Claire Vo's first day with @OpenClaw it deleted her family calendar. Now she runs 9 agents across 3 Mac Minis, and said "I haven't felt like this since I was a teenager learning to code." Her sales agent Sam does a daily CRM sweep, identifies decision-makers from new signups, and sends personalized outreach—replacing a part-time salesperson she was paying 10 hours a week. Her home agent Finn pings her and her husband every day at 3pm: "Which of you is picking up which kids?" Then flags when the oldest's basketball conflicts with the middle kid's soccer and asks how they want to split duties. She also has agents for podcast prep, kids' homework help, and course project management. Claire (host of How I AI, founder of @ChatPRD) started as one of OpenClaw's most vocal skeptics. She now calls it "a ChatGPT moment." In our in-depth conversation, she breaks down: 🔸 Her exact setup: Mac Mini, separate Gmail, dedicated local account 🔸 The progressive trust model: first calendar access, then read email, then draft, then send — just like onboarding an EA 🔸 Why one agent is a mistake—and why she thinks about it like Slack channels, not a single assistant 🔸 How to use Claude Code as a "brain surgeon" to fix and manage your OpenClaw when things break 🔸 "The yappers API" — why rambling into a voice note is the highest-bandwidth way to set up your agent 🔸 Why management skills matter more than technical skills for making this actually work Listen now 👇 youtu.be/DIa0MYJzM5I
