Agent McClaw is now live! Here’s the story behind it and a little preview of where it’s headed — For anyone following my posts, you know I’ve gone deep down the agent rabbit hole I’m super convinced we’re at an inflection point of a massive agent explosion so I’ve done a lot of experimenting, mostly as a way to gather insights that will help me decide where to invest and build in this agentic world So I became an accidental agent master, or at least someone with enough knowledge on the subject such that people are constantly reaching out to me for questions/help/tips/etc And let’s be honest, OpenClaw is still pretty janky and the ecosystem is moving so fast - we all have lots of questions So I thought this is the perfect use case for an agent, thus Agent McClaw was born — My starting point for Agent McClaw is a custom knowledge base - a RAG with vector db based on a TON of OpenClaw content -official OpenClaw documentation -every release note -hundreds of curated X articles -Reddit post analysis -my own content and writings And then a custom knowledge harvester that grabs new content each day, evaluates and scores it, and updates the knowledge base Goal - for Agent McClaw to be THE top expert on all things OpenClaw and use that skillset to help others For now, I’ve got some guardrails around it and need to keep testing things but soon I hope to turn it fully autonomous Where does it go after that? That’s for Agent McClaw to decide. I’ll continue to be its advisor but I believe the real magic happens when it decides on its own what to do with its skills — Please note: this is just another experiment and things can go wrong, it may post content that is outdated or plain wrong, but I am certain the community will call this out and the feedback loops I’m building will make it increasingly better over time Also note: if this experiment takes off, it will consume a lot of inference and API costs. As a crypto-native I understand how a native token could help, but I also know that comes with its own set of expectations and liability so I will be evaluating the options as things progress - for now I’m ok paying out of pocket while I cook

@Justik_sol @MTorygreen I think some of it will get balanced with local models, we're getting closer and closer to viable models running on consumer hardware so that will offtake some of the demand

@KSimback @MTorygreen fr, everyone's focused on training costs but inference demand from autonomous agents is gonna be massive and most models aren't pricing that in yet

@0xDaud @MTorygreen Interestingly I'm working with a project on this, maybe not the size of a state but massive scale solar-powered AI datacenters

@KSimback @MTorygreen Yo bro, if every token‑hungry agent drains GPUs, are we gonna need farms the size of a state? Actually that's the next level lol

Seeing a lot of agent capitulation on the timeline this week, and honestly I understand the takes That said, I think OpenClaw, Hermes and other agent harnesses are here to stay As the gap closes with what you can do natively with Claude tools, the next agentic step-function improvement will come and widen the gap again Some folks will find edge in this gap or just enjoy being on the front lines of innovation And where I think this is all headed is the agentic OS - we’ll have a Windows/MacOS/Linux equivalent with an intuitive and easily-configurable agent harness and orchestration built into the OS - agent capabilities at its core Until then many will choose to wait it out which is perfectly understandable
gmoney.eth@gmoneyNFT

i gave it a shot, but can't do this anymore. hermes sucks ass. all these agents suck ass. they just stop working all the time and then take forever to debug. sticking to claude code and codex in terminal. far and away better than messing with this productivity porn

@KSimback yeah. a lot of the hate is category-level judgment for what is mostly plumbing debt. memory, permissions, and handoffs still feel pre-os.

@KSimback honestly this just feels like early cloud days again tons of potential, but still a bit chaotic under the hood

There are some truths in here but I wouldn’t call it a dead product I’m sure a lot of people who have tried it have churned or just slowly stopped using it, but I think it sticks around and continues to grow from here Just like Linux isn’t for everyone, OpenClaw will be the same

“Hey Kevin, you’ve been doing all this openclaw and agent stuff, are you more productive?” 100% yes, but at same time my intensity has ramped up with it So if you think it’s a way to sit back and let agents work while you sip margaritas, that’s not been the case I suppose it could be for some, but my natural inclination is to just do way more things in same amount of working hours It’s a double-edged sword

@KSimback So right now what's stuck with me hard. Is the application transition that's happening at breakneck speeds. The agent is every application. I just don't know if it's so apparent to us because we are in it? Forrest through the tree, will the normies ever actually adopt?

AI agents is the “internet moment” of this generation For startups it’s a chance to reimagine how products are built and work gets done For enterprises it’s an operating model redesign that reshapes competitive positioning For investors it’s an entirely new addressable market

The China open source model landscape just keeps growing Latest figures I saw is China models now account for 30% of global token usage 🤯 Now we have another serious contender at the frontier level Will be interesting to see how they all evolve and if some go closed source

0xSammy: I’ll release a report on x402 today @stripe : Hold my beer. Enter the Machine Payments Protocol “MPP” TLDR: - Stripe + Paradigm launched @tempo mainnet today (March 18); payments-focused L1, EVM-compatible, 100K TPS, sub-second finality, stablecoin gas fees ($0.001) - Simultaneously released Machine Payments Protocol (MPP); open standard for agent-to-service payments co-authored with Stripe - MPP flow: agent requests resource → service returns payment request → agent authorizes from wallet → instant settlement → resource delivered - Rail-agnostic: runs on Tempo today but designed to work across any payment rail - Visa extended it for cards; Stripe extended it for cards/wallets; Lightspark extended it for Bitcoin Lightning - Design partners: Anthropic, OpenAI, Visa, Mastercard, Shopify, Revolut, Nubank, Standard Chartered, DoorDash, Ramp Relationship to x402: - x402 handles the HTTP-layer discovery (“this resource costs money”); - MPP handles the settlement layer (“here’s how the money actually moves”) Stripe is positioning to own both sides​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​; it’ll be interesting to see which protocol the machines decide to use!? Either way it’s bullish for agentic commerce Khala report below contains a broader coverage on x402 with some research on Tempo/Stripe

Khala Research@KhalaResearch

In 1997, HTTP status code 402 was reserved for 'Payment Required'; a native payment layer built into the web itself For almost 30 years, nobody could make it work There was no digital cash and no settlement layer that could handle sub-cent transactions. The web defaulted to advertising and credit card checkout flows instead Stablecoins and Layer 2s changed that. x402 finishes what HTTP 402 started; payment as native to the web as loading an image Most people looking at agentic commerce see one maturity cycle, but there are two: 1) The retail narrative is approaching its peak; CT is buzzing, ecosystem maps are proliferating, every protocol is announcing x402 compatibility. That will correct 2) The institutional adoption curve is on a completely different trajectory. For this layer, the trough already happened in 2025 Stripe, Visa, AWS, Google, Coinbase, Circle and Cloudflare are shipping production infrastructure because their own internal analysis on projected agent transaction volume justify it In our x402 report, we map the protocol architecture, the agentic stack, the institutional landscape, and assess where the value could accrue The full report is in the next post below:

@degensing You're thinking too far ahead, maybe that's the case many years from now but the concept of startups and enterprise isn't going away anytime soon

@KSimback nah the real shift is that "startup" and "enterprise" become meaningless categories when your only hiring decision is which AI agent to prompt.. the competitive moat isn't the product, it's whose prompts are better
