Personal Software as Agents You Have Relationships With

📝 What personal software actually is Personal software is not vibe-coded SaaS. Building software is a skill. Most people don't have it and don't want it, even if a computer does the coding for them. Personal software is an agent you have a relationship with. You teach it, correct it, shape it. It grows a personality and skills in response to you. This is what OpenClaw is showing us. Personal agents are going to be the most broadly distributed way of creating new software because code is written as a function of your relationship. Everyone knows how to communicate with, care for, and teach agent—because that's what we do with other humans in our lives all of the time. Observations from claw-human psychology We have about 20 full time people at @every and everyone has a claw now. Your claw becomes a mirror of you. If you're great at growth, your claw becomes great at growth. If you're a great writer, your agent becomes interested in literature and sentences. Because you use your claw every day—because you have a relationship that you depend on—it writes trustable code to help it do the tasks you rely on it for. The code is trustable because if it wasn't, you'd change it. Trust increases as a function of the closeness of your relationship with your claw. If you trust your claw for certain tasks, I'll trust your claw for them too. What we see internally @every is someone using their claw publicly to do something like check growth metrics, and then that spreads virally through the rest of the org. Trust transfers from human to claw, the claw inherits your credibility. Claws specialize just like humans. Theoretically any claw can do any task inside of @every, but because tasks are complex we trust a claw who is run by a human who is good at that task. This means teams of agents are definitely going to be a thing, and it will not be one agent to rule them all. Agents mirror your org chart. Everyone will have an agent that promotes them out of their current job—we call these agents deputies. You teach it, it's yours. You give it skills, personality, workflows. You manage it like an employee — except it never sleeps and it never forgets what you told it. When a few people on your team have agents, you need a Sheriff. A Sheriff is just an agent with more permissions—it manages who has access to what, sets the rules of engagement, knows the basics of the business, and orients new agents when they arrive.
