At the end of January 2026, an open-source project by Austrian developer Peter Steinberger went viral. OpenClaw (formerly Clawdbot, then Moltbot after a trademark complaint from Anthropic) allowed millions of people to experience for the first time what a personal AI agent can really do.

The magic formula: why a less good professional surpasses you (and how to prevent that)

I was recently doing an analysis that would normally have taken me half a day. To be honest, I had already postponed it a few times because I didn't feel like it. Collecting and exporting data from different sources, merging, research, recognizing patterns, making connections, writing a clear story. Now it took me less than an hour. And the result was better than what I made in half a day.

AI Search: visibility is a solution, not a strategy

Since ChatGPT and other AI tools emerged as search platforms, a whole new industry has emerged: Generative Engine Optimization, or GEO (we prefer to call it AI Search). The promise is tempting. People search differently, no longer via Google but on ChatGPT and similar. So you need to track your “AI visibility”. Optimize your content for LLMs. And pay a hefty monthly subscription for it.

It's time to rethink how AI and you will do your work

In one year, AI went from a useful tool in a chatbot to a system that does my job better than I do on many fronts. This is the story of that tipping point, why it applies to every field, and what we are going to do about it.
