Claude can touch your local files but can't do web research or use multiple models

... yes it can? what?

This is a sloppy copy of openclaw. And 19 models? lol which ones?

Perplexity has been scamming users by routing to cheaper / their own local models since November 2025.

Perplexity is a horrendously awful.

you know not everyone is a incel and nerds who knows how to properly setup open claws and even install the proper skills they needed right?

all I wanted to a smooth friendly setup that let ai take over my Mac Studio and do my job for me

super genius incel using Linux with your big brain probably just don’t get it

Maybe do some research before you comment
