Cam Trew reposted thisCam Trew reposted thisI BLEW up my boyfriend's content. (+1M impressions, +2K followers / EVERY MONTH) He had a great start. Growing fast. Solid numbers. But there was something that I noticed... He's been coding since he was 13. He's a deep AI expert with years of technical knowledge most people don't have. That kind of expertise is rare. His content didn't show that. He was burying it. So I told him: Stop writing what you think the algorithm wants. Start writing about topics you actually want to. That’s when you’ll find real Content Market Fit. Then we got to work. 1. Nailed his ICP • Founders who want to stay on top of AI 2. Built his content buckets • Growth: newsjacking AI trends • Authority: building Kleo • Conversion: newsletter CTAs • Personal: quitting his job to build with his best friends 3. The results • LinkedIn: 1m impressions / 2k new followers a month • YouTube: 1k views, 100 subs in his first 4 days • Newsletter: 1k subscribers and growing Other wins include an Indie Hackers interview and 2 podcast appearances. If there's one thing I want you to take away from this post... Write about the things you love. You might be surprised how well it performs. If you’ve seen anything about OpenClaw lol, you’ve probably seen him. If not and you want to keep up with the craziness of AI... Check this lovely man out: Cam Trew PS: What's your biggest struggle with content right now?

Cam Trew shared thisYou see Claude dropping new features every week. But you can't keep up. Let me help: 1. Chat - Claude's core interface, you've probably used this one - Open Claude → Type your task → Hit send - "Write a cold email that converts" 2. Projects - A workspace that keeps Claude on one topic - Create a project → Upload files → Start chatting - One project per client, one per topic 3. Memory - Claude remembers things across all your chats - Settings → Capabilities → Memory - It recalls your job title so you never repeat yourself 4. Skills - Saved instructions Claude follows every time - Customise → Skills → Create or enable a skill - Create your weekly report the same way every time 5. Connectors - Claude plugs into your existing tools - Settings → Connectors → Add your tool - Claude reads your Notion and replies in Slack 6. Cowork - An AI agent that works your computer alone - Download desktop app → Open Cowork → Type task - "Research my competitors and write a summary" 7. Plugins - Pre-built workflows others made for specific roles - Open Cowork → Customize → Browse and install - Install Legal and Claude can review your contracts 8. Dispatch - Control your computer from your phone - Open Claude mobile → Dispatch tab → Connect - "Draft my proposal" sent from your phone 9. Code - Claude writes, fixes and ships code for you - Install Claude Code → Open terminal → Type claude - "Build me a landing page" 10. Code Channels - Message your Claude Code agent from your phone - Claude Code → Channel plugin → Connect Telegram - "Fix the X bug" sent from your phone Most people aren't using Claude to its potential. Which Claude features are you actually using? PS: I break down AI tools every week in my newsletter https://camerontrew.com

Cam Trew shared thisGoogle just changed the AI agent race forever. (The OpenClaw vs Claude debate is OVER) OpenClaw is an AI agent that works as your 24/7 assistant, and it's taken over the internet. But it feels like every day, Anthropic drops something new to keep up. And the features they're shipping are great... But OpenClaw lets you do something Claude's products never will. Run a fully private AI agent on your own machine. Your computer runs the AI. OpenClaw uses it. No cloud needed. And that means: - No bills from OpenAI or Anthropic - Data never leaves your device - No one else is in control But the AI model running on your machine is limited by your hardware. And most machines can't run an AI model that can do real work. Until last week, when Google shipped TurboQuant. Here's what you need to know: 1. What TurboQuant is 2. How TurboQuant works 3. What this means for OpenClaw Let me break it down: 1. What TurboQuant is - Google's new AI compression tool - Up to 8x faster. Same model. Zero accuracy lost - Cuts the memory an AI model needs by up to 6x 2. How TurboQuant works - AI models build a "notepad" of data as they work - TurboQuant rewrites it using fewer characters - Same result, 6x less space 3. What this means for OpenClaw - Now many computers can run a capable AI model - Private, fast, and completely under your control - People are already using it This is only the start. As compression gets better and AI models run on smaller machines, the cost of running AI drops to near zero. And in a world where AI privacy is becoming a real concern, AI running on your own machine isn't just cheaper. It's the direction everything is heading. Do you trust AI companies with your data?

