How To Leverage OpenClaw - Roland (JWP 118)

In this episode I spoke with Roland. He run's me through how he's used OpenClaw, and Bitcoin, to create an open‑source personal assistant, that runs on its own LN‑VPS server, pays for AI model usage via Pay‑Per‑Q, and can autonomously spawn new agents to handle tasks like email, GitHub, and continuous research. He also explains how Alby’s self‑custodial Alby Hub ties all Lightning‑enabled apps together, making Bitcoin the native currency for everyday software. Listeners will learn how to boost productivity, automate workflows, and build Bitcoin‑first products using always‑on AI agents without sacrificing privacy. The future is already here, most just don't realise it yet…
