Introduction #
Actually, I tried OpenClaw two months ago, but since it was cold back then, I was cooped up in bed all the time and barely wrote any articles.
Initially, I installed it on Windows as my main PC, but after realizing it could automatically delete files and install software, I got a bit worried about security, so I migrated it to a Raspberry Pi.
I am now giving instructions to OpenClaw via Discord.
Website Building #
At first, I asked it to make a site to record the anime I’ve watched, and it actually built it, which was incredibly interesting.
先日大話題になったOpenClaw をRaspberry Pi にインストールしてみた。「アニメを記録するサイトが欲しい」と言って本当に作ってくれた…（コーティングやサーバの構築など一切してない。Discord でチャットのみ行った）これめっちゃえぐい pic.twitter.com/ilhDRO8uWv

However, after I sent a few more requests for fixes, the site broke. No matter what I said, it couldn’t be fixed.
Scheduled Tasks #
You can also have OpenClaw perform scheduled tasks. I told it to tell me the weather every morning, and sure enough, a weather message appeared every single morning.
However, even when I told it to stop, this scheduled task kept running every morning.
Thanks to that, I was woken up every day. 💢
I could have easily stopped the notifications by muting Discord, but as a tech enthusiast, I felt like that would be admitting defeat, so I just left it alone…
In the end, I stopped it by SSH-ing in and clearing the cron folder.
Git #
Apparently, OpenClaw can use Git on its own, but I only succeeded twice.
It’s quite normal for me to see “OpenClaw-san” claiming success when, in reality, nothing was pushed or pulled.
I’m using xAI’s free API, so maybe the performance is just poor?
By the way, I heard that free API has been discontinued. 😇
Conclusion #
In conclusion, OpenClaw is interesting.
I’ve been concentrating on other things, so I haven’t put much energy into OpenClaw, which is why I couldn’t get it to work perfectly.
Looking at it now, some of these features will likely be integrated into PCs in the future.
However, I don’t think it’s a “next-gen” leap in the same way ChatGPT was when OpenAI released it.
Especially from a security perspective, I think it’s difficult at this stage.
It’s a complicated topic, isn’t it? Because no one knows what the future holds.
But on the flip side, I think it will be useful for electronic hobbyist robots and things like that. Maybe the world will be flooded with all sorts of interesting electronic DIY ideas in the future.
The future looks exciting.
