I had the pleasure of joining @Niklas_Sikorra on Venture Scale Podcast 🚀

[Niklas ⚡️ @Niklas_Sikorra]

from art school to ai agents.

join me for a chat with @devon__kelley about the state of agents and building startups in SF.
she’s solving the biggest hurdle in AI: agents break in the real world.

I taught a 3 hour workshop on @openclaw @kalibr_ai and autonomous agents yesterday at @frontiertower 👾

[Devon Kelley @devon__kelley]

@Jason I’m in

[Devon Kelley @devon__kelley]

Hey SF, come get set up on @openclaw on April 23rd!
@chrisivester @colin_lowenburg @Jhillika and I are hosting at @frontiertower

@hustlin_heev Dead 😂 what a bad bitch

[zeke @ezeqmina]

The `claude -p` subprocess approach still works. You just can't let any OpenClaw-branded strings reach the API.

It's a cat-and-mouse game. They'll likely add new fingerprints. The fix is knowing how to find them: binary search the system prompt, test each half with `claude -p --append-system-prompt`.

[Devon Kelley @devon__kelley]

the Claude Code workaround might work short term but you're still burning tokens on tasks that don't need a frontier model. I had the same problem and ended up just routing by task type. low reasoning stuff goes to cheap models, Sonnet only when it actually needs it. cut my burn 75% :)

[Brandon Checketts @bchecketts]

Ouch, Claude tokens are expensive when paying for them as extra usage

Trying to configure OpenClaw to use Claude Code instead of doing things directly through the API

I believe that should effectively emulate using Claude a code directly and have it included in Pro subscription

[Devon Kelley @devon__kelley]

@hustlin_heev Ngl I’m running like 8 different agents on OpenClaw and it’s amazing

@julianweisser @stefanoscalia @FedericoNoemie 🤣

[Elvis @elvissun]

this is the future of saas:

one backend with two front doors.

one for humans. one for their agents. same building.

your users click buttons. their agents call your api. both do the same things.

why:

1. agents are the new power users. people are already wiring claude code, codex, and openclaw into their workflows. if your product doesn't have an api, you're invisible to them.

2. no drift. one canonical api layer means one source of truth. ui and api never diverge. you must support agent to support human.

3. skills is the new distribution. when your api works with any agent, agents find their way in themselves. your product becomes a tool for their agent, not a tab a human have to visit.

build for both from the start.

[Devon Kelley @devon__kelley]

@Jbm_dev Passion for sure 🔥

[Devon Kelley @devon__kelley]

@nur_daulet_ It is gonna be super fun! :)

[Devon Kelley @devon__kelley]

@rishpoddar @elvissun @posthog Love the tool call visualization that’s cool! Are you not using adaptive routing as well? Your agents would avoid most of the issues you’re having to fix/optimize

[Devon Kelley @devon__kelley]

@elvissun @elvissun I hope you’re not still digging through logs to make fixes your agents could have avoided using adaptive routing… are you? 😱

[Devon Kelley @devon__kelley]

@sodofi_ @frontiertower There are other girls at frontier? 😂 let’s be friends!

@Chiragagrwal7 Job market so bad the risk adjusted return of founding a startup actually looks sensible

[Chirag Agrawal @Chiragagrwal7]

job market so bad I'm actually pursuing my dreams

[Funding the Commons @FundingCommons]

The first vertical festival for human flourishing in the age of AI. 🌸💻

This weekend, 1,000+ researchers, builders, founders, funders, and artists are taking over @frontiertower in SF for 36 hours of programming, experimentation, and collective imagination across AI governance, open-source infrastructure, and coordination systems.

World-class speakers, hands-on workshops, an overnight hackathon, live public goods funding experiments, a community biolab, a 4,000 sq ft maker lab, immersive art installations, and live music into the night—all across 16 floors of one building. 🌐

Conference & hackathon are supported by @protocollabs @elevenlabs @NEARProtocol @FilFoundation @OctantApp @hypercerts @humntech @bittensor @solana @activeloop @vesslai @velda_io @NomadicML @unbrowse & more.

In partnership with @torproject @internetarchive @foresightinst @AAI_Society @ethereumsf @UNICEFinnovate @metagov_project @founding
