3 predictions from my last 2 months using Claude Code and Openclaw

1. The next frontier for software is the agentic OS - Openclaw was the poc
The agentic OS will have native agent frameworks, intuitive and easily-configured harnesses, persistent memory via robust file systems and knowledge graphs, and security at its core.
2. The agentic workforce is real - we will all be managers of agents
The tools may change but we’re not putting the agents back in the bag. Best to just lean into this now and extract edge while it lasts.
3. We will all soon have local models at home that we interact with via voice (similar to Alexa) and via secure text gateways
This may seem obvious, but the models are getting to the point where the can run on a home device that will cost <$1k, soon we’ll just get a plug-n-play device that just works out of the box.
I’d bet the farm on any one of these
