The Agentic Revolution: For two decades, we lived by the rule: "There’s an app for that." In 2026, that rule has been shattered. We are witnessing the rise of the Agent Operating System (AIOS), where the LLM is the kernel and autonomous agents are the primary interface. At the heart of this shift is OpenClaw, the viral project that just joined forces with OpenAI to become a global foundation.
In this special deep dive, we analyze the structural collapse of the app-centric paradigm and the rise of personal, proactive intelligence.
