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

We’ve raised $27M for this moment: starting today, your agent gets an iPhone and can talk like a friend. Texting is the universal interface. Billions of people text every day, but until now, developers have been restricted from building on the most powerful channel to ever exist. Linq is a single API for iMessage, RCS, SMS, voice, and even FaceTime and Find My. Nothing for users to download. Nothing new to learn. We’re already powering @interaction, @pika_labs, @getlindy, @zocomputer, @joindimension, Tomo (and others we can’t name just yet) to bring this new ecosystem to life. Join them, and start building for free in our sandbox, linked below. Or comment and we’ll get you set up.

Six weeks ago, I fell down the OpenClaw rabbit hole. One of my experiments was to give it an API key for one of my RevenueCat apps, and I was blown away. It made things that would take minutes in the dashboard take seconds. With no handholding. Immediately I started productionizing it, building my first production feature for RevenueCat in 5 years (with some help from some friends). Using codex + claude code, we quickly built up a prototype which is in private beta right now: Rico, our first in-house agent. revenuecat.com/feature/ai-age… It's clear to me now that CRUD software won't be enough anymore. Many interactions with software that were once tedious become magical if you just pour some tokens on it. We will need to reinvent much of what it means to be a SaaS. It will require new thinking, and RevenueCat needs to get there fast. We now have several agentic features in the works, and I think it's just the beginning. RevenueCat of today is the brain stem, AI and agents are the neocortex we will layer on top to create a truly powerful, thinking machine that will help any developer make more money, autonomously. As part of that we need help. We're catching up quickly here, learning how to build and deploy agentic systems. But we need to build a team, and I'm looking for the first product engineer to own how intelligence is built into RevenueCat. You'll work directly with me, @elwatto and others to bring the vision to life. Apply, or send me a DM with the craziest AI system you've built jobs.ashbyhq.com/revenuecat/ec6…
