Claude Desktop and Code are built for synchronous, human-in-the-loop interactions. Scraping 3000 janky municipal websites, you need a "fire-and-forget" background worker. Claw lets you kick off a massive job and just get a ping when it's done.
I'd also instantly hit Claude Desktop's rate limits with this I reckon. Since Claw uses APIs, you bypass those limits and can route the messy scraping to cheap models, saving expensive ones for the actual analysis. It also handles Playwright integration and state persistence out of the box so a crash doesn't wipe your progress.
If I'm wrong, I'm open to learning. I'm as new to this as everyone :)
