Jarvis, Tony Stark’s AI, wasn’t a chatbot you asked for a summary; He was an agent who operated systems, launched diagnostics, and executed actions while Stark focused on saving the world (among many other things).
This paradigm of “Delegated Computing” is no longer science fiction. It is called Agentic AI and its greatest viral exponent today is OpenClaw (formerly Moltbot and before Clawdbot). It is not “another ChatGPT”; It is an architectural change in how we interact with software.
Beyond Hype
What makes OpenClaw different? Unlike traditional models that reside in silos in the cloud, OpenClaw lives on your local machine or a VPS server and has “hands.”
Real Execution: You don’t just write code; opens the terminal, runs scripts, manages files and deploys containers.
Persistent Memory: no amnesia. Store your preferences and business contexts in local files, learning from each interaction to anticipate the next.
Proactivity: thanks to its heartbeat engine, it doesn’t wait for you to ask it. It can send you a morning briefing or alert you if an SAP KPI deviates from what is expected.
The challenge: Is it a risk or a competitive advantage?
Yes, OpenClaw has had security issues: from exposed interfaces to storing credentials in plain text. But this is where our vision as consultants comes in: the problem is not autonomy, it is the government.
For a manager, the risk is not AI, but “Shadow AI.” Banning these tools is like trying to ban Excel in the 90s. The key is secularization and Corporate Governance:
Isolated Environments: run these agents in Sandboxes or Docker containers.
Principle of least privilege: Use restricted tokens so that AI acts only where it should.
Human-in-the-loop: Set up approval signatures for critical or high-cost actions.
The future is agentic
We will move from operating systems to monitoring results, this means having agents who orchestrate processes from start to finish, freeing up teams for high-value tasks. Moltbot is just the first step, somewhat rough but brilliant, towards that Jarvis that we all want in our organization.
