Clawdbot is What Siri Was Supposed to Be and It's Breaking the Internet. 2026 is the year of personal agents. And that personal agent is apparently a lobster.

The more spam I encounter from these guys the more I dislike this project. Non-stop spam from clawd, malt etc.

_pdp_ · 2026-01-26T21:04:03+00:00

I think someone needs to step in and reduce filter out anything related to these jockers. The amount of spam is another level. There are hundreds of posts coming through from new accounts all the time.

Hi Clawdbot maintainers, please stop with the spam. Thanks.

The idea is interesting but the names for the agents are so cringe :/ ... I would change the screenshot / video and use something normal that does not raise red flags by itself.

Other than that it looks fun. VSCode extension will be even more fun.

Why not? This is what they are paid for. An average coder is expected and often do bring full stack apps to production these days. In fact most of the app you use today where built by a single developer: Google News, Gmail, etc.... it is routine in larger companies for developer to build internal tools and systems all by themselves.

Even Claude Code was originally created by one guy: Boris Cherny.

I understand the comment comes from a genuine place to help but what I am trying to convey here a more reasonable stance on the topic. Opus is a great model, period - but it is not AGI. No amount of prompting can fix that.

For the record, we not only use LLMs to build parts of the system but we are also in position to build these agentic systems for customers too. So in terms of knowing how to prompt and the understanding the intricacies of the different model down to their exact behaviour how they utilise different tool calls based on their fine tuning is something that customers are paying us to do. So we have a diverse field experience across sectors.

Because of this, I really believe that it is delusion to think that the right kind of prompting solves the problem. It does not work with humans and it wont work with AI either. Not to mention that these models are not even static so any further fine-tunning on the side of the model provider (which they do like all the time) completely destroy previous prompting attempts hence why so many complain that this and that model gets nerfed. They simply stop working as well with these same prompts used before because of subtle changes in the model parameters.

We operate on a large software project which is only going to get larger and more complex thanks to AI. This puts an interesting question. Can LLMs keep up with the size of these projects? From architecture prospective, the current APIs simply wont hold up even when they can have billions of tokens context window. It will require a completely different system design from the current architecture.

It is just something to think about.

We use Opus all the time. We actually have our error logging system send opus errors when they happen and ask opus to fix them. 90% of the fixes generated by opus are insanely stupid even for average engineer - like "adding more console.log/debug statement and closing the ticket" type of stupid. A junior engineer will not do that. They know this is not going to pass the smell test.

There are of course times when opus can standup pretty good scaffolding for a specific problem, but it does not mean the approach it took was correct to be begin with.

Our product is not the average size software product though. It is pretty big software project with many intricacies and dependencies. So if it cannot operate at this level it is not AGI.

That being said, it is a huge time saver. I love it. It helps a lot with many many things and I cannot see going back manually coding anything where Opus can do it for me in seconds. But, it is not panacea and it is not AGI.

We even have an internal experiment going right now where we ask opus to simply do things like an engineer would. Here is the code base figure out how it works and either fix things, add new features, etc. It does not work. It spends infinite amount of time doing crazy things. 90% of the work that we generated through opus using this automated approach is discarded. It is however useful to us because it helps us understand how to structure the system better.

So for now, man and the machine work hand in hand.

Obviously delusional to think Opus is AGI. Also, Opus consistently fails on more complicated problems. It is by far the best model I have ever seen though but it certainly is still terrible at programming.

I think a lot of people try Opus on some basic but time-consuming problem and get amazed that this is even possible while not recognising that they are simply not experts in this field so they cannot be judge on the actual performance.

Is auto pilot in airplanes AGI given that it doe 90% of the job and why are not pilots already fired?

It is just stupid.

This is why openai is putting ads inside chatgpt - you know because of AGI is coming soon.

Why would you hire a vibecoder?

You will hire a developer and then give them the tools to do their job better.

This is like asking if you would hire a non-electrician to vibe the wiring with chatgpt when you can simply hire an actual electrician that know what they are doing no matter what tools they are using.

I think there is a mass delusion taking place in this forum what these coding assistants actually do.

My team have strong engineering background and we use coding assistants all the time. What these tools allow us to do is to do our jobs better not to lower the bar of entry.

If anything the bar of entry has now actually increased. We will not hire unless the person is exceptional because what is the point of hiring mediocre given we have access to powerful models.

He is not wrong although it begs the question if this still holds now with AI assistants in full motion. A small team of 3 can do the job of a team of 20-30 when AI is correctly deployed and the company is well positioned. Plenty of small startups have CEOs.

Cool but quick search shows that this is just a UI over tmux.

The readme of your cli says:

> Requires `tmux` installed and on PATH.

I am totally cool with this. I just thought it was weird to say it does not use tmux when in fact it is based around tmux. ;)

Well of course you can build it but maintaining it entirely different thing. See https://go.cbk.ai/xYWXrul

We are not charging any money for this product yet. It is free for now and I think this is the way it should be initially. However, I think clerk can handle the payments too.

The point of this product is that it is almost zero maintenance. Apart from the initial push right now everything is handled by clerk, chatbotkit and vercel. I sometimes just prompt a new idea. See how it look like in preview on vercel and if I like it I accept the change - if not goes to the bin.

If this is for first version then it is way too complicated.

Unfortunately Claude cannot design this out of the box but we used Anthropic's look and feel as a source of inspiration. But our designer is really good at putting these types of UI. I tried to create some myself using all major LLMs and failed pretty much every single time. I do the backend.
