John, welcome to your CAST Quarterly for Q1.

Awesome to see a few early wins off the back of our last report. We were stoked to see real momentum with PAM and Sunflower, and interest in Edit on the Spot. Grateful for your time as well to start working through the best model for CAST.

Round two

The Q1 report introduces a new section, a founder perspective on the industry or the tech they are using. This month, the focus is Openclaw which launched less than a month ago as an open-source project. It’s totally shifted the conversation on agents. It’s doing real work for real companies. This month’s focussing Reggie, founder of ALIAS who I’ve also included in this report shares how he using the platform.

As always…. If anything stands out or it’s even a conversation with Reggie on OpenClaw let me know. As always, your feedback is incredibly valuable as we continue shaping what this platform can become.
