Yep, and it passed tests and review

Not exactly, clawdbot is an open source project with hundreds of contributors (including me!) in only 3 weeks of its existence. Your characterization of just a one-man dev developed project is inaccurate.

rei is introduced in this sentence: "thanks to my AI assistant rei" and then referenced in the next sentence.

Clawdbot allows you to configure your assistant with a name and a persona.

We are clearly having two entirely different conversations.

I'd encourage you to read my original post again, and try out the software yourself.

As a side note, I think your sidechat tmux AI chat panel project is extremely cool. Nice work!

In any case, I don't think we're making too much progress here, so I'll duck out. Take care mate.

I'm genuinely sorry you think that, and it's not my intention to offend you.

However your comment reads exactly like you saying to a Dropbox user "This is a user going to rsync, setting up a folder sync in a cron job, running the cron job, and saying "wow isn't dropbox great".

Sometimes the next paradigm of user interface is a tweak that re-contextualizes a tool, whether you agree with that or not.

Wishing you all the best.

I've seen many people say "I don't get the hype", so here's my attempt to explain it. I've been working in technology and software companies my entire life, but not as a developer.

Two days ago, I submitted and had my first pull request merged to an open source project (Clawdbot) thanks to my AI assistant rei.

A short story: rei suddenly stopped responding in some Slack channels. So I asked it to help me troubleshoot.

We traced the issue: adding custom instructions in one Slack channel incorrectly stopped it from replying in all the others.

I considered reporting the issue in GitHub, but then I thought, "Well... what if we just try to fix it ourselves, and submit a PR?"

So we did. We cloned the codebase, found the issue, wrote the fix, added tests. I asked it to code review its own fix. The AI debugged itself, then reviewed its own work, and then helped me submit the PR.

Hard to accurately describe the unlock this has enabled for me.

Technically, it's just an LLM call, and technically, I could have done this before.

However there is something different about this new model of "co-working with AI that has context on you and what you're doing" that just clicks.

We have announcements in the middle for around 15 minutes where anyone can stand up and say something to everyone.

Aside from that, it’s a pretty free flowing, friendly mixer event.

These meetups always attract of a wide range of people - from people hacking on unique and interesting projects, to founders/CEOs, to investors, to programmers and marketers.

If you're in Tokyo and interested in meeting more people in the technology space, it's a very friendly and welcoming group of people.
