Massive move from Claude

Claude can now control your entire computer. Just tested and it actually works really well. Definitely will use it regularly

Does this kill OpenClaw?

Well…no for many reasons.

It’s still in Anthropic’s closed garden. The future is open and model agnostic

For instance on my 2nd computer I have a local version of Qwen 3.5 running. It continuously scans specific websites for business opportunities (for free) 24/7/365

If I wanted to make changes to this automation, I would send a message to my OpenClaw on Telegram. It would then SSH into my DGX Spark, download a new local model if it needs to, load it into memory, then use it as a tool whenever it wants to do a scan. If it doesn’t know how to do any step here, it’ll create its own skill

This will never be possible with Claude. You simply will never be able to leverage other models when necessary that complete tasks the Claude line can’t do. (And obviously you’ll never be able to do anything locally)

Also for reasons I 100% understand, there are guardrails all over Claude that would make it difficult to complete most of those tasks (a lot of what I described introduces a ton of security risks)

Claude is still awesome though. Claude Code is still an amazing, if not the best way to write code. Adding these computer use tools into Claude Code makes it an even more compelling product

I’m a daily Claude Code user and think EVERYONE should be including it in their daily routine

But it’s simply not a general purpose, open, customizable, self improving agent

I would use Claude over OpenClaw if:
• You have no interest in tinkering with or customizing your AI agent
• Are paying for the $200 a month Max plan and have no interest in using other AI models
• If your entire workflow is at the computer (still find the remote/telegram Claude stuff unreliable at the moment)

But if you think this is a replacement for OpenClaw I think it proves you don’t even really know what OpenClaw is, let alone have ever used it

If I’m you I’m muting/blocking every engagement farmer who will quote the post below with “OPENCLAW IS DEAD” and then put some cringe reaction gif of John Hamm dancing or Ryan gosling slowly taking his sunglasses off since I guess those reaction videos are now an algo hack.
