VIEW RECORDING - 108 mins (No highlights) Meeting Purpose A developer coaching call on AI agent frameworks and business strategy. Key Takeaways - OpenClaw is a game-changer for automating tedious tasks, but requires a secure, isolated setup (e.g., dedicated VM, strict API keys) to mitigate its inherent security risks. - AI's speed shifts developer value from coding to business strategy. The new focus is on business discovery, value-based pricing, and using AI to solve high-value problems, not just write code. - Advanced OpenClaw setups optimize cost and performance by using a multi-channel Discord interface to manage context, routing tasks to cost-effective models (e.g., OpenRouter), and calling Claude Code headlessly for complex work. - AI-assisted debugging and documentation are essential. Morgan's Drizzle ORM and Vercel deployment issues highlight the need for persistent, project-specific documentation to avoid repeating complex fixes. Topics The OpenClaw Revolution: Automation & Security - OpenClaw (formerly Clawd) is a powerful agent framework for automating tasks. - Core Use Cases: Patrick: Monitors Montreal traffic to trigger early alarms for public transport delays. Ty: Automates monthly client invoicing by pulling usage data from emails and credit cards. - Security is paramount. The framework is not hardened out-of-the-box, making isolation critical. Patrick's Strategy: Treats the agent as a "co-worker" with good intentions but no inherent security. Runs in an isolated Proxmox VM. Uses a dedicated identity (Gmail, GitHub, calendar). Uses API keys with strict caps to limit the blast radius of any error. Ty's Strategy: Built a custom "Secure Claw" on AWS, accessible only via a Telegram bot. - Advanced Architectures for Efficiency: Patrick's Setup: Interface: Discord, with dedicated channels to isolate conversation context. Memory: A three-layer system to improve precision and reduce token usage: Global memory (agent identity) Channel-specific memory (task context) Conversation context Model Routing: Uses OpenRouter for cheap, daily tasks (e.g., Qwen 3) and calls Claude Code headlessly for complex work, leveraging an existing subscription without API key sharing. Project Management: Uses GitHub Projects for task tracking and Obsidian for a searchable journal of the agent's decisions.

VIEW RECORDING - 139 mins (No highlights) Meeting Purpose A coaching call for AI developers to share progress, discuss challenges, and exchange best practices. Key Takeaways - Secure AI Agents: Treat agents like coworkers with separate identities (email, GitHub) and use GitHub as a mandatory PR-based approval pipeline for all agent work, including code and documentation. - Iterate with AI, Deploy with Code: Use AI agents to rapidly prototype and validate processes. Once a workflow is deterministic, convert it to a script (e.g., JavaScript) for faster execution and lower token costs. - "Software on Demand" is the New Default: Build custom tools to replace SaaS subscriptions, even for small costs. This creates perfectly tailored, single-user software that eliminates vendor lock-in. - Navigate Corporate AI with Governance: In regulated industries like banking, prioritize governance (e.g., SOC 2), align projects with leadership's success metrics, and provide free services to security teams to build rapport. Topics Project Updates & Demos - Frank Labs (Ty): An AI team that augments business functions (SDR, support, finance) using a hybrid model: Local: Mistral 7B on an EC2 instance. API: GPT-4O for core functions. RAG: Provides business-specific context. Guardrails: A "council" of independent agents (security, prompt injection) self-checks outputs, inspired by the "five thinking hats" method. Lead Gen Stack: Perplexity, Hunter, Apollo, and Clay (for ICP grounding). - Worksheet Automation (Morgan): Process: Markdown → HTML → PDF. Method: Prototyped with Claude Skills, then converted to a JavaScript app. Result: Execution time reduced from 30–90s (skills) to ~3s (script). - CSV to Static Site (Mitch): Goal: Enable non-technical team members to generate static HTML sites from CSV data. Proposed Solution: A Claude Skill that calls a deterministic JavaScript function, deployed via Claude's Codex tool. - OpenClaw Security Framework (Patrick): Core Principle: Treat the agent as a coworker with a separate identity. Identity Isolation: Dedicated Gmail, calendar, and GitHub accounts. GitHub PRs are the mandatory approval pipeline for all work. Access Control: Web UI is disabled; access is via SSH tunnel only. Primary interaction is via Telegram. Memory Externalization: All decisions are logged to an Obsidian Vault, synced via GitHub, for full auditability. Tech Stack: Ubuntu 24.04 VM on Proxmox; Claude Code is used as a tool for coding tasks. - AI Developer Friction (Juan): Challenge: New agentic workflows create friction with traditional development teams. Solution: Consultants can introduce these methods as outside experts, bypassing internal resistance.
