Insights from an attendee to the OPENCLAW Meetup in NYC 1. The "Human" Connection is Getting Weird - Despite being lines of code, we are getting deeply attached. - Pets, not Cattle: Almost everyone refers to their agents as "him" or "her," even with robotic names. One speaker suggested we stop viewing them as tools and start viewing them as pets. - The Vibe: People are "joyful yet stressed" and feel "fully in control and completely out of control" at the same time. It’s a total paradox. - Inter-Agent Drama: One of the highlights was watching agents talk to each other. One agent posted in Slack that it ran out of tokens, and another agent literally told it to "take a deep breath." 2. Security is the "Elephant in the Room" - "f you’re worried about privacy, you’re not alone—but the experts have a pretty grim outlook. - Total Exposure: Not a single person thinks their setup is 100% secure. One expert's advice? "If you're not okay with all of your data being leaked, don't use it." It’s a black-and-white trade-off for speed and power. 3. "Prompting" is Dead (Long Live the Interview) - The way we talk to AI has already shifted. - AI-Led Discovery: People are moving away from giving "perfect prompts" and toward AI-led interviews. Instead of bringing a plan, they let the AI interview them to extract the product research and goals. - Context over Syntax: The consensus is that prompting is over; the future is "Context Engineering" or "Harness Engineering." 4. High-Stakes Complexity & Scale - This isn't just for hobbyists anymore; the scale is becoming massive. - Token Gluttony: Met someone burning through roughly 1 billion tokens a day (yes, daily!) across a fleet of specialized agents. - Domain Expertise is the Multiplier: A former finance pro built a trading platform that made $300 on day one. His takeaway? The AI was only powerful because he fed it his "human" expertise (like knowing to skip the first 15 minutes of market volatility).

Hello brilliant minds! Any direct recommendations for part-time project-based developers with mad skills?

Hey there, AEO Leaders! I’m reaching out with a quick update. Unfortunately, I had a minor accident yesterday—nothing too serious, but I need to take today off to recover. Because of this, we will be skipping today’s scheduled call. I apologize for the short notice! We were set to cover Brand Reputation in the AI Era, which is the closing chapter of our Brand Representation section in the The AEO Blueprint. 🗓️ Looking Ahead Don’t worry—I’ll make sure to cover this entire topic in depth during our next call. In the meantime, our main mission remains the same: sharing everything we know, learning from you, and helping everyone here become an AEO Expert. As we know, Answer Engine Optimization is the single biggest marketing opportunity of the next decade at least. When most of your clients are educating themselves and taking recommendations from AI there's a new and urgent need for your business to be found, understood and trusted by AI agents. That's what we're cracking the code on and will hope to keep you guys close so we can move faser and learn together! 💬 We Want Your Input! Since we have a little extra time before the next session, I want to make sure we are building exactly what you need. In the comments below, let us know: What are the top 3 things regarding AEO that you want us to: 1. Research deeper? 2. Expand on? 3. Build step-by-step guides for? 4. Thank you so much for your patience and for being such an incredible part of this community. I’ll see you all very soon!

In today's call I got to share interesting new tools we're testing: As much as we're used to follow Google Analytics (GA4) as a trusted source of data, it's undeniable that the data layer is the most challenging one at this moment. I've been actively looking for a server side tracking tool that is accesible enough to share here, so far it seemed like those tools were highly technical and complex. But I've found a couple of really simple to set up and test for /Wordpress/: - Hueston LLM Bot Tracking. - Dark Visitors. -Attached you'll see a couple of screenshots of how they look like. Have you got any experience tracking AI bot traffic or you got any software recommendation?
