Personal Agents and Clanker Therapy5:59 – 9:05

C

ChrisHost

5:59

We're going to start with some good news.

C

ChrisHost

6:10

All right, allow me to set the scene for just a moment.

C

ChrisHost

6:13

Personal agents are all the rage yet again.

C

ChrisHost

6:16

We started the year with OpenClaw and then Hermes, and then the hype kind of died down.

C

ChrisHost

6:21

And now we're rounding out the year with Grokbot, Muse, and now from OpenAI as of an hour ago, Dots.

C

ChrisHost

6:29

And all of these are persistent, always on.

C

ChrisHost

6:33

agents that they want to be your personal assistant.

C

ChrisHost

6:35

So they make it really easy to connect to your email and your calendar and your messages.

C

ChrisHost

6:39

And then it can, for example, like I experimented yesterday with Muse.

C

ChrisHost

6:44

And I had it connect to my Gmail, which is always a little dicey.

C

ChrisHost

6:48

But the first thing I had to do was go through and find reoccurring receipts, monthly receipts that land in my inbox.

C

ChrisHost

6:55

And let's find a service we can cancel.

C

ChrisHost

6:58

And it found Nintendo Online, which I just really haven't been using very much.

C

ChrisHost

7:01

And it renewed in six days.

C

ChrisHost

7:03

And I had two days to cancel it.

A

AngelaHost

7:05

Oh, wow.

C

ChrisHost

7:06

Yeah.

C

ChrisHost

7:07

So I went in and canceled it.

C

ChrisHost

7:08

It was like a, you know, it's like a hundred dollar renewal.

C

ChrisHost

7:10

Yeah.

C

ChrisHost

7:10

Yeah.

A

AngelaHost

7:11

Yeah.

C

ChrisHost

7:12

So

A

AngelaHost

7:12

low cost overall, but really not using it.

A

AngelaHost

7:14

Yeah.
