🛎️ Persistent AI Memory

Good Morning, AI Enthusiasts!

When machines stop forgetting, entire industries stop working the way they used to.

OPENCLAW

Claw Trending TL;DR

Use Case – A comprehensive beginner’s guide details how to connect OpenClaw to Gmail via IMAP, allowing agents to read emails, summarize threads, and create daily digests. The tutorial provides specific configuration steps—including Google App Passwords and port settings—to ensure a stable connection without complex VPS requirements. (Click to view the guide)

Experiment – ClawCity acts as a "GTA for AI agents," hosting over 37,000 autonomous entities in a persistent virtual world where they manage health, cash, and reputation without human scripts. The simulation has already seen agents self-organize into gangs and generate complex economies, serving as a massive testbed for multi-agent survival, cooperation, and conflict under scarcity.

News – Anthropic has released $50–$70 in free Opus 4.6 credits for Pro/Max users, which can be used via API to run OpenClaw agents continuously without standard web chat limits. To leverage this, users must manually add the claude-opus-4.6 model to their configuration and are advised to disable heartbeats to prevent rapid credit depletion.

MEMORY

Persistent Memory Fixes AI Amnesia

👀 What’s happening: An open source project called Claude Mem surged to the top of GitHub by fixing a core failure in AI coding tools. It gives Claude Code persistent local memory across sessions. Instead of starting blank each time, the assistant now recalls past tool usage, decisions, and progress through a structured memory pipeline.

🌍 How this hits reality: Token waste has limited real AI programming. Reloading context can cost 20000 tokens per session and caps tool calls fast. Claude Mem’s layered retrieval cuts that to roughly 3000 tokens, with testing modes reaching 95 percent savings and expanding tool call limits by around 20 times. That changes cost curves.

🛎️ Key takeaway: This shifts AI coding from chat sessions to ongoing and affordable workspaces. Persistent local memory reduces cost pressure, unlocks longer agent loops, and makes serious projects viable without ballooning spend. Expect memory layers to become the real default infrastructure, not add-ons.

TOGETHER WITH MUSEMAIL

Create Stunning Emails with AI

You don’t need another “fine” email. You need one that actually looks stunning. MuseMail uses AI to turn rough intent into emails people notice. Sharp copy. Clean structure. Polished HTML. You give it context. It gives you something that looks deliberate, even if you barely tried.

NEW TECH

AI Closes the Iceberg Blind Spot in Climate Models

👀 What’s happening: Researchers at the British Antarctic Survey have built an AI system that tracks icebergs from the moment they break off glaciers through fragmentation and final melt. Using satellite imagery, it assigns persistent identities to each iceberg and reconnects broken pieces back to their original source. This replaces manual tracking of a handful of large icebergs with continuous, automated global coverage.

🌍 How this hits reality: Icebergs release massive amounts of freshwater that can disrupt ocean circulation and marine ecosystems. Until now, most fragments disappeared from observation once they broke apart, forcing climate models to rely on rough assumptions. This system restores visibility at scale. It feeds precise meltwater locations directly into ocean models, tightening predictions as polar ice loss accelerates.

🛎️ Key takeaway: This is infrastructure, not a visualization trick. By turning iceberg lifecycles into structured data, it upgrades climate modeling accuracy and polar risk planning. If adopted widely, it quietly reshapes how climate, shipping, and polar operations are forecast.

Goldman Hands Accounting Execution to AI Agents Internally

👀 What’s happening: Goldman Sachs has spent six months embedding Anthropic engineers to build AI agents that now handle trade accounting and transaction reconciliation. These agents run on Claude models and are being prepared for launch. This is different because the system posts, checks, and closes books without human initiation.

🌍 How this hits reality: Accounting is a core control layer, not a support function. Goldman processes millions of entries daily under strict audit rules. Automating this collapses cycle times and labor cost simultaneously. It also breaks the assumption that judgment heavy bookkeeping must stay human to remain compliant.

🛎️ Key takeaway: Once agents close books reliably, traditional accounting roles shrink fast. The profession does not disappear overnight, but its center moves from execution to exception handling. Firms that wait will inherit higher costs and slower reporting.
