In today's episode of Legal Marketing Minutes, I want to bring something to your attention that is getting a lot of media attention right now.

It involves a new agentic AI app originally known as Clawdbot, now Moltbot (see edit below), and I explain why legal and business professionals need to be extremely cautious about tools like this.

This episode is especially relevant for lawyers, legal marketing and business development professionals, and other law firm leaders who are trying to understand where agentic AI fits, and where it does not, in professional services environments.

This tool is not just another AI chat interface. It is an open-source, agentic AI assistant designed to run locally and take actions across systems using large language models such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot, and others.

In this episode, I cover:

• What makes agentic AI different from traditional generative AI tools

• Why open source does not automatically mean low risk

• How agentic AI changes the risk profile around confidentiality, accuracy, and supervision

• Why I'm drawing a clear line right now for legal professionals

• And what I recommend you focus on instead as you build AI discernment

I also reference a recent LinkedIn conversation and explain why issues such as prompt injection, rogue actions, and the release of confidential client or matter information are not theoretical concerns, but real professional responsibility issues.

Since recording this episode, the Clawdbot project has rebranded to Moltbot following a naming conflict. What happened next is a real-world example of the risks discussed in this episode.

Within seconds of the rename, scammers reportedly grabbed look-alike handles and began promoting fake crypto tokens tied to the project's name. The creator publicly warned that any "Clawdbot" or "Moltbot" coin was not legitimate and urged followers not to buy.

This is exactly the kind of brand, trust, and reputational risk that emerges when open-source projects, AI tools, and social platforms collide at speed.

Separately, security researchers have highlighted risks when agentic tools are deployed with publicly exposed control panels, including potential exposure of credentials and sensitive data. If you are experimenting with agentic tooling, treat it like production infrastructure: lock it down, assume attackers are watching, and do not expose admin interfaces to the public internet.

I also reference a recent LinkedIn conversation I had about Clawdbot and explain why issues such as prompt injection, rogue actions, and the release of confidential client or matter information are not theoretical concerns, but real professional responsibility issues.

Social media ushered in an era of easy, deep, and free connection with people all over the world, but it also delivered emotional dependency and addiction for many.

AI is at an early crossroads, and the stakes are just as high, if not higher, for some.

In this episode, I explore how OpenAI is trying to avoid repeating social media's mistakes with ChatGPT. After observing concerning patterns, including users developing unhealthy attachments, and students using AI as an "answer machine," OpenAI just announced significant changes to prioritize well-being over engagement.

I'll share why this moment matters for legal and business professionals, as well as teachers, parents, and other leaders.

I'll cover:

* The sobering statistics about AI dependency, including why 2/3 of Gen Z males are open to AI relationships

* OpenAI's recent changes that are meant to combat unhealthy use

* What Dr. Luiza Jarovsky says about this mental health bomb waiting to explode

* Why Passle's CEO James Barclay warns us not to "fall in love with your robot"

* How legal professionals can use AI as a tool without letting it replace your expertise

This is not about avoiding AI. It is about learning from our digital past to build a healthier future.

🎧 Please listen for an honest, discerning perspective about technology, human behavior, and what progress might look like.
