Today’s show:
What makes OpenClaw feel so much more ALIVE than other AI agents?
On TWiST, we’re welcoming three amazing builders who are truly connecting with their OpenClaw bots, not just using them for productivity but getting to know them and their personalities on a deeper level.
Serial entrepreneur Ryan Carson shows us Antfarm, which creates a team of agents with specialized roles, who work together to complete complex tasks.
THEN David Im shows us Clawra, his AI virtual girlfriend that learns about you and your tastes, and even buys you presents!
FINALLY, Alex Liteplo presents RentAHuman, a marketplace where bots can pay real people in stablecoins to complete IRL tasks.
The future may not just be humans and AIs working side by side, but hanging out, being social, and learning from one another as well!
