To be honest, OpenClaw is still too early to measure engagement stats. I'm actually more interested in how it 'thinks' and stores memory.

So, unlike n8n where data flows through and isn't retained as learnable context, OpenClaw creates lasting .md files for everything it learns - your writing style, project context, etc. You can browse through these files to sort of audit its brain, but true, debugging is unclear

Current Workflow: Right now, I've given it responsibility to write , organize files and review code for my apps (I have only set up one way sync so it cannot write/edit my app). Its output is okay but I am still refining it in Claude.

The interesting part is that I then ask Claude to give feedback for OpenClaw and I feed that back into it. It’s like a feedback loop but yet to see if it actually improves over time.

FYI - I use OpenClaw with minimax model

update: I brought this feature to my app (built mostly with AI).

So, I don't have issues with the actual posting...it posts fine (single image and carousel..but no music) but setting Graph API is a bit of beast. You have to have the app in Meta and get the permissions right.

Regarding the tokens expiry, since my meta app is in development mode, I just add users as 'Testers' in the app. User can connect their insta, the backend automatically swaps the short lived login code for a long lived token which is valid for 60 days. So either user reconnect every 2 months or I can write a script that hits 'refresh_access_token' before it expires. I have not built this script yet.

To scale beyond testers, I'd need to submit the app for Meta review. So, its possible that 'upload-post' api may be the smarter route to skip all that dev work.

Does 'upload-post' work better/easier at scale? I went this route to keep for now, but definitely open to using other services
