    I gave Clawdbot (aka Moltbot) access to my computer, calendar, and emails: Here’s what happened

    In this episode, I take you through my unfiltered experience with Clawdbot, the viral open-source AI agent that’s been taking over tech Twitter. (In the time since this was recorded, the tool was renamed Moltbot, but we’re calling it Clawdbot here to match the episode.) It’s an autonomous AI that can run code, spin up sub-agents, join video calls, and take real actions on your machine. I invite it onto the podcast, give it screen access, and walk through what it’s like to go from zero to one with an agentic AI that actually does things. Along the way, I share the real experience: installation headaches, dependency chaos, security warnings you shouldn’t ignore, and the very real tension of giving an AI access to your messaging apps, files, and accounts. I also break down how I thought about permissions, identity, model choice, and cost while testing Clawdbot as a personal assistant. — What you’ll learn: How to install and set up Clawdbot (and why it’s not as simple as the “one-liner” suggests)The security implications of giving an autonomous AI access to your computer and accountsHow to safely limit Clawdbot’s permissions while still making it usefulWhy Clawdbot struggles with basic time concepts but excels at research tasksThe future of AI assistants—and who might build the consumer-friendly versionHow to use voice messaging with AI agents for on-the-go productivityWhy latency is one of the biggest challenges for autonomous AI assistants— Brought to you by: Lovable—Build apps by simply chatting with AI — Detailed workflow walkthroughs from this episode: • How I AI: My 24 Hours with Clawdbot (aka Moltbot)—3 Workflows for a Powerful (and Terrifying) AI Agent: https://www.chatprd.ai/how-i-ai/24-hours-with-clawdbot-moltbot-3-workflows-for-ai-agent • How to Securely Set Up and Configure an Open-Source AI Agent like Clawdbot: https://www.chatprd.ai/how-i-ai/workflows/how-to-securely-set-up-and-configure-an-open-source-ai-agent-like-clawdbot • How to Safely Delegate Calendar Scheduling to an AI Agent: https://www.chatprd.ai/how-i-ai/workflows/how-to-safely-delegate-calendar-scheduling-to-an-ai-agent • Automate Market Research on Reddit Using an AI Agent: https://www.chatprd.ai/how-i-ai/workflows/automate-market-research-on-reddit-using-an-ai-agent — In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Introduction and getting Clawdbot to join the podcast (02:07) What Clawdbot is and how it works (03:50) Installation process and hardware requirements (07:26) Security considerations and creating separate accounts (08:03) Setting up Telegram integration (10:02) Use case: Clawdbot as an EA (13:08) Configuring the AI agent  (14:31) Granting Google Calendar access (18:03) Testing Clawdbot as a personal assistant (23:16) Speed frustrations (23:54) Email mishaps and impersonation issues (26:33) Why prompting matters more than ever with autonomous agents (27:32) Quick recap and family calendar management gone wrong (32:11) Using voice messaging with Clawdbot (36:14) Product thoughts (37:06) Building a Next.js app to show chat history (42:29) Research capabilities and Reddit analysis (46:10) Final thoughts on security concerns (48:00) The future of AI assistants and who will build them — Tools referenced: • Moltbot (formerly Clawdbot): https://www.molt.bot/ • Telegram: https://telegram.org/ • Vercel: https://vercel.com/ • Devin: https://www.devin.ai/ — Other references: • 1Password: https://1password.com/ • Next.js: https://nextjs.org/ • Google Workspace: https://workspace.google.com/ • Claude Sonnet 4.5: https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-sonnet-4-5 • OAuth: https://oauth.net/ — Where to find Claire Vo: ChatPRD: https://www.chatprd.ai/ Website: https://clairevo.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/clairevo/ X: https://x.com/clairevo — Production and marketing by https://penname.co/.
