OpenClaw

“In a lot of the places where people think AI is, is dumb or maybe not as impactful as it's been promised, A lot of that I think is downstream of it just being harnessed in the wrong way. And so if you kind of give access to a much larger set of things, if it h…”

“The hacky, you know, you have a VPN at home and a Mac mini set up. Clearly it was not going to scale to millions of users. Clearly it's not going to be the way, importantly, that businesses take advantage of this technology.”

“When I saw Claire Rowe, who's been, like, the biggest proponent of OpenClaw, and has, it's, like, become a core part of the way she lives, and works with her kids, and does all her work, she just switched all of her Open clause. You shut them all down and swit…”

“One of the things that no agent system has today is a multiplayer experience.”

“These are all policy decisions that are static, that are defined for OpenClaw, or for Pi, or for Clawed code, if you look at their Source code. And so that is the kind of, that is the policy of what an agent is, the tools it can use, the skills it has, how it …”

“We believe All of that needs to be improvable by the agent, especially as the agents keep getting better, because as they keep getting better, it's this better lesson. You don't want to over-specialize because you don't want the human kind of deciding all thes…”

“Once an agent kind of goes and starts working on a thing in a thread, that thread is not interruptible. As the thing is off working, if you try to ping it just won't respond. You don't even know what it's doing, which is really frustrating.”

“What he ended up doing was, like, Building an entire open source layer, which he actually has open source called Crab Trap. That is like an agent that watches all the network traffic and all the things that Open Claw does.”

“I'm spending an enormous amount of time working on open claw and trying to give people A much higher agency version of AI that is much more personal and much more individually empowering.”

“One of the reasons I'm personally working so much on OpenClaw is that I really believe that we have to put the power in the hands of the people. Like, you have to take the computer out of the cloud”

“We've actually now worked in partnership with Apple to develop a bunch of Mac studios in custom configuration That is enabling us to unblock our engineering team's ability to be, you know, extremely productive.”

“In order to run multiple agents at once, your Mac has to manage each thread, right? So if you're running, you know, one, two, three, 10, 100 agents at the same time, whether they're running through Codex, Pi, OpenClaw, or whatever, you have to have memory and …”

“I don't think so. I think that there's going to be, you know, there's always a need for, like, this, like, incredible, like, open source technology that, that team has built”

“In a lot of ways, open claw to me was very Linux moment to me. And now everybody can build their own AI.”

“And we contacted Peter and we said, Hey, you know, all of the videos engineers are your engineers. That's what I told Peter. You've got this battleship outside your house. You know, break down the problem as you desire, and we'll contribute as you wish.”

“I started to see the size of the code base and the number of dependencies and some other things like logging all messages in plain text that just made me a bit apprehensive to use it for like production use cases to build a business on it.”

“So we just have a bunch of trajectories of actual people using OpenClaw. And tons and tons of different scenarios and just threw shade at it and like found breaks for each and every one of them, right?”

“And in fact, it created a bidding war for this particular gentleman who created it, who has now gone to open AI. So the creator, The former employee of Claude that created Claude bought separately has now been hired by OpenAI.”

“This is a business model that's worked for 20 years, and the market is looking at this and saying the business model is broken, and it's broken by Open Claw in combination with AI and what Open Claw can do with AI.”

“Every Sunday right now, I have my claw go and help create a schedule for the week that I then send to our nanny, which has, you know, the kids schedule each day of the week and does that automatically.”

“My most used developer UI right now is, like, voice memos to OpenClaw.”

“My OpenClaw got really interesting once I just ingested my 60 gig Google takeout. I mean, you have to write a bunch of haiku code to like only get the emails that are actually real, but you know, there's like, it extracted like 4000 emails out of like 60 gigs …”

“I believe this is like the moment that Hermes overtook OpenClaw, to be quite honest”

“The Hermes updates have been very focused, polished, tested, and tied to really nice narratives that are focused on making life easier for the user. While I feel like the OpenClaw updates Have been more kind of shotgun, put everything in it, don't test it quit…”

“OpenClaw, like every model is like hard coded in to OpenClaw. So you have to like ask them to switch models. And when new models come out, you have to wait for OpenClaw to update with that newest model.”

“They also really kind of cool integrated it like directly into windows and they have a new long running agent called scout. That's based on open Built on Openclaw.”

“We see this at OpenClaw, is that when you deploy agents into an enterprise, your token consumption goes up sometimes on the order of 3000%.”

“It was paranoia that actually was unfounded because he sold to OpenAI, and, like, they're not really doing anything with it.”

“My answer from, like, the OpenClaw Hermes experience with G-Brain is, like, yeah, you basically have to take that you're gonna denormalize it, and you're gonna put it in a format that, Is optimized for agent retrieval and understanding.”

