I tried it today for the first time. The onboarding is okay.
I picked Whatsapp but it ended up using my own account! So it's absolutely too dangerous. We are supposed to create a separate account but with which phone number? I only have one.
So I picked Telegram instead, added it to a group chat, but it was a slog to set the authorizations.
In the end I don't trust it to read my mails for security reasons so I uninstalled it!

- toinewx 7mo agonope, they recommend creating a separate whatsapp account. but fall short of saying you need a separate number (and subscription)
- recursive 7mo agoWhat would the joke be? I haven't touched OpenClaw and probably won't. I use WhatsApp lightly, but it seems like it requires a distinct phone number, used as an account identifier. So for the benefit of those of us not immersed in this scene, could you elaborate?
- permo-w 7mo agoPresumably they're referring to the general ease of obtaining a second phone number. I think the bigger issue could be making a second Whatsapp account though. WhatsApp does not want you having multiple accounts. Last I checked there's no in-app option to log out on Android other than to delete your account
- AdamN 7mo agoMacOS supports multiple users - I would absolutely sandbox any agent like this and only slowly give it permissions (and never to anything that's critical without compensating controls).
