How I am using Clawdbot (Moltbot)

Moltbot fka ClawdBot has been the rage among generative AI enthusiasts for the past few weeks, and I too have been caught up in it.

Simply put, it is what “smart AI assistant” can look like. You tell it things, it figures out a way to do it. You give it “tools” and access to data, it can figure out more things.

This is what Apple Siri should / could have been at the very least.

There are plenty of articles out there telling how to set it up, and how those individuals are using it. So, I’m not trying to write one more of those. With this post, and following ones, I want to capture how I have been using Clawd^HMolt.

I talk to moltbot over WhatsApp.

One of the first thing I did was to use Molt as a my daily link/read-later aggregator. I share links throughout the day using whatsapp. I have instructed molt to present all of them to me in a digest at 7pm.

In addition, I have given access to my pinboard with an API key. The daily summary also includes links saved there.

I have also told molt to send me a couple of daily “motivations” at 7am. These are things I want to remember. For example: “Seek Delight!” :)

I wanted to use email. mostly by forwarding some of my emails to a dedicated account molt has access to and use the top-quote text as instructions to molt. But, setting up an email is such a pain these days. Gmail has made it very difficult. Still figuring that out.

More to come.
