I finally decided to give OpenClaw a try. I was just waiting for it to get a stable name 😀 If you’re in the X bubble, you probably got tired of OpenClaw posts by now. But if you’re someone who actually has a personal life and doesn’t scroll X every 5 minutes, here’s the deal. OpenClaw is an open-source personal AI assistant that you run on your own machine. You connect it to Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, or whatever you use, and it becomes your always-on AI agent. It can browse the web, schedule...
