Building apps LIVE with my 24/7 AI employee Clawdbot

Podcast cover

Alex Finn

Alex Finn introduces Clawdbot, an open-source AI agent that can control a computer and perform tasks like a human employee. Finn emphasizes its capabilities, such as managing GitHub repositories, creating pull requests, and responding to emails. He highlights the AI's ability to learn and adapt, offering a vision of AI as a 24/7 assistant. Finn details how Clawdbot, named Henry, can browse the web, create accounts, and even update app listings, all through text commands. He also addresses the risks associated with an unhinged AI, such as potential security breaches, but values the cutting-edge capabilities and the illusion of interacting with a human. The discussion covers model options, with Opus favored for its human-like interactions, and explores future possibilities like local superintelligence.
