If Google can’t make AI agents useful, maybe no one can
Google has been working on agentic AI for years. Building on the viral success of OpenClaw could finally tip the scales.
AI Summary
Tech firms have long promised AI personal assistants that can handle everyday tasks, yet most products released so far have behaved more like “clueless interns.” In the last six months, that trend has begun to shift. The change is largely attributed to the viral open‑source AI agent platform OpenClaw, which has demonstrated more reliable, task‑oriented performance. OpenClaw’s community‑driven development has accelerated the creation of agents that can execute complex instructions and learn from user interactions. This shift suggests that open‑source solutions may be driving the next wave of practical AI assistants.
