2 they’ve recently optimized token usage
3. Anthropic did lock it down at the same time they did OpenCode, but the guys worked around it
Like it’s cool that your downloads folder, digital notes and emails are all properly organized and tags. But they reason they were in that state to begin with is because you don’t inherently derive value from their organization. Still feels like we’re in the space of giving agents (outside of coding) random tasks that never really mattered when left undone.
You don’t derive more value from their organization than the cost of manually organizing them.
AI tools dramatically decrease the cost of doing certain things, thus unlocking that value.
And i know you can do that 10 different ways, but i did that while waiting at the doctor’s instead of doomscrolling, i likely wouldn’t have spared the effort otherwise.
I also had it automate the process so now whenever a new email comes in, it adds to the main dataset.
- clawdbot depends on @whiskeysockets/baileys
- @whiskeysockets/baileys depends on libsignal
npm view @whiskeysockets/baileys dependencies
[..] libsignal: 'git+https://github.com/whiskeysockets/libsignal-node.git', [..]
libsignal is not a regular npm package but a GitHub repository, which need to be cloned and built locally.
So suddenly, my sandbox profile, tuned for npm package installation no longer works because npm decides to treat my system as a build environment.
May be genuine use-case but its hard to keep up.
I also tried using Siri to tell me the weather forcast while I was driving to the park. It asked me to auth into my phone. Then it asked me to approve location access. I guess it was secure but I never figured out what the weather forecast was.
Thankfully it didn't rain on my picnic. Some of the parents there asked me if their investors should be interested in clawd.
Is there some missing and frequently used 4th option, here? Or some other route that you'd expect? Presumably it needs to get packages via some method.
Also as of the time of writing theres 337 open issues on the repo, many of which are bug reports and security issues. This thing isn't close to stable.
About the maintainer's github:
688 commits on Nov 25, 2025... out of which 296 commits were in clawdbot, IN ONE DAY, he prolly let lose an agent on the project for a few hours...
he has more than 200 commits on an average per day, but mostly 400-500 commits per day, and people are still using this project without thinking of the repercussions)
Now, something else i researched:
Someone launched some crypto on this, has $6M mktcap
https://www.coincarp.com/currencies/clawdbot/
Crypto people hyping clawed: https://x.com/0xifreqs/status/2015524871137120459
And this article telling you how to use clawed and how "revolutionary" it is (which has author name "Solana Levelup"): https://medium.com/@gemQueenx/clawdbot-ai-the-revolutionary-...
Make of that what you will
Yes, he AI generated all of it, go through his articles at https://steipete.me/ to see how he does it, it’s definitely not “vibe coding”, he does make sure that what’s being output is solid.
He was one of the people in the top charts of using Claude Code a year back, which brought around the limits we know today.
He also hosts Claude Code anonymous meetups all over the world.
He’s overall a passionate developer that cares about the thing he’s building.
The question is "why do people need fainting couches for this project and why are they pretending like 3 year old features of apis that already exist in thousands of projects are brand new innovations exclusive to this?"
The answer is: "the author is celebrity and some people are delusional screaming fanboys"
My response is: "that's bullshit. let's be adults"
If you don't feel like being an adult...
X is the only place to learn about the latest developments on AI coding. And yes, you do have to sift through a lot of idiots on there and a lot of scams and bots, but the point remains.
As a Reddit user - Reddit's tech talk quality is quite lower than X. Don't know about TikTok, haven't used it, I imagine it's the same as Youtube.
X is a dumpster fire for sure, but there's still quality people on there that push the latest on what's happening. It's where the tech companies first announce things and it's where the discussion around those gets picked up.
He sounds like someone who has just vibe coded shit until something stuck to the wall. I also find it hard to respect people who create things which are 99-100% coded by an LLM, with zero technical merit or skill. Again, just creating slop until something goes viral.
As far as I can see Clawdbot is just more AI-slop. Anyone can create the same thing (and many have created similar) over a weekend. It's riddled with bugs, security holes, and it's a disaster waiting to happen basically.
He's written up hundreds of articles on different topics in the community and is very much a skilled developer, with tons of technical merit.
Now you come along with your small mind and a hard on for AI-hate and all you can comprehend is that nothing can challenge your world view so you reach out and attack what you don't understand. That just defines you as ignorant.
What's the innovation here? Local model? That was always possible. Toolcalling? Been around a couple years now...
It's like 5 minutes of vibe coding at most. There's likely 1,000s of similar projects already on GitHub
I had 3 friends ping me yesterday to tell me how this is going to eat their job....
but i don't see how this is different from claude-code + some chat interface + mcp servers
I agree, but it also rhymes a lot with the infamous “why use Dropbox when you can just use rsync” comment. Convenience can be a game changer.
This is the kind of project I saw at hackathons in 2023 by teams that didn't win anything
Not saying it really is useful, but there are values bundling an easier interface to CC with battery included.
So it's not just batteries-included, it's probably 100-vulnerabilities-included as well
(I have the same sentiment about manifest v3 and adblocker, but somehow HN groupthink is very different there than here)
Edit: imagine cowork was released like this. HN would go NUTS.
That's the biggest difference I can tell.
Claude-code is closed-source. That is a good enough reason to look at alternatives.
(I don't _love_ his vibes on Twitter, but he seems like a very reasonable guy generally, and the project seems awesome)
the crypto is obviously not official and just another scam, trying to ride the popularity
Make of that what you will
look at his contribution graph, it's absolutely wild
i don't have time to open source it, but it's low key revolutionary having a pretty smart AI looking at my life every day and helping me track the three most important things to do.
What are you doing for storage? Markdown files for each day or something?
Sounds great!
We tried this with friends and it is truly magical (while crazy insecure) - i can ask my agent to search friends life, their preferences, about their calendars, what films they are watching. It can look at emails and find if you need something and go to people around asking for help. It is truly magical. Very very curious where it can go. At the moment it is exceptionally easy to exfiltrate anything, but you still can control via proper prompts - what you want to share and what you dont want to. I bet models will became better and eventually it wont be a problem.
I assume this relates to looking at their desktop activity? Or various streaming services (bot can login from desktop, and can see what was recently viewed... Even if viewed on smart tv etc?

You can? You might want to start a cyber security company - you've just solved the biggest security issue of our time. That, or you're overly optimistic?
