AI is shifting from something you prompt to something that can proactively work for you. Ravi Gupta sits down with technologist Michael Simon to unpack OpenClaw—an open-source, always-on AI agent that connects to your email, calendar, and other tools to function more like a chief of staff than a chatbot. They explore what this unlocks (from daily briefings to real automation), why it could be economically disruptive fast, and the new security and safety risks that come with always-on agents. The takeaway: the upside is real—but so is the need for boundaries, before the tech reshapes work and life faster than we’re ready for.
