OpenClaw can do a lot, but it shouldn't have access to your tokens

OpenClaw (a.k.a. Moltbot, a.k.a. ClawdBot) went viral and became one of the most popular agentic harnesses in a matter of days. Peter Steinberger had a successful exit from PSPDFKit, and felt empty until the undeniable potential of AI sparked renewed motivation to build. And he's doing it it non-stop. OpenClaw approaches the idea of an Personal AI agent as a harness that communicates with you (or multiple users) in any of the supported channels in multiple sessions connected to the underlying

Agent Auth: The Problem That Kills Production Agents

Your agent needs to pull data from Google Drive, post a summary to Slack, and create a Jira ticket. Simple request. But whose credentials does it use? Should it have permission to delete your entire Drive folder? This authorization problem kills agent demos before they reach production. It's not about users logging into your agent (LangGraph Platform handles that). It's about your agent accessing other services on behalf of those users. If you're building real agents, you've hit this wall. The

The 3-Agent Pattern: How Chex Built a Full-Stack Mental Health Assistant

Most AI agents are glorified chatbots. Chex just won a hackathon by building three specialized agents that actually book therapy appointments. Not suggest. Not recommend. Actually book — complete with calendar invites and email confirmations. Here's the pattern they discovered that you can steal for your own agent systems. Want to skip to the code? Check out our Quickstart or get your Arcade.dev API key to build authenticated agents in minutes. The Problem: Single Agents Hit Walls Traditio

How to choose the best Agentic Framework, Part 2: Agentic Delegation

In the previous post in this series, we explored Human-in-the-Loop. Here, we’re exploring Handoffs, which I prefer to call “Agentic Delegation” This post is a companion to a video, I encourage you to watch it! Here’s the experiment setup I’m using the same agentic system. I implemented the same system using three different Frameworks: * LangGraph * OpenAI’s Agents SDK * Google’s Agent Development Kit (ADK) In all cases, the agent uses a “supervisor” architecture, where a single agent re

How to choose the best Agentic Framework, Part 1: Human in the Loop

As I build agents every day, I get to see Agentic Frameworks evolve different approaches to solve the same core issues of agentic orchestration. Fundamentally, the differences come down to how the framework designers think about the common building blocks of an agentic system. Unfortunately, they all come with disparate terminology and adopt jargon that makes this seem more complicated than it really is. I feel this is creating a bit of a decision block, especially in beginners. This series of b

Simplifying Google Calendar + Telegram Integration: A Developer's Guide

As the world becomes more and more agentic, it’s important to meet your users where they are, and this usually means providing them with polished UX in whatever communication platforms they use on a daily basis: * WhatsApp * Email * Telegram * Discord * Slack Adding a chatbot experience to chat-like interfaces is usually pretty easy. I just pick one of the existing LLM clients, add my API Key, a nice system prompt, and let users chat away. However, things quickly become complex if the age

How to Build A User-Friendly UI for LangChain's Social Media Agent with Easy Notion Integration

LangChain's Social Media Agent is a fantastic tool. It allows you to take a list of links – maybe articles you've read, interesting projects, or company blog posts – and automatically generate engaging social media updates. Imagine processing 50 links and scheduling them out over the next few weeks. You could go on vacation knowing your social media feed remains active and consistent with content you've already approved. That's powerful automation! The Challenge: The Terminal Barrier While po

OpenAI Agents SDK: How to Build a Multi-Agent System for Gmail and Slack

Multi-agent AI systems represent one of the most significant advances in practical AI applications today. Unlike traditional single-agent approaches, multi-agent systems distribute complex tasks across specialized agents, each handling what they do best. In this article, we'll explore a practical example that uses specialized agents with access to Gmail and Slack tools. This involves the integration of two frameworks. The OpenAI Agents SDK will run and orchestrate the agents, and Arcade will
