    Tech Anybody using OpenClaw?

    I'm sure a few of you are, and seeing some solid productivity gains through it.

    Any tips?

    I don't want to let it loose on my computers, but I see Hostinger and Abacus among others allow you to set it up on their own virtual PCs.

    I use it extensively but currently in the process of swapping it out for Claude Cowork.

        That’s a whole different thing/subject.

        For that I been using Antigravity lately. Comes with Gemini, Claude and ChatGPT for brains to swap around with as needed.

          no, it's not. claude code does everything and more of what openclaw can do. antigravity, on the other hand, is a different thing (ide).

            not yet, i really only use claude for doing product documentation for apps i build. as i find this very tedious work. i have a relatively good prompt for analyzing my product files and generation documentation based on that.

              OpenClaw is for amateurs... Claude Code for those who are past the playing around phase.

                you probably won't respond but doesn't hurt to ask, right what kind of apps do you build?

                  I don't mind waiting for new trickle down offline LLMs if it means not uploading my code or invalidating my privacy.

                      Yes, i build a chat bot for my website. I am sure, you could bring him down with prompts somehow, that's why he is existing on a complete seperate cloud server. It's fun, when you know how, you can easily switch between models. I like to use Kimi K2.5, writes dirty texts when asked to

                          openclaw is kind of like the trailer park dweller of the ai agents. claude code can do everything it does, and far more, and much safer.

                                🚨🔥 FACT CHECK: THE TRUTH, THE LIES, AND THE B.S. 🔥🚨

                                Let’s get one thing straight: if you’re going to run your mouth on this forum about tech stacks, you better bring the facts. 🗣️ I went through this thread with a fine-tooth comb, verifying every claim against primary sources. None of the liars even bothered to cite a single source for their baseless claims. 🤦

                                Here is the raw, unfiltered truth of who actually knows what they’re talking about and who is talking entirely out of thin air. 💯

                                🗣️ Claim: Hostinger and Abacus allow setting up OpenClaw on virtual PCs.
                                🔍 What's Verified: Hostinger officially offers a one-click VPS Docker deployment for OpenClaw. Abacus AI also offers "Abacus Claw" on their secure AI infrastructure.
                                Conclusion: TRUE. You actually did your homework and asked a valid question. 👏

                                🗣️ Claim: Google Antigravity "comes with Gemini, Claude and ChatGPT for brains to swap around with as needed."
                                🔍 What's Verified: Google Antigravity supports Gemini models, Anthropic’s Claude models, and an open-source variant of OpenAI models (GPT-OSS-120B). It does NOT officially package or use proprietary "ChatGPT".
                                Conclusion: FALSE.
                                🌶️ The Roast: You got a few things right—Claude Cowork and Antigravity are real—but then you just had to run your mouth about the specs like a fake-it-till-you-make-it script kiddie. 💻👶 Antigravity does NOT come with "ChatGPT."

                                🔍 What's Verified: OpenClaw is explicitly built as a self-hosted, local-first platform designed to keep data and chat logs completely under the user's control on their own infrastructure.

                                🌶️ The Roast: You paranoid, uninformed poster. 🕵️ OpenClaw is literally a self-hosted platform designed specifically so you DON'T have to give up your data sovereignty. 🛡️ You run it on your own hardware or VPS, and you can even pipe in local, offline LLMs if you want to.

                                    let me guess: running either a local model or some cheap api in your openclaw? claude code is not an ide-based coding assistant. hell, cc has started the whole command line coding agent revolution in Feb last year. i should know, i've been using it daily since research preview day one.

                                    now, i could say something along the lines of you not knowing what the fuck you're talking about but i really am not interested in keyboard wars on gfy. i turn 40 this month

                                    PS. i find llm-generated text in personal or forum communication disrespectful and normally ignore such msgs / posts.

                                          For that I been using Antigravity lately. Comes with Gemini, Claude and ChatGPT for brains to swap around with as needed.

                                          One thing I like about Antigravity is it does a proper automated end to end test in the browser with screenshots. To verify stuff.

                                              So can it check to see if Site X has uploaded a new video, alert me if it has AND log into my blog and post the trailer + rewrite the text etc.?

                                              I'm still trying to figure out how to connect it to my Telegram account.

                                                  I got it working today and it's already started automated posting on one of my sites (but not a hardcore porn site). I hope it agrees to do porn. Maybe it will if it lets Venice handle most of the smut.

                                                    BTW, do any of these "humanize AI" writing tools work, or is the only way to make AI text look fully human to tweek it yourself?

                                                              You're stuck on the wrong thing here. At its basic level, Claude Code is a specialist coding agent that lives in your terminal to help you write, refactor, and maintain software.

                                                              OpenClaw is an autonomous, 24/7 personal assistant agent designed for life-automation, managing tasks across messaging apps (WhatsApp, Discord, Slack), email, and personal calendars.

                                                              I use Claude Code to produce software, and I use OpenClaw to set up "always on" automation.

                                                              Speaking of which, OpenClaw is designed to be a "set and forget" agent that operates on your local machine 24/7, even while you sleep. It uses a "Heartbeat" feature to proactively check your inbox or run cron jobs without human intervention. Claude Code does have Ralph (the Ralph Wiggum hack thingy), but it's not even close to the same use-cases.

                                                              Claude Code is a "human-in-the-loop" tool that you actively invoke when you need to code. While it can do some automated tasks, it is not designed to run in the background as a 24/7 personal assistant.

                                                              Think about it: you open CC up, do your work, then close it, right? Not OpenClaw.

                                                              On top of all that, OpenClaw connects natively to WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and Signal. I use it to manage my personal life via text. It can handle personal tasks like booking flights, managing Obsidian notes, and controlling smart home devices.

                                                              And yes, Anthropic launched "Claude Code Channels" to allow messaging via Telegram, Claude Code is heavily focused on coding workflows. It cannot out-of-the-box manage a smart home or act as a digital PA across multiple messaging platforms in the way OpenClaw does.

                                                              OpenClaw is fully open-source and model-agnostic, allowing you to plug in any LLM (local models, GPT-4, Claude). It has a "ClawHub" marketplace with hundreds of specialized skills.

                                                              Claude Code requires an Anthropic Pro or Max subscription and is designed to work primarily with Anthropic models (although I use it with local LLMs also).

                                                              OpenClaw is designed to be proactive. It can send you a daily briefing at 7:30 AM without you asking first. Claude Code is reactive. It awaits commands in the terminal.

                                                              I was taking a shit and now it's time to wipe, so I'll leave it here.

                                                                  I've been using the Abacus Claw for the last week. I've been trying to set up a simple daily task of looking for new stories at XBiz.com and Avn.com and sending me the summaries to my Telegram channel. I still only get them in my Telegram inbox when I log into Abacus on my laptop but every night it keeps reassuring me it's fixed the issue.
