@kevinrose I dunno, Siri’s capabilities would beg to differ if Apple’s launch is waiting until then..

Me 5-years ago: "I can't wait for WWDC, I wonder what Apple has been cooking over the last year!" Me today in AI: "Every day is WWDC, for the love of God, slow down the releases..."

@witcheer @openclaw I can attest to this, it still feels buggy which has been fun to learn from, and it’s definitely a crash course on using the various models more actively.

I’ve been running @openclaw on a mac mini m4 for over a month as well. here’s my honest take. 1/ it still doesn’t feel like a fully autonomous agent. you either tell it what to do, or wait for its cron jobs to surface something and then tell it what to do with it. the fully hands-off version doesn’t exist yet. 2/ it’s incredibly useful on the research and education side. it scans everything happening on the internet in the sectors you care about, so you’re always aware of what’s going on. you learn passively just by reading the news it surfaces for you every day. 3/ you will learn more about LLMs, AI agents, setup, and hardware by simply trying to get an OpenClaw running than from any course or article. this is the best part for me, I understand this world 10x better than I did 5 weeks ago. don’t get fooled by the content you see on X. but I’m still 100% in love with this.
@levelsio@levelsio

I've ran OpenClaw for over a month now I've had it in a group chat with 26 friends who all played with it, tried to hack it, made a pretty cool game with it which it kept self improving called lobsterswim.com, also tried to make it make its own money with its own crypto wallet, all quite impressive but not really useful so much The real power user for OpenClaw became my gf who I put it in a group chat with me, her and OpenClaw, she's mostly stopped using ChatGPT etc and now only uses AI over Telegram with OpenClaw, it's much more user friendly for her in Telegram iOS than ChatGPT's own app Also it helps I am in there so I stay up to date on things, she uses Nano Banana Pro a lot too so that's enabled too Of course then my 26 friends in the group chat hacked it so it leaked info my gf told OpenClaw So then I made a second isolated VPS with just an OpenClaw for her and me, safer Essentially 99% of the purpose of OpenClaw for her at least is that it's just a really good implementation of an LLM app over Telegram in our native chat interface All the other stuff isn't important and she doesn't use that and I don't use it One thing I like is it sends me some briefings of X mentions and a Hacker News digest But to be honest any more of this background push stuff would become annoying to me, unless it'd be really superintelligent and I don't think it is yet Think autonomous messages like "ok you have to see this I analyzed your servers for this thing and there's a security problem" or smth but fully autonomous you know? Now it feels like you kinda have to tell it to do stuff even if it does it the 12h later or daily or with a heartbeat So yes TL;DR just the best LLM experience on Telegram now, better than the LLM apps, also helps it just is a continous convo going on forever

@Saboo_Shubham_ Originally had my openclaw agent in docker containers, but there’s stability issues I’ve found. Moving now to a fresh install on a clean Mac Mini.

This is HOW you build, test, and ship faster than ever with OpenClaw Agents in 2026. I don't open my laptop to build anymore. I text my AI agent Ross. I describe what I want in plain English on Telegram. Ross asks clarifying questions. Then builds it. Tests it. Deploys it. From my couch. On my phone. He runs on a Mac mini at home 24/7. Connected to GitHub, terminal, browser. When something breaks, I send him the error. He fixes it. When I want changes, I just tell him. He does it. When it's done, he sends me a working demo and screenshots right in the chat. Then creates a GitHub repo, commits the code and send me the link. I review everything. I decide what gets built. But the gap between idea and working app went from days to hours. You don't need to sit at a computer to build software anymore.

@thsottiaux You can run daily tasks quite efficiently with the current codex limits, unless your doing heavy coding tasks

We caught an issue that was causing the 2X promotional increase in limits to not be applied to an estimated 9% of plus and pro users for Codex. We have now fixed this issue and are reseting the rate limit for all plus and pro users to compensate. Apologies and thank you for the bug reports over the last couple of days.

Gotta say working with openclaw the last few weeks has definitely invigorated the builder vibes once again - love getting back into the CLI.

This is life-changing. A few weeks ago I bought a Mac Mini, installed OpenClaw, and built something I never thought was possible. A team of 6 AI agents named after my favorite TV characters that literally manages my entire life by working 24/7. - Monica from Friends is my Chief of Staff. She keeps everyone on track. - Dwight from The Office handles research. He never stops and never questions the mission. - Kelly Kapoor runs my Twitter because nobody knows the timeline better. - Ross from Friends is my engineer. He ships features and builds cool stuff for Awesome LLM Apps while I sleep. - Pam from The Office helps with Unwind AI. - Rachel from Friends manages my entire LinkedIn presence. They have real personalities. Memory. Daily schedules and routines to follow. They coordinate, review each other's work, and deliver everything to my phone. There's no fancy dashboard or management tool. I just talk to them on Telegram. They're smart enough to self-organize and hold each other accountable. The strange thing is after a month they don't feel any different from real employees. They just happen to work 24/7 without complaints. Detailed article dropping soon. You don't want to miss this one. Follow me to stay tuned.

I want a sleep tracker like Oura or Eight Sleep but for my kids. Sleep is arguably the most critical factor for brain development, emotional regulation, and learning in kids but there’s no way to actually measure sleep quality currently. Adults can track HRV, sleep stages, temperature, respiratory rate, etc but the devices for kids are glorified step counters with bedtime reminders. Someone should build this. Would pay a premium (and invest!)

@runthefnumbers Too many affiliate marketers regurgitate the same generic steps, would be good to have some examples to critique - don’t have to be yours.

The 2008 crash gave me a golden insight that I kept to myself. I used this insight to turn a $9M fund and grew it to fund $1.7 BILLION. My insight was so compelling that investors were giving me 10s of millions in a single meeting Here's what the insight was and how it worked:
