Claude caught up pretty quickly. I think OpenClaw’s core value is the channel, heartbeat, and the open-source ecosystem.

Yes -- this is getting very close to ClaudeClaw. Next they'll offer cloud hosting of persistent execution.

And unfortunately I think hearbeats are a little cost prohibitive. I burn through my plus plan with half hour cadence heartbeats checking email.

		All *Claw implementations should use a local model for heartbeat, it doesn't need to do anything complex, pretty much just read a text file and do a true/false decision if there's something in there to do when it wakes up. If so, it can either just shove the full heartbeat file to a smarter model or try to intelligently spread the tasks to the correct models.

		Heartbeat should be set to be a cheaper model.

I would rather they build something similar to openclaw than all these individual features that replicate functionality.

I mean you can just use /loop in both Claude Code and Codex for heartbeats.
