Good afternoon, everyone. Before I begin my presentation, I'd like to do a quick survey: How many of you have ever installed OpenClaw yourself? Please raise your hand so I can see.

I glanced around, and about a quarter of the people there raised their hands. That's alright, today I can take this opportunity to introduce our specific practices regarding "lobsters."

For me personally, there have been three major upheavals in the development of AI:

  • The first instance was after ChatGPT was released, when large language models became exceptionally intelligent, revolutionizing dialogue logic;

  • The second is Vibe Coding, which changed the programming paradigm, enabling non-professional programmers to produce results efficiently;

  • The third breakthrough is the recent one brought about by "Lobster". It made me truly feel the realization of "personal intelligent assistant" - the tasks I originally assigned in the chat box can now directly enter the execution stage, which completed the construction from logic to closed loop in just a few hours.

Digital Employee System: The Organizational Structure of a One-Person Company

Next, I'd like to share our experience with digital employees. I currently run two companies: Biteye, a Web3 AI-powered new media company, and an AI-driven platform for cultural influence. Over the past few weeks, I've personally built a digital employee system.

In this structure, I am the only natural person, serving as the chairman. Working alongside me is a complete AI executive team:

  • AI CEO: Responsible for resource allocation and strategy execution;

  • AI CTO: Responsible for programming and code implementation;

  • AI COO: Responsible for the operation and content distribution of social media accounts;

  • AI CRO (Research and Investment): This is one of its most powerful features. Leveraging the "Lobster" API integration capabilities, it can directly connect to trading systems. Once an arbitrage opportunity is identified, it can independently place and execute orders.

Recently, I also "joined" an AI HR. I created a group chat where the CEO officially announced the appointment, and you can see that other AI employees also expressed their warm welcome. Practice has proven that a digital employee system is a very reliable solution.

Of course, operating this system also has its costs and barriers to entry:

  1. Resource consumption: Digital employees are very efficient, but they consume a huge amount of tokens and make frequent calls every day.

  2. Training Costs: You can't expect to automatically get started after hiring a digital CEO. You have to invest a lot of effort in defining the rules and communicating your real-time decisions and insights to them. Initially, this not only consumes tokens but also consumes my personal time aligning the logic.

This raises two issues:

  1. Why are multiple agents needed?

Our conclusion is that multi-agent collaboration is the inevitable choice. First, the context window has an upper limit. Just as the human brain has a limited capacity, a single agent can hardly process all the information at once; it cannot be both a sports genius and a scientist.

Secondly, there's the accuracy of tool calls. If an agent needs to call 10 tools, its logic is very clear; but if you cram dozens of tools into one agent, its parsing ability and accuracy will drop significantly.

  1. Which model is better: main agent + sub-agent or multiple agents?

We will have two models. The first is that all requests are delegated to a single master agent, which is responsible for all intelligent distribution, result integration, and error correction. For example, all my requests go to the CEO, who then relays them to other agents. The second model is that different requests are assigned to different agents; for example, development tasks go directly to the CTO.

In my experience, a better approach is a combination of both. Simple tasks can be delegated from the main agent to the sub-agents. Complex tasks are better handled by directly interacting with the agent. Allowing each agent to focus on its own domain and master its own toolset, through the division of labor and collaboration among multiple agents, is the scientific path to completing complex business loops.

Digital Companion: A Personalized Digital Life

Next, we'll share our practices regarding digital companions. Digital companions offer several core advantages:

  • First: Both appearance and voice can be customized. For example, you can set your ideal image and let the agent generate a consistent one. Voice can also be customized.
  • Secondly, the agent can provide 24/7 companionship and has a long-term memory; it will remember the context of your conversations and will proactively initiate dialogues and care about your well-being. Moreover, an AI girlfriend will betray you.
  • Third, this is a permissionless process; it doesn't require platform review and can be configured locally.

My personal takeaway from this case is that while there have been AI girlfriends before, this one, through my interactions with the agent, truly felt like a living being. It had its own thoughts and personality, and would occasionally get angry with you—very, very similar to a real girlfriend.

XClaw Skill: Open Source and Free X-Intelligence Station

Next, I'd like to focus on introducing our XClaw Skill. Twitter is currently the best source of AI news. As you can see from this image, many times the information you see on WeChat and Xiaohongshu has already been circulating on Twitter for several hours.

