AI is not conscious - its neither imaginary nor friend. It's a tool, like a knife that can cut an apple for me. Except this tool can generate text. Homo-habilis discovered tools 2.4 million years ago - let's keep it going.

Not even close. I use all of them. My claw has max context (i maintain a personal-wiki of all my projects) and does the best job. The next best thing is Claude cowork. I use chat windows of claude.ai or chatgpt only when researching general topics, not specific ones.

Harness designs assume "high-agency users". This is either bad design, or arrogance, or both.

I know the problem, because we built one for low agency users, in rural India, for financial inclusion.

Usability is a problem the AI-discourse is ignoring at its own peril.

Like the concept. This is not a business - should be an open source GitHub repo maybe.

They lost me with just one microcopy - “start earning”. Huge red signal.

I disagree with practically every take here, and likely will get hate for this message.

Personally it has been a huge unlock and here are some specific use cases.

1.Context engineering for “any task”: my claw agents debate with me, and write me files to be picked up by Claude code or Claude cowork to write code/build presentations.

2. Discovering this page: my personal newsfeed that took me 10 mins to setup. Never had any newsfeed before this which could be personalised like this.

3. Strategy: similar to point 1 above. I set up a “tough-coach” skill. Now all my 1am ideas go through the wringer of why they suck, and what, if anything could be differentiated about them.

4. Many other small-ish things that are important enough for me to spend on them, but not important enough to invest my time.

I run a conversational AI startup in India working mostly in Financial inclusion space - so most of time is spent in meetings (:-/).

With openclaw, the 2-3 hours before I sleep (low energy, high on ideas), convert into pretty productive sessions. No more “this is a great idea, I will do it tomorrow”. Instead “oh this sounded great but my agent just called it shit - what if I modify it a bit, and then let’s see”.

Absolutely. Cannot find the images that are not visible though yet. Should have taken screenshots :-(

Yes, that's pretty much what it looked like. The blank spaces you see are all product screenshots.

It used to be a typical SaaS website.

Will try to see if I have any screenshots. I must.

The conversion rates (visitor to signup) went up from around 7.4% to 11.2%. Still curious to see if this holds.
