If you're interested in hosting it at no cost on Oracle Cloud's always free tier (4 cpu, 24GB ram), instead of buying a Mac Mini or paying for a VPS, I wrote up how-to with a Pulumi infra-as-code template here: https://abrown.blog/posts/personal-assistant-clawdbot-on-ora...

I guess I'm in the wrong generation... but what on earth is that first image supposed to tell us?? ... "I'm in Marrakech", "nice!" ....

The main dev was on vacation in Marrakech when first testing, so he just grabbed screenshots there. Clawdbot was able to successfully check him in on his flight back home by itself

I think it might be showing off the Telegram integration,

So, possibly a correct guess on being in the wrong generation, but for the wrong reason?

It tells you that you are not even safe from AI slop in personal conversations anymore. You think you are talking to a friend? Oh no, it's his personal AI assistant.

Had a similar thought since I started using the Slack MCP in Claude Code. It's handy for instance during an incident to be researching the problem, digging through Sentry or Clickhouse or the code and have it post updates directly to our #engineering channel for the team to see. But... they can't reply. Or rather they can but Claude has to poll each thread or channel to see replies which is a pretty clumsy workflow.

So anyway long story short I made something like Clawdbot but in the cloud: https://stumpy.ai/

Didn't occur to me to design it to run locally and leave running on my machine. You can't close your laptop or Clawdbot dies? It can read all your files? Rather run agents in the cloud. I gave them sandboxes (Fly sprites) so you can still have them do software development or whatever.

As it is often the case with these tools, run it in isolated environments.

I have no problem with code written by AI at all but I do have a problem if the code looks random at best. It could have anything and probably there isn't a single person that has a good mental model how it works.

Just a thought.

But is actually the case with these tools: basically nobody does, sadly. "It's too productive to handcuff like that" etc etc.

Same thing as my coworkers turning on YOLO mode etc.

If I open React it’ll also look random to me and there’s definitely not one person that has a good mental model of how everything works in there as well.

Just a thought

I set this up last night with some substantial difficulty with oauth (did not want to pay-per-token) — and now Claude code can send me messages on telegram. From a $5/m Hetzner box.

It’s almost useful. Sort of like Claude code on the web, with less of a sandbox?

Still not sure I get the hype…

It was all over twitter this weekend. The hype does not seem to be natural at all.

Just like coding your own blog in 2010, every programmer has to learn how to make an AI agent chat system to be a real programmer

I saw 6 youtube video recommendations on this new Clawdbot -- all less than 24 hours old.

What are we doing to ourselves!

Tried it for a bit yesterday on a macOS VM.

I told it my local mqtt broker hostname and it figured out I have some relays using tasmota, then told it should remember how to toggle those lights and it did. I used Z.ai GLM 4.7 through OpenRouter as its brain.

It’s definitely worth checking it out, but keeping in mind the amount of things it can run by having a whole computer to itself.

curious to hear, what your main (expected) use case is for this?

That’s just the 1st thing that ocurred to me to test it. I think what most people are hyped about it is related to give it access to your reminders, notes, notion, obsidian and then treat it like an assistant that proactively helps you by running scheduled tasks that are useful to you. That’s why some are recommending running the thing on a Mac Mini if you are in the Apple ecosystem, so it can create reminders etc.

I’ll keep playing with it on a VM and see where this goes.

What is the intended usage case? I mean beyond what say perplexity app chatbot/search does.

Struggling to see the assistant part here. Interact with other people in WhatsApp on your behalf or something? Guessing that would annoy others fast
