What are we doing to ourselves!
Struggling to see the assistant part here. Interact with other people in WhatsApp on your behalf or something? Guessing that would annoy others fast
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.
I’ll keep playing with it on a VM and see where this goes.
Isn't this just a basic completion loop with toolcalling hooked up to a universal chat gateway?
Isn't that a one shot chatgpt prompt?
(Yes it is: https://chatgpt.com/share/6976ca33-7bd8-8013-9b4f-2b417206d0...)
Why's everyone couch fainting over this?
It looks far too risky to use, even if I have it sequestered in its own VM. I'm not comfortable with its present state.
It sounds interesting to me, I might install it on a cheap Mini PC with Ubuntu. This can't come at any worst time as storage and RAM has gotten astronomical. I feel bad for people who are just starting to build their first rig and an alt rig for this.
While I have not interfaced my AI with all the services that Clawdbot does (WhatsApp, Slack, etc.) I don't think that is too much of a stretch from my very simple build.
You point it at your email, and you've opened a vector for prompt injection and data exfiltration - all as an integral part of the features you want (read my emails, send some emails).
Your local LLM won't protect you there.
You could probably write some limited tools (whitelist where mail could be sent) - but it goes against the grain of "magically wonderful ai secretary".
Security is not a convenience.
Also you can use any other model - Codex, MiniMax, etc
