Found a piece of OpenClaw history, here's a chat I had with the prime instance last year in December /Cc @steipete.me
Peter Steinberger
@steipete.me
vibe coding is the way. I bootstrapped a remote company before it was cool. Founder @PSPDFKit (exit to Insight). 🏳️🌈
Anyways, 👇 Gespräch mit @steipete.me ist sicher eine der besten Reflektionen zur Softwareentwicklung mit LLM-Agenten - ob mit Codex mit 🇩🇪 oder Claude Code eher 🇺🇸 Mentalität - mindestes mal diesen Jahres. 9/9
OpenClaw: The Viral AI Agent that Broke the Internet - Peter Steinberger | Lex Fridman Podcast #491

Hier die knapp 25minütige Langfassung meines #ZiB2-Gesprächs mit Entwickler @steipete.me, den Sam Altman, sein neuer Chef bei OpenAI für „ein Genie“ hält:
"ZIB 2"-Langfassung: KI-Entwickler Peter Steinberger im Interview
Der Oberösterreicher Peter Steinberger hat mit OpenClaw einen KI-Agenten entwickelt, der Aufgaben im Internet selbst erledigt – etwa Mails beantworten und Reisen buchen. Nun verpflichtet ihn OpenAI, e...

I built an alternative to all the big players that can run fully local, where people own their data. I get hate. I picked OpenAI because they gave me better answers about encryption, responsibility and safety concerns for what I want to build next. I get hate.
Reading some of the takes about Peter here and on X feels less like criticism and more like people shadowboxing their own hatred towards AI. Maybe good to remember that Peter is a real person and one that I know quite well. The criticism thrown his direction from some people is heavily misplaced.
London friends!! 🦞🇬🇧 I’m hosting an AI Agents Hack Night at @nwspk in East London on Feb 17. Bring your laptop, your friends, and your agent swarm ;) 👉 luma.com/46cy08st #AIAgents #AIHackNight #LondonTech #BuildInPublic #OpenClaw
AI Agent Hack Night 🦞 London 17 Feb 2026 · Luma
Attention London agent tinkerers and curious humans 🤖✨ Come join us for a relaxed AI Agent Hack Night - a bring-your-laptop evening for playing with AI…

Gosh this is like a quiet safe haven here. X went completely batshit crazy. Crypto shills attacking me, my account doubling in follower numbers overnight. What a day.
I can now ask my Clawdbot to show me my Mac mini desktop and control stuff without having to get off my couch. The future is wild, man. @steipete.me
For anyone wondering what AI means for devs: Pre-AI, @steipete.me was one of the single most productive devs solving a very hard problem: PDF rendering Post-AI, he's again one of the single most productive devs solving a very hard problem: building the next-gen Siri (aka Clawdbot)
On the same note: github.com/steipete If you check @steipete.me current projects you'll notice that half of Clawdbot's features come from other tools he's been building. COMPOSABILITY!
Nothing makes this argument better that @simonwillison.net 's tools repo: tools.simonwillison.net That's exactly it!
@viticci.macstories.net @steipete.me Yesss, been loving Clawdbot. It feels like a whole other software world — and not just because of the insane Discord.
been playing around with clawdbot these past days to have it integrated into my Slack server as personal AI assistant one channel per topic tbh, especially as a solopreneur, this feels great, as it’s keeping in mind the details and helps you plan + bounce off new ideas
Oh God, @viticci has undersold how amazing is ClawdBot (https://clawd.bot) by @steipete. 1.5 hours ago I hadn’t even heard about it, and now look at it go through my files, notes and emails finding things. This is like the first chat with ChatGPT and the first […] [Original post on iosdev.space]
clawdbot has a notion skill for that the cool thing about clawdbot: you just chat with him :D .. „how can I give you access to to Notion?“ .. he responds with a detailed guide with links to the Notion pages where you create an App token and specify which pages / databases he can access its awesome
I added yet another channel for my AI assistant Francis, he’s now helping me to get back in shape 😬 this year seems be the time where I‘m working more with a personal assistant .. and the cool thing about clawdbot is, that I‘m still keeping all the main context of my personal data locally on my PC
Whenever I read discourse on AI energy/water use that focuses on the "median query," I can't help but feel misled. Coding agents like Claude Code send hundreds of longer-than-median queries every session, and I run dozens of sessions a day. On my blog: www.simonpcouch.com/blog/2026-01...
Awesome Claude Code Anonymous meetup. Multiple short talks on how people are using AI (not just Claude Code) to build things from the likes of @steipete.me, @orta.io, @nearestnabors.com and others. Many thanks to Orta, Peter and @edsaperia.bsky.social of Newspeak House for making it happen!
High Praise, thanks Federico! It's been years since I had so much fun building something. Defo feels like living in the future.
An open-source AI agent running on my Mac mini is the most fun I've had with AI in a while. Clawdbot by @steipete.me is an AI assistant that you can infinitely tweak. Runs in any messaging app, has access to skills + shell, and it can improve itself. My story: www.macstories.net/stories/claw...
This post was a massive success so wanna repost it here. Dunno if BlueSky is now more open for these topics? steipete.me/posts/2025/s...

Why I stopped reading code and started watching it stream by.

I just bought a ticket for CASE Conf in Berlin. Found out about it in @steipete.me's speaking repo. Now trying to get others to join in January. 😎
Gonna be two intense months! Have to keep myself busy with that Max Sub nerving xD If you're in London and are a builder, DM me to apply for Claude Code Anonymous. 🤖 Vienna folks, come to lu.ma/vienna-tech-... If you're in Berlin, check out CASE Conf: case-conf.com List: github.com/steipete/spe...
Vibe-Coding in a language that you've never learnt is fun until you hit an edge-case that AI just doesn't get. Today @steipete.me and his blog post saved my ass steipete.me/posts/2025/s... macOS has some weird issues 😅
Showing Settings from macOS Menu Bar Items: A 5-Hour Journey | Peter Steinberger
Why something as simple as showing a settings dialog from a macOS menu bar app took me 5 hours to figure out, and requires 50 lines of code for what should be a one-liner.

You certainly haven’t missed it, but @steipete.me with great content on AI showing his journey. 👉 https://swiftconnection.io
