Takeaways:
1.
OpenClaw is the fastest-growing open-source project on GitHub, an autonomous AI agent that can manage your email, files, browser, and accounts from one place. Meta and OpenAI are negotiating to acquire it, and many variants and alternatives are already emerging.
2.
We are shifting from traditional software development to a skills-in-the-middle paradigm, where developers write markdown skill files that guide AI agents instead of hard-coding logic. System architects are becoming skills architects.
3.
AI is now delivering real business value. The era of spending money on AI with only hope for future returns is ending. Companies can now sell outcomes rather than hours by building AI-powered marketing, sales, and automation systems for clients.

Quotes:
