I’ve been watching an AI agent called Clawdbot gain traction, and it’s worth discussing.
Instead of dashboards or prompts, you interact with it through messaging apps.
You can ask it to:
• Write documents
• Reply to emails
• Buy products
• Control your computer remotely
It also has long-term memory — meaning it learns how you work over time.
Some early users are already running:
– Automated trading
– Job search workflows
– Customer support operations
A Russian hardware enthusiast built a DIY 32GB DDR5 RAM module and saved up to $800 on a single stick.
The project shows how rising memory prices are pushing enthusiasts toward creative solutions.

“Looking ahead to 2026,” the most interesting AI question is no longer “how big is the model?” but “what systems are we building around it?”
The emerging blueprint:
- Treat AI as scaffolding for human potential, not a substitute for people
- Evolve from single models to orchestrated systems with agents, memory, entitlements, and safe tool use
- Focus on real-world evaluations and societal impact so AI earns permission, not just attention.
Wishing everyone in our open tech community a Happy New Year—may the year ahead bring impactful collaboration, continuous learning, and meaningful innovation for all.
