OpenClaw has been pretty handy quite lately. I can text it from anywhere, on any device. It sends me a news briefing every morning, plans healthy walks including weather-appropriate clothing and is keeping me apprised of the progress of a stereo I ordered from Japan. It takes my chaotic thoughts, turns them into clean Markdown and emails them to relevant people. And it’s all running on a tiny $59 Arduino UNOQ board I stashed on a bookshelf.

Back in 2024, our President & CEO Cristiano Amon said, “AI is the new UI.” And it’s finally happening. Rather than poking through Web pages or shuffling apps, I’m asking an agent to do it for me and getting useful results. Cristiano dubbed this year “the year of the agents,” and that’s not about just one agent – it’s a whole category.

OpenClaw crystalized the shift from passive conversational assistants to active systems that comprehend, take action and adapt in real time. Big AI firms are now polishing the concept. I use Claude Cowork on my laptop with Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme to turn thoughts into slides — at lunch last week, my boss was actually suspicious about the leap in my PowerPoint skills.

People are even starting to figure out how to bring agentic actions into the physical world — they’ve built amazing things such as automating their smart home appliances like dimmable lights and air purifiers to sorting car parts, all triggered by a simple voice prompt. Multi-device AI experiences are the next phase of the agentic evolution.

The future of AI isn’t just faster AI; it’s AI that is personal, proactive and always works for you. How does this translate into technical capabilities? Every device, from the smallest earbuds and smartphones to the largest data centers, must feed into an ‘ecosystem of you’ with extreme power efficiency, deep context awareness and ultra-low latency. This isn’t a new challenge for us. Connected, high-performance computing across multiple devices at low power is what we do.

AI agents are starting on your PC, but they’re soon going to embrace all forms of devices to extend their capabilities – and yours. It’s truly “the year of the agents,” and we’re thrilled to enable it.
