Read my latest post on the O'Reilly blog on what OpenClaw reveals about the next phase of #AI agents. Have you played around with OpenClaw? If so, I'd love to hear about your experience in the comments below. https://lnkd.in/eM5UKNZ8
I think what I love about it is that it knows you in a way that ChatGPT and other chatbots can't. It keeps a file on you and on itself, it builds skills and uses APIs, the lack of MCP usage is notable. It feels like a personal assistant. Every time I do something new with ChatGPT, I have to retrain it. I use My bot Otis quite differently. I Keep my programming tasks separate on Cursor, so it doesn't really help me with that. I gave it access to my Obsidian, notes, reminders. So I can ask it to look up a recipe, add it to a sub-folders on my apple notes and then to my grocery list. For writing, I have it do research, draft a newsletter post, then convert it to a Linkedin post, then maybe a twitter thread. I have it access to my post stats and it keeps a rubric on what works. I've never gotten anything else to learn so quickly my style: Nerdy, 80's references, quips every now and then. Sure, I still edit what it gives me, but it's like 90% there. An it knows to take an article, them give me 20 prompts I can add to Midjourney, package up the image and post drafts to wordpress with the images illustrating the articles in my blog. It knows to not just write, but also find relevant links and facts. It's a different beast.
