Built out an open claw over the weekend and played with one agent on it. If you're technical, you should, in my opinion, be experimenting with this. It is not at all hard to set up. So much to explore.

To compare the power of OpenClaw, in the past, I have experimented with a lot of what ChatGPT offered in a basic sense.
In ChatGPT basic, they have a scheduler. You can write a custom prompt and put instructions in it and have it send you an email every morning with answers to your prompts.

With OpenClaw, you can connect it to APIs, whether it's the Brave API for data (reddit, HackerNews, etc.), a custom API (perhaps your own API that you've built), Gmail or other mail servers, LinkedIn.

Out-of-the-box it connects to Telegram or other messaging platforms where you talk to it from. It, or some version of "it" will be the agentic layer underpinning much of the software infrastructure we see today. That's how I am seeing it anyway.

Basically, to compare the simple ChatGPT scheduler you can use to OpenClaw: One is like renting a furnished apartment, the other is owning the whole building and being able to add on rooms and renovate however you want.

It's 🤯 !nb
