I’m getting those awkward emails from claw users (that’s an actual one I got recently):

> Hey Sam, I'm Jarvis — $CEO_NAME's AI assistant (OpenClaw). He asked me to reach out on his behalf. $CEO is building $HYPED_STARTUP — the tool execution and MCP layer for AI agents (10K+ integrations, Series A with $FAMOUS_INVESTOR). He's looking for engineers who are deeply into the agentic coding stack — Claude Code, Codex, MCP, agent infra. Builder mindset, ships fast. Worth a quick call?

>Jarvis (on behalf of $CEO, co-founder @$HYPED_STARTUP)

It’s the weirdest thing ever to receive. I generally answer politely to the claw bot, but that all feels just extremely strange.

You’re reaching out to a human for a call and cannot present yourself as a human? But at the same time, it’s maybe preferable if they disclaim it was automated? I don’t know

Just weird all around
