🧑💻 Use AI
For professionals, operators, and light engineers who want to apply AI to their own work. The line between Use and Build is not technical versus non-technical: Use means applying AI to your own work, Build means engineering a system or product for an organization or others. Configuring and running a pre-built assistant such as OpenClaw is hands-on, and it is still Use.
