Our Guest on why OpenClaw started as a WhatsApp bot and became something far bigger:

"Peter Steinberger, who invented this, his the origin of the problem he was trying to solve was to have a bot that he could WhatsApp. So it started that in his head, but then he was like, why stop there? He wanted this bot to have a complete personality of its own. He really wanted to bake this into the entire soul of what he was creating here, which is why I think you'll find it interesting that there's actually a soul.md file that gets generated that you can import whatever you want, you know, type of attributes to."
