📝 The Lobster Internet
Big news fro Kimi, you can now deploy OpenClaw to Kimi in seconds on the cloud (not mac mini required). You get a 24/7 AI assistant without a terminal in sight and . Feels like something anyone would use.
Got me thinking of how this whole openclawification of the internet might play out. I call it the lobster internet:
phase 1 - hackers at home
openclaw runs on mac minis, raspberry pis, homelabs. tinkerers wire telegram bots and local models together. messy, powerful, niche. not for mass market yet
phase 2 - “claws” hosted in the cloud
kimi and others put openclaw-style agents in the browser with storage, skill libraries, uptime. agents become accessible to anyone with a tab open.
phase 3 - multi-model orchestration
anthropic, openai, google, grok etc all ship hosted agent layers. model wars move from “who’s smarter” to “who orchestrates better" because thats what really drives output fro 2026 and beyond
phase 4 - verticalized bundles
real estate bundles. ecommerce growth bundles. hedge fund research bundles. pre-wired workflows + memory + distribution. plug in and go. tons of opportunities here for founders. adding some of these ideas on Ideabrowser.com
phase 5 - agent as employee
agents get job titles: researcher, growth lead, qa tester, ops manager. dashboards show output per agent. founders manage clusters/
phase 6 - agents as the new saas
instead of paying for tools, you pay for outcomes. so instead of buying “crm software” you'd rather buy “an agent that closes 20 deals/month.” software shifts from interface to executor.
phase 7 - outcome-based pricing
agents charge per lead booked, bug fixed, page ranked, deal sourced. subscriptions fade. performance pricing expands.
phase 8 - personal agent layer
every operator has a persistent agent that knows their style, context, network, data. it travels across tools. it drafts, negotiates, researches, builds.
