ANN ARBOR — A new wave of artificial intelligence is moving beyond chatbots—and it’s already reshaping entire industries.
It’s called agentic AI: systems that don’t just respond to prompts, but plan, act, and execute complex tasks on their own.
Think less ChatGPT… and more autonomous digital workers.
That’s exactly how self-described “domain junkie” David Crabill is using it.
Crabill has deployed an AI agent—originally built on a system called “Open Claw”—to build, populate, and manage 17 hemp-focused websites across the country, supporting industry associations in real time.
But this isn’t just a tech story—it’s a race against the clock.
Across all those sites sits a countdown timer tied to a looming November deadline, buried deep inside the latest renewal of the United States Farm Bill—a provision Crabill says could devastate the hemp industry overnight.
Now, a multi-billion-dollar sector is scrambling to respond.
And instead of hiring teams of developers, marketers, and analysts…
Crabill is using agentic AI as a force multiplier.
In this interview, he explains how these AI agents:
- Act proactively instead of waiting for instructions
- Use tools, data, and feedback loops to improve outcomes
- Execute multi-step strategies with minimal human oversight
- Rapidly deploy content and infrastructure at scale
This isn’t theoretical.
It’s happening now—and it raises a bigger question:
If one operator can deploy AI agents to build 17 sites… what happens when entire industries adopt this model?
