Meeting our agentic future with Solopreneur+

It's hardly a secret I've been jazzed about agentic AI lately, especially free tools like the OpenClaw gateway, which gives users both incredible utility and flexibility.

In that spirit, today I'm launching Solopreneur+, a new digital hub for businesses of all sizes looking to scale using AI and other emerging technologies.

My immediate goal is to partner with forward-thinking companies that need custom AI implementations. This struck me as a good place to start considering all the stories I keep seeing in the business press that include datapoints like this recent one from Quartz:

“According to McKinsey's 2025 Global AI Survey... 88% of organizations now use AI in at least one business function, but just 39% report any enterprise-level EBIT impact. A RAND Corporation study found that more than 80% of AI projects fail, roughly twice the failure rate of IT projects that do not involve AI.”

Wow. Clearly, despite all the promise that AI clearly holds as a technical breakthrough, and despite incessant (and sometimes apocalyptic) hype from Silicon Valley companies building their own models, a lot of people in other sectors are still struggling to define their own use cases for AI, and with implementation.

If you're in that boat, let's talk. Just book a discovery call on my public calendar, or email me directly at peter[at]pmckay[dot]com.

Longer term, I want Solopreneur+ to become a comprehensive resource to help people navigate and thrive in this new era of innovation. To that end, a few other things in the works:

  • A Solopreneur+ newsletter: I’ll be launching a paid newsletter soon designed to pull back the curtain. (Never fear, though. These free updates from my personal site will continue as well on a separate track.) The new paid letter will document my own hands-on journey, offering practical insights, real-world case studies, and transparent breakdowns of how to leverage AI agents to drive massive productivity gains.
  • Open-Source Tools & Resources: In alignment with a commitment to the broader builder community, I plan to release open-source code repositories, minimalist development frameworks, and deployment scripts that you can use to power your own projects. Follow Solopreneur+ on GitHub to get notifications about future releases.

Ultimately, we are moving beyond simple automation. The next frontier of productivity belongs to AI agents capable of planning, executing, and optimizing workflows with minimal oversight. When properly integrated, these technologies act as a force multiplier, allowing individuals and small teams to achieve enterprise-scale results. Meanwhile, leaders can shift their focus from repetitive execution to high-level strategy.

Yes, there are risks. We should be honest about that. But at the same time, the opportunity is enormous.

Let's move toward it together.
