If you use OpenClaw now can you tell us how it's going?

I used it to try it out. Security wise I don't trust it at all so I had it running in a VM and local models.

It was able to create an application that Claude created, using the same instructions file. Considerably slower but I was surprised it could do it.

I used it initially. It was great and useful but the api costs were pretty high..

Now, I use claude code directly on my machine with the remote control flag.. so its like open claw exactly. I can be outside and give commands to it via mobile app

I've been using it since about February, still using it. It's running on my old M1 MBP. I have a lot of automations on OpenClaw, things like "Every week summarize this data and send me a message about it" or "check when a new version of an NPM package comes out and submit a PR to update it."

It's quite expensive from a value per token perspective. It's quite cheap from a "send one message from my phone and it does something probably productive" perspective. No major security breaches yet.
