5 OpenClaw agents run my home, finances, and code | Jesse Genet
- Release Time: 2026-02-25 21:04 Beijing Time
- Summary: - Jesse Genet is a homeschooling parent and entrepreneur who manages her household with five specialized OpenClaw agents.
- She layers them on top of her Obsidian “second brain,” deploys each agent on its own Mac Mini, and assigns each a unique role—homeschool, finance, scheduling, development, and operations—so each agent has a clear scope and responsibilities.
- Listen or watch on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts What you’ll learn: - How Jesse set up five OpenClaw agents, each with its own role, persona, SOUL.md file, and dedicated Mac Mini - The workflow of photographing an entire curriculum book and having an agent generate formatted, ready-to-use lesson plans from the images - Using a coding agent to build a custom kids’ TV app from scratch and ship it to a real TV in four days (with zero prior terminal experience) - Why Jesse treats agent onboarding like employee onboarding - The “decision document” trick and other incantations for managing agents that actually stick - Where multi-agent collaboration breaks down and why current messaging platforms don’t handle handoffs between agents well - How photographing every toy, book, and supply in the house allows the AI to recommend real physical materials during curriculum planning - The hands-free printing loop that gets Jesse from scan → upload → email → print to “Sylvie, print this” in 30 seconds flat.

How to use AI for your next job interview
- Publication Time: 2026-02-24 21:45 Beijing Time
- Summary: - Every week, I answer reader questions about building products, driving growth, and accelerating careers.
- One of the most common questions I see in this community is how AI is affecting the interview process, for both interviewers and hiring managers.
- To find the answer, my head of community research, Noam Segal, interviewed dozens of current and recent job seekers, as well as hiring managers, to understand how AI is changing both sides of the hiring process.
- Part 1 of the findings from this research (below) focuses on job seekers, and the approach Noam took here is quite remarkable.

🎙️ This week on How I AI: How Notion’s design team uses Claude Code to design
- Posted: 2026-02-24 00:02 Beijing Time
- Summary: - “I haven’t written a single line of front-end code in 3 months”: How Notion’s design team uses Claude Code to design. Presented by: - WorkOS — Make your app enterprise-ready in minutes. - Orkes — The enterprise platform for reliable applications and agentic workflows. Notion’s Product Designer, Brian Lovin, built a shared, AI-powered “prototype playground” that allows the entire design team to turn Figma designs into working code using Claude Code.
- Instead of being stuck with static mockups, the team prototypes directly in a shared Next.js environment connected to a real AI model, allowing them to test ideas in the browser, catch edge cases early, and design for what’s actually possible.
- In this episode, Brian details how the system works, how he uses planning mode, slash commands, and custom Claude skills to automate repetitive tasks, and why his core rule for using AI is simple: When Claude asks you to do something, teach it to do that thing itself.
- Detailed workflow walkthroughs from this episode: • How Notion uses AI to design: Brian Lovin’s Prototype Playground and Claude Code workflow: • Automate your Git and deployment workflows with custom AI commands: - - • Build an AI workflow that turns Figma designs into code with a self-correction loop: - - • Rapidly build interactive prototypes from an idea using Claude Code: - - The biggest takeaway: - Design is shifting towards code-first prototyping.
- While Brian still spends 60% to 70% of his time in Figma, he believes it’s increasingly necessary for designers to understand the actual capabilities of AI models.

- What Happened: ByteDance released Seedance 2.0, which can generate cinematic videos from simple prompts.
- Why Important: This marks a significant breakthrough in the quality and ease of use of text-to-video generation technology, potentially lowering the barrier to cinematic content creation and demonstrating ByteDance’s strong competitiveness in the field of generative AI.
- Discussion Overview: Discussions mainly revolve around whether the actual quality of its generated videos meets “cinematic” standards, comparisons with existing leading models like Sora, and the potential impact and transformation this technology could bring to the video content creation industry.
Today’s AI Public Opinion Summary on X Link to heading
Today’s main line of AI public opinion on the X platform focuses on the rapid progress of generative AI technology and its profound impact on socio-economics. On the one hand, there is a general industry consensus that AI is reshaping business operations and content creation (such as image and video generation) with unprecedented efficiency, but this has also raised concerns about large-scale layoffs and labor market transformation. On the other hand, discussions on the ethical boundaries of AI, autonomy in military applications, and whether the industry has a bubble show clear divergences, exemplified by Anthropic’s refusal of the Pentagon’s request and Binance founder’s monitoring of overheating phenomena.
