When it comes to OpenClaw and autonomous AI agents, the example everyone uses is “it can book a table for you at a restaurant.”
Is this really a breakthrough?
How often are people booking a reservation? 1-2 a month? You’re telling me you can’t pick up the phone a few times a month?

"Founder-led marketing was always a cheat code. Now it's becoming a requirement."
The people who win right now are the ones who can rise above the AI-generated average.

If it's a bad idea, a month is probably enough time to figure that out.
If you're getting some signal, you need more devotion to seek what works. WP Engine took 4 months of interviews.
And don’t let bad ideas linger, sopping up more and more of your energy.

Really good episode:

The new version of Agent OS looks for unique patterns in your legacy code, and then interviews you to learn why you made those decisions. Then it documents those standards for Claude Code to follow.
Well done @briancasel.com!

All of the hosting platforms (including YouTube!) are having to fight the AI slop problem. Also a problem for podcast hosting platforms: thousands of slop shows being programmatically created.

Building something people want? That’s the real challenge.
