OpenClaw is the 6-7 of the software world. Our dystopia is post-absurdist.

You can see it that way, but I think its a cynics mindset.

I experience it personally as super fun approach to experiment with the power of Agentic AI. It gives you and your LLM so much power and you can let your creativity flow and be amazed of whats possible. For me, openClaw is so much fun, because (!) it is so freaking crazy. Precisely the spirit that I missed in the last decade of software engineering.

Dont use on the Work Macbook, I'd suggest. But thats persona responsibility I would say and everyone can decide that for himself.

What have you done with it?

a lot of really fun stuff. From fun little scripts to more complex business/life/hibby admin stuff that annoyed me a lot (eg organizing my research). for instance i can just drop it a YT link in Telegram, and it then will automatically download the transcripts, scan them, and match them to my research notes. If it detects overlap it will suggest a link in the knowledge base.

Works super nice for me because i am a chaotic brain and never had the discipline to order all my findings. openClaw does it perfectly for me so far..

i dont let it manage my money though ;-)

edit: it sounds crazy but the key is to talk to it about everything!! openClaw is written in such a way that its mega malleable. and the more it knows , the better the fit. it can also edit itself in quite a fundamental way. like a LISP machine kind of :-)

What model do you use it with? And through which API, openrouter? Wondering how you manage cost because it can get quite expensive

		I am dumb. I use Anthropic Api and Opus for some, Sonnet for other tasks. Accumulated quite some costs. But i book it as a business expense , so its less painful as if it would be for private. But yeah, could optimize for cost more

I had to use AI to actually understand what you wrote it and I think it's an underrated comment
