OpenClaw Was the WordPress Moment (3 minute read)

OpenClaw showed the promise of autonomous AI agents but failed in production due to context management, non-determinism, weak tooling, and model limitations. Fully agentic systems are fragile, with real-world use cases relying on structured workflows plus LLM steps rather than pure autonomy. Next wave shifts to vertical “agent harnesses” that package domain-specific context, reliability, and infra into usable products.
