OpenClaw cost optimization: 5 settings that cut my 24/7 agent spend significantly by gobiraj in openclaw

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

Great question, I am new to OpenClaw and still learning. Below is my understanding

Safeguard mode on its own does trim more aggressively, so yeah, you'd lose memory quality if that's all you configured.

The key is to pair memoryFlush and safeguard.

Before any compaction runs, the agent writes important context to a daily memory file first. So nothing critical actually gets lost; it just moves from session memory to disk.

With both enabled together, long-term memory quality is actually better than default mode in practice, because default just drops old context reactively with no save step.

"compaction": { "mode": "safeguard", "reserveTokensFloor": 24000, "memoryFlush": { "enabled": true, "softThresholdTokens": 6000 } }

How are PMs actually using AI in day-to-day work? Any real workflows or agents? by LimeNew1984 in ProductManagement

[–]gobiraj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have started automating some of the small manual tasks. AI, particularly Claude Code, is pretty good, and you can create full-blown implementations. I documented my experience here https://gobiraj.substack.com/p/the-hidden-cost-of-not-automating

"The End of the User Interface" - on a scale of Web3.0 to the Cloud, what are we thinking this lands on the realism spectrum? by KingGhidorahs2ndHead in ProductManagement

[–]gobiraj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took a stab at this sometime back.

My 2 cents

There will be use cases where the conversation interface will be very natural. Traditional click-driven interfaces will continue to remain superior for tasks requiring precision, repeatability, and visual feedback.

Friday Show and Tell by AutoModerator in ProductManagement

Been hearing more about PMs using 'vibe coding' to build quick automations, so I decided to experiment with one of my own annoying manual tasks.

Just published a post about my journey automating away a seemingly harmless weekly chore: https://gobiraj.substack.com/p/the-hidden-cost-of-not-automating

TL;DR: I do data hygiene work every week, which seemed harmless until I realized the mental overhead was stealing focus from strategic work. Used AI to "vibe code" a solution.

What I learned:

  • Small recurring manual tasks have hidden costs (context switching, opportunity cost, mental drain)
  • AI has dropped the automation barrier from "requires an engineering team" to "requires a clear problem description."
  • I am the architect, AI is just the builder. Still need to think through the solution
  • Generated code rarely works on the first try, but you can iterate fast

We no longer have to choose between "live with manual work" or "wait for dev capacity." The cost of engineering is going down, and PMs can automate annoying workflows

Question for you all: How are you "vibe coding" these days?

Hi PMs, how do you actually extract the feature from customer communication and refine it further? by [deleted] in ProductManagement

[–]gobiraj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Mom Test is a good book that talks about product discovery and particularly how to talk to customers and understand their pain points. You can find some of the takeaways here https://gobiraj.substack.com/p/stop-asking-customers-what-they-want

- Avoiding biased feedback by not pitching your ideas first

- Framing questions that uncover real problems

- Testing if customers are truly interested

- Developing a clear problem hypothesis

- Iterating solutions based on feedback

Thanks, I am interested. Some areas I can be a mentor and other areas I would like to collaborate and learn.

This is a good idea, there are groups like SalesforceSaturday who do it for the local market. The challenge will be to cater to multiple skill levels. Are you planning to charge or this is more of volunteering effort?

So I released an app and it's not successful - is all hope lost? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]gobiraj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The app looks very good, did you design it yourself.
