What happens when an AI agent receives a request like: โreview this PR before mergeโ?
In his latest article, our colleague Eugene Sokolov explores why large prompts often reach their limits and how splitting responsibilities inside an AI skill can make engineering work more structured, reliable and actionable.
Weโll share the full article in the BIO ๐ต

There is a new article on our website!
This time, Sergio Cabeza de Vaca Montero, Product Engineer at Cactus, explores why AI coding agents can seem to get worse the longer they work.
When context windows become overloaded with logs, failed attempts and outdated assumptions, even powerful models can start making poor decisions.
The problem is not always the AI itself, but the environment it is working in.
During our coworking session in Seville, we had the opportunity to hear from our CEO, Bram Van Nieuwerburgh, who shared insights on where we're heading and the opportunities ahead.
We also enjoyed lunch together, taking the opportunity to catch up, exchange ideas, and meet new colleagues ๐ต

We learned how to prepare perfumes and tried our hands at creating mosaic tiles. The event went smoothly, the ambience was cozy and friendly, and it gave us the space to connect in a different way.
Pavel Yarakhovich shared his experience: โI created something that I would not normally use and confirmed Iโm definitely better at writing code than crafting fragrances ๐โ
And during the mosaic session, Elene Tsotseria captured the vibe perfectly:
"Who knew tiny pieces of glass, clay, and mystery materials could turn creativity and patience into a fun time with colleagues, and it was fun to observe everyoneโs unique choices!โ
There were experiments, tiny tiles everywhere, unexpected scent combinations, and plenty of laughs in between.
Good people and creativity. Moments like this bring a different kind of energy. ๐ต

We ran OpenClaw 24/7 on a Raspberry Pi 4 to see what happens when an AI agent doesnโt just answer, but acts.
Scripts, monitoring, integrations, real automation.
The result?
OpenClaw feels less like a chatbot and more like infrastructure.

2026 will be about building AI that actually works in a reliable, well-managed, scalable way.
After a year full of breakthroughs and lessons learned, here's where we see AI truly moving next:
โ Strong oversight becomes essential
โก Agents finally grow up
โข Multimodality becomes AIโs native language
โฃ AI moves from the cloud to the real world
โค Small models take the spotlight
Which of these shifts do you think will have the biggest impact in 2026?
