## What Jamie wrote

OpenClaw (formerly MoltBot, formerly ClawdBot) showed up first from a [blogger I follow](https://blog.numericcitizen.me/2026/01/26/yesterday-night-i-installed-and.html). He was doing some really interesting stuff so I grabbed the link and checked it out. Then I saw Viticci of MacStories wrote that this [showed him what the future of personal AI assistants looks like](https://www.macstories.net/stories/clawdbot-showed-me-what-the-future-of-personal-ai-assistants-looks-like/).

Sadly I still haven't had time to install this myself and now reading some of the newest articles I probably need to think a bit about how I firewall it off so it doesn't do something I don't want it to. In fact the folks at 1Password even jumped on the bandwagon with how to [share access with agents](https://1password.com/blog/its-openclaw) which is really them trying to get some social action but also a good point. As we have agents operating on our behalf we are going to want to give them access to **our information** and doing that with a robust password manager makes a ton of sense. 

There are a ton of extensions to this project at [ClawHub](https://www.clawhub.ai), and this recap of [multiple reactions to](https://mjtsai.com/blog/2026/01/28/deploying-moltbot-formerly-clawdbot/) OpenClaw from Tsai is a good read too. 

Now I just need to play with this — and sadly the week ahead is completely busy. 😬
