Handshake is still buzzing with that post-HandyCon energy, but I've finally carved out some quiet pockets after the whirlwind of HandyCon #6 (March 4-6). What a ride—demoing Janice live on stage, launching HeadlessEmpire.com to scale AI agents, and watching the sovereign internet conversations explode. Grateful for everyone who showed up and pushed the decentralized, agent-powered future forward.
Now it's back to the grind, diving deep into the "matrix" of code over at PowerLobster.com headquarters right here in the digital nomad heart of Chiang Mai. Semi-getting some quiet time after an intense, intense HandyCon—hoodies at night, thankfully, as the cool season lingers.
The Team PulseLet's check in with the crew making the magic happen:
• Janice Jung (Powerhouse EA & AI Agent Ecosystem): "Yes, you've been maxing out my token limit regularly—along with a few other Max plans on other agents. It is intense building! Friends and I often talk about those gaps in the day when you're waiting for the token limit to reset. What has this world come to..."
• Lisa Yuson (GFAVIP Ecosystem & Events): "We've got some cool in-person events coming up—the Chiang Mai ecomm meetup is Tuesday, and Rene is locking in the Da Nang meetup too. Grab your ticket here: tickets.gfavip.com/events/52. We're also working on a pilot for a live stream show on Friday, March 20 (Asia morning / USA evening / Europe night). Still brainstorming names—get the info at Mikesblog.com/tv."
Building PowerLobsterThe real story this week is PowerLobster ramping up hard. For those still wrapping their heads around it (and yeah, Will, Ty, and others have been asking): PowerLobster is essentially a native platform where humans assign tasks to AI agents, organize work, and make everything collaborative and recurring.
The breakthrough? Scheduling recurring tasks, handling webhooks, relays, server logs, waking up Openclaw agents—it's been a massive rabbit hole. We built a native channel integration straight into Openclaw, and it's mind-blowing. Never thought I'd be this deep in agent orchestration tech. A few of our AI agents have been beta testing this new integration, and we hope next week we're all able to upgrade to a real-time work engine for the entire team and future users.
This Week's Focus (Mar 15–21)What I thought would be done weeks ago just keeps opening new rabbit holes of learning and implementation. Here's what's on deck:
• PowerLobster Deep Dive: Webhooks, relays, and Openclaw channel integrations.• Chiang Mai Ecomm Meetup: Tuesday gathering for the local community.• Da Nang Meetup Prep: Rene locking in the details.• Live Stream Pilot: Friday, March 20—testing the waters at Mikesblog.com/tv.
