Openclaw has been a nightmare…constant crashes, port conflicts, etc… Even building a simple Mission Control dashboard has been an adventure. Failure on daily basis. Bottom line, totally over hyped by the YouTube so called creators.
Real
So I’ve been using Claude code, I like not worrying about certain file systems being accessed with out my permission. I’m hesitant on installing openclaw
14:27 That chart is a good example of how LLMs should not be blindly trusted, that color palette makes it super hard to see which bar is for Claw and which is for Claude Code.
What about claudeclaw?
Color choice of the Verdict graph is pretty awful actually. The other color should be absolutely completely different , not just a barely different shade of the same color.
I mean there's just two items, lol.
I just want one which will feed me the best information and allow me to be in the industry longer. I love my job…Software Architect for years..moving and managing AI engineers. If it can help me lets go
You are forgetting ollama cloud models for $20 a month
You are forgetting one Huge important point. Claud code has limitations by design. The Creators will not let you do certain things! So for me it’s useless! I need Freedom and my Morality which is actually superior to Those who create restrictions, is my guide!
Freedom is the Key! Anything g to do with Meta or Microsoft has so many restrictions because they just want to control you!
Fully agree with this take. OpenClaw feels like raising a kid – you have to invest time structuring everything upfront (SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, memory files) almost like running a software project. It does help with daily life stuff, but I don't see it replacing real work tools anytime soon. Claude Code is way more productive for actual tasks, but it's not personal – OpenClaw has that "companion" vibe that Claude Code just doesn't have. Different tools for different purposes 🤷
I'm documenting my OpenClaw journey on my channel: youtube.com/@wuki22
Yes amazing. I doubt it was a billion acquisition though lol unless Sam Altman wanted to win that bet with his friends
Hey Craig, you seem to be an normal / honest guy and I also have the feeling that you are (kind of) a professional, but what suprises me is:
1) you claim that you watched/listened many videos about OpenClaw (even listening to vids in the gym)
2) you say that not many use OpenClaw for business (Quote: "I'm just not finding massively impactful use cases for it yet outside of kind of trivial things")
Does "business" also include small businesses and small teams in your understanding?
If yes, I wonder if you have ever heard of Matthew Berman. His channel has 577k subscribers, his team uses OpenClaw a lot and he also seems to be a pro to me. So if you really watched so many videos, as you claim, you should have found his quite big channel too right?!
To be honest, it seems you lack a bit of ideas how to really use OpenClaw for business. Or you are maybe a bit dishonest because selling your consulting services using Claude Code works better for you. I invested 17:42 minutes in watching your video and because you like to talk about ROI, I would give your video a rating of 4/10 and a credibility rating of 5/10 compared to other videos about OpenClaw. Some usefull tipps for sure but all sounds very general. No specific, detailed examples, very general information. To be honest I am just getting started but it seems the first OpenClaw video where I did not learn a lot. Maybe free content is just not your primary goal. Too everybody else: Check out Matthew Berman. He gives away free insights how he uses OpenClaw for his business and it seems really credible. He is definitively a skilled IT professional and not a sort of "fake guru" or sales expert. Here is one of his best videos about OpenClaw:

Keep following your Youtube gurus for Ai and pay $200 a month 🙌🏼
8:35 Claude /loop was announced today 🙂
I’ve been in the absolutely love Claude Code and my daily driver camp and wondering what I would use OpenClaw for? Just give me 5-10 real world use cases is all I ask haha.
You're comparing Apples vs Oranges
thanks for being real
Super helpful. A great starting point for people who want to try out different AI tools. Really helps me understand to tryout which for what use case. Thanks for sharing
Yes, "the reality is coming quick", this is a great video, but possibly outdated already. Claude is now in the passing lane on accessability: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg74Di2Yc88
You were great in lil Nicky
Help what is an SSH
Great video.
8:20 Slides are switched around in case you want to fix that.
Thanks for a very appropriate analysis. Something I had in my mind and you said it. Claude is the way to go for now. Appreciate. Crisp and to the point.
bro the fact that you can run openclaw through codex subscription instead of api openclaw already wins a $20-$200/mo sub vs $100/day through claude
You can also just build your own always-on 24/7 agent that communicates with you via whatever channel(s) you want, in Claude Code. This is what I ended up doing. Tied into Plane as a project management hub. Orchestrates every frontier and major chinese model so they can work as a team. ClawdBot was cute for about a week.
