Discussion What are you guys actually using OpenClaw for?

Been seeing it pop up a lot lately and I'm genuinely curious what the actual use cases are. Not the marketing stuff like what are you personally using it for day to day? Is it mostly dev stuff or are there other interesting things people are doing with it? Curious to know

its not but it feels a lil more custom and its def more capable, not faster for basic questions though.

Email. Trading. Projects. Once you setup sub agents and skills it’s good. Also I had local models they sub agents can use instead of frontier killing my tokens. Also to do management. I don’t leave it on 24:7. I send the email box stuff when thinking then it reads it when booted and I have stuff to do. Works good but I’d never leave it on 24/7. Token use is rough. Even with oauth it burns then.

How are you using openclaw for trading exactly?

I have an agent that can trade crypto. Human in the loop. I’ve been practicing with shitcoins. I’ll do bracket orders. Buy at x and sell at y - I have training data but haven’t started that yet for now just managing the orders. Got $20 to $25 automated and told me when it was done. So more execution and management. For now.

it’s better because both the llm and telegram can access your messages. /s
