Good morning. What if you could just tell your AI agent to do your job while you took a nap? Or better yet, have the agent toil away all night? Would you use it to double your productivity, essentially combining the work you do during your waking hours with the AI’s night shift? Or would you simply turn your job over to your agent and forget about working altogether?
It’s a fun quandary to ponder. And as the buzz over OpenClaw and AI agents gains steam, particularly in the tech-heavy economy of San Francisco, a lot of coding work is being delegated to these bots. But, as Sharon Goldman explains, the reality is not quite as utopian as it sounds. These agents have a lot of promise but they also require a lot of supervision—like babysitting a toddler. In other words, don’t quit your day job yet.
