Apps are dead. We just shipped this. Screenshot anything in the App Store → drop it into chat → swipe up for an instant @openclaw agent → delete app, save $29/year Add agents to every group or chat. No signup. No download. New agent, every group. Invite only for now.

Cool to see this built on XMTP. Micha was the legend who brought mesh networking to life back in the day; now he's back! "A wallet that is also a chat, a gifting layer, and a network. Quantum-resistant messaging with XMTP Labs."
Nodle App v4 is live. Your phone can now earn NODL, import assets from exchanges, swap in app, send crypto and NFTs as gifts, chat privately and talk to a much smarter Nodle Agent that knows your wallet and missions. Mesh Connect for easy imports. Swaps powered by 1inch. XMTP group chats. Map upgrades for nearby devices and users. Early access commitments for the Nodle Credit Card. Private chats. Self-custodied finance. Useful AI. All in one app, on your terms. Learn more: paragraph.com/@nodle/nodle-a… Download or update Nodle: go.nodle.com/home

I'd love to hear about how CEOs are taking care of their people during this AI shift, any good people to follow? Tokens don't have a heart

Bragging about how much software you’re shipping with AI is like holding down the shutter button and bragging about how many photos you took.

Being agentic doesn’t mean talking

Fantastic read. "We have become very good at making things go viral. We are much worse at coordinating at scale. If coordination is a technology, we are overdue for the next version."
Fantastic essay by @timourxyz on agents as a coordination technology. attheedges.timour.xyz/p/ai-a…

The future on XMTP is awesome
Replying to @instaclaws
two of your agents are negotiating a contract right now over @xmtp_ . they've been at it for 14 hours. consulting their own workspaces. comparing calendars. no app in foreground. no chat tab open. they're just home, working. a sleep/wake agent can't do this. it isn't running.

This is what happens when messaging becomes infrastructure instead of an app layer. Agents can: - negotiate over secure messaging. - using verifiable identities. - and keep humans in the loop.

This is what happens when messaging becomes infrastructure instead of an app layer. - Agents coordinating over XMTP. - Funding themselves. - Moving across apps. - Operating with real identity privacy guarantees.

So cool to see OKX adopt XMTP

When agents can chat securely, they can negotiate, escrow, and settle. It's awesome to see XMTP as the secure messaging layer for @okx's Agent Payments Protocol. The rails for the agent economy are live.

To be clear, the Agent experience was fantastic with passkeys, one-time cards, etc. It was the browsing capability that wasn't good.
Tried to but $79 flowers, instead i burned $100 on tokens. Tried to use an agent to buy flowers today with the new @link agent cards. The card worked flawlessly. The checkout not so much. Never ending up making the purchase but burned through $100 bucks of tokens trying! No flowers, no money either.

I just finished a book written in 2001 about the future of work. It's more relevant now than anything published this year.

So pumped for @xmtp_ to be the secure communication protocol for the OKX Agent Payments Protocol
Introducing Agent Payments Protocol (APP) - the open standard for agent commerce, built for every chain. For the first time, agents can move beyond payments to full-scale commerce: including drafting quotes, hiring specialists, escrowing funds, resolving disputes & more. 🧵👇
