My setup is similar: I use hyperkey (caps lock) + letters to switch between apps, that are (almost) always maximized. So I'm always focusing on one app at a time.

I don't use this one, but a simpler one, also running on a vps. I communicate via telegram.

I say to it: check my pending tasks on Todoist and see if you can tackle on of those by yourself.

It then finds some bugs in a webapp that I took note. I tell it to go for it, but use a new branch and deploy it on a new url. So it clones the repo, fix it, commit, push, deploy, and test. It just messages me afterwards.

This is possible because it has access to my todoist and github and several other services.

> The big players are just awful at marketing; too many SKUs and models - it takes a paragraph to figure out how 2 Dell laptops from the same release year differ.

Yes!! It's awful. I'm a long time Mac user and my wife needs a Windows laptop because of a specific software. I've tried three times to pick a computer for her, but I always give up after 10min and postpone the task...


Well, at least this one disclosed it...


But OpenClaw is "Claude Code" with bells and whistles so it can be contacted via messaging services and be woken up to do things at specific times.


Well, I, for one, am guilty of developing AI agents for public project evaluation for current governments. It's coming.
