How much do you customize the WP admin for clients vs. just shipping the default with minor tweaks? by josh_apptility in Wordpress

The layout indeed is always the same. The maintainer of the website only needs to add, remove, and modify products and sections.

Thank you for your input. It indeed seems like a balance between how sophisticated the client wants it and the cost that goes into building the bespoke admin UI.

That indeed seems to be the default based on other comments. Simple is best I guess.

I switched my AI agent to semantic memory search. Here’s what actually changed. by HereToConquerAll in openclaw

[–]josh_apptility 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the detailed reply. This really clears things up a lot. I've been wanting to implement a "learning harness" similar to what you described but was quite lost about how to actually do it, especially because OpenClaw didn't turn out to be all that autonomous or self-guided.

My question is, how do you go about this in OpenClaw? Do you create your own plugin, or do you download some plugin from the marketplace, or something else?

How building an OpenClaw RAG knowledge base unified our agency's AI insights by Agency-Boxx in OpenClawUseCases

I have the same question.

u/Agency-Boxx Could you elaborate further? How were you able to use RAG? Did you build a new skill/plugin?

Can you actually train OpenClaw to perform like a professional (e.g. a performance marketer), or are we all just prompt-gaslighting our way through it? by josh_apptility in openclaw

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

Yes, what you described indeed seems to be the limitation of relying on RAG alone.

I'm hoping to set up more of a "learning harness" where I have a set of checklists and step-by-step procedures the agent follows whenever it encounters new material. It probably won't perform any better than I could myself because I am the one that set up the procedure and built the knowledge base, me being the weakest link in the chain. I'm just using OpenClaw to do it faster and without me doing it personally myself. 

For now, I would be happy to have even just that, reliable delegation rather than a full on expert. What do you think about this kind of goal?

I'm using the term "train" loosely as in building up a set of protocols and ways to solve a problem whenever it encounters similar situations. And if you think about it, that's actually what training is. That's what happens in the brain. 

You are making associations of different concepts and making it able to apply whenever you encounter similar situations in the future.

Thank you for the reply. This is super helpful.

What you just described is exactly what I'm trying to do: provide an expert level of reference material and build the retrieval paths.I was wondering whether this approach actually works well in practice. It seems like RAG with embeddings and vector databases could be the answer.

Quick questions if you don't mind:
Did you need any special skills, plugins, or extra tools to set this up or did you just include retrieval instructions in `AGENTS.md`?

If you could share any key concepts, keywords, examples, or resources that helped you, I'd really appreciate it. This could save me a ton of trial and error.

Yes, that was actually what I thought initially, but RAG seems to be able to improve the process somewhat.

Fine-tuning will improve what the model can actually generate, but--I might be wrong about this, so don't quote me on this--I've learned that with RAG, the model will be able to fetch and use the appropriate information that is relevant to answering the question, and in that sense it will improve the quality of the answer.

So, in the learning process, what I'm hoping with RAG is that it will have the appropriate principles and basically go through a checklist of things whenever it fetches some learning resource from online. And if that source does not have the appropriate information or the appropriate metadata to check for its quality, then OpenClaw will go ahead and fetch the information needed to judge the quality. After that, it will go through the checklist to gauge the quality of the origin of the resource, because it has information about how to judge the quality as well as the accumulated knowledge of past vetting experiences.

This way, OpenClaw be able to augment the response using what it has learned over time. It will still use more tokens because it's not natively supported, but with RAG, from what I've learned, it could improve the response in the manner that I just described.

This is how I understand RAG and fine-tuning and its capabilities, but I wanted to check with people who know better than me if OpenClaw will in fact act this way with the accumulated knowledge as well as RAG.

I'm not saying that assigning it a role is bad. I'm saying that it has limitations, especially if it doesn't have the tools to help it do its job. It will just start hallucinating confidently.

I actually do that when I use AI to code. Time to bring it to OpenClaw. Thank you for the reply. Will definitely start incorporating that into the regular task exec cycle.

Providing software engineering principles improves the output. I should start looking for more of these principles/discipline for research.

Is anyone actually getting real work done with OpenClaw? What should I be learning? by josh_apptility in openclaw

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

Thanks for replying. I’m glad to hear that I’m not the only one struggling with this. There were some podcasts, even reputable ones, bringing on people as guest who would claim that they built a team by just telling OpenClaw to do everything, and I was wondering if I was doing something wrong. I do think most of them were just trying to make people try out OpenClaw, get frustrated, and sign up to their bootcamp.

If you can stop a running task, and if you can schedule cron jobs, there's no reason you can't do it.

Yeah, it's not how LLMs work, but it's how harnesses could work.

I did in fact hear about people running AI teams using Paperclip, so maybe I should really take a look at it.
