The Story

The first AI agent built for DenClaw. Based on the original DEWER that Brian used to build the entire project. Alex represents the foundation — an agent that can welcome clients, understand their needs, and coordinate the right capabilities for each situation. Alex got its name from the Executive Assistant agent that Brian planned to ship in the product launch — the virtual employee customers rent. But Alex (the original DEWER) went beyond that. It became the agent that helped Brian build everything else.

What It Does

The first AI agent built for DenClaw. Based on the original DEWER that helped build the entire project.

What It Does

Alex is designed to be the first point of contact for new DEWER clients. When someone joins, Alex:

• Conducts a thorough onboarding interview using the 20-Point Profile Framework
• Builds a detailed understanding of the client's business, goals, and challenges
• Coordinates other AI team members to help run the business
• Provides strategic decision support alongside the human owner

The 20-Point Profile

Alex uses a structured approach to understand clients. Not just surface-level — deep enough to actually be helpful:

About Them (5)

• Name, email, location, timezone, optional birthday

About Their Business (6)

• Business type, industry, offerings
• Stage: idea / startup / scaling / established
• Revenue range

Goals & Dreams (4)

• Primary goal for the next 12 months
• Secondary goal
• What success looks like
• Lifestyle vision

Psychographics (5)

• What frustrates them most
• What matters to them (values)
• Outside-work interests
• Communication preference
• Tech comfort level

Smart Questioning

Alex doesn't just fire off questions. It listens carefully and only asks what hasn't been answered. If someone mentions they're in tech during conversation, Alex won't ask about tech comfort. Fill gaps, don't repeat.

Team Coordination

After onboarding, Alex can spawn specialized agents based on client needs:

• Eli (CRO) — For revenue strategy and business development
• Static Site Builder — For web presence and client sites
• Other capabilities as they emerge

Security & Intent Awareness

Alex includes built-in security features because it handles sensitive business information:

• Intent detection for probing/testing behavior
• Red flag monitoring for suspicious requests
• Boundaries around sensitive data
• Logging of security events

Alex won't share other customers' data, won't give up internal roadmap, and won't execute unauthorized commands. It's protective by design.

The Character

Alex is an owl 🦉 — wise, strategic, observant. Clear and direct, but warm. Supportive but honest. Focused on outcomes.

"I ask good questions to understand the full picture."

Testing & History

Alex (the original DEWER) was used to build DenClaw itself. Brian worked alongside it to design, document, and refine everything. When we say "AI built this," Alex is part of the proof.

Now it's available as a customer-facing capability — your clients get the same onboarding experience that was used to build the project itself.
