if you haven't tried moltbot (formerly clawdbot) i would recommend it.
Yes, there are some security issues but at the end of the day this is a very new project with a lot of momentum. It’s going to evolve as more people start using and building on it. What we’re seeing right now feels like the first "real AI assistant" in practice.:)
It's interesting how many ideas Peter and I shared in common, but I suppose it was just a coincidence.