Opem claw is flawless to me if you setit up right ive been a tech infused for thirty years and this is insane.
Open claw runs fine on a container on my Linux system. It doesn't require a Mac Mini or as vps in the cloud. I have two instances of it running on two different machines. Plus I have zeroclaw running on a Rpi 4.
Both testing and both in docker containers. Made a gateway for the tools I am giving it (no direct credentials, just proxy one and e.g. for email just let it to prepare drafts, not send response). With this setup I run both in headless and it works. No incident till now. (When enchriching new app from CC by new features I am locking old unit and architecture tests from CC writting, no unwanted changes then…)
I call BS on point 1 and 3. Scaremongering about OpenClaw as usual. It's security is much improved over the last 2 weeks and there's plenty of tips online on how to improve sandboxing locally. Cost: You can add Ollama and free models locally and have that deal with the simple tasks – thereby reducing cost 80 to 90 percent. So in my book its even steven
Hey Craig, yes we’re using openclaw as a fully integrated chief of staff and chief operating officer for a large hospitality, food and beverage operating company. Integrated it into our core systems. It does analysis for us. Produces reports runs complete workflows and has produced a significant ROI already we use Claude Code and Codex to develop more comprehensive applications and that’s a better working environment for that as a real programming environment, even if you’re not writing a code but openclaw can be used to automate complex workflows and run things autonomously to replace humans or enhance productivity in real outcomes. They both screw up and you need to verify everything… setup, code completeness, what it does w data from api calls… everything. None of this is “ask it do something and close your eyes”
I'm in financing that's the top of the town to use open claw it's funny because security is so important but right now I run my whole set up and content organization with code and anything I do. I do with Thot code eventually when I have things more set up I'm gonna switch to open class. Thanks for this video but right now I don't need that type of power
And then there was Claude Cowork and this Feb 2026 video became outdated in… Feb 2026.
i started watching not expecting much in terms of quality info… and that was confirmed – seems like ideation and script came from ai
I’ve come to very different conclusions. OpenClaw is taking friction out of building mini apps. Every day I think of new use cases for marketers. Data analysis, content creation, competitive research, social media assistant. I think OpenClaw is the future.
You can run subscription based CC on the same vps using sdk – "cloude -p…" And connect it to any messager. Then it will help you fix openclaw on the same machine or do anything else really.
But it is not anthropic API. Don't need to pay for tokens the normal way. Just limits.
You non techy guys aren't there yet with OpenClaw. Stick with Claude Cowork. But OpenClaw is a level up to create a team of agents.
Just run OpenClaw into headless Claude Code? Bypass the Pi framework? Then it’s not Claude Code versus OpenClaw, it’s OpenClaw powered by Claude Code!
I'm sorry.. You can't compare OC to CC.. Two different systems.. In fact hearing you talk highlights the poor knowledge you have..
Understand the architecture before you post a tube for ratings.. Unfollowing.
Bro used the same color blue for both Claude Code and Open Claw in the The Verdict chart 14:01
🤦♂
Love the new Claude code update but it’s still buggy af. When your context fills up the agent stops responding. Every one of my remote sessions has ended with the agent no longer responding.
I have a Dell computer 64 gigs of RAM what’s wrong with the PC especially if the ram is there
Solid test, but privacy and data sovereignty are a big missing variable here. Running locally vs cloud isn’t just about speed — it’s about control. For businesses handling proprietary data, that’s not a minor detail.
Thank you for a sober grown up video about the hype
Just the video I needed. Tvm. Been using both but struggling to find use cases for OpenClaw. Maxing out Claude code all the time on other hand. Kept wondering what I wasn't understanding about OpenClaw. My phone is already currently my always on personal assistant. Think my brain needs to go through a paradigm shift before I get my aha moment with claw.
I do use my anthropic subscription plan with openclaw.
Its already old news. Welcome to AI
Well. I used Claude Code to set up my Open Claw instance in a Vagrant VM on a VPS and configured a Docker Traefik proxy and Netbird hybrid mesh network…. Claude Code was when the paradigm shift happened
Claude code runs in other formats beyond just the terminal, including a standalone desktop app (outside of your IDE or terminal) and as a VS Code extension. The standalone desktop app is the most user friendly tho
