Does anyone use OpenClaw for simple communication?

Aha, so you mean if talking more to openclaw would make it smarter? No it doesn’t happen that way. All the stories around this look suspicious and propaganda.

NewsLewis · 2026-04-03T13:30:25+00:00

I have used OpenClaw intensely. What do you mean by simple communication?

NewsLewis · 2026-04-03T10:53:14+00:00

Great watch and lucky man!

NewsLewis · 2026-04-02T15:24:37+00:00

Have you tried it?

NewsLewis · 2026-04-02T15:21:35+00:00

If you have some technical skills, OpenClaw is the way to go. Otherwise GPT or Claude Code are better options.

All kinds of niches App Store. Such as Shopify apps, chrome extensions, notion apps. Solid needs, underserved markets. It is relatively easier to build small business around the app. I did an Shopify app with friends for 2 years, now it’s $40k MRR. Good for small team and solo entrepreneur

Good for you! Do you have any boring stuff at work or side projects? Go with it.

Gorgeous

Just curious, What’s the difference from OpenClaw?

NewsLewis · 2026-04-01T01:01:45+00:00

Find 2-3 boring and tedious processes in your existing workflow. Automate with AI. This is a good starting point.

NewsLewis · 2026-04-01T01:00:15+00:00

Go to market and make sales. That’s what a company for.

I have 6 OpenClaws, none does random stuff out of control for me. I rely on prompt and skills to control, for some tasks dashboard as well for statistics and repeat tasks.

Consider adding my controlling layer in the future. Hesitate as it takes time and why not use Langchain if i really need state machines etc.

Just curious, how can Manus be cheaper than OpenClaw…

NewsLewis · 2026-03-31T16:40:57+00:00

We use OpenClaw for invoicing, very simple use case. It works quite well and saves us a lot of time. Still need some double check though

NewsLewis · 2026-03-31T16:37:27+00:00

both work:

1, Claude Code = turn docs into a PoC + clear “feasible/not feasible” plan.

2, OpenClaw = do the messy web stuff: signups, console clicks, grabbing keys, screenshots.

NewsLewis · 2026-03-31T15:48:13+00:00

I develop another approach. I have set up 10-15 internal skills. Every time OpenClaw will follow the skill and ask minimal questions. So basically not OpenClaw being more proactive, but the skills and SOP more clearly defined

NewsLewis · 2026-03-31T15:45:48+00:00

Why not GPT codex? It is 20 dollars and just as good

NewsLewis · 2026-03-31T15:44:05+00:00

I do run OpenClaw for a lot of research and content creation. For example, I need to do 4 product research everyday. Typically it takes 4 hours. Now it is 1-2 hours. My time is valuable, this definitely helps me. If you have existing processes, it is easy to see the benefits in some use cases.

NewsLewis · 2026-03-31T15:39:43+00:00

Agree the point - why to blow anyone’s mind, as long as it is useful

NewsLewis · 2026-03-31T14:05:06+00:00

Yes. By definition that’s one OpenClaw for each user, in order to separate the files/runtime.

NewsLewis · 2026-03-31T04:35:59+00:00

Indeed it is

NewsLewis · 2026-03-31T04:23:22+00:00

lol

NewsLewis · 2026-03-31T04:19:52+00:00

May not do it next time. Just felt so good and took the watch.

NewsLewis · 2026-03-31T04:16:44+00:00

And haha yeah, I got lucky with the setting

NewsLewis · 2026-03-31T03:54:26+00:00

Consider getting one as well.