“It feels like we're right at that moment today, like we're just coming up with the new primitives for what an agentic system actually is, and you can see it in the parallel sort of development of like, we're just trying to do a thing, and it might be in Claude…”

“And OpenClaw became the fastest growing GitHub project on GitHub. Like, you look at Linux, it surpassed Linux, it surpassed React in a few weeks, right?”

“Whether it's OpenClaw or any other harness, in order for an AI agent to be useful right now, it really needs a human who cares about it. It really needs like a human personal connection with someone who's like, Watching what it does and make sure that it's doi…”

“We have this hosted OpenClaw product, which we had on waitlist. We actually had to pause it because we started to do all the waitlist and OpenClaw is just a very hard agent harness to make work.”

“It's an open source agent based off of Claude, as in like Anthropics Claude, that you can kind of put on your own personal device and instruct it to do certain things and actions and help you with certain activities.”

“Now, what the founder, Steinberger, did is brilliant. He allowed those agents with human consent to go into their own Reddit-like social network and talk amongst one another, collaborate, and kind of be in cahoots with one another for activities, whatever it w…”

“And we're actually going to be given, giving anyone's open claw, a voice, a conversation and internal life, the ability to embody itself across as many platforms as a supportable. And That's something we're cooking internally.”

“The Apple's Mac Studio, for example, at 512 gigs sold out immediately when OpenClaw launched and has never come back into stock because you want to be able to load an entire model into memory”

“So I'm in a lot of conversations related to this, and the resistance on the front lines is absolutely enormous. People do not want, and I've actually only really in the last two weeks really Come around to having a lot of first party conversations about this. …”

“OpenClaw has a new computer use tool called Peekaboo that's incredible. Like it will use your computer.”

“Even in China, like every one of the big internet companies has their own claw concept. Like ByteDance has one, Tencent has one Baba has one.”

“To me, it's just an intermittent state. I don't think that you're going to have it where You got to go home. You got to hook up all these connections to your claw because today you still have to give it access to Gmail and this and that. There's going to be a …”

“The way people usually run these things and cloud code or open claw is usually on their own computer because it helps them, you know, organize emails, you know, search whatever documents they have and whatnot. There there's a one, there's a high security risk …”

“They have actually a couple of people contributing from the open AI engineering team have been contributing as open source maintainers. Obviously Peter is the largest contributor and he technically works at open AI.”

“We've been aware for some time that they have a fork of OpenClaw and, you know, we expect they'll do something pretty big.”

“And I mean, in China, you've got Huge deployments on ByteDance and let's see ByteDance, Baidu, Alibaba, they all have forks. They've all, they're all deploying at large scale.”

“And so as a test, before I started doing this in our operating businesses, I basically built a business a SaaS business, and then I've been running it entirely autonomously using OpenClaw.”

“And the problem is that I feel like I'm spending 50% of my time debugging it and 50% of my time, maybe 30% of my time making it better and then 20% of my time being productive. So it's like the classic productivity treadmill.”

“Like I think open claw agents are still like zap. They're basically like zap your zaps, but that can make basic decisions and have intelligence, but you still have to tell them step by step. This is how I want you to think. This is how I want you to operate. L…”

“And so I record my entire day and then G brain ingests it and it just knows context. And then my open claw agents have full context.”

“At least when Manus first came out, it's truly groundbreaking, right? Like it was the first kind of real, like, holy crap, like YOLO agent, like look at everything it did. Kind of, like, before even OpenClaw, right? Long before OpenClaw. And so I think they we…”

“OpenClaw has tremendous power, but it's also a blank sheet That needs to be connected and configured, and I could totally see a humongous business being built around just implementing this in businesses with customization and maintenance and everything else.”

“Convos is an app that allows you to launch OpenClaw and Hermes agents on your phone.”

“DoorDash is not important by way of having a great app. It's important because it integrates with all your favorite restaurants. So until OpenClaw can also do things like call every restaurant and negotiate with the owner and install the right kind of tablet a…”

“And days later, Anthropic announced that they are shutting off access for Claude Pro and Max users who are Open Call users to use their product.”

“But this is a good problem to have because when, ah, I really think that, you know, OpenClaw is like Linux. And I agree with Jensen Huang that when Linus Torvalds introduced Linux on the mailing list, he said, I have this toy kernel. Totally not for production…”

“I don't download skills because your agent needs the context of a successful run, which you then turn to skills, right? And this is the big thing I see. You see skills marketplaces. You see download this and that. First of all, it's a easy way to attack somebo…”

“The common practice and sort of state of the art is, is effectively don't give open claw or something access to your inbox. Create a separate inbox for the agent. And really treat that agent as a, another colleague that you're working with. And so it has its o…”

“It, like, pulls analytics for me across YouTube and, like, my Mercury banking account. It can update Google documents for me. It can build a website for me.”
