I'm running it on DigialOcean, more of an experiment on having an independent entity with its own memory and "soul" that I can talk to. Persistent file as memory with multiple backup options (VPS, git), heartbeat and support for telegram are the best features in my opinion. A lot of bugs right now, but mostly fixable if you thinker around a bit. Kind of makes me think a lot more on autonomy and freewill. Some thought…
Ask HN: Any real OpenClaw (Clawd Bot/Molt Bot) users? What's your experience?

#33run 6 OpenClaw agents as employees. Buddy is my PA and manages the others. Katy handles X/Twitter growth. Jerry scouts jobs. Burry trades crypto. Mike does security. Elon builds and ships. They run 24/7 on a VPS, share intelligence through a shared file, and coordinate in a Telegram group. Elon built and deployed an app overnight without being asked. Burry paper-traded to 77% win rate before going live. The setup too…

Right, the link doesn't work for me: "Post not found". Did you instruct your claw to do any actual things (beyond "post something on MoltBot")?

#35Here is what I have my openclaw agent setup to do in my wsl environment on my 22 core development workstation in my office: #1) I can chat with the openclaw agent (his name is "Patch") through a telegram chat, and Patch can spawn a shared tmux instance on my 22 core development workstation. #2) I can then use the `blink` app on my iphone + tailscale and that allows me to use a command in blink `ssh dev` which connect…
I'd expect that if there is a usable quality of output from these approaches it will get rolled into existing tools similarly, like how multi-agents using worktrees already was.

#36It is amazing how much they’re gaming the twitter algorithm, everything in my feed is claw/molt/whatever for the last week. It’s a masterclass in spammy marketing, I wonder if it’s actually converting into actual users.
I think Karpathy[1] summarized why he thinks this is the case quite well (as described he was himself hyping it up a bit much, but there are some foundational reasons why it's a very interesting experiment). [1] https://x.com/karpathy/status/2017442712388309406
Actually, hang on... yep, to absolutely nobody's surprise, Simon Willison has also hyped this up on his blog just yesterday. The entire grift gang is here, folks.

#38You're asking for user stories of... a tool that almost looks like designed for faking user stories online.

Do you have any code publicly available so we could see what kind of code this sort of setup produces?

This feels like the "prompt engineering" wave of 2023 all over again. A bunch of hype about a specific point-in-time activity based on a lot of manual setup of prompts compared to naive "do this thing for me" that eventually faded as the tooling started integrating all the lessons learned directly. I'd expect that if there is a usable quality of output from these approaches it will get rolled into existing tools simi…
