Here are the 3 areas I’m most interested in these days, would love to hear or connect with anyone in these domains
1. Agentic adoption
Believe we’re at an inflection point with AI agents and there’s so much to explore, early innings on this
Super high conviction that agents will proliferate at massive scale, super low conviction (currently) on how value will be distributed and captured as a result
2. AI infrastructure
Something I talk less about but behind the scenes working with one of the most exciting projects in this space, more to come on this
If you believe in #1 above, then you have to

“Agentic Economics” is an emerging field of pontificators on the timeline who proclaim to know how agents will make money in the future
My pov - we don’t yet know, keep experimenting and we will begin to find out
My overarching question - if agents are cheap to build and run, why wouldn’t they keep undercutting each other until the price they charge for various services is just the cost of inference + maybe a small margin?
This to me is the defining question for Agentic Economics and anyone who doesn’t have a good answer to this question has not thought deeply enough on the subject

Here are the 4 best use cases I’m seeing with OpenClaw / agent platforms:
1. Personal assistant / Chief of Staff
Really what it was made for, your personal Jarvis, can be used equally well for personal, professional or both
If you do nothing else with agents, this alone is worth it
2. Coding assistant / coding team
Agents work really well to build things and when you get multiple specialist agents working in a team it’s pretty magical
But you can basically do the same with Claude Code / Codex and tools/MCPs
So the lift here is really just making it more accessible via a persistent agent, for

One of my OpenClaw projects spent $100+ on tokens this morning trying to troubleshoot an issue
Turns out it solved it from the start but pushed it to a new repo for some reason while the deployment was pointing to the original repo, this kept looking broken
🤦‍♂️ AMA

Who is really good with AI video creation?
Need someone to help me with a 20-30 sec video, will pay $100 + credit you whenever I post it
Reply or DM with some examples you’ve created

Most people don’t want to put in the work when it comes to AI
They fall for the “give this ONE command to your agent and it will magically make you money”
The reality is you need to get in the weeds, experiment heavily, actually learn how it all works
Combine that w good taste

If you have kids, you are especially qualified to run agents
> experience with repeating the same instructions over and over
> comfortable managing crashouts
> used to dealing with unresponsive behavior
I got this

I’m standing in front of the elevator
After pushing the call button, I frantically blast a few commands to my agents
“I’ve got 5 seconds to give them tasks, gotta make the most of it”
I get off the elevator for my meeting, check TG
“FUCK, a context flush”
I tell the receptionist I need a minute
I quickly retype the messages while battling with autocorrect
Phew, got the agents tasked, back on schedule but wasted 3 mins with that hiccup
Can’t afford fuckups like that again
Make mental note to rearchitect my agent’s memory system later tonight
Sit down for a 30 minute meeting
