and started making good money from it. Does the installer use OpenClaw a lot? He said barely, coz there really isn’t a high-frequency scenario. Who are the buyers? According to the installer, many buyers are white-collar professionals facing brutal workplace competition, demanding bosses who keep saying “use AI,” and fear of being replaced by AI. They are basically saying: “I may not fully understand this yet, but I can’t afford to be the person who missed it.” The weirdest part The demand looks driven less by a killer app and more by anxiety, status pressure, and information asymmetry. P.S. Many of these installers use the DeepSeek logo as their profile picture on Chinese e-commerce platforms. Outside the AI bubble in China, DeepSeek has become a symbol of “the latest AI technology.” submitted by /u/MarketingNetMind
