In plain words
This is a Go-based unikernel designed to run graphical user interface programs. A unikernel is a specialized, minimal operating system compiled together with an application into a single executable. This project enables developers to build and deploy GUI applications using Go in a lightweight unikernel environment. It targets developers interested in experimental approaches to application deployment and those seeking reduced overhead compared to traditional operating systems.

https://github.com/OlexG/finclaw ^ repo if anyone wants to contribute. I realized that sometimes I'm pretty good at making random guesses about the future. (I.E, I think OpenAI will beat Anthropic in the short term, etc...) However, I'm bad at converting these guesses into actual market plays I can profit from. As such, I wanted to make a tool that connects to the right APIs and launches a swarm of agent experts to generate related plays based on your prediction. The very first super shitty V0 MPV just has Polymarket/Kalshi bets, but I will be adding a more complex…
