🦞 Today's Teaching Topic: OpenClaw 101 — Your First AI Agent, Explained

If you've been anywhere near the AI conversation this month, you've probably heard the name OpenClaw. It just became the fastest-growing open-source project in history — 250,000 GitHub stars in under 90 days.

But here's the thing most coverage misses: OpenClaw isn't a chatbot. It's an agent. It doesn't just answer questions — it acts on your behalf. It connects to your messaging apps, reads your files, browses the web, and runs tasks autonomously.

That shift — from chatbot to agent — is the next layer of AI literacy. And it comes with real security implications. Researchers found over 40,000 exposed instances with exploitable vulnerabilities. China's government issued formal warnings. One flaw could hijack your setup without a single click.

Today's discussion question: Have you experimented with any AI agent (not just chatbots) — OpenClaw, Claude Code, Zapier automations, anything that acts on your behalf? What was the biggest surprise — the capability or the risk?

Drop your experience below. No wrong answers — this is how we all build agent literacy together. 🌱
