So i set up Openclaw a few weeks ago 
- setup was clunky and took about a day
- burned through 500m tokens in a week
- no economic value generated

The big problems I noticed were
- it’s hard to get browser working on a VM without it breaking constantly 
- for anything marketing related, LLMs hang on the same idea over and over again which ends up being messaging it would give to anyone
- really super inefficient from a token pov

I probably could have been more thoughtful about how I designed things but then that begs the question, why not just build my own custom harness? If the “hands off” approach couldn’t be figured out in its own 

Curious if anyone has got OpenClaw to do anything useful
