Most AI is just a chatbot trapped in a tab. But @moltbot (Clawd) is different. It’s an autonomous agent that actually does your work while you’re out walking your dog. I spent the day digging into why the smartest people in tech (including Karpathy) are losing their minds over this. Here is everything you need to know about the rise of the Digital Employee. 🧵👇

Selling my first agent was easier than I thought it would be. I was just building automations for fun and posting them on YouTube to learn. Then someone reached out. We hopped on a casual call. Two hours later, I had $1,200 in my account. But the reason why was obvious: I had something to show him. A working automation. Not a pitch deck or a portfolio website, an actual demo of an automation similar to what he wanted. When you have that, the pitch writes itself: "Want something like this?" It’s so obvious, and yet so few beginners have any demos to show potential clients. That’s why I’m holding a FREE (with a small catch) challenge where I will help you build your first few automations. Click here to get all the details Talk soon, Nate
