#103: The Executive Function Copilot: Open Claw and Claude

Well, AI in executive functions has kind of gone to the next level again.

It happened in January.

There was a quiet shift that happened and it started with developers and is now sort of trickling out to developers.

more switched on techie people and it will gradually trickle out to regular folk probably over the next year.

Well, definitely over the next year, they'll become more aware of this.

So this is kind of breaking, you know, depends what type of person you are.

Basically, what's happened is we're used to chatting with AI,

okay, in the chat interface.

And so AI will happily advise you or create some piece of content or whatever, but it doesn't do stuff for you.

OK, and part of executive function is getting stuff done.

It's kind of like, are you going to stay focused on what are your priorities or are you going to just get distracted and do other things like go on your phone and do what Facebook wants you to do or Instagram wants you to do? Or are you going to do what you want to do? And fundamentally, I think of executive functions as the ability to orchestrate your own life as an executive.

to get what you want done or to be who you want, you know, so do, be, feel.

All this is directing your energies in the direction you choose as the executive of your life.

So interesting.

You're almost saying if you can do what you want, even if you can't do it, if you want to do it, you can do it because you can offload it onto AI.

There's a lot more you can now offload onto AI.

I'll give you an example.

Claude came out with CoWork, okay? So we know we've got Claude Chat.

So if you go into Claude, it's like ChatGPT, it's their version.

It's Anthropic's version called Claude, okay? And you can go in there and chat normally.

We all know about that.

But they've introduced this thing called co-work.

Okay.

And it starts to work with you as a co-worker.

Okay.
