Question: Why do people want to do this with their mac mini? Can you not do all of this with a hosted VM instance? A mic mini makes it easier for people to set up? Everything still has to talk to data on the cloud right?

Mac Mini is a gateway to iMessage. That’s really it.
(Do not use imessage, a Whatsapp user, and we can access that through the browser, which means you can plug it into an extension)

#124One thing I keep coming back to though - what if the tool could actually watch how you use your CRM and then suggest automations based on what it sees you doing repeatedly?
I've been building something called MemoryLane (https://github.com/deusXmachina-dev/memorylane) that does exactly this - it captures screen activity, spots repeated workflows, and suggests automations. Works as an MCP server so you can plug it into Claude or Cursor. Instead of you having to describe what you want automated, it just watches and proposes stuff.
Have you thought about adding something like pattern detection to denchclaw? Feels like it'd fit really well with the "everything app" direction. For us the most useful engine for executing skills and automations is surprisingly cowork thus far, haha

Ah, that makes a lot of sense! (Do not use imessage, a Whatsapp user, and we can access that through the browser, which means you can plug it into an extension)

#129Why would you build this on top of OpenClaw? Like, an insanely bad decision. Vibe coded slop on top of vide coded slop to spam people? What could possibly go wrong?
