🦞 OpenClaw: The AI Employee Everyone’s Talking About
Remember ClawdBot (now OpenClaw) that went viral last week? If you haven't heard about it yet, you're missing out on what might be the most interesting AI assistant so far this year. 👀 I just watched Peter Yang's interview with OpenClaw's creator, and it's wild what this thing can do. Picture this: the creator was on vacation in Morocco when someone tweeted about a bug in his code. He simply sent a photo of the tweet via WhatsApp to his AI assistant. Without any hand-holding, it read the tweet, understood the bug, checked out the Git repo, fixed the code, committed the changes, and replied to the person on Twitter. What makes this fascinating isn't just what it can do, but how it thinks. The AI found ways to handle tasks it wasn't explicitly programmed for. When sent an unexpected voice message, it figured out how to convert the audio, transcribe it, and respond... all by discovering and using tools already on the computer. Three things that stood out to me: It's not just a coding assistant. It can control smart home devices, track food delivery, and even adjust bed temperature It acts like "unshackled ChatGPT" with full access to your computer's capabilities The creator believes this could replace up to 80% of the apps on your phone While there are obvious security considerations to work through, this feels like an early glimpse of how we'll all interact with computers in the future. It's less about specific commands and more about having a capable digital assistant that figures out the "how" on its own.
