Openclaw - your free open-source AI personal assistant (formerly Clawdbot & Moltbot)

[robi]

The latest evolution to stay is OpenClaw as it retains its roots and is copyright free.

More here + backstory:
https://openclaw.ai/blog/introducing-openclaw

The gateway really is the cool interface on almost any chat app.

@robi openclaw is much better name
I just hope the code is much better and finished

E.g.
“We support iMessage”

• “cool”

“Ah, but it’s a WIP”

• “aarrgghh”

I’m excited about Moltbot/OpenClaw but I reckon it needs another couple months to be complete / stable

[robi]

@timconsidine I hear you. The experience is so different if you choose an option that isn't as polished yet.

I would suggest Telegram or Discord to start as those work well. Haven't tried others.

[timconsidine]

@robi I have Telegram working. Need to configure some / tasks and skills to make it productive.

Apparently they're sticking with this now.

The creator's been pretty active with bots to build bots:

@marcusquinn started packaging it ....

@marcusquinn

Interesting : now I see that many of his creations are listed as plugins/extensions within moltbot/openclaw

"Ship beats perfect"

Ha ! Don't I know it (from packaging moltbot).
Far be it from me to challenge this, but I think he should revise his approach.
"Shipped and properly working, not incomplete, beats perfect" might be better.

Another day, another rename

The title of this thread has openclawd instead of openclaw

[marcusquinn]

@jdaviescoates sorted

This thread is inspirational for how to tier your model usage, especially if you're hitting token limits.

@robi Sonnet 5 is due out this week, don't think we'll need anything else once that is

[robi]

@marcusquinn token burn is real, and default config doesn't care.

Hence openrouter's auto route helps

As does this config optimization

@robi thanks for that link
still working on my openclaw package, so that will be useful (incorporated if I can)

[crazybrad]

As an AI practitioner with our own AI server and projects, I was excited about testing this agent as well - until I read this article about ClawDBot Vulnerabilities.
Now I'm thinking about whether I want to explore this, but at least, perhaps I will try it using a machine and digital presence that is separate, apart and isolated from everything that matters!

[timconsidine]

@crazybrad I have very similar thoughts & cautions.

• packaging it because it looks cool and fun to learn what the fuss is about
• I would NEVER deploy this on a primary working computer like desktop/laptop
• deploying it in a container seems like it could be viable

I have a feeling that Agent Zero is much better than Openclaw, but I can't really say that until I have test Openclaw fairly. So continuing on the package "just in case" it can help me or others.

[robi]

@crazybrad no fear, the enchanting experience is key.

[crazybrad]

@timconsidine I think "containerizing" is a great and much safer approach. I would just not use real accounts: email, social, etc. The fact that you are doing this might encourage me to create some test accounts and try it:) @robi Excellent point! "Mirror, mirror on the wall... whose the smartest one of all:)"

I was thinking few roles for clawdbot / openclaw / agentzero as a bookeeper who with giving access to irs taxcode and postgress database ask him to be my accountant. Still thinking about it but i have to free few weekends for this. Any thoughts / suggestions?

[marcusquinn]

@DualOSWinWiz exactly the kind of thing this is for — go for it!
