There's a lot of people that would give it like email addresses, you know, its own Slack account, it's in their company, they would talk to it on Slack and say, Hey, can you go do x, y, z. So they're just like messaging on Slack and go and do these tasks is taking control of the screen.

And it's just, it's an agent, it's an employee, and it's going and running around doing stuff.

There's one VC firm in particular, I saw that had

20 of these running all at the same time um and they're like yeah we've we've like automated like 10 to 20 percent of all the work we do in our firm with these open claw agents that are just running on these mac minis and it's just like running around doing stuff so

Really crazy, but apparently this is working quite well for a lot of people.

It went super, super viral.

Just every single day you see new use cases that people are having to automate all of their emails.

There are some security issues here that we could get into in a bit, but overall, I think it was a really cool product.

Yeah, I think the reason why he specifically got acquired, well, number one, opening eyes acquiring him because it got so many users.

I mean, it had 180,000 stars on GitHub.

So developers like give it a star if they like it.

180,000 is insane.

I think it just had so much widespread usage and adoption.

People were talking about it.

Yes, other things do it.

The thing that I think he did...

that basically one in the end for him was he threw caution to the wind and let it completely access everything without any guardrails or restrictions.

And well, like that's sort of, it feels like a bad strategy for someone like Anthropic or OpenAI when they're building these kind of agentic browsers because they're going to get in big trouble.

He's like, I'm not liable for anything.

I'm building this tool.
