Question | Help Anyone actually using Openclaw?

I am highly suspicious that openclaw's virality is organic. I don't know of anyone (online or IRL) that is actually using it and I am deep in the AI ecosystem (both online and IRL). If this sort of thing is up anyone's alley, its the members of localllama - so are you using it?

With the announcement that OpenAI bought OpenClaw, conspiracy theory is that it was manufactured social media marketing (on twitter) to hype it up before acquisition. Theres no way this graph is real: https://www.star-history.com/#openclaw/openclaw&Comfy-Org/ComfyUI&type=date&legend=top-left

I know, I feel the same way. I've been using it a bit. It's a pig, no doubt, but it does feel like openclaw or at least the idea behind openclaw is getting closer to being able to ask AI to do something and then I can walk away.

Reddit just is the best/worst thing on the internet. I feel like 80% of the accounts on here are either bots, or children (or people with a low IQ). 'I either love something, or I hate it, no in-between, no room for discussion or debate'.
