There are a few qualitative product experiences that make claw agents unique.

One is that it relentlessly strives thoroughly to complete tasks without asking you to micromanage it.

The second is that it has personality.

The third is that it's artfully constructed so that it feels like it has infinite context.

The above may sound purely circumstantial and frivolous. But together it's the first agent that many people who usually avoid AI simply LOVE.

Claws read from markdown files for context, which feels nothing like infinite. That's like saying McDonalds makes high quality hamburgers.

The "relentlessness" is just a cron heartbeat to wake it up and tell it to check on things it's been working on. That forced activity leads to a lot of pointless churn. A lot of people turn the heartbeat off or way down because it's so janky.

Not arguing with your other points, but I can't imagine "people who usually avoid AI" going through the motions to host OpenClaw.

Can you give some example for what you use it for? I understand giving a summary of what's waiting in your inbox but what else?
