There is no special sauce, it's mass hysteria driven by fake adoption metrics and people who don't know anything about computers who let "agents" run free on theirs. It's the equivalent of showing a magician cut a women in a box in half to a 5 years old kid... Put them in the same category as the neckbeards getting a hard on every 3 weeks for the past 2 years when they get to see the new version of ThE PeLiCaN On A B…

It is a huge unlock. Ignore this snark and try it yourself. Any agentic use case you can imagine you can start to tackle. Openclaw itself is buggy but the idea is amazing.

> Any agentic use case you can imagine you can start to tackle.

If "agentic use case" is shorthand for "use case that would benefit from giving non-deterministic systems blanket access to private local data and external accounts" than I can't imagine any such use cases.

My wife constantly asks me about adding books to her Kindle. I use Anna’s archive for this, but the process can be very annoying. I have to go to the site, search for the content. Filter by epub and English. Then download the content. Then send it to her Kindle email. My openclaw now searches for the relevant content upon her request, sends the URL to a Stacks docker instance, monitors the Stacks instance for when th…

But it's so easy to just download from libgen and send as an attachment to a Kindle email...

Are you being sarcastic?

Like sure, it is. But when I'm out doing something and she texts me a book title and author, I'd have to make a mental note to take care of it next time I'm free. It also means having a stack of epub files in my phone/tablet/laptop downloads that I've got no use for.

I mean, yes, some people have real issues with delegating tasks to others. Those people probably wouldn't get much benefit from an... AI assistant. That doesn't "illustrate your point", it just states the obvious.

You are confusing "issues" with "lack of need" and "lack of benefit of proposed solution". Again, I think the tech is cool, and I would actually really like to both better understand and try out the tech. But to try something out in earnest, I need some concrete use-case, and so far the use-cases I have seen range from "meh" to "get it away from me". For agentic coding, I also needed some concrete use cases, and I fo…

Okay but like, some people don't live the types of lives where they could benefit from an assistant, either a real one or an AI one. I'm one such person. My life is pretty simple. I don't juggle a thousand different things, and am comfortable with taking care of everything myself. But I also recognize that not everyone is like that. I have a lot of friends who can barely stay on top of things. They have families, demanding jobs (sometimes more than one), lots of responsibilities, and they constantly forget to do stuff or postpone due to lack of time. I think tech like this, once (if) it becomes more reliable and user-friendly, could really gain a lot from them.

Bottom line is that there's a big difference between "not useful to me" and "not useful". If it was the latter, nobody would have human personal assistants either... but that's not the case.

I hear a lot about people doing this but it really seems like it is prompt injection as a service. eventually the things that can happen when you give the world write access to an unattended LLM that can access both your browser and password reset mechanism will happen. or someone will just make it email lewd pics to people’s bosses for the lols

That theory is being tested. So far no prompt injection has broken in: https://hackmyclaw.com/

Since when do security researchers and black hats give away their tools for free?

I always clearly stated that the use cases don't resonate with me and that I don't see the point.

And the people who have (the need for?) human personal assistants seem like a very small subgroup to me.

You don't need to use OpenClaw, NanoClaw or any of these new variants. You can literally use Codex, Claude Code, Gemini, OpenCode for the same thing. The only thing that it is missing from all of them is the communication channels because none of them come with native communication tools like OpenClaw. But this is not such a big deal. I made an open-source lightweight daemon in Go that fills that gap. All it does is…

Shameless plug: https://www.supyagent.com - we basically want to give away the integrations for free. For Claude users you just need to run `supyagent skills generate` and you get all the integrations. Works well with cursor and codex as well, and if you want a UI to go with it that can be tinkered, just run `npx create-supyagent-app`

That is such a ridiculous statement you are clearly not arguing in good faith.

Hahaha a year ago I did this. Crontab -e Run Claude -p and Claude already has mcp,'s configured so it can do anything I wanted.

You should be like '$10,000,000 please'

Dont be ridiculous. He needs to make it deployable by normies and hype it up on twitter first. then he could ask for 10mil

Umm, is it out of the grey area of Whatsapp (and others') TOS?
