I expect OpenClaw was a huge influence on this, and on Claude Cowork too.

OpenClaw demonstrated that there was enormous existing demand for general agent functionality, such that people would buy a whole Mac mini just to get access to this shape of tool.

Didn't OpenAI hire him? I thought it was not a secret that OpenClaw was the biggest influence.

I mean, it's all just tool calls and context-management in the end. Like it is pretty self-evident to have a "heartbeat" and to do specific stuff on a schedule, etc.
