Today’s show:

Today on TWiST we’re joined by 3 founders building on Open Claw, Presh Dineshkumar, Vishnu, and Sean Liu!

First, long time friend of the pod, Presh Dineshkumar, shows us how he’s using Open Claw to automate his work at The Wellness Company. His Open Claw agent, Eywa, lives in his email and in his product, able to compile user lists at his discretion.

Then, we’re joined by Vishnu, who brings Open Claw to the masses. Non-technical folks, it’s your lucky day! Time to get Clawd-shotted! Last, Sean Liu joins the show to tell us about how he’s connecting Meta glasses to his Open Claw instance to interact with context that users can physically see!
