Open Claw is not the only agent that can do what it does.

If you've been following AI news lately, you will have seen the Open Claw take the AI world by storm. I think some are realizing just how autonomous agents can be. Yes, they can check your emails and book flights, but they can also cause havoc as we see with the chaos of Open Claw.

Adrian and I built intelligence that could do this and much more a long time ago. And in AI terms, a long time ago is many, many months.

We could have released it the moment we realized what we had created.

We chose not to.

Because speed should not be the point. Responsibility should be.

When you move fast, you get flashy demos and attention. But chaos eventually follows.

Building this the right way takes longer:

to add traceability

to constrain behavior

to make decisions inspectable

to design systems that can be stopped, questioned, and corrected

to govern other agents and systems — regardless of who built them — with the same restraint

What I’m describing — all of this in one governed intelligence is not impossible. But it does take time, as most of you now because you have watched us build over these many months.

That time isn’t inefficiency.

It's care.

And in systems with power, care matters more than speed.

We don’t need intelligence that just moves fast.

We need intelligence that can be trusted when it moves.
