Show HN: Mozilla.ai introduces Clawbolt, an AI Assistant for the trades
Hey everyone, Nathan here: I'm an MLE at Mozilla.ai. I can't tell you how many things around my house I've been saying "I would really like to have somebody take a look at that". But here's the problem: all the people in the trades are extremely overwhelmed with work. There is a lot to be done and not enough people to do it.
One of my best friends runs his own general contracting business. He's extremely talented and wants to spend his time working on drywall, building staircases, and listening to Mumford and Sons while throwing paint onto a ceiling. But you know what gets in the way of that wonderful lifestyle that all us software engineers dream about?
ADMINISTRATION.
He thought running his own business would be 85% show up and do the work, but turns out a large chunk of the time is spent talking to clients to schedule time to get an estimate, working with home management companies to explain the details of an invoice, and generally just manage all of the information that he's gathering on a single day.
Luckily for the world, AI is here to help with this. Tech like openclaw has really opened our eyes to the possibilities, and tech to help out small businesses like these are now within reach.
That's why I'm excited to share out an initial idea we're trying out: clawbolt. It's a python based project that takes inspiration from the main features that make openclaw so powerful: SOUL.md, heartbeat proactive communication, memory management, and communication over channels like WhatsApp and iMessage. With clawbolt, we're working on integrating our latest work with any-llm and any-guardrail, to help make clawbolt secure and to ease onboarding.
This is all new, so this is a call for ideas, usage, and bug reports. Most of us that try to get plumbers/roofers/handymen to come help us with a home project know how overwhelmed they are with admin work when they're a small team. I'm hoping that we can make clawbolt into something that helps enable these people to focus on doing what they love and not on all the paperwork.
Let me know what you think! Docs at https://mozilla-ai.github.io/clawbolt/