Cam Trew shared thisReleasing my first YouTube video was SCARY. (But at least it's about my favourite thing) OpenClaw is a free AI agent that works directly on your computer and completes tasks on its own. And the world has gone crazy for it... But it wasn't built by: - Google - Microsoft - Billion-dollar startup It was built by one man who changed the AI landscape forever. His name is Peter Steinberger. And I just dropped a full breakdown on YouTube: 1. The full story 2. How it works 3. Whether you should care No technical knowledge needed.

Cam Trew shared this2024: Being a computer nerd ISN'T cool 2026: Being a computer nerd IS cool Over the last two years, I've seen a huge shift happen. And I think I know why. I've been coding since I was 13. For 15 years, the moment I mentioned anything technical, eyes glazed over. They just didn't care. But it wasn't because they were being rude... It was just so far outside their world that they couldn't relate. And here's where it changed. AI went mainstream. It became part of everybody's life. Everybody is trying to use it. So they: - Hit walls that only nerds can break - Had problems that only nerds can solve - Had questions that only nerds can answer They're watching what nerds can do and wishing they could do the same. Now they can finally relate. The value was always there. The world just took a while to see it. And now that it has, there's never been a better time to be a nerd. PS: Did you notice this change too?

Cam Trew shared thisOpenAI is in SERIOUS trouble. (And they may not come back from this) OpenAI just shut down Sora (their video AI) and lost a $1B Disney deal in the process. They are taking loss after loss right now. Meanwhile, Anthropic keeps winning. Here's why: 1. Anthropic is dropping features non-stop 2. Claude is simply the better product 3. One clear direction Let me break it down: 1. Anthropic is dropping features non-stop - Claude can control your computer on its own - A marketplace to add new abilities in seconds - You can assign and schedule tasks from your phone 2. Claude is simply the better product - Claude Opus 4.6 is the top-ranked AI model right now - Claude Code is the best coding assistant available - Claude handles 8x more context than ChatGPT 3. One clear direction - OpenAI keeps cancelling products and losing focus - Anthropic has shipped consistently without drama - One product, one lane, one goal I moved away from ChatGPT months ago. Every week, I see more people doing the same. And the market has noticed. Polymarket has Anthropic at 59% vs OpenAI at 11% to have the best AI model by June. It must be very stressful in the OpenAI boardroom... PS: Are you still using ChatGPT, or have you made the switch?

Cam Trew shared thisThis ONE thing will change everything. (And most people don't understand it) Everybody is talking about AGI. Nobody is explaining what it is. So I will... Here's what you need to know: 1. What AGI actually is 2. How close we are to achieving it 3. What changes if we get there Let me break it down: 1. What AGI actually is AGI stands for Artificial General Intelligence. The goal is simple. Make AI think like a human brain. Today's AI is great at the things we trained it to do. AGI goes further. Once achieved, it could encounter a problem it has never seen, figure it out, and apply what it learned to entirely different problems. 2. How close are we to achieving it The leading AGI test was designed to measure true general intelligence. The best AI models have gone from barely scoring to approaching human level in under two years. There's no single finish line, but when AI can reason through anything a human can, without being trained for it first, that's when we know AGI is reached. 3. What changes when we get there Human intelligence has always been the ceiling for how fast the world can progress. AGI would push that ceiling higher than anything we've seen before. Every major problem the world hasn't been able to crack yet suddenly has a shot at being solved. Many experts believe we're closer than most people think. We could genuinely live in a world where businesses are structured: - CEO: Mac Mini - CTO: Mac Mini - CMO: Mac Mini We're not there yet, and that's a good thing. You still have time to get ahead.

