.@clawcon brought the Festival of Personal AI to @themu_xyz Shanghai yesterday! 🦞 Our APAC Lead @0xLaughing joined the vibrant OpenClaw community for a full day of keynotes on agent workflows, live OpenClaw demos, roundtables on global ecosystems, hands-on skill labs, and the lively Crawfish Market packed with builder projects. He stepped up to the open mic to share insights on the evolution of payments and agentic payments, sparking great conversations. Moments like these highlight the surging demand for seamless micropayment rails and verifiable identities that let personal agents operate with true sovereignty and efficiency in the agentic economy. At @GoKiteAI we’re building exactly the infrastructure to power that future. Grateful for the electric atmosphere and new connections. The personal AI revolution is accelerating fast! 🪁
