All right, everybody, welcome back to Twist. It is Friday, February 20th. Today we are going to continue talking about Open Claw. My co-host Lon Harris is with us again, and we've been talking a lot about setting up OpenClaw safely. We are now in week three of this incredible transition, this incredible paradigm shift.

to having agents going out and doing real world things for you. We call them replicants here on the show. And today we have three builders who are going to show us how to maximize your OpenClaw output because OpenClaw burns a lot of tokens very quickly and it gets very expensive. As we talked about on the All-In podcast, there's a viral clip of me and Shamoff talking about, hey, these tokens, Lon, could outpace the actual salary of a developer very quickly the way this is going.
