I mean if you are not connecting it to the real things why even bother, just chatgpt or Claude online at that point.

We have enough assistants, the key idea with opeclaw is it can do stuff instead of talk with what you have. It’s terrible security but that’s the only way it makes sense. Otherwise it’s just a lot of hoops to combine cron jobs with a AI agent on the cloud that can do things an report back.

Not that I think anyone should do it, it’s a recipe for disaster

Yeah, it's like saying you can hire a con artist as your personal assistant as long as they work from a sealed box and just pass little reviewed paper slips back and forth through a slit. Why have one at that point? Very difficult to be 'assisted' without granting access.
