OpenClaw status with books: manton.org

@manton Forgive my lack of knowledge, but is there a specific reason for using OpenClaw for this? Do you think that Claude Code would be equally capable here?

@adoran2 One of the things that makes OpenClaw different is how it can keep working on things without being prompted. So it wakes up, consults its memory, figures out if it needs to be actively checking on something. It feels more autonomous than Claude Code and similar tools.

@adoran2 I’m realizing that I didn’t make it clear in my post that this is running on a server, not my computer. So it’s more like an employee who has their own computer and can do almost anything, making decisions along the way.

@manton That makes sense, thanks.

@manton Are you contributing to the Mac mini shortage, or did you go with something like the Digital Ocean droplet, Cloudflare Moltworker, or something else for hosting?

Really love hearing practical use cases like this, as I haven’t wired up one myself just yet but am itching for an excuse.

@bax It’s running on a small Hetzner server. It really doesn’t need much if it’s going to the cloud for AI anyway.

@manton I have to believe that is coming soon though, for all the major tools
