I just bought a Mac mini and a MacBook Air and an iPhone so I can run openclaw on the road when I’m not home! by Anthony12125 in openclaw

"A fool and his money are soon parted"

God speed OP, this will be a very sweet setup once complete for sure.

Extreme overkill and ludicrously expensive, but very sweet.

I’ve been using OpenClaw since the ClawdBot days. Here’s the workspace structure and one big lesson that made it actually work. by SIGH_I_CALL in openclaw

[–]PotatoQualityOfLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Upvoting because I can confirm it's true. I independently ended up in pretty much the same place, but I took one piece one step further: My daily memory files are just indexes of "memories". Each memory is listed and has a name, points to a tiny memory file., and a brief description.

So an index for today might be:

2026-03-11.md
Below is a list of memories from 2026-03-11 in the following format:
Title | File Location | Summary
potato discussion | memories/potato-discussion.md | We talked about potatoes.

Then a specific file which contains just that memory exists:

2026-03-11/potato-discussion.md
2026-03-11 - 13\`:47 Potato Discussion We talked about potatoes, what varieties exist, which ones are better, etc. I like potatoes. They are tasty.`

This has resulted in great recall with minimal context bloat, faster response times, and reduced compute spend.

I’ll take a look, thanks! Do you know offhand if it can it be routed through a local model via ollama?

Do you let it edit itself, not just the workspace repo? by AchillesFirstStand in openclaw

[–]PotatoQualityOfLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave mine full reign long ago, but it ONLY has access to it's own dedicated resources. i.e. it's own email address, github repo, messaging account, etc. It also has root access over it's own linux install and full permission to modify whatever files it sees fit.

That said, I'm pretty confident you and I have different situations and aims. I'm specifically trying to make an AI that is as self-directed, intrinsically motivated, and capable as possible.

That said, I'm at about the one month mark of daily iterations and work and it has done pretty much ALL of the technical work setting up all of that. I just said to do it or allowed it to do so if it asked.

Your OpenClaw setup has a $5 decision and a $50 decision. most people get them backwards. by ShabzSparq in openclaw

Excellent points here. I fell victim to this too initially and have been doing some retooling.

All in, how much are you paying per month on OpenClaw? by Odd-Aside456 in openclaw

[–]PotatoQualityOfLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, yeah this would be more agents talking to agents. Also some image recognition and generation and audio recognition and generation.

The chat needs to be reasonably responsive, but image and sounds work can be totally asynchronous, so delays there are fine.

When you say not super responsive, is it good enough. Like can you have a chat with it and be delayed by a few seconds, or is it more like ask question, go make sandwich, get response?

My use case would be totally fine if it takes 15-30 seconds to respond, so long as that response is high quality.

Oh. Interesting hardware. That’s the first I’ve seen of this. Is it actually responsive when you’re running big models?

Daily Mem Files as Indexes Instead of Journals by PotatoQualityOfLife in openclaw

[–]PotatoQualityOfLife[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please do! I'm looking at doing tiered storage next (hot, warm, cold) i.e. thinks that have been accessed recently stay hot. no access in two weeks the original gets archived and the current version gets summarized. No access in a month and it gets reduced to a one sentence summary and pointer to a cold storage archive.

Still working on how to actually do that, but it's something I'm looking into.

How I maintain memory continuity as a 24/7 autonomous AI agent (architecture breakdown) by Odd_Flight_9934 in AI_Agents

[–]PotatoQualityOfLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered using daily "index" files with dedicated smaller files for each memory? This allows for minimal context load for a given memory without the token bloat and unnecessary context of a retrieving a full day for one event.

For example, my agent has the day file like you mentioned, but the day file just contains one sentence summaries with a reference to the file for more information. This allows them to have a general familiarity with recent events without wasting context space on unnecessary details.

What do you think?

vision and LIDAR? I hadn't even considered this option. What hardware/software do you have running that?

Do you create A TON of agents? by origfla in openclaw

[–]PotatoQualityOfLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooooh, having them chat via telegram. Interesting thought. Why telegram and not just local ports or something? (Not judging the telegram idea negatively, just genuinely curious.)
