Remember when Siri was supposed to change everything? This might actually be it.

OpenClaw is the Jarvis we were promised—an AI assistant that actually does things. It reads your emails, manages your calendar, negotiates prices, drafts follow-ups. Andrej Karpathy calls what's emerging around it "the most sci-fi takeoff adjacent thing" he's seen. Fair warning: it still makes plenty of mistakes. But for the first time, the dream feels real.

Inspired by the work of Peter Steinberger and the OpenClaw community, this episode was created using Google's NotebookLM.
