Agency owner automates most operations with a ChatGPT subscription and Codex CLI, mulls selling the workflows
Heavy_Event9815 · reddit · 2026-11-15
A creative agency founder (branding, UI/UX, web) reverse-engineered workflow patterns from tools like HeyClicky and Grok bots, then rebuilt his own versions using Codex CLI on a plain ChatGPT subscription—no separate automation platforms.
What's automated so far:
- Lead research and qualification
- Organic content creation and distribution
- Social media workflows
- CRM updates and lead management
- Outreach prep and follow-ups
The workflows are already driving real organic traffic and leads. He's now weighing packaging them as customizable Codex CLI setups for other agencies, and asks which model makes sense: one-time workflow packages, implementation fees, or ongoing maintenance—plus how others handle reliability, auth, and platform restrictions when distributing agent systems.
