Best growth strategy in 2026. Show the market Claude code workflows they can understand. Use Codex for production work they never see. One wins attention, while the other actually gets things done.

I've not used Claude Code in a month now. Considering just cancelling it. Codex all the way! (for now)

@Jason I’m in

We started an AI founder twitter group... reply with "I'm in" if you're a founder and want to be added

@MatthewBerman Get on Hermes!

I have to say something...please don't be mad. OpenClaw has been nearly unusable for the past week. Something changed and now everything is broken. Looking forward to testing Personal Computer.

@claudeai its good!

Introducing Claude Opus 4.7, our most capable Opus model yet. It handles long-running tasks with more rigor, follows instructions more precisely, and verifies its own outputs before reporting back. You can hand off your hardest work with less supervision.

MQL volume is a lagging metric. A better one for AI outbound: Proactive Intervention Rate. How often did your team act before the buyer filled out a form? That is where signal-based GTM starts feeling like an operating system instead of a dashboard.

I’ve written 24 articles, 26,020 words, and 215 links into my Obsidian vault for Hermes and OpenClaw. Here’s the process I’m following: → Hermes and OpenClaw monitor signals (i.e topics gaining steam) across X, LinkedIn, Instagram and the rest through Trigify.io → Once Hermes idendities something it uses Trigify to then take that topic and monitor across longer form content i.e Substack, YouTube and podcasts to go deeper on the understanding layer → The useful context gets written into Obsidian → The agents use that memory for content, outbound, strategy and positioning

AI agents for business ops are creating a new management problem. Everyone asks what the agent can do. Almost nobody asks: → what it touched → what it changed → who approved it Automation without visibility is just a slower outage.

@jcarlossoto @openclaw @NousResearch I never looked back its honestly way better.

I've always been a firm believer in @openclaw . And I still am. But, honestly, I spend 2-3 hours a day repairing it, and I've been using Hermes by @NousResearch since last Friday without it breaking down even once. So I'm going to gradually migrate my team to Hermes. Operational tasks need to run automatically, cron jobs too; I need more reliability to scale my business and projects. I think OpenClaw is still better in some integrations and other areas, and I plan to maintain some of my main agents under it for now, but running a 14+ agent squad under OpenClaw is becoming unsustainable. I need my time back and to increase my productivity. I need every hour I can have.

Step 3: Auto-lookup the user and send a personalised DM. The agent drafts the message based on what they actually posted. Not a template. Not a mail merge. A contextual message that references their specific post. Three steps. That's it. The results have genuinely surprised me. It's outperforming LinkedIn automation systems my team have tested for months.

Step 2: Built a workflow with an AI agent node that asks one question: "Is this post talking about using Claude Code for marketing/GTM, and is it positive?" Yes = move forward. No = ignore. That's the entire filter.

We've generated over $50k in closed revenue in the last 3 weeks. I decided to ditch LinkedIn for traditional outbound. Why? - Long form content is rising fast - Organic reach beats LinkedIn right now - Buyers here are more engaged and more educated B2B teams are sleeping on this. That's the opportunity. Here's how I did it ↓

@MatthewBerman Probs why their status page is pure red all the time.

Anthropic's shipping speed is a meme at this point. This is just mean to other teams now...

@yazins still the same

@max_trigify that was an earlier screw up from yours truly... mind checking 1.12.4?

it's kind of freaky waking up to releases going out, and PRs being merged while i'm literally asleep.. `awaiting-human` items review is *so* easy -- it's liek a multiple-choice quiz now down to 2 issues / 0 open PRs! runs every hour on it's own via Claude Desktop scheduled tasks BONUS: all architecture + complex code changes are reviewed by Codex GPT5.4 xhigh before proceeding test-suite incoming

Full interactive report + Substack breakdown coming shortly. Built with Trigify.io social listening. Sample of 392 posts, not the full universe, but the patterns are clear. What's your take, is OpenClaw production-ready or still in impressive demo territory?

LinkedIn vs X are completely different conversations. LinkedIn posts are 6.6x longer, get 5x more engagement per post. That's where the real debate happens. X is news distribution. Quick takes, retweets, move on.

I ran social listening on OpenClaw using Trigify. 392 posts. 373 unique voices. LinkedIn + X. Here's what the data actually says:
