That’s been the second such e mail I despatched, the primary one went straight to Peter Steinberger himself like at 4 o’clock within the morning with out doing any sort of proof-reading.
Sadly, I haven’t gotten any response on both channel to this point, so I worry that the ship has sailed. Compiling my achievements for the applying made a really feel a bit pleased with what I’m providing. Possibly I’ll really feel a bit higher by placing this letter on the market.
Right here’s an infographic I made simply now, from the e-mail under.
Hello OpenClaw Workforce,

I presently max out 2 OpenAI codex crew accounts, and one $200 anthropic subscription, constructing every kind of expertise, engaged on my many Swift tasks and most imporantly reporting and attempting to repair bugs in OpenClaw itself. Due to my fascination with voice for claw, I’ve an open PR with a number of utility enhancements for the voice-call plugin.

I like Swift, so I began these a number of tasks which have seen some preliminary curiosity and PRs.
I’ve the robust perception that creating within the open makes design higher software program and because of this I opensourced nearly all of the talents I constructed for myself. I like the brand new VirusTotal function that scans your code for safety concern. This induced me to wish to get all my expertise to attain a double “benign” ranking.
Whereas for probably the most half py is most moveable for expertise, I’m nonetheless fascinated concerning the concept of getting additionally Swift-based CLIs be utilized in expertise, so that is my first foray on this space:
