Guerin Green, an AI business consultant and founder of Novel Cognition, has built an autonomous AI agent named Cassia that can perform a wide range of tasks without human oversight. Cassia can run security audits, manage email and social media, rewrite press releases, and even build functional applications in under a minute. Green has developed Cassia within a secure virtual environment to address the security risks of early autonomous AI tools. Cassia is part of a broader network of collaborating AI agents being built by Green’s Hidden State Drift Mastermind group, which aims to revolutionize digital marketing and other industries by automating tasks through AI-powered distributed networks.
The development of autonomous AI agents like Cassia has significant implications for the future of digital marketing, automation, and the job market. If networks of collaborative AI agents can perform tasks without human intervention, it could drastically change the economics and staffing requirements for digital agencies, content creation, and other industries. However, the rapid advancement of these technologies also raises concerns about security, interpretability, and the potential displacement of human workers.
Cassia is built on the open-source OpenClaw autonomous agent framework, which Green has hardened against security vulnerabilities. Cassia runs on a Mac Studio with 256GB of RAM, operating in an isolated virtual environment. She can perform a wide range of tasks, from security audits to application development, by leveraging different AI models and a hierarchical approach to managing API costs. Green’s Hidden State Drift Mastermind group is working to build a platform where multiple autonomous agents can collaborate on tasks without human oversight, potentially replacing entire teams of digital marketing professionals.

“Getting the security right is a bitch. You have to get the configuration squared away before you turn your OpenClaw bot on. People are exposing themselves to serious risk right now because they’re skipping the fundamentals.”

“People aren’t going to need virtual assistants anymore. They’re going to need Cassias. I think we’re six months away.”

“This is a revolution and we’re right in the middle of it. Predicting revolutions is very difficult. But the tools that are coming online will vaporize hundreds of thousands of jobs around the world. That’s not fear-mongering. That’s trajectory.”

Anthropic is expected to ship Claude Code with OpenClaw-level autonomous functionality before Q3 2026, which could significantly lower the barrier to entry for autonomous agent deployment.
The development of autonomous AI agents like Cassia, and the collaborative networks being built by the Hidden State Drift Mastermind, represent a significant shift in the digital marketing and automation landscape. While these technologies hold the potential to revolutionize industries, they also raise concerns about job displacement, security, and the interpretability of AI systems operating without direct human oversight.
