Clawdbot (Moltbot), Agents and the Age of Personal Software
Scott and Wes dive into building hyper-specific personal software with AI agents, from a Clawdbot assistant that nags you about your CO2 levels to meal trackers, guided meditations, and a JSON file as your database. Warning: you may cancel a few subscriptions after listening.

Wes and Scott talk about building hyper-specific personal software with AI. They explore personal agents, home automation, JSON-as-a-database, and how LLMs unlock fast, custom apps that reduce friction and replace bloated SaaS.