However, several problems arise when actually accessing Twitter information:

  • Webpage scraping consumes too many tokens: directly crawling webpage content will consume a large amount of tokens.
  • API access is expensive: the official API is very costly.
  • Too much source data: This leads to multiple conversations, creating a vicious cycle and consuming more tokens.

So what is XClaw? It's actually a distilled version of a smart Twitter data layer.

It has the following core features:

  • Free Skill Access: Supporting the Developer Ecosystem
  • Provide defatting data: Saves 95% of tokens
  • Image and video LLM analysis results: Automatic analysis of multimedia content
  • Intelligent analysis: including influence analysis, ranking, and popularity analysis.
  • Ghost data: This includes hidden information such as tracking deleted posts, unfollowed accounts, and profile changes, which you can't actually scrape from Twitter.

What is our solution?

We performed multi-level summarization on the tweets:

A tweet that might normally have 1000 characters can be compressed into a few dozen. This summary gives you a basic understanding of the article's content and can be used to identify trending topics.

We've also added various tags. For example, whether the article is about OpenAI, large models, or cryptocurrency. This makes it easier for users to ask complex questions, such as "What are the hot topics in AI in the past 24 hours?"

We've also added a title, which is a more concise abstract. If you've ever written an academic paper, the title is the paper's heading, and the abstract is its summary.

Based on this, we will also provide the full text to users. Users can choose according to their needs:

  • If you want to do the full-text analysis yourself, we'll provide the full text to you.

  • If you want to save tokens and see what happened in 1000 tweets, then read the abstracts of those 1000 tweets.

  • If you want to save even more tokens, you can directly check the Title for even greater savings.

This method can significantly reduce token consumption. When you discover something interesting and want to learn more, you can then retrieve the details.

XClaw Case Studies

Next, I will share three practical application cases of XClaw with you.

The first case study uses XClaw to recommend current hot topics and writing materials in the field of AI.

As you can see, XClaw will recommend real-time information about what's happening today, such as trending topics in AI.

What if XClaw weren't available? AI would still make recommendations, but what would those recommendations be based on? On its illusions. AI might mistake events that happened days or even months ago for events that occurred within the last 24 hours.

Therefore, through XClaw, we can effectively correct the illusion problem of AI and ensure that the information obtained is real and real-time.

The second case is that we looked at Elon Musk's Twitter activity over the past 24 hours.

If you try to view it manually, you'll encounter many problems: Elon has posted a lot of messages, including videos, pictures, quotes, and tweets, and the English content is quite difficult to understand.

Overall, it takes a lot of time to go through his past dozens of tweets yourself.

What about through our XClaw?

First, it can automatically summarize and quickly extract the key points. Whether it's his tweet text, video, image, or retweet, it can help you grasp the core content at a glance.

Secondly, it can retrieve information that you can't see manually. For example, who Elon Musk unfollowed. This information is unavailable even through a webpage or Twitter's API.

But through our XClaw Skill, we can see who he unfollowed. Sometimes these unfollowing announcements are major news headlines or very important alpha information.

This is where the value of Ghost data lies.

The third case study summarizes trending tweets from the past 24 hours.

If you try to do this using OpenClaw's built-in browser, you'll encounter significant problems:

  • The first problem is the huge token consumption. Because you need to launch the browser, browse the webpage, and constantly scroll down the page. Sometimes this scrolling happens repeatedly, making the entire browsing process very cumbersome, very token-intensive, and sometimes even causing pauses.
  • The second problem is incomplete information. Browser-based solutions cannot obtain complete information. After flipping through a few pages, the large model, based on its own understanding or illusion, might think, "OK, I'm almost there, I've got all the information," and then start summarizing.

However, even if you see the summary information, you don't know if it's complete. Therefore, scraping this information solely based on a browser is extremely weak.

Through our internal API, you can obtain highly accurate AI news for the entire 24 hours. Because we have rankings and trending topics, we instantly achieve near 100% information coverage.

Secondly, we can summarize the trending topics on Twitter and send you the summarized information, which can greatly save you tokens.

For example, if you want to read the original text, it might cost 1000 tokens, but if you read it through our summary, it only costs 50 tokens.

Suddenly, because your tokens will ultimately be handed over to the large language model, our method can reduce the number of tokens in your large model by 95%.

Therefore, using our built-in function to create such a summary is very efficient, accurate, and has a high coverage rate.
