    I’ve been running Clawdbot for the last couple weeks and have genuinely found it useful but running it scares the crap out of me. OpenClaw has 52+ modules and runs agents with near-unlimited permissions in a single Node process. NanoClaw is ~500 lines of core code, agents run in actual Apple containers with filesystem isolation. Each chat gets its own sandboxed context. This is not a swiss army knife. It’s built to match my exact needs. Fork it and make it yours.

    Hi HN, I’ve been following the OpenClaw project and noticed frictions for non-expert users: most discussions and docs are too nerdy... Installing OpenClaw costs lots of brain cells. Uninstalling costs even more! Besides, security/privacy risks exist for non-technical users. So I built ClawSimple, a tool that make deploy and run your own OpenClaw-based assistant easier. With ClawSimple you can: - Spin up one or multiple OpenClaw robots in a few minutes; - Focus on using the assistant instead of wrestling with deployment details. For people who don’t want to pay for a managed service, I…

    Hi everyone, I am Kumar, co-founder of Dench (https://denchclaw.com). We were part of YC S24, an agentic workflow company that previously worked with sales floors automating niche enterprise tasks such as outbound calling, legal intake, etc. Building consumer / power-user software always gave me more joy than FDEing into an enterprise. It did not give me joy to manually add AI tools to a cloud harness for every small new thing, at least not as much as completely local software that is open source and has all the powers of OpenClaw (I can now talk to my CRM on Telegram!). A…

    I run an OpenClaw agent named Jimmy. Jimmy handles SEO tracking, content writing, and code tasks for my projects. Managing it all entirely through chat got messy fast. Thus I built VidClaw. It's a self-hosted dashboard that gives you: - Kanban board where you drag tasks and the agent picks them up automatically - Real-time token usage - Model switching - Soul editor - Skills manager - Activity calendar The whole thing binds to localhost only — you access it through an SSH tunnel. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking. Your data stays on your machine. Stack: React + Vite + Tailwind on the…

    I've been using OpenClaw/Moltbot a lot these past few days. I even set up some of these instances for friends so they, too can enjoy the possibilities of this project. So I thought it would be good to have a way to deploy it for non-tech people, bringing your own key and avoiding expensive markups in their prices. I plan to provide easy plans to setup without needing accounts in OpenAI/Anthropic/Google but for now, people can BOYK and set it up for a reasonable price and control their instance entirely.

    Hey HN, I'm Daniel, solo dev from Germany. I built ClawHosters (https://clawhosters.com), a managed hosting platform for OpenClaw, the open-source AI agent framework. Quick timeline: domain registered February 5th. First paying customer six days later. I probably should have spent more time on it, but it works. If you haven't seen OpenClaw, it lets you run a personal AI assistant that connects to Telegram, Discord, Slack, and WhatsApp. Self-hosting it is absolutely possible, but it's a pain. You're dealing with Docker setup, SSL certs, port forwarding, security hardening, keeping…

    Hi HN, I’m the creator of pycoClaw. I wanted to run OpenClaw-class, platform-agnostic, autonomous agents on MicroPython hardware, but standard tools couldn't handle the scale of the task. pycoClaw is the result, which bridges the gap between high-level AI reasoning and bare-metal execution. The Stack: - PFC Agent (~26k LOC): A full-featured agent that uses an LLM to 'self-program' its own local MicroPython scripts. Once a task is solved, it runs locally without requiring the LLM. - ScriptoStudio IDE: A PWA https://scriptostudio.com designed for the iteration speed required by…
