Curious to hear stories or experience regarding using agentic ai in the search process. Have you heard of anyone doing it well if so? And how? With the recent hype of OpenClaw, there seems to be some progression on that end for Agentic ai. Has anyone used Claude Code for their process? Outreach, organization, admin work, etc. I am going full steam ahead on learning these skills - enough to be dangerous at least (learning safely, with a mac mini..), as the tech progresses I feel like the skills a non technical founder will have developed through learning to navigate the agentic ai feild early on will greatly outweigh the upfront cost in capital, time, and energy to get it back tenfold. For technical founders - would love to hear more about your thoughts on this and experience.

Claude Code is amazing, and probably the best path to start with. Even though it's designed for coding, it still has the full power of Claude behind it and it has access to whatever you give it access to. It can read your files, and search the web. Right there you have a tool that starts to feel like an intern. You want to give it very specific instructions just as you would an intern. Openclaw has consumed the media attention but I feel strongly unless you are extremely technical, and understand the security concerns, you are much better off with Claude Code. Plus Anthropic has or is in the process of releasing Cowork which is basically Claude code for everything non-coding related. PDFs, word and excel, and anything else on your machine.

Primarily doing this with Claude and Claude code today. Haven't gone down the Clawdbot / Moltbot path for security reasons. You can build something pretty easily that automates most of it.