Cam Trew shared thisThis man built the most FAMOUS AI agent on earth. (And most people don't know who he is) OpenClaw is an AI agent with full access to your computer that completes tasks entirely on its own. It's the fastest-growing AI project in history, and one man built it alone from his laptop. His name is Peter Steinberger. Most people know the product. Almost nobody knows the person: 1. Personal life 2. Professional life 3. Building OpenClaw Let me break it down: 1. Personal life Born and raised in rural Austria, he got obsessed with computers at age 14. He studied software engineering at Vienna University of Technology and never really stopped tinkering from that point on. 2. Professional life Started as a freelance iPhone app developer before accidentally building PSPDFKit in 2010. It's now used by Dropbox on over a billion devices. He turned down San Francisco and never looked back. 13 years, $12M a year in revenue, $116M raised, then he stepped away. 3. Building OpenClaw He started building and had a working version in a weekend. No team, no funding, just him and his laptop. A few weeks of building alone, and it was ready to share. It had 2 million visitors in the first week. Three months later, Sam Altman called him a genius and offered him a role at OpenAI. And now NVIDIA has built their own platform on top of OpenClaw. One man. One laptop. No team. No funding. I don't think we've heard the last of him... If you want to stay up to date with AI, subscribe to my newsletter: https://camerontrew.com

Cam Trew shared thisEverybody is IGNORING this with OpenClaw vs Claude. (And I honestly find it hilarious) OpenClaw is a free project built by 1 person that gives an AI agent full access to your computer. Anthropic is a ~$500B company backed by Google and Amazon. And this year, Anthropic has been copying OpenClaw without any shame. Here's exactly what they copied: 1. A desktop AI agent 2. A plugins marketplace 3. Control from your phone Let me break it down: 1. A desktop AI agent - Claude dropped Cowork: 12/01/2026 - AI that controls your computer and gets things done - OpenClaw already had this 2. A plugins marketplace - Claude dropped a plugins marketplace: 24/02/2026 - Add new abilities to your AI agent in seconds - OpenClaw already had this 3. Control from your phone - Claude dropped Dispatch: 17/03/2026 - Start tasks on your computer from your phone - OpenClaw already had this A 1 person project built in a weekend has changed the direction of a ~$500B company. Let that sink in... You have so much more power as an individual than you think. PS: Subscribe to my newsletter to stay ahead of AI https://camerontrew.com

Carlos López Exactly! Features mean nothing if they’re not actually used to produce results.

Cam Trew reacted on thisCam Trew reacted on thisThere's no feeling like sitting back and watching 41 AI agents do work for you. Unless you've experienced it, I can't explain it. It literally feels like living in the future. Right now on my screen: 1 orchestrator running the show 5 agent swarms in parallel Each swarm managing 6-8 sub-agents (34 total) 1 wrangler coordinating in the background 88 tool calls. 566,000 tokens. All at the same time. And this is just Phase 1. A year ago I was writing prompts one at a time into ChatGPT. Now I'm watching 41 agents restructure my entire AI operating system while I sit here and type this post. What's the most agents you've had running at once?

Cam Trew reacted on thisCam Trew reacted on thisMost people are watching AI. A smaller group is actually using it. And an even smaller group is building with it. Right now, you don’t need to be technical to build something useful. You just need to be curious enough to try. Instead of just prompting and moving on, start asking: “What could I actually create with this?” You can build things today that would’ve Taken weeks or thousands of dollars not long ago. Simple examples: - A personal dashboard for your work or goals - A tool that fixes a problem your industry faces - A lightweight CRM tailored to how you operate - A repeatable workflow that removes a daily task - A presentation you review instead of build from scratch None of this has to be perfect. It just has to be useful. So instead of just consuming what others are building… Throw your hat in the ring. It's the easiest way to learn these skills. Experiment. Build small. See what happens.
