Claire Vo is the host of our sister podcast, “How I AI,” a former product executive and engineer, and founder of an AI startup called ChatPRD. Claire now runs her business, podcast, and family life with the help of nine OpenClaw agents running on multiple Mac Minis and old laptops. In this episode, Claire shares her journey from OpenClaw skeptic (it deleted her family calendar the first time she tried it) to true believer, and gives a masterclass in using AI agents in real life. *We discuss:* 1. The exact step-by-step process to install and set up OpenClaw (it’s easier than you think) 2. How to avoid the biggest OpenClaw mistakes (don’t install it on your main computer) 3. Actual use cases that have changed Claire’s life (e.g. family scheduling, inbound sales, podcast prep, and course management) 4. Why multiple specialized agents beat one general-purpose agent 5. The security risks everyone worries about—and how to handle them 6. Browser limitations, memory issues, and practical work
