Say a Prayer for This Startup That's Replacing Its Developers With OpenClaw
"Vinay Pinnaka, cofounder and CTO of JustPaid, stated that they built the agents by combining OpenClaw's capabilities with Anthropic's AI coding tool Claude Code. OpenClaw functions as the 'brain that decides what needs to happen,' while Claude Code serves as 'the hands that do the coding work.'"
"The company claims that the AI agents have built ten major features in just a month since deployment, each of which would have taken human developers a month to complete."
"Pinnaka expressed a desire to automate customer request handling, stating, 'Once [AI] gets to the stage where it is able to handle human empathy, I would be able to say, 'I can replace everyone with AI.''"
"With only nine employees at JustPaid, three of whom are cofounders, the AI bots nearly equal the human workforce, raising concerns for the six non-cofounders about their job security."
OpenClaw is an open-source AI agent that automates programming tasks, embraced by JustPaid to create a team of seven AI agents. These agents, combined with Anthropic's Claude Code, have reportedly built ten major features in a month, tasks that would take human developers significantly longer. JustPaid employs only nine people, with AI agents nearly matching human staff. Concerns arise about job security as the co-founder expresses interest in further automating human roles, particularly those requiring empathy.
