no doubt, thats a clear winner all the way. Also the likes of OpenAI, Anthropic .. but then it seems even those helping agents deploy will be a huge

OpenClaw’s popularity signaled real willingness to pay, but the explosion of generated code only matters when apps stay deployed and used. The blog frames software in three layers: deployment, generated code, and third-party capabilities. They predict strongest growth in Layer 1 and Layer 3 “picks and shovels,” plus integration/governance glue.

still don't get what ppl are using it for.

We are in 2026, AI is all around, and we still need to accept Google doing this?

it doesn't work in chrome either

vercel is better, you can choose any provider you want. not locked in to a single provider. Apache license

I hope you were not one of those who applied for the startup accel at openai, it seems they just pulled the rug from under those startups by building what they were.

Is there a place to change the endpoint url? It seems we just add the workflow id and generates a secret which is used by the frontend. Apache license is good though

Note that their basic example in the readme starts with `OpenAI(api_key=os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"])`

Generally speaking, in most regular usages, you can replace it with an alternative provider like Openrouter, with `OpenAI( base_url="https://openrouter.ai/api/v1", api_key="<OPENROUTER_API_KEY>")`

But I haven't tested chatkit yet and don't know if it might be using special endpoints that are currently only supported by OpenAI. IANAL, but would assume though that if the client is Apache licensed, then it wouldn't be an issue for Openrouter and others AI providers to develop their own versions of those endpoints.

Maybe I'm overly optimistic, but based on what I'm seeing with MCP and other recent developments, the industry is continuously gravitating towards a commoditized/interchangeable future where no provider has a structural moat.

It supports vanilla Js, so that covers all frameworks. I see your pain, I built predictabledialogs.com and didn't expect OpenAI to do a no code builder and a chat widget. eeks I was hoping they will aim for AGI while we do the boring work.

This is my blog, trying to articulate and improve my understanding in the age of Gen ai.

What I don't understand is how can companies like Profound measure the real value of brand mentions in AI responses. Isn't the chat access only with the AI companies?

PS: In this blog I have mentioned that llms.txt is an index analogous to robots.txt. This is incorrect and I would change it.

It uses the openAI assistant, which uses threads to pass in a conversation history. So yes it does maintain conversation history.
