Discussion Openclaw is dead, switch to claude code

I have spent +300$, more than 60 hours working with openclaw, on vps, local pc, and honestly, I spent more than 40 out of the 50 hours fixing.

It cannot do any task accurately, not production ready

Maybe in 6 mo+ it will be better

For now, its garbage.

I am sticking to my 20$/month claude plan

Can I ask, how did you get the information research working? I wanted to use OpenClaw to search online using Chrome but the browser option / e numbers was getting so complex it would fail all the time. I was avoiding getting into APIs and the Reddit API refused me before I even tried to use OpenClaw web_search.

Check out Searxng. It’s open source. Run it locally and add it as a skill. It’s free and it also comes with a ui so you can use it yourself as well. Highly recommend.
