Same, it's in a similar vein as pgvector - probably not as performant as turbopuffer or chroma but you get the benefits of being in a really nice ecosystem.

Is it? pgvector is primarily about indexing, I think? This feels more similar =AI in Google Sheets.

True though pgvector is not deterministic in a strict sense since HNSW is probabilistic.

Yes, and I imagine pgclaw would pair well with pgmq and pg_cron for scheduled work. Postgres really is enough: https://postgresisenough.dev

This... does not seem like separation of concerns.

Not to mention that the data layer seems like the one where you want to keep things most deterministic.

To decouple this the person would have to broadcast nearly every event and rebuild the observer layers elsewhere.

this is fucking awesome

It feels like we're a week away from the Claw hype supplanting AI hype. Companies will start renaming things ClawX to get on the hype bandwagon.

It's just an abstraction people are excited about at the moment. Langchain was an exciting abstraction at one point.

My bet is we converge on a super minimal model<>computer architecture.

I think "claw" isn't appealing enough to be genericized and that "agent" will continue to be the generic term, but we'll see.

maxbond•1h ago

What's the advantage in putting agents in the persistence layer rather than the application layer? This seems to me strictly less flexible, scalable, secure, easy to work with... I am having a hard time imagining why I would want to integrate with APIs or write an agentic harness in the database rather than in application code?

Maybe I'm behind the times but I don't understand.

It's similar to when we wrote all our business logic in eg pl/sql, stored procedures etc. Seems attractive at first, but it breaks separation of concerns, becomes difficult to test etc.

I don't understand why claw is a data type for columns in these examples, it doesn't seem to store any actual per-row state. Is it not possible to hook extensions onto "with" clauses or something similar?
