Surely a highly innovative product that will sell in high volumes /s

Ohhh so it’s just openclaw. Innovative.

  OpenClaw as an appliance, ready to use, sold to non-techies? May as well be profitable.
  - boringg 7mo ago
    Does openclaw have a killer use yet? Ive not opted to use it yet becauase - while very impressive hype and capability - seems like a lot of risk/credits for not an insane gain.

      Does any fashion thing always offer a lot of gain? But it's selling well because it's hot fashion, a talking piece, a sign of belonging to a particular social circle, etc. Perplexity caught the moment very reasonably: a fad should be monetized very quickly, because it's often as quick to fizz out.

        I guess my question is there any value or is it merely the thing du jour.

      Giving non-technical people agents with custom skills, quickly (like literally in under an hour). We've done a couple similar deployments but with some hard guardrails and it's been a hit.
      - boringg 7mo ago
        So is that the use case -- getting non-technical people a leg up?
- sanderjd 7mo ago
  Productizing openclaw. Seems pretty smart. (But probably going to be commoditized pretty quickly.)

  Yep. Perplexity offers this comparison/recommendation: Choose Perplexity Computer if you: want a managed, safer, minimal‑setup agent for research, content, presentations, and business workflows, and you’re fine paying a subscription for a polished cloud experience. Choose OpenClaw if you: are technical, want local code execution and device automation, prefer full control over models/tools, and are willing to own the security and troubleshooting burden.
