I've been running OpenClaw for about 2 weeks now. Here's my honest take: What's great:
- Having Claude in WhatsApp/Telegram is actually life-changing for quick tasks
- The skills ecosystem is clever (basically plugins for AI)
- Self-hosted means full control over data What's not:
- Token usage can get expensive fast if you're not careful
- Setup is intimidating for non-technical folks
- The rebrand drama (Clawdbot → Moltbot → OpenClaw) didn't help trust My setup:
- Running in Docker on a cheap VPS
- Using Anthropic API (not unofficial/scraped)
- Strict rate limiting to avoid bill shock
- Sandbox mode enabled Is it worth it? For me, yes. But I wouldn't recommend it to my non-technical friends without a solid setup guide. |
