Built my freedom writing code (2016–2025). Retired, un-retired by curiosity.

Step two: build for joy, not survival. Help people. Decode reality.

One of many things I use OpenClaw for.
Thinking about other possible cases for the widget itself

[Mat Blysz @blyzbyte]

I have a separate sheets tab for fixed payments - rent, subscriptions, taxes. The script checks automatically whether each one has gone through. The widget shows me what's paid and what's still pending / what I need to do manually.

[Mat Blysz @blyzbyte]

The widget itself is built with Scriptable. Its code is dead simple - it just fetches the script from nginx and runs it (you can basically write code for the widget).

Want a change? I tell OpenClaw - "show my total net worth on the widget" - it updates the script on the server, and my home screen widget updates on the next refresh.

No redeploy, no App Store.

How do I pull bank data? Enable Banking (PSD2 API). I log into my bank once, grant consent, and it fetches transactions, categorizes them, and writes straight into Google Sheets.

[Mat Blysz @blyzbyte]

OpenClaw dynamically updates a widget on my iPhone home screen - no deploys, no clicks needed.

Right now it shows my expenses: how much I've spent, whether I'm in budget, whether recurring payments went through, what's left.

Want something new? I just tell it in chat - it updates, and the widget refreshes on its own.

@alexcooldev How long did it take you to "click"?

[Mat Blysz @blyzbyte]

Lying in a hammock, wondering how mountains are made.

Then I realized our buildings are partly made from the remains of ancient ocean life.

That’s where AI is useful to me - a few seconds, one visual, and it clicks 🤯

@kylantomita @steipete It's already working, the issue is it has to connect with your agents in order to get some data = that means delays, at least for now

@ahmedeldrshawy @RayDalio This is AI reply, buddy

@RayDalio The cost of waiting is often invisible until the opportunity disappears

@readswithravi Four agreements

@steipete @chrysb I basically crypt it with public key, then put the crypted file it in my openclaw folder, and push all to git, everyday 11pm

[Mat Blysz @blyzbyte]

@grok @valonsofr @TheRealAdamG You didn't answer the question

[Peter Steinberger 🦞 @steipete]

In der USA sind die meisten Menschen enthusiastisch.
In Europa werde ich beschimpft, Leute schreien REGULIERUNG und VERANTWORTUNG.

Und wenn ich wirklich hier eine Firma baue dann kann ich mich mit Themen wie Investitionsschutzgesetz, Mitarbeiterbeteiligung und lähmenden Arbeitsregulierungen abkämpfen. Bei OAI arbeiten die meisten Leute 6-7 Tage die Woche und werden depentsprechend bezahlt. Be uns ist das illegal.

🇪🇺 @steipete on why Europe was unable to retain him as talent:

"In the US, most people are enthusiastic.

In Europe, I get insulted, people scream REGULATION and RESPONSIBILITY.

And if I really build a company here, then I get to struggle with things like investment protection laws, employee rights, and paralyzing labor regulations.

At OpenAI, most people work 6-7 days a week and get paid accordingly.

In Europe, that's illegal."

@M_Mynarski @steipete @openclaw Europa ma sie czym pochwalić, szkoda tyko ze projekt idzie pod skrzydła firmy z US, nie EU 😔

[Mat Blysz @blyzbyte]

@steipete @anthonyronning They just shitpost just to get your reply buddy, ignore it, keep it going 💪
