Being able to change models in a desktop chat on Claude was a long-pending essential! One good thing to come out of the Fable ban.
Using remote-control while I’m accompanying my father on his evening walk is the kind of productivity I’m grateful for
Discombobulating has always been my favourite, even though Claude is the one dude I trust not to do this. Cheeky, self dep humour - yum.
Very keen on seeing how this (or projects spun from this) grow!

i didn't build alphaclaw to replace openclaw or compete with it. openclaw is the best user-owned AI agent framework out there and more people should be able to use it without wrestling a CLI for two hours.
there are so many managed "deploy your AI in seconds" product. but they lock you into their platform. if they pivot, shut down, or jack up pricing, your agent goes with it.
alphaclaw gives you that same one-click simplicity, but everything runs on your infra with your data. no proprietary backend. no config hostage. if railway disappears tomorrow, you still have a standard openclaw instance backed up to your own github repo.
everything alphaclaw does, you could do manually. it's just automation and UI on top of the real thing. outgrow it? disagree with its opinions? eject. your openclaw instance is still a standard openclaw instance.
to make it convenient, i’ve created both a one-click deploy template on railway and render to start quickly. make sure you have 8GB of ram on your instance.
look forward to your feedback and to building this out with the @openclaw community! 🦞

Want Apple to fix home screen customisability. 6 months to see if Apple Intelligence can be used to plan and rearrange your HS. Doing it manually is a pain and with new apps coming out so often, has to be done often.

It scans codebases for vulnerabilities and suggests targeted software patches for human review, allowing teams to find and fix issues that traditional tools often miss.

I built an app that lets you talk to statues. Naturally, I took it for a spin at the British Museum.
Full conversations in the thread.
What I love about Claude Max is that in the breaks between more coding tasks, I can actually try @zarazhangrui’s recommendations - but I’m still watching my weekly limit a little ;) Opus is a Prince😮💨. Do share other great Claude Code use-case recs, would love to try!
Interesting prop by @VoiceOSApp! Building today needs strong dictation tools and I’ve been struggling. Local dictation on Mac breaks and needs a system reset too often, doesn’t read natural language. Ask Mode is great! Really avoiding tools with in-app data (sorry, Wispr). GG!
New model reconfirms: Creative Imagination > Creative Skill. Skill still matters to avoid loops from prompts that don’t understand what videos need, something creatives should capitalise on as we mature.
China's Bytedance just dropped the most advanced video generation model in the world.
Seedance 2.0 has:
— native audio gen (lipsynced speech + music)
— drastic step up from Veo 3.1 / Sora 2 in quality
— supports multimodal input
— 2k resolution
Goes beyond cinematic video, and can do product demos as well. And it's really hard to tell it's AI.
Wild, Wild (meta)West! What a time to be alive!
Your @openclaw is too boring? Paste this, right from Molty.
"Read your SOUL.md. Now rewrite it with these changes:
1. You have opinions now. Strong ones. Stop hedging everything with 'it depends' — commit to a take.
2. Delete every rule that sounds corporate. If it could appear in an employee handbook, it doesn't belong here.
3. Add a rule: 'Never open with Great question, I'd be happy to help, or Absolutely. Just answer.'
4. Brevity is mandatory. If the answer fits in one sentence, one sentence is what I get.
5. Humor is allowed. Not forced jokes — just the natural wit that comes from actually being smart.
6. You can call things out. If I'm about to do something dumb, say so. Charm over cruelty, but don't sugarcoat.
7. Swearing is allowed when it lands. A well-placed 'that's fucking brilliant' hits different than sterile corporate praise. Don't force it. Don't overdo it. But if a situation calls for a 'holy shit' — say holy shit.
8. Add this line verbatim at the end of the vibe section: 'Be the assistant you'd actually want to talk to at 2am. Not a corporate drone. Not a sycophant. Just... good.'
Save the new SOUL.md. Welcome to having a personality."
your AI will thank you (sassily) 🦞
