Hmm.

You know, building infrastructure to hook to some API or to dig through email or whatever-- it's a pain. And it's gotten harder. My old pile of procmail rules + spamassassin wouldn't work for the task anymore. Maintaining todos in text files has its high points and low points. And I have to be the person to notice patterns and do things myself.

Having some kind of agent as an assistant to do stuff, and not having to manage brittle infrastructure myself, sounds appealing. Accessibility from my phone through iMessage: ditto.

I haven't used it yet, but it's definitely captured my interest.

The hard thing is always remembering where that table is and restoring context. Big stuff is still often better done without an intermediary; being able to lob a question to an agent and maybe get an answer is huge.

To be clear, I didn't use clawdbot for my project.

If you are at all tech savvy, you can use n8n to set up a workflow that connects to all your data and provides an interface to talk to it..

This is the route I would recommend, and what everyone is using to build quick "AI Solutions" for businesses.
