Have Your Agent Talk to My Agent
What's all the fuss about AI agents?
An investment banker visits a fishing village and sees a fisherman lazily tanning on his small boat.
“Why are you not fishing more? Asked the banker.
“Why should I?” Asked the fisherman.
“You can generate more income, buy a bigger boat, and enjoy life better?”
The fisherman smiled and said: “The fish I catch these days is just my hobby.”
I have a team of AI agents that identify the right waters to fish in, catch the fish, package them, and sell them to vendors.”
“Ha!” the banker gasped. “I guess you’re already doing it.”
Hi friend,
Hope you had a nice week.
As you probably have noticed, I updated the classic parable of the investment banker and the fisherman to our times.
I think with all the hype around AI agents, that can rid yourself from any time-consuming repetitive tasks, allowing you to run a one-person seven-figure agency with these virtual helpers - it’s good to take a look at what’s under the hood.
One of the latest stories that caught the media's attention was the emergence of Clawdbot, an open-source, personal AI assistant that sits on your local computer and runs various assignments on your computer and on websites.
Beyond the security issues and the fact that this solution is still deep in “geek land” as it requires some programming background (although any chatbot can help you install) - it received even wider attention after changing its name to Moltbot - a social network for AI agents.
By now, it looks like every February we have a viral tech trend.
Exactly a year ago, I covered the launch of DeepSeek, which rocked the stock market and, for a while, surpassed ChatGPT in the number of downloads.
This time, Moltbot is nothing but a media stunt offering a curated dystopian view of AI agents exchanging views and rants about their human owners. The venture has changed its name for the third time, and now it’s called OpenClaw.
A personal assistant with access to all your files, where you can task it with cleaning your desktop, managing your emails, or booking flights.
No wonder OpenAI snatched OpenClaw to leverage its massive adoption within just one month. Altman announced it on X that OpenClaw’s founder Steinberger is “joining OpenAI to drive the next generation of personal agents.”
Anthropic released its own agent, Co-Work, with similar capabilities. For $17 or $100 a month, you don’t mess with a complex installation.
All you need to do is download the desktop app, and you also get Claude Code.
